About this audiobook
What is classical Yoga beyond the familiar language of poses and wellness? This original critical introduction to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras explores the distinction between consciousness and mind, the eight limbs, ethical discipline, attention, discernment, devotion, and liberation. Seventeen thematic chapters use brief source readings and original modern cases to test questions about attachment, evidence, and authority. The book separates traditional claims about powers and rebirth from established scientific facts, acknowledges uncertainty about authorship and dates, and distinguishes Yoga’s dualism from Advaita. Includes a defined glossary and guided reading notes. Part of Noetic Lantern: World Thinkers, Clearly. Not a medical program or a promise of extraordinary attainments.
