{"product_id":"2940016245805","title":"Patanjali Yoga Sutras: A Translation in the Light of Vedanta Scripture","description":"Composed over two millenniums ago, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali remains the philosophical thread that unites the ancient and current world of yoga. Yet, its many translations are underwhelming, lacking coherent connection to reality and practicality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInnumerable forms and sects of yoga have come and gone in between. Obsessed with gaining special powers over mind and body, yoga’s re-tellers have clouded its history in a mystical mist of fantastic claims. It is human nature to crave powers to radically change our lot in life. These layers of dazzle and glitter have over the centuries led us further away from yoga’s spiritual core. The sutras’ clear, logical, and practical path has been blurred and lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRadically breaking with this mystical tradition, A. K. Aruna seeks to reclaim for us this fountainhead of yoga by retying the understanding of these sutras to the even more ancient source of spiritual knowledge and yoga—the Upanishads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Upanishads eschewed limited pursuits in order to seek an ultimate goal that was not time-bound. In this still pure form of the yoga of seeking ultimate, timeless truth, the words of Patanjali become crystal clear and practical. Yoga shines in timeless relevance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA. K. Aruna’s \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Patanjali Yoga Sutras: A Translation in the Light of Vedanta Scripture\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; has brilliantly refocused the light on the Yoga Sutras. This is a companion, translation only, booklet to the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Translation and Commentary\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; version of the text by A. K. Aruna.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis translation only version contains the Devanagari and transliteration text, a word-for-word vocabulary, and a full translation of each sutra.","brand":"Upasana Yoga Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165822370032,"sku":"2940016245805","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016245805_p0.jpg?v=1763631638","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016245805","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
