The Ashtanga Yoga of Patanjali : The Eightfold Path to Liberation

The Ashtanga yoga of Patanjali is universally applicable, indifferent to the passage of time, cultural divergences, social rank, race, or gender.

It offers clear and practical guidelines to salvation while recognizing the importance of devotion, ethical and responsible behavior, mindfulness, Self-study, and simple living.

This book is an interpretation, analysis, and commentary on the practical course of study offered by the Yoga Sutras to each of us striving to achieve liberation through Self-Realization.

It clarifies the esoteric science of yoga, specifically the Ashtanga yoga of Patanjali, and make it more accessible.

Each of us must read, study, contemplate, and meditate on the meaning of each sutra until we have not only a deep understanding but our own realization.

We understand best when we internalize knowledge transforming it into wisdom.

We then must transform this realization into action, applying our gained wisdom to practical application.

When we do this, we are sharing our uplifted consciousness with the world contributing to the spiritual evolution maintained and supported by spirit.
