The Integrity of the Yoga
Darshana centres on the thought of Patanjali, the great exponent of the
authoritative and Classical Yoga school of Hinduism and the reputed
author of the Yoga-sutras. In this textual, historical, and interpretive
study, whicher offers a plausible and innovative reading of the
'intention' of the Yoga-sutras, namely that Yoga does not advocate the
abandonment or condemnation of the world, but rather supports a stance
that enables one to live more fully in the world without being enslaved
by worldly identification. Challenging and correcting misperceptions
about Yoga drawn by traditional and modern interpretations of the
Yoga-sutras, the author argues for a fresh vision of the spiritual
potential present in this seminal text, thereby contributing to our
understanding of the meaning and practical relevance of Yoga and its
reception today.
"A superb piece of work, this book provides an original, constructive, and insightful interpretation of the Yoga system."
