The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Více o knize

Patanjali, a pivotal figure in Hindu philosophy, is renowned for his contributions to two significant texts. The Yoga-sutras systematically categorize Yogic thought across four volumes, exploring themes such as psychic power, the practice of yoga, profound contemplation (Samadhi), and ultimate separateness (Kaivalya). Additionally, the Mahabhashya serves as a comprehensive defense of the grammarian Panini, countering critiques from Katyayana while also addressing some of Panini's own aphorisms. Together, these works highlight Patanjali's influence on both yoga and grammar.
