Raja-Yoga

The book presents Swami Vivekananda's reinterpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras for a Western audience, marking a significant shift in the perception of yoga. It includes transcripts of his talks and a free translation of the Sutras, enriched with his commentaries. Highlighted as the starting point of modern yoga, it also explores the teachings aimed at a group seeking relatable spiritual practices. Vivekananda's work has profoundly influenced Western thought on yoga, despite the evolution of the practice since its publication.
