The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali

First published in 1889, William Q. Judge’s The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali presents a foundational text of classical yoga philosophy, exploring themes such as concentration, meditation, consciousness, and liberation. Rooted in ancient Indian wisdom and interpreted through the lens of nineteenth-century Theosophy, the work offers insights into the mind's stillness and the pursuit of higher understanding. It serves as both a translation of the Yoga Sutras and a reflection of the period when Eastern spiritual ideas began to influence Western thought.
