Description:

Patanjali’s Yogasutra: A Psychological Study presents an English translation and commentary on Patanjali’s Yogasutras, using contemporary psychological terminology. The book delves into the psychological, philosophical, and spiritual dimensions of yoga, drawing insights into human nature, consciousness, and self-actualization.

The author explores the implications of yoga theory and practices for modern psychology, offering a comparative perspective between traditional Indian psychology and Western psychological frameworks.
