Patanjali

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Book of the Spiritual Man is one of the foundational texts of classical yoga philosophy. Attributed to the sage Pata jali and presented here in the influential translation and interpretation by Charles Johnston, this work outlines the disciplined path of spiritual development known as Raja Yoga. Through concise aphorisms, the Yoga Sutras explore the nature of consciousness, the causes of suffering, and the practical means by which the individual may attain inner freedom and self-mastery. Johnston's commentary illuminates the psychological and spiritual depth of the text, making its ancient wisdom accessible to modern readers. This book serves both as a philosophical guide and a practical manual for meditation, ethical living, and spiritual realization, and is essential reading for students of yoga, Eastern philosophy, and the science of consciousness.

ENDELIG MED NORSK OVERSETTELSE! Et must i bokhyllen for alle seriøse yogautøvere. Yoga Sutras av Patanjali har oppnådd status som en av de viktigste klassiske yogatekstene, og Patanjalis definisjon av yoga er også en av de mest utbredte. Han var den første som metodisk registrerte den eldgamle og tidløse kunnskapen om yoga i åtte klassiske trinn. Med Patanjali ble yoga innlemmet i den hinduistiske tradisjonen som en av seks filosofiske veier og fikk sin utpreget indiske karakter. Yoga Sutras er en bok som inviterer til refleksjon og et must i bokhyllen for enhver ekte yogafan. En god måte å nærme seg kunnskapen din på er å lese noen få sutraer om gangen. De er logiske i sin struktur, og du vil sakte forstå mer og mer. Patanjalis 196 klassiske sutraer er nøye tolket og fint oversatt av forfatteren Jan Fahleman. Han har praktisert meditasjon og yoga asanas i mange tiår og brukt noen av Patanjalis sutraer. Siden 1970-tallet har han studert vedisk litteratur og forskjellige åndelige mestere. ”Da jeg begynte min åndelige søken, ble jeg tiltrukket av visdommen til åndelige mester som Martinus, Paul Brunton, Yogananda, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi og Swami Muktananda formidlet. Nylig har kunnskapen om Eckhart Tolle og Adyashanti også vært av interesse.” – Jan Fahleman

Patañjali skrev sin yoga-sutra för mer än 1500 år sedan. Hans bok är ändå fortfarande högst aktuell, inte bara för att yoga idag är populärare än någonsin tidigare, utan framför allt för att de problem han brottas med lika mycket rör nutidsmänniskan. Hurdant är människans sinne? Kan alla hennes bång-styriga tankar stillas? Kan hon bryta destruktiva tankemönster? Och finns kanske något bortom tanken? Yoga-s tra handlar som namnet säger om yoga, men på ett filosofiskt genomgripande sätt, där Patañjali inte nöjer sig med att beskriva människans och världens beskaffenhet, utan också presenterar en konkret metod för att bryta de bojor som fjättrar oss. Texten ger oss en fascinerande inblick i en världsåskådning som vid första anblick kan verka främmande, men som vid ett närmare studium på många sätt kan kännas bekant. För översättningen av Yoga-s tra den första direkt från sanskrit till svenska står docent Måns Broo från Åbo Akademi. Han har också försett texten med utförliga förklaringar som sammanfattar hur de klassiska indiska kommentatorerna uppfattat Patañjalis verk.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are a collection of 196 Indian sutras (aphorisms) on the theory and practice of yoga. The Yoga Sutras were compiled prior to 400 CE by Sage Patanjali who synthesized and organized knowledge about yoga from older traditions. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali was the most translated ancient Indian text in the medieval era, having been translated into about forty Indian languages and two non-Indian languages: Old Javanese and Arabic. David Gordon White points to a period of when the text fell into relative obscurity for nearly 700 years from the 12th to 19th century, and made a comeback in late 19th century due to the efforts of Swami Vivekananda, the Theosophical Society and others. It gained prominence again as a comeback classic in the 20th century.

About two millennia ago, the sage Patanjali synthesized and organized the teachings on yoga from older traditions into an intricately connected sequence of aphorisms. Hindu tradition regards The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as the foundational text of yoga philosophy. The work fell into obscurity from the 12th to the 19th century, returning to prominence only in the late 19th century due to the efforts of the Theosophical Society and then Swami Vivekananda and others.

The sutras of the great sage Patanjali, which together constitute a landmark text in yoga spiritualism, are available here in this classic translation by theosophic scholar Charles Johnson. Historically the most translated of all ancient Indian texts, Patanjali's sutras since the beginning of the 20th century enjoyed audiences within and outside India. The translator Charles Johnson was one of Ireland's celebrated theosophists, with a great interest in the religious and philosophical texts of old. This edition originally appeared in 1912, and introduced yoga to Western audiences. The sutras explain the tenets of various yoga, and how the yogi is able to absorb energy and strengthen thereby. The means of gradually attaining a serene mental state known as Kaivalya as a precursor to the blissfulness of samadhi is detailed. The constant practice and disciplined honing of the bodily senses, and the differing forms of yoga used to achieve a state of perfection in each pillar of the practice.
