It comprises a collection of 196 Indian <i>sutras</i> ("threads" - as <i>sutra</i> translates from Sanskrit) written 1,700 years ago. These threads or aphorisms were compiled by the Indian sage Patañjali and offer guidelines for living a meaningful and purposeful life. <p/>The book is organized into four parts and provides descriptions of the eight limbs of yoga, such as pranayama and asana. The translated text is presented alongside a clear and insightful commentary by Swami Vivekananda, which makes them more accessible to the modern reader and yoga practitioner. His message of universal brotherhood and self-awakening remains relevant today, especially in the current backdrop of widespread political turmoil around the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Swami Vivekananda</b> (1863-1902), a Hindu monk, was the foremost disciple of the sage Ramakrishna and a world spokesman for the school of Hindu philosophy called Vedanta.
