A great spiritual master of ancient times, Patanjali, presented humanity through his Yoga Sutras with a step-by-step outline of how all spiritual aspirants achieve union with God. He called this universal experience "yoga" or "union." Since then, scholars have written commentaries that bury Patanjali's insights in confusing terms like "mental modifications." Thankfully, a modern yoga master - Paramhansa Yogananda - has resurrected Patanjali's original teachings and revelations. In DEMYSTIFYING PATANJALI, Swami Kriyananda shares Yogananda's crystal clear and easy-to-grasp explanations. "After reading many translations of the Yoga Sutras over the years, I found Swami Kriyananda's commentaries and writings so lucid and practical in their application to everyday life. It is a blessing to have Patanjali's teaching accessible to everyone seeking the divine within." - Dennis M. Harness, Ph.D., Psychologist and Vedic astrologer
