An Introduction to Yoga [antikvár]

FOREWORD.These lectures are intended to give an outline of Yoga, in order to prepare the student to take up, for practical purposes, the Sütras of Patanjali, the chief treatise on Yoga. I have on hand, with my friend Bh aga van Das as collaborateur, a translation of these Sütras, with Vyasa's commen-tary, and a further commentary and elucidation written in the light of Theosophy. To prepare the student for the mastering of that more difiicult task, these lectures were designed ; hence the many references to Patanjali. They may, how-ever, alsó serve to give to the ordinary lay reader somé idea of the Science of sciences, and perhaps to allure a few towards its study.Annié Besant.
