The Yoga-Sutra of Patanjali by Chip Hartranft

The Yoga-Sutra of Patanjali by Chip Hartranft

In just 196 short aphorisms, this classic work of Indian philosophy spells out succinctly how the mind works, and how it is possible to use the mind to attain liberation. Compiled in the second or third century CE, the Yoga-Sutra is a road map of human consciousness--and a particularly helpful guide to the mind states one encounters in meditation, yoga, and other spiritual practices. It expresses the truths of the human condition with great eloquence: how we know what we know, why we suffer, and how we can discover the way out of suffering. Chip Hartranft's fresh translation and extensive, lucid commentary bring the text beautifully to life. He also provides useful auxiliary materials, including an afterword on the legacy of the Yoga-Sutra and its relevance for us today.

Chip Hartranft's work connects the yoga and Buddhist meditation traditions. Since 1978, he has taught a blend of movement and stillness to students in the Boston region as the founding director of The Arlington Center, which is dedicated to the integration of yoga and dharma practice. Chip has been a student of yoga for many years, mostly in the Krishnamacharya traditions, and has also done vipassana meditation. He hosts annual retreats in the US and overseas that combine yoga movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. www.arlingtoncenter.org has further information, including how to contact Chip Hartranft and The Arlington Center.
