The Authentic Yoga: Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras by P Y Deshpande (1st Ed)

The Authentic Yoga: Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras by P Y Deshpande

The Authentic Yoga is a must-read for those who wish to understand the true purpose and nature of Yoga. It is thought be P.Y. D’s most outstanding work, offering the reader a profound commentary on the universal principles of Yoga as presented to the world by the great sage Patanjali. P.Y. explains the nature of a meditative mind, the effect of meditation on consciousness, how to realise our human potential, and what happens when we succumb to likes and dislikes. His approach is purely scientific, and his findings are the result of direct insight through yogic practice.
