基本説明
New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2003. Publication delayed (Originally scheduled in August 2001). This book will clarify and enrich the understanding of Yoga within the traditions of India including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and its perception in the modern world.
Full Description
The popular perception of yoga in the West remains for the most part that of a physical fitness program, largely divorced from its historical and spiritual roots. The essays collected here provide a sense of the historical emergence of the classical system presented by Patañjali, a careful examination of the key elements, overall character and contemporary relevance of that system (as found in the Yoga Sutra) and a glimpse of some of the tradition's many important ramifications in later Indian religious history.
