Emperor Wu: " Which merits did I acquire by SO generously supporting the cause of Buddhism?" Bodhidharma: " None whatsoever, your Imperial Majesty." Emperor Wu: " What is considered by your reverence to be the first principle of the Holy Doctrine?" Bodhidharma: " Fast emptiness with nothing holy therein" Narayana: The Dharma of the Buddha, the Holy Doctrine, is like an empty space as fast as the Cosmos, with nothing whatsoever therein, but this nothing is not nothing. Maya and Lila are powers of Brahman. Brahman and Its powers are one. Therefore, and as all is the One, there is no essential difference between Brahman and Maya, Brahman and Lila, the Ocean of Wisdom and ignorance. Laotzu: "It was from the nameless that heaven and earth sprang." ( The Tao te Ching, first stanza.)

The aphorisms collected in this book, first published in 1953, were composed by Patanjali, a great Indian sage, over 1,500 years ago, and here translated into clear English prose. The accompanying commentary interprets the sayings for the modern world, and in doing so gives a full picture of what yoga is, what its aims are, and how it can be practised.

The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali are a fundamental text on the practice of Integrated Living, Attaining Fitness and Joy, and preparing oneself for Liberation. Even today, such practices are alive in Ashrams, Gurukuls and Villages. Many enlightened Masters are teaching such values across the globe. It is hoped that this book, re-interpreted in the context of modern thinking and lifestyle will encourage Educational Institutions, the Medical Fraternity and Administrators worldwide to see how well the practice of Yoga, especially Pranayama and Meditation can be approached and deployed with success. Mankind's prayer and Gurudev Sri Sri's vision of ""a disease-free body, quiver-free breath, stress-free mind, inhibition-free intellect, obsession-free memory, ego that includes all, and soul which is free from sorrow"" can then be easily realized. It is also meant for use in Sanskrit Grammar colleges. The original Sanskrit text is given with a Latin transliteration and an English commentary.

The Vedic seers say: 'God is the creator of the universe.' Narayana: The cosmos is an eternal thought in the mind of Brahman. The cosmos is a living being and of mental nature. This mental life.form or being is immortal. It is one of the mental functions of Brahman. The Vedic seers say: 'God brings forth the universe by means of the Veda's.' Narayana: 'Although the cosmos expands and contracts like one breathing, it is forever. There never was a station, where the cosmos was not, nor shall it ever be that there is no cosmos. St. Thomas von Aquinas was in fatal error when he stated that Nothing contains a potential from whence something can be made by God. The everlasting cosmos cannot be brought forth by anything or anyone. For the cosmos is not separate from God, but a living function of the living God.'

The Yogasutra is one of the most important works of Indian culture. The present book is an attempt of interpretation of the Yogasutras based on some special criteria adopted by the authros: (1) To use the traditional commentaries as auxiliaries, not as guides, with prudence and freedom, (2) To interpret those Sutras, in which Patanjali analyzes real phenomena, as what they actually are: descriptions of facts of experience. To such an end the authors have tried to have a clear idea of the phenomena to which Patanjali refers, and in this task they have found extremely useful the descriptions of their mystical experiences by Yogis of India and Christian mystics. The book includes the Sanskrit text of the Sutras and an English translation by the authors.
