A landmark new translation and edition Written almost two millennia ago, Patañjali's work focuses on how to attain the direct experience and realization of the purusa: the innermost individual self, or soul. As the classical treatise on the Hindu understanding of mind and consciousness and on the technique of meditation, it has exerted immense influence over the religious practices of Hinduism in India and, more recently, in the West. Edwin F. Bryant's translation is clear, direct, and exact. Each sutra is presented as Sanskrit text, transliteration, and precise English translation, and is followed by Bryant's authoritative commentary, which is grounded in the classical understanding of yoga and conveys the meaning and depth of the sutras in a user-friendly manner for a Western readership without compromising scholarly rigor or traditional authenticity. In addition, Bryant presents insights drawn from the primary traditional commentaries on the sutras written over the last millennium and a half.

Providing an explanation of the practical and philosophical foundations of Raja Yoga, The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali is arguably the most important text on Yogic philosophy. The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali is widely regarded as the most authoritative text on yoga. It comprises a collection of 196 Indian sutras (“threads” – as sutra translates from Sanskrit) written 1,700 years ago. These threads or aphorisms were compiled by the Indian sage Patañjali and offer guidelines for living a meaningful and purposeful life. The book is organized into four parts and provides descriptions of the eight limbs of yoga, such as pranayama and asana. The translated text is presented alongside a clear and insightful commentary by Swami Vivekananda, which makes them more accessible to the modern reader and yoga practitioner. His message of universal brotherhood and self-awakening remains relevant today, especially in the current backdrop of widespread political turmoil around the world.

The Vedas are the eternal source of knowledge from which all the other Hindu Scriptures originated. When we say eternal books of knowledge, it carries a sense of oneness with the Supreme Lord. Scriptures are the holy books of a religion that are pious and revered. All the religions in the world have one scripture eachwhereas Hinduism has many Scriptures. Hindu scriptures are divided into Shruti and Smriti. the Shruti is the primary authority and the Smriti is the secondary. the Shruti literally means what is heard. the great rishis of yore heard the eternal truth which was later compiled by the great rishi Veda Vyasa in the four Vedas - Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. Smritis on the other hand include Itihasas or epics, Puranas or chronicles, Agamas or the manuals of worship and Darshanas or the schools of philosophy. All these are the supreme books of human knowledge and form the foundation of Hindu religion.

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. Vedânta-Sûtras Part 3 (1904) is volume XLVIII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, also known as Brahma Sutras, is in three parts and focuses on Hinduism. Part 3 includes commentary by Râmânuja and describes Vedanta, one of the six systems of Hindu philosophy. Translated from Sanskrit by Thibaut, this text is for those interested in expanding their knowledge of Hinduism.

The Origin of Life According to Hinduism •The Science Behind Location of Hindu temples or ‘Argashastra’ •Sanskrit-The Language of Hinduism •Question; What Did India Give the World? •Hindu Technology Behind Nuclear Testing and Rockets to Outer Space •The Hindu Sutra Contribution to Present Day Mathematics. At the outset, I must tell the readers that this is not a work to propagate the Hindu religion, but to explain the Hindu culture as it existed in India before the advent of all other religions of the world. The origin of almost all tenets and beliefs mentioned predates the religions of the Abrahamic faith and its establishment in India, and it is for this reason, I felt it is more accurate to call it ‘Hindu Sutras’ rather than ‘Indian Sutras’ although the two constantly overlap. Indians practicing other faiths should consider it an inheritance or, more appropriately phrased, a genetic endowment. I am an agnostic Indian who wishes to abide by the culture of Hinduism.
