The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
The Yoga sutras by Patanjali is a collection of Sanskrit sutras (aphorisms) on the theory and practice of yoga. It is a seminal work in yoga and is more about control of mind and the true goal of yoga. The sutras are extremely brief, and the translation in neat English makes it very easy for people to understand the ancient Sanskrit text. The sutras are full of wisdom, and it starts with the birth and growth of spiritual man through the control of mind. The theme is the great regeneration and the birth of the spiritual from the psychical man. The contemporary Yoga tradition holds the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali to be one of the foundational texts of classical Yoga philosophy. In all, this is a "all in one" book for yoga philosophy written by the master himself.
