-:ABOUT THE AUTHOR:-

What is Consciousness? What is the mind?

What is Yoga? What is the eight-fold path?

Can Yoga help unlock the mystery of consciousness?

This book uncovers the answers to these questions. Yoga, far from being a mere form of exercise, is a profound inner journey to know consciousness by stilling the mind. Sage Patanjali’s Yoga Sūtras provide a deep exploration of the mind, consciousness, and the eightfold path to self-realisation.

Dr. Shriram Agashe, for the last five decades, has been making the sūtras more accessible through his lucid commentaries and lectures. This book presents his interpretations of sūtras in a structured guide, providing a handbook for Yoga teachers, academics, and seekers of self-discovery at large. As science and AI raise new questions about consciousness and what it means to be human, the Yoga Sūtras offer timeless insight into the mind and our true Self.
