The Textbook of Yoga Psychology, written by noted Sanskrit scholar, yogi and Guru Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D., combines his definitive translation with an inspiring interpretation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Patanjali's ancient formulas for self analysis make this text crucial for a proper understanding of the philosophy of Yoga. The accessibility of Dr. Mishra's translation has made it a favorite among beginning Yoga students, while experienced yoga practitioners and novices alike appreciate the clarity of his commentaries on each sutra. Dr. Mishra's interpretation of the Yoga Sutras is also unique in placing this ancient work in a modern context, examining Yoga psychology in the light of recent advances in psychiatry, psychology and parapsychology. Increasing its value as a reference, this edition features an Appendix with the complete text of the Yoga Sutras presented in the original Sanskrit devanagari script and transliteration with a revised translation by Dr. Mishra (written in 1986).

5.0 out of 5 stars I've been reading this book for a few months now ...
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017
I've been reading this book for a few months now and it has been a transforming experience. This is not the easiest book to understand and surely needs to be read a few times (and even then most likely you won't completely understand it). But it is comprehensive.

If you are a determined and curious seeker, go for it! This one's a treasure!
