Demystifying Patanjali: The Yoga Sutras (Aphorisms): The Wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda Presented by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda: The Wisdom ... by his Direct Disciple, Swami Kriyananda

What happens as we grow spiritually? Is there a step-by-step process that everyone goes throughâ€”all spiritual seekers, including those of any or no religious persuasionâ€”as they gradually work their way upward, until they achieve the highest state of Self-realization?
About 2200 years ago, a great spiritual master of India named Patanjali described this process, and presented humanity with a clear-cut, step-by-step outline of how all truth seekers and saints achieve divine union. He called this universal inner experience and process â€œyogaâ€ or â€œunion.â€ His collection of profound aphorismsâ€”a true world scriptureâ€”has been dubbed Patanjaliâ€™s Yoga Sutras.
Unfortunately, since that time many scholarly translators with little or no spiritual realization have written commentaries on Patanjaliâ€™s writings that have succeeded only in burying his pithy insights in convoluted phrases like â€œbecomes assimilated with transformationsâ€ and â€œthe object alone shines without deliberation.â€ How can any reader understand Patanjaliâ€™s original meaning when he or she has to wade through such bewildering terminology?
Thankfully, a great modern yoga masterâ€”Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogiâ€”has cut through the scholarly debris and resurrected Patanjaliâ€™s original teachings and revelations. Now, in Demystifying Patanjali, Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda, shares his guruâ€™s crystal clear and easy-to-grasp explanations of Patanjaliâ€™s aphorisms.
As Kriyananda writes in his introduction, â€œMy Guru personally shared with me some of his most important insights into these sutras. During the three and a half years I lived with him, he also went with me at great length into the basic teachings of yoga.
â€œI was able, moreover, to ask my Guru personally about many of the subjects covered by Patanjali. His explanations have lingered with me, and have been a priceless help in the [writing of this book].â€
