Patanjali Yoga Sutras: Kriya Perspective

In this scriptural commentary, Lahiri Mahasaya offers insights into Patanjali's Yoga Sutras through the lens of Kriya Yoga. This small yet invaluable book is divided into four distinct parts.

The first part delves into the nature of Yoga, exploring the concept of Samadhi, or "Attunement" with the ultimate Self, and examining its various facets. The second part outlines the first five steps of the eightfold Yoga path, providing guidance for the truth seeker.

The third part delves deeper, outlining the final three steps of the Yoga journey: Dharana ("Tranquility"), Dhyana ("meditation"), and Samadhi ("Attunement"). This section also addresses the state of inner exploration during meditation practice and the potential dangers of developing yogic powers.

The fourth and final part of the book focuses on the pinnacle of Yoga, Kaivalya, or "the highest Liberation." Throughout the work, the primary aim is to expound on the profound insights and practices of Yoga.

This concise yet comprehensive commentary by Lahiri Mahasaya sheds light on the transformative teachings of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, guiding readers through the multi-faceted journey of self-realization. The author's insights, rooted in the Kriya Yoga tradition, offer a unique and invaluable perspective on the timeless wisdom of Yoga.
