Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from The Study of Patanjali
This book was hurriedly written as the Griffith Prize essay as early as 1914, and it is published in a great hurry on the eve of my departure for England. Had it not been for the encouragement of the Hon'ble Chief Justice Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, Kt., C.S.I., the great patron of learning, this essay would never have been published. I have tried to give here an account of the Yoga System of thought as contained in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali as interpreted by Vyasa, Vachaspati and Vijnana Bhikshu with occasional references to the views of other systems. My work "Yoga Philosophy in relation to other Indian Systems of Thought" which I hope will be published shortly by the University of Calcutta is a more advanced and comprehensive work than the present attempt. But since it may yet take some time before that book is published I do not much hesitate to publish this essay. This is my earliest attempt on Indian Philosophy and no one probably is more conscious of its defects as myself. As I had to stay far away from Calcutta at Chittagong and as I had no time in my hands owing to my departure to England, I do very much regret that I could not properly supervise the work of its printing. Many errors of printing have consequently escaped. It is however hoped that the errors may not be such that they will inconvenience the reader much.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound depths of the Yoga System of thought, as meticulously outlined in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. It navigates the intricate interpretations of this ancient text by renowned scholars such as Vyasa, Vachaspati, and Vijnana Bhikshu, while occasionally drawing insightful comparisons with other philosophical systems. The author embarks on a captivating exploration of the fundamental relationship between mind and matter, a recurring theme in the annals of philosophical inquiry. This book meticulously examines the core tenets of Patanjali's metaphysics, shedding light on the concept of three primal qualities or Gunas ââ â Sattwa (intelligence-stuff), Rajas (energy), and Tamas (inertia) ââ â that form the bedrock of all existence, both mental and physical. Through a comparative lens, the author delves into the nuanced distinctions and intriguing parallels between Patanjali's views and the ideas of Western philosophers like Aristotle, Leibniz, and Hegel. The exploration extends to the fascinating realm of Prakriti, the undifferentiated, primordial state of matter, drawing connections with similar concepts found in various schools of Indian philosophy, such as the Vedanta and Sankhya doctrines. The book culminates in an insightful analysis of the intricate relationship between the Purusha (spirit) and the Buddhi (intellect), unraveling the enigmatic nature of their connection and its profound implications for human consciousness and the pursuit of liberation. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling and erudite journey into the heart of Yoga philosophy, illuminating its timeless wisdom and its enduring relevance in understanding the human experience.
