Sinopsis

In this first discourse we shall concern ourselves with the gaining of a general idea of the subject of Yoga, seeking its place in nature, its own character, its object in human evolutionáThese lectures are intended to give an outline of Yoga, in order to prepare the student to take up, for practical purposes, the Yoga sutras of Patanjali, the chief treatise on Yoga.áI have on hand, with my friend Bhagavan Das as collaborateur, a translation of these Sutras, with VyasaâÇÖs commentary, and a further commentary and elucidation written in the light of Theosophy.áTo prepare the student for the mastering of that more difficult task, these lectures were designed, hence the many references to Patanjali.áThey may, however, also serve to give to the ordinary lay reader some idea of the Science of sciences, and perhaps to allure a few towards its study.áá
