Originally published in 1897. Preface: All educated Hindus will admit that the history, geography, and astronomy of the Hindu sacred books are egregiously wrong. In the following pages it is shown that belief in Yoga powers and charms is equally mistaken. Marvellous power may indeed be acquired, but not by Yoga. The reader is advised to follow the course pointed out at page 58..........Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. | Yoga Sastra - The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Examined with a Notice of Swami Vivekananda's Yoga Philosophy by John Murdoch, Paperback
