The Indian sage Patanjali systematised the ancient science of human psychology and the art of self-mastery known as "Raja Yoga" -- the path of kings.

Raja Yoga teaches that by acquiring mastery over the functioning of the mind, we can effectively manage our thoughts, words, emotions and actions.

Meditation is a practice that helps us gain that mastery. Beyond that, perfection in meditation unfolds that state of super-consciousness, which takes one beyond all bondage, ignorance and misery.

The Yoga Sutras not only explain the stages of concentration and meditation culminating in self-realization, but also give a practical and scientific method of verifying these stages through personal experience.

Swami Sridharananda's clear explanations of the Yoga Sutras, with special emphasis on instructions for the practice of concentration and meditation, are an invaluable guide to any earnest student of meditation and spirituality.
