Yoga as Philosophy and Religion is a comprehensive book written by Surendranath Dasgupta that explores the history, philosophy, and spiritual aspects of yoga. The book delves into the origins of yoga, tracing its roots back to ancient Indian texts such as the Vedas and the Upanishads. It also examines the different schools of yoga, including Hatha, Raja, and Karma yoga, and explains their respective practices and goals. One of the key themes of the book is the relationship between yoga and Hinduism, as well as the ways in which yoga has influenced other religions and spiritual practices around the world. Dasgupta also discusses the role of meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) in yoga, as well as the benefits of a regular yoga practice for physical and mental health.Overall, Yoga as Philosophy and Religion is a scholarly and insightful exploration of one of the world's oldest and most revered spiritual practices. It offers a wealth of information and perspective for anyone interested in yoga, spirituality, or Eastern philosophy.1924. This little volume is an attempt at a brief exposition of the philosophical and religious doctrine found in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra as explained by its successive commentaries of Vyasa, Vacaspati, Vijnana Bhikshu and others. The scope of this work is limited to a brief exposition of the intellectual foundation, or the theoretical side, of the Yoga practices, consisting of the philosophical, psychological, cosmological, ethical, religious, and other doctrines which underlie these practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
