A collection of nine essays on the topic. "Recent years have witnessed an increased production in scholarly works on the yoga tradition, which have helped to chart this complex and multifaceted evolution and to demonstrate the important role that it has played in the development of India's religious and philosophical traditions. And yet the popular perception of yoga in the West remains for the the most part that of a physical fitness program, largely divorced from its historical and spiritual roots. The essays collected here provide a sense of the historical emergence of the classical system presented by Patanjali, a careful examination of the key elements, overall character and contemporary relevance of that system, as found in the Yoga Sutra, and a glimpse of some of the tradition's many important ramifications in later Indian religious history."
