Patanjali and Yoga is Mircea Eliade’s influential study of classical Yoga philosophy as articulated in the Yoga Sūtras of Patanjali. Eliade examines Yoga not merely as a system of physical discipline, but as a comprehensive spiritual and metaphysical path aimed at liberation through mastery of consciousness.
The book explores key concepts such as meditation, concentration, ascetic practices, and the relationship between body, mind, and transcendence. Eliade places Patanjali’s Yoga within its historical, religious, and philosophical context, comparing it with other Indian spiritual traditions and broader mystical systems.
Regarded as a foundational scholarly work in the Western study of Yoga, this volume remains essential reading for students of philosophy, religion, and the history of spiritual practices.
