The world today is moving very fast. Each second today is important. People are running in order to maintain pace in this fast moving world. They are running for money, for fame and for success. But while they constantly run, they tend to neglect the most important component of their world: it is themselves. They neglect them and in a way torture their bodies, minds, and souls. That is the reason why most people today suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, which further leads to their frustration. People need rejuvenation and relaxation and this relaxation would prepare them for further competition.

A well known formulae of attaining peace and rejuvenation is the practice of yoga. This ancient Indian art of exercise and meditation not only helps to maintain the body but also controls the mind and the soul, thus providing a holistic rejuvenation of the people. This book, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, attempts to educate the individuals of this ancient art. The book lists down around 200 sutras or aphorisms. These sutras form the foundation of the Ashtanga yoga or the Raja Yoga.

Ashtanga Yoga consists of a total of eight limbs of which five are external aids and the rest of the three are internal aids. The external aids include Yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, and pratyahara, while the internal aids include dharana, dhyana, and Samadhi. Patanjali Yoga Sutras was published by The Art of Living in 2010. It is available in hardcover.
