PATAÑJALI ŞI YOGA
Patañjali and Yoga

Summary/Abstract: In order to shed light on the effort made by Patañjali, the famous author of no less famous Yoga-Sūtra, to gather and systematize the valuable spiritual doctrines of his time, Eliade decided to summarize Patañjali’s intellectual and spiritual effort in the pages of a small volume, called Patañjali and Yoga. Although small, Eliade’s volume proves to be a suitable introduction to the yoga philosophy expresses by Patañjali in YogaSūtra. By reading Eliade, one can follow the intellectual path taken by Patañjali in his systematization effort. One can thus understand the classical yoga treaty as a practical guide and a philosophical approach in order to attend unconditional freedom and immortality.
