Introduction to Album — 25 Yoga Sutra Verses歌词完整版

Welcome to this compilation of 25 Key verses of the Yoga Sutra. This album is intended as a scriptural aid to students of yoga in the contemporary context. Specialized tracks are devoted to Sanskrit recitation, English translation and proper pronunciation. Students who are not native speakers of Indian languages can here systematically develop a facility with the Sanskrit used in the Yoga Sutra.

Students who are serious about their yoga often want a handhold on the ancient scriptures directly related to their practice. In order to assist in this endeavor, I have created two versions of English translation and provided a guide to anatomically correct pronunciation of otherwise confusing letters.

The great ancient master of Yoga, Sri Patanjali, compiled 196 Sanskrit verses in four chapters together to make up the Yoga Sutra. Students would memorize all 196 verses in a sing-song cadence that was the hallmark of the Vedic oral tradition. Here 25 of those verses are compiled with special attention to the needs of the beginning and intermediate yoga student in the West.

There should be no mistake that only 25 verses need be learned, or that these 25 are a summary. After careful research, these 25 verses were found to be among the most relevant to yoga practitioners in the West, and the hope is that this compilation and my new translations will encourage deeper study of the entire Sutra given to us by Sri Patanjali.
