The Yogasutra is one of the most important works of Indian culture. The present book is an attempt of interpretation of the Yogasutras based on some special criteria adopted by the authors: (1) To use the traditional commentaries as auxilliaries, not as guides, with prudence and freedom. (2) To interpret those Sutras, in which Patanjali analyzes real phenomena, as what they actually are:description of facts of experience. To such an end the authors have tried to clear idea of the phenomena to which Patanjali refers, and in this task they have found extremely useful the descriptions of their mystical experiences by Yogis of India and Christian mystics.
