Yogasūtra (or The aphorisms of yoga) of Patanjali is the founding text of one of the six canonical schools of Indian philosophy and, therefore, the fundamental work to understand this ancient way of thinking that today has resulted in a physical-spiritual discipline practiced all over the world. It is, therefore, a universal text that goes beyond the cultural and religious budgets of India and offers a comprehensive analysis of the mind and its relationship with the body. The aphorisms of yoga is a short, philosophical and inspiring work, composed of 196 aphorisms that describe the path of consciousness to the final goal of liberation, a classic that we are now fortunate to receive translated and commented directly from Sanskrit. It is, therefore, an incorporation of the first order in the philosophical and literary tradition in the Spanish language.
