This book provides a concise exposition of the philosophical and religious doctrines found in Patanjali's Yoga-sutra and its commentaries. While Patanjali's exact date remains uncertain, his work on Yoga, defined as the final annihilation of mental states, is the earliest systematic compilation on the subject. The volume aims to elucidate the intellectual foundation of Yoga, encompassing philosophical, psychological, cosmological, ethical, and religious doctrines. It distinguishes Rajayoga from other types like Hathayoga and Mantrayoga, focusing solely on theoretical aspects rather than mystical practices or miracles. Affinities between Samkhya and Yoga are explored, offering readers essential insights into the Yoga system of thought.

Surendranath Dasgupta (1887–1952) was an Indian scholar renowned for his expertise in Sanskrit and Indian philosophy. Born in Bengal, he excelled in Sanskrit at Calcutta's Ripon College before obtaining master's degrees in Sanskrit and Western philosophy. Dasgupta earned acclaim for his contributions to the History of Indian Philosophy, a groundbreaking five-volume series. His career included teaching positions, prestigious lectures, and international recognition. Despite health issues, Dasgupta remained dedicated to his scholarly pursuits until his death in 1952.
