The Essence of Sāmkhya Kārikās: The Foundation of Yoga Philosophy

In everyday life we usually expect a lot from situations, people and the world around us. However, neither situations, people nor the world behave to our expectations. This is the most common cause for all problems in life.

The Essence of Sāṁkhya will help you tackle the above with a transformed perspective. You will understand that anything that you see, know or experience in the world exists because it has some prior cause through which it has arisen.
The principles of Sāṁkhya have been introduced as a practical application on the journey of life, enabling the avid seeker to live life fully. The intention and the attempt of the author has been to remain true to the original teachings and propose practical application in the context of modern life and living. Steering clear of preaching and prescribing the norms, this book presents the practical application of the profound philosophy in a new light which is easily grasped by the common man.

The renewed interpretation holds the ‘Householder Yoga’ and ‘Life School’ philosophy of The Yoga Institute in perspective along with imbibing the Sāṁkhya principles in practice.

The book also pays ode to Indian Yoga Guru Dr.JayadevaYogendra for his significant contribution to Yoga renaissance with the introduction of the bhavas as expounded in the Sāṁkhya, along with the practice of Patañjali's classical Yoga.

The practice of Sāṁkhya, according to Dr.Jayadeva, leads to an integrated personality who can rise above the ups and downs of householder’s life.
