Description
Book Introduction
Beth Lim, the first meditation practitioner and original Vedic astrologer in Korea
In everyday language that anyone can easily understand
Clearly unraveling,
Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, the greatest yoga scripture of ancient India

The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, written by the legendary saint Patanjali of ancient India, is a core classical yoga scripture that holds the same authority as the bible for all yogis.
Although it is a small sutra with a total of 4 chapters and 195 verses, it contains the most astonishing level of profound and high spiritual knowledge, the wisdom and secrets of clear enlightenment, all systematically contained in short sutras of less than 200 verses, among all the spiritual and intellectual literature in the world.
However, because these sutras are written in a short and simple code format, much like Morse Code, they are also difficult scriptures that cannot be understood unless the practitioner directly embodies the language of lofty consciousness through long-term practice.

There are countless English translations and commentaries on the Patanjali Yoga Sutras available worldwide.
In Korea, the number of yoga practitioners has been rapidly increasing in recent years, and interest in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras has also been growing significantly. However, due to linguistic and cultural barriers, there has been no proper commentary available in Korea.
This is the first commentary on Patanjali in Korea, written by Yogini Ves Lim, a lifelong practitioner of meditation and study of Vedic literature, who has used her long experience of living and practicing abroad to explain Patanjali in a language of direct consciousness that anyone can easily understand. It retains the original flavor of Patanjali's classics.

Into the book
Patanjali grew into a great yoga master and achieved the great feat of integrating all the different yoga schools of the world into one.
That is the Patanjali Yoga Sutra.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali list several important methods that humans need to achieve ultimate happiness, or Yoga, and the most famous of these methods is Ashtanga Yoga, the “eightfold path of yoga.”
It is different from Ashtanga Yoga, which is the brand name of Pattabhi Jois, a modern Indian Hatha Yoga guru.
Each verse and each sutra in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are sacred eyes of wisdom, containing the divine wisdom for reaching enlightenment that has remained constant for over two thousand years.

Yoga knowledge has typically been transmitted through the Parampara, or Guru-shishya, tradition, whereby the teacher teaches directly to the disciple.
However, since the late 20th century, yoga has become increasingly popular in the West and has rapidly spread around the world, making it easy for anyone to access yoga today.
With the rise of the internet and YouTube, it is now easy to access various yoga teachings anywhere in the home without having to find a teacher or attend a yoga center to learn yoga, and the yoga lifestyle is becoming a daily trend.
However, as yoga has become popularized at a rapid pace, it has become rare and difficult to find people who practice or teach the true yoga that yoga originally possesses.
--- p.150


Truthfulness (satya) as Patanjali means does not mean being truthful, but rather the fruit or result (palla) that comes from an action (kriya).
So, if the consciousness is firmly established in truth (satya) (pratishthyam), then all the actions he performs are based on truth (ashrayatvam), and he can easily achieve his goals and achieve the desired results.
