Patanjala Yoga Sutras by Dr Karambelkar

From the Preface:

It was a long standing demand from everyone associated with Kaivalyadhama to prepare a commentary on Patanjala Yoga Sutra (P.Y.S.) on scientific lines and understanding Dr. P.V. Karambelkar (Ph.D. in Bio Chemistry) whom we livingly call 'Kaka', the then joint Director of Research and a very close associate of the founder Director of Kaivalyadhama Swami Kuvalyanandaji, took the task of writing a commentary on P.Y.S.. Kaka has a very long experience of teaching Yoga Sutras in our G.S. College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis. His interpretations of Sutras emerge not only from his Scientific researches in the field of Yoga but also from his personal experiences of Yoga Sadhana, both immensely contributing towards the worth of the work which it has presently assumed. Initially the whole commentary was serialized and published in Yoga Mimamsa ( a Quarterly Research Journal) Published by Kaivalyadhama, Lonavla. Simultaneously, around one thousand extra copies of each serial were printed, which were later combined and given the shape of a book. The book was received vehemently even without any introduction or index. Due to the increasing demand on this commentary, the book soon became unavailable for many readers, and hence the need for the publication of its second edition was greatly felt. Fortunately for all the Yoga lovers, Kaka, the commentator himself, went the wholesale book again and changes/ corrections wherever necessary were made by him for the present edition.

A few words about the originality of the present commentary will be opportune. Kaka has at his credit several original interpretations on many central issues of Patanjala Yoga Sutras, which have featured in his introduction too. The Interpretations, such as, of Samapatti, its relation with Samadhi, of the number of Samadhis advocated by Traditional as well as Modern commentators differ in important respect, as rightly claimed by Kaka. I hope that the Yoga lovers will be enriched in their understanding of P.Y.S. by these interpretations and they themselves will appreciate the scientific approach of Yoga Sutra of Patanjali.

The responsibility of giving this book a final shape- prior to publication - was given to our Philosophico-Literary Research Department and the staff members of the Department painstakingly took care of every aspect of its presentation along with adding an exhaustive Index for the facilitation of the readers. The Institute appreciates the effort made by them.
