2022 Reprint of the 1927 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. In this classic title the Science of Mind Control as presented in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is made clear and readable. Patanjali is the standard authority on Raja Yoga [the science of meditation] both in the East and in the West. The original Sanskrit Sutras were probably written about 500 B.C.
In The Light of the Soul these Sutras are presented for a Western Audience in the form of an English paraphrase, communicated telepathically by "The Tibetan", thus constituting, according to the author, a unique and significant approach to the problems involved in translation.
Mrs. Bailey has written a detailed and vivid commentary on each Sutra. Her treatment of this basic teaching is considered an important contribution to the Science of Meditation.
