is the language of the Vedas and yoga texts. This section of the web-site has some tools and links for those who want to study or use sanskrit.- Yoga is the restriction of the fluctuations of consciousness (Feuerstein)
- Yoga is the ability to direct and focus mental activity (Bouanchaud)
- Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence (Shearer)
When you consider that the sanskrit phrase being translated here has only four words, you can see that the scope for variation on more complicated passages becomes quite significant.
Learning enough sanskrit to do your own translations is a major undertaking, but even a moderate knowledge of the language can help you to take an informed view on the available translations and to appreciate some of the subleties of sanskrit that can’t be translated into english.
