"Discourses on Yog" by Prashant S. Iyengar delves into the ancient science and philosophy of Yoga, originating from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj,' meaning union. This collection of talks explores Yoga not merely as a physical practice but as a comprehensive path for uniting mind, body, and spirit, applicable to all individuals seeking personal and spiritual growth.

The book presents Yoga as a multifaceted discipline encompassing science, philosophy, and culture. Tailored for students, scholars, and practitioners (sadhakas) of Yoga, these discourses illuminate how Yogic principles contribute to human upliftment. Iyengar meticulously explains core spiritual concepts, including the twenty-four principles (tattvas) of Prakriti as they manifest in the human body, the three types of body (gross, subtle, causal), the five koshas (sheaths), and the six plexi (chakras). This text offers a clear exposition of fundamental Yogic knowledge, revealing the profound spiritual truths embedded within the human experience.
