Text Library

Yoga Movement is building a library of documents and e-books for you to read and download.

The first entry in this library is a Web-based version of The Dhammapada, one of the canonical books of the Buddhists. This short book is a collection of verses, or aphorisms, designed to inspire and guide its readers.

The Bhagavad Gita is a beloved scripture of India. It might be called the Hindu's Holy Testament. Here we present a translation of this ancient Sanskrit poem made be Edwin Arnold in 1900. This translation is presented without commentary. If you are interested in a more recent translation with extended commentary, we recommend The Bhagavad Gita: God Talks With Arjuna by Paramahansa Yogananda, a two volume set.

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are often described as the "Heart of Yoga." They are ancient aphorisms that outline ways to break habits or attachments and to attain inner liberation. Here we present The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Book of the Spiritual Man as interpreted by Charles Johnston.
