Historia del Yoga / History of Yoga: Textos, Filosofía Y Prácticas / Texts, Philosophy, and Practices [Spanish]

By Daniel Simpson

Gran parte de lo que se dice sobre el yoga es enga oso. Tomemos dos ejemplos: no tiene cinco mil a os de antig edad, como com nmente se afirma, ni significa exclusivamente «uni n . En el que es quiz el texto m s famoso, los Yoga Sutras de Pata jali, el objetivo es la separaci n, aislar la conciencia de todo lo dem s. Y la evidencia m s temprana de la pr ctica se remonta a unos dos mil quinientos a os. Los estudiosos hoy conocen mucho m s sobre la historia del yoga, pero su investigaci n puede ser dif cil de consultar y suele estar dirigida m s a especialistas que a lectores generales. Historia del yoga ofrece una visi n panor mica de la evoluci n del yoga desde sus or genes m s antiguos hasta el presente, de forma asequible a todo tipo de lectores. Se puede leer de manera cronol gica o utilizarse como gu a de referencia para la historia y la filosof a. Cada secci n breve aborda un elemento, citando textos tradicionales y poniendo sus ense anzas en contexto. La intenci n es mantener las cosas claras sin simplificar en exceso.

Much of what is said about yoga is misleading. Let us take two examples: it is not five thousand years old, as is commonly claimed, nor does it mean exclusively "union." In what is perhaps the most famous text, the Yoga Sutras of Pata jali, the goal is separation, to isolate consciousness from everything else. And the earliest evidence of the practice dates back about 2,500 years. Scholars today know much more about the history of yoga, but their research can be difficult to consult and is often aimed more at specialists than general readers. History of Yoga offers a panoramic view of the evolution of yoga from its earliest origins to the present, in a way that is accessible to all types of readers. It can be read chronologically or used as a reference guide for history and philosophy. Each short section addresses an element, quoting traditional texts and putting their teachings in context. The intention is to keep things clear without oversimplifying.
