The book “The Yoga System of Patanjali”, translated and annotated by James Haughton Woods, was first published by Harvard University Press in 1914 as part of the Harvard Oriental Series. This work is an important English translation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient Hindu text outlining the philosophy and practice of yoga. The book also includes key commentaries, such as the Yoga-bhashya by Vyasa and the Tattva-vaisharadi by Vachaspati Mishra, providing deep insights into the classical Hindu doctrine of mental concentration and spiritual practice.

James Haughton Woods, a noted scholar of Greek and Indic philosophy, dedicated much of his career to the study of Indian religious systems. His work on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras helped to bring greater understanding of these ancient teachings to the Western academic world.
