Saradarshan Jog By Dineshchandra Bhattachaya Shastri

Saradarshan: Jog (ষড়দর্শন: যোগ) by Dineshchandra Bhattacharya Shastri is a significant contribution to the study of Indian philosophical traditions. As part of the Shad Darshan (ষড়দর্শন), Yoga Darshan stands alongside Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Sankhya, Mimamsa, and Vedanta as one of the six fundamental schools of Classical Indian Philosophy. This book delves into the philosophical foundation of Yoga, describing its concepts of Samadhi (সমাধি – spiritual absorption), Sadhanapada (সাধনপাদ – the path of practice), and Kaivalyapada (কৈবল্যপাদ – liberation).

Through detailed discussions, the text highlights how yoga is not just a physical discipline but a comprehensive philosophical system aimed at uniting the individual self with the supreme consciousness. The chapters such as সমাধি পাদ (Samadhi Pada – On Meditation and Concentration), সাধন পাদ (Sadhan Pada – On Discipline and Practice), and কৈবল্য পাদ (Kaivalya Pada – On Liberation) offer readers a clear understanding of the progression from practice to ultimate freedom.

This book is particularly valuable for students of Sanskrit and philosophy, as well as for seekers who want to explore yoga’s deeper meaning beyond its popular physical aspects. By blending scriptural authenticity with philosophical clarity, Saradarshan: Jog serves as an essential resource for anyone wishing to understand the profound wisdom of Yoga Darshan.
