PUBLISHER'S NOTE
It is with great pleasure that we present to our readers the Indian Edition of 'How to know God' by Swami Prabhavananda.
This English translation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras was originally published by the Vedanta Society, Southern California for the benefit of Western readers who do not know Sanskrit and yet are interested in Indian psychology which plumbs the depths of the human mind. Swami Prabhavananda who has to his credit such lucid expositions as 'Srimad Bhagavad Gita, the wisdom of God', 'Narada's way of Divine Love' and the 'Sermon on the Mount according to Vedanta' has taken special pains in this book to present the philosophy and practice of Yoga in a non-technical, up-to-date phraseology that can be understood and enjoyed by all enquiring minds. For the benefit of our Indian readers we have added also the text of Patanjali's Sutras in Devanagari.
We are sure that they will find the book eminently helpful in their spiritual practice. We are thankful to Swami Prabhavanandaji and the Vedanta Society, Southern California for kind permission to bring out this Indian edition.
