Vijnanabhairava is a very ancient book in Yoga. It closely follows the basic principles of Saivagama. It contains 112 types of Yoga. There is hardly any other book on yoga which has described so many ways of approach to Central Reality that is present in each man as his essential Self. It is both extensive, and intensive in the treatment of the subject of yoga.
An English translation of this excellent work is being provided for the first time. The text that has been adopted is mainly the one that is published in the Kashmir Series of texts and studies. Each verse of the Sanskrit text has been printed in both Devanagari and Roman Script. This is followed by an English translation and a number of expository notes which will go a long way in excluding the main idea of the verse.
