हठयोग प्रदीपिका (योगी स्वात्माराम - ज्योत्स्ना टीका सहित सटीक)

PREFACE THE Haṭhayogapradīpikā of Svātmārāma was first published in 1893 with the commentary Jyotsnā of Brahmānanda and the English translation of Srinivasa Iyangar by Tookaram Tatya on behalf of the Bombay Theosophical Publishing Fund. This was one of the fruits of the many efforts made by members of the Theosophical Society in the last century to bring eastern literature and knowledge to the attention of the public in general and of the western world in particular. A second edition was published in 1933 in the Oriental Series (No. 15) of the Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Madras, India. Although a number of corrections had been carried out in preparing the Sanskrit text and commentary for the second edition, there were still various lacunae in the presentation. In preparing the present edition, the errors have been corrected as far as possible, by Prof. A. A. Rama- nathan and Pandit S. V. Subrahmanya Sastri, after consulting the manuscripts in the Adyar Library and Research Centre, especially the manuscript of the Jyotsnā commentary (No. PM 1431). They have also seen the text through the press.
