Each volume provides the Sanskrit text, an English transliteration, a word-for-word translation of each sootra, and a one or two sentence concise meaning. The main content of the work is the extensive commentary on each

. Brijendra's translation and commentary give the reader a fresh, modern insight and applicable understanding of this ancient, yogic work. Brijendra says: "Patanjali's
Yog Darshan,
or Vision of Oneness, (also known as The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali) is the ancient handbook for yogis. It offers both a lifestyle and a philosophy that enable human beings to live in the freedom that results from knowing one's true nature."
