Vibhuti Pada, the third chapter of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, is a treasure trove of wisdom and practice from the esoteric heart of the yogic and tantric traditions. For over 2,000 years, this text has been the definitive authority on unlocking extraordinary yogic powers hidden deep within our mind. Vibhuti Pada is revered as essential source wisdom on the dynamics of meditation and its role in unveiling the power of consciousness.

Awakening Power in the Yoga Sutra is the first practitioner-oriented commentary on Vibhuti Pada written for the modern seeker. Fully grounded in scholarly understanding, this commentary is brought to life through the direct experience of a modern-day master and is immeasurably enriched by the gift of experiential wisdom passed down to him through a living tradition-wisdom revealed in written form for the first time.
