A 2018 Editorial Note:

The following document reproduces
the 1890 edition of “The Yoga-Sutra of
Patanjali”, published by Tookaram Tatya for
the Bombay Theosophical Publication Fund.
Helena Blavatsky had a deeply favourable view
of Mr. M.N. Dvivedi’s work, as one can see by the
articles she published on his books and essays. [1]

NOTE:

[1] See “Collected Writings”, H.P. Blavatsky, TPH, volume XIII, pages 67-68, 71-72, and 158. A favourable commentary on the present book will be found at “Lucifer” magazine, February 1891 edition, pp. 509-512. The word “Lucifer”, it must be said, is a pre-Christian, Latin term meaning “light-bringer”. The word refers to the planet Venus, the morning star, and has been grossly distorted by ill-advised theologians. Regarding Mr. Dvivedi’s writings, see other articles in “Lucifer” magazine, April 1891, pp. 99-104 and “Lucifer” magazine, May 1891, pp. 193-200. A commentary on his book “Raja Yoga” is published at “Lucifer”, January 1891, pp. 423-426. (CCA)
