Awakening Power in the Yoga Sutra
by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait PhD
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.
“Vibhuti Pada is a textbook for understanding the most mysterious of all forces–the human mind. It delineates the principles and practices we need to enter the deeper dimension of our mind and awaken the extraordinary powers (siddhis) lying dormant there. Put simply, acquiring siddhis means recognizing and reclaiming our innate capacities, using them purposefully, and offering them back to the One who gave them to us. This is the message of Vibhuti Pada–Patanjali’s gift to all seekers."

Lecturing and teaching worldwide for nearly 40 years, he is the author of 18 books, including his latest, Sri Sukta: The Tantra of Inner Prosperity, as well as groundbreaking commentaries on the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali—The Secret of the Yoga Sutra: Samadhi Pada and The Practice of the Yoga Sutra: Sadhana Pada. He is a regular contributor to the Himalayan Institute’s online Wisdom Library, the driving force of the Institute’s global humanitarian projects, and the visionary behind the Institute’s consecrated Sri Vidya Shrine in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.
Pandit Tigunait holds two doctorates: one in Sanskrit from the University of Allahabad in India, and another in Oriental studies from the University of Pennsylvania. Family tradition gave Pandit Tigunait access to a vast range of spiritual wisdom preserved in both the written and oral traditions. Before meeting his master, Pandit Tigunait studied Sanskrit, the language of the ancient scriptures of India, as well as the languages of the Buddhist, Jaina, and Zoroastrian traditions. In 1976, Swami Rama ordained Pandit Tigunait into the 5,000-year-old lineage of the Himalayan Masters.
