Despite the extraordinary relevance of this work for research in the early history of yoga and religion in pre-modern South Asia, the\u202fDharmaputrik\u0101 Sa\u1e43hit\u0101\u202freceived virtually no scholarly attention until the publication of Christ\u00e8le Barois\u2019s seminal research article \u201cThe\u202fDharmaputrik\u0101 Sa\u1e43hit\u0101: Preliminary Notes on an Early Text on\u202fYoga\u201d in the\u202fJournal of Yoga Studies\u202fin 2020. In her almost book-length publication, Barois convincingly argues for an early date of this yoga compendium and a religious milieu of origin that was only marginally connected with \u015aaivism. Over the last couple of years, Christ\u00e8le and I have worked jointly on a critical edition of the\u202fDharmaputrik\u0101 Sa\u1e43hit\u0101\u202fbased on the twenty available manuscript sources and the printed edition by Yogin Naraharin\u0101tha (Kathmandu 1998). Our editorial work has considerably refined our knowledge of Dharmaputra\u2019s works, especially concerning its original language of composition, its transmission history, and the usage of Buddhist terminology in the first to chapter topical sections \u201con yogic means\u201d (s\u0101dhanaparakara\u1e47a) and \u201con postures\u201d (\u0101sanaparakara\u1e47a). In this presentation, I will introduce the yoga of the\u202fDharmaputrik\u0101 Sa\u1e43hit\u0101, its intended audiences and the methodology for reconstructing the text version of this fascinating work that resembles the original composition as closely as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: August 9th, Friday, 2024, 17:00 &#8211; 18:30 Location: Room 303, SNUAC (Bldg. 101) Presenter: Philipp Maas (Professor, Ludwig-Maximilian-University Munich, Institute for Indology and Tibetology) \u201cThe Compendium of Dharmaputra\u201d (Dharmaputrik\u0101 Sa\u1e43hit\u0101) is a metrical composition on yoga that was possibly composed as early as the sixth or seventh century CE by an author who referred to himself as \u201cthe son of Dharma\u015b\u012bla.\u201d This yoga work, which declares itself to be a summary of the yoga teaching first promulgated by Sanaka (one of the mythic sons of the god Brahm\u0101) for the instruction of novices, provides a systematic account of a method to obtain either supernatural powers, possession of a corpse to attain a new body after death, or spiritual liberation.
