Hathayogapradipika is one of the most important Hathayoga Texts which has been recommended as one of the Text Book in almost all the yoga courses like PGDYSc., BA/BSc. (Yoga Science), MA/MSc.. (Yoga Science), BNYS etc. Many authors have attempted to elaborate the contents of Hathayogapradipika, however, they have not written them from the view point of students and their understanding. These texts simply provide translation of verses or some elaborated description which is not in coordination with the texts. The Sanskrt commentary Jyotsna on Hathayogapradipika by Brahmananda which was published in original Sanskrt script with its English and Hindi Translation, is considered as one of the most valuable publication published by Adyar Library, Chennai. However, it is also very difficult for the beginners and non- Sanskrt yoga students to understand it easily.

It is needless to say that among all the Hathayogic Texts, Hatha- yogapradipika holds a very special status among Yoga practitioners and yoga lovers.
