In this 1944 preface from Mayavati, the author introduces their work as a collection of "unvarnished thoughts" rather than a formal philosophical treatise. Acknowledging the profound contributions of spiritual giants like Swami Vivekananda, the writer humbly admits that this book offers nothing revolutionary or original.

The primary objective of this book is to present the science of Yoga through a simple, rational, and "prosaic" lens. The book aims to provide a grounded perspective for fellow seekers.Discuss Yoga in accessible, common-sense terms. Debunk prevalent misconceptions and "nonsense" surrounding the practice.

Ultimately, it serves as an invitation to "co-aspirants" to explore Yoga stripped of its unnecessarily dense or mystical baggage.
