  3. "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" is a collection of 196 aphorisms (sutras) that form the basis of the philosophy of yoga. It covers topics such as the nature of consciousness, the practice of meditation, and the path to enlightenment.

  4. "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda is a spiritual classic that tells the story of the author's journey to enlightenment through yoga and meditation.
