This new deluxe printing of these timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras (thought-threads), at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. In this classic context, Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony. Average Rating: 4.5 Product ReviewsRating:  Lovely, lovely translationAdored this book. Satchidananda gives a beautiful translation and offers a very accessible interpretation of the Sutras. Understand that this is a book of cannon and as such is subject to the attitudes of its interpreters - but Satchidananda's is one of inclusiveness and reverence. He comes from a long tradition of study but does not overwhelm the reader with information. Excellent translation, easy read, very informative & thought provoking - definitely worthwhile. Rating:  excellent explanation of the SutrasI don't have anything very eloquent to say except that I love this book, and I love Satchidananda. Reading his words, you feel like he's your old friend, or maybe your granddad imparting a few words of wisdom on you. I had been intimidated about reading the Yoga Sutras, but his explanations helped me understand and really brought them to life for me. I highly recommend this book and any of Satchidananda's writings. Rating:  book failunfortunately the book I ordered (used) fell apart after two days I had it, a bit disappointing. I ordered used not because of the price difference (hardly any), but because I don't like to consume. Maybe you should sell the used books a bit cheaper and not class them as "in very good condition", when they are not.
Rating: Book ReviewI am still reading the book and I am getting a lot out of it. I strongly recommend it for all spiritual people! Rating:  Very detailed, but awkward languageIn trying to present a very scholarly commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali the author goes into great detail to break down each sutra. The depth of knowledge is evident, however, the language strays into the pendantic realm and becomes rather cumbersome.
