Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryThis valuable book provides a complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. 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. |

book fail
Rating: 
unfortunately 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.
Thanks,
Tia

I am still reading the book and I am getting a lot out of it. I strongly recommend it for all spiritual people!
Very detailed, but awkward language
Rating:
In 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.
There is a great deal of joy and beauty to be found in the Sutras, unfortunately Sri Swami Satchidananda's translations do not share this. Instead we are left with language that is clunky and heavy handed.
Do buy this book to round out the many translations of the Sutras that are out there. There is a great deal of knowledge and love put into this book, however, do explore some of the other tranlations to provide a more rounded view of the Sutras as a whole.

A Must Read for All Interested in Yoga
Rating:
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2A6QPJP1R9VRL A must have for anyone interested in Yoga or meditation. It has been a guiding light for me and I re-read it on a regular basis. Every time I do, it provides new lessons and insights into yoga, life, peace, and service to the universe. Satchidanada provides wonderfully simple examples, stories, and explanations to illustrate the concepts. I frequently re-tell his stories to people and it the clearest way to relate yoga philosophy.
