Swami Satchidananda is inspirational.I realised that I was doing robotic puja & trying to do "business deals" with God.This is an important book to understand yourself & your role in society
Excellent! - By: Mrs. Z. L. Reynolds, 30 Mar 2008 Sri Swami Satchidananda explains the Sutras in a clear & often entertaining way, & in an everyday context which is relevant to the modern world. In many ways some of the explorations are aimed at those new to the spiritual path, or those who have been practicing Asanas for a while & are looking to deepen their practice in a spiritual way. Those who have studied the Sutras before, or who have been following the Yogic path for a time may find some of the explanations superfluous, but there are still many valuable insights & any reader is sure to find this book a refreshing & entertaining read, & enjoy Sri Swami Satchidananda's endearing style- you can almost hear his voice when reading this. When buying the Yoga Sutras for my Dad, I chose this one as I knew he would enjoy the almost musical quality it has.
excellent book - By: M Thomas, 29 Mar 2005 I have bought a few books on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, this book is by far the best. It is easy to understand & to relate the Sutras to everyday life. It is a book you will refer to again & again.
Very clear and uplifting explanations of the Sutras. - By: , 30 Jun 1999 Swami Satchidanandaji explains clearly the Sutras by giving practical tips on how to apply them in our own life. The book is full of wisdom & is not meant to read & keep aside, but read & reflect & that too repeatedly. Verily, a treasure for the spiritual aspirants. Personallly, studying few stanzas each day & reflecting on them, provides immense peace & upliftment. The original Sanskrit text with meanings also provides an additional benefit for seekers to commit the sutras to memory.
