Wonderful!! I've been studying the sutras for three years now and Reverend Jaganath's book was able to take me to an even deeper level in grasping Patanjali's heartfelt intentions behind his words...I felt as if I was reading the sutras for the first time with a great big flash light shining on the depths and meanings of this beautiful guide which has served many in understanding and navigating a way through the gift we call life.

Carrera's sourcebook is helpful in this daunting task of unpacking the sutras of Patanjali. He has explained so nicely his well-organized work which is clearly influenced by his guru, Swami Satchitanada. His clarity and humor are real gems in making this text accessible for the modern day yogi (yogini). It is highly readable and can be used as a resource and reviewed countless times. I find something new each time I read it!

This book sits on my kitchen table and I read a little bit of it each day to remind me of the insightful teachings of the Yoga Sutras. Rev. Jaganath Carrera writes helpful stories to go explain the Sutras so that even a newcomer to Yoga can understand. This book has helped me bring yoga from an exercise to a way of life. Thank you Rev. Jaganath!

Very comprehensive and understandable guide to help with
Pantanjali's complex sutra....I'd recommend for anyone
struggling to better understand sutras. I am using it in
a study group and is by far the best guide in the group!

The book was kind of hard to get through initially, but the 2nd time through it was great. This is not fluff reading, or a let's-make-everybody-feel-good book. It's very informative and presents a whole new way for me to look at things.

This reflective book is my peace in the morning. I start each day reading and re-reading one or two sutras. Rev. Jaganath has provided a text that directly relates to our modern day lives. This book has helped me pace my life and to encourage a mindful approach. Thank you for this lasting translation.

This book is an absolute "must-have" for anyone interested in Raja Yoga. The writing is simple and straight-forward making a sometimes difficult subject very accessible and endearing.
I read it with a pen handy, taking notes infused with inspiration and revisiting the gems uncovered over and over again. Rev. Jaganath makes this subject even more inviting with the inclusion of reference sections in the back, like "Sutras-By-Subject" and a "Glossary of Sanskrit Terms".
"Inside the Yoga Sutras" is filled with wisdom and love, truly touching the heart on the deepest level.

Some great information and things to think about - but some of the translations are stilted in an odd way. There is very little actual sanskrit but a great glossary of other terms.

Item arrived in perfect condition and quickly. Item was nicely packaged and I was very pleased with the seller and item. Thanks!

This book is a straight forward, easy to follow, genius commentary on the Sutras. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to further their knowledge on the Sutras. Amazing!!!
