Book Description

Publication Date: 2005

This 4 CD set audio book is a recording of Swami Vivekananda's commentary on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras read by Bidyut K Bose. ********************************************************************************************* Swami Vivekananda - A spiritual genius of commanding insight, intellect, and power, Swami Vivekananda crammed immense labor and achievement into his short life, from 1863 to 1902. A disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, widely regarded as one of India's greatest spiritual teachers, Vivekananda renounced the world and crisscrossed India as a wandering monk, then came to Chicago's Parliament of Religions in 1893 to represent Hinduism. He taught Vedanta widely in India, America and Europe, inspiring thousands of students with the twin ideals of self-realization and selfless service. "It was inspiring to see the Swami as he dictated to me the contents of the work. In delivering his commentaries on the sutras or aphorisms, he would leave me waiting as he entered deep states of meditation or self-contemplation to emerge from there with some luminous interpretation. I had always to keep the pen dipped in ink. He might be absorbed for long periods of time and then suddenly his silence would be broken by some eager expression or some long, deliberate teaching." Sarah Ellen Waldo, 1895 ************************************************************************************************** Bidyut K. Bose, the narrator, is a long-time student of Indian Philosophy and world religions. Having earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from U.C. Berkeley, his present research interests include the science of flexibility and the mechanisms of aging, and the scientific application of Raja Yoga for common chronic conditions. Inspired by Swami Vivekananda, he founded Niroga TM Institute, a non-profit dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality Yoga instruction and Yoga therapy to underserved individuals and families.

This review is from: Science of Meditation - Swami Vivekananda's Commentary on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras read by Bidyut K. Bose (Audio CD)

This is one of the most authentic book and analysis of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Modern Yoga has completely forgotton about the founder Patanjali Rishi who almmost three thousand years ago compiled knowledge of Yoga in four chapters. Swami Vivekanand in last century interpreted Patanjali's discourses in the most authentic and lucid language. This audio book has unravelled a treasure that is lying burried unnoticed.
