This review is from: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: the Book of the Spiritual Man (Kindle Edition)

A group I am in is studying the book - The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Swami Satchidananda. For some reason I was not connecting with this translation. I looked for a different one on Amazon and saw this free version for the Kindle. This one is great. My subconscious can see the truth of what is being conveyed through this translator's words. When you want to read any of the great books - The Gita, Vedas, Tao... - remember to try different versions.

3.0 out of 5 stars poorly proofread - contains many OCR typos, February 15, 2012

The typos drive me nuts. As an occasional Distributed Proofreader myself, the low quality of this effort is irksome.

It's too bad we can't use kindle highlights to feed errors back to publishers.

3.0 out of 5 stars arcane but useful, August 9, 2007

This review is from: The Yoga Sutras Of Patanjali: The Book Of The Spiritual Man (Paperback)

I have read excerpts from this book before and thought it would be a useful tool to own. I am sure it is and I am glad to own it. However, to me the descriptions of the sutra are dated and there is too much spiritualist lingo.
