Product Description

Some of yoga’s most important writings, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras have remained relevant for 2,300 years because of their wisdom and inspiration. In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali prescribes adherence to eight "limbs" or steps to quiet the mind and achieve the sacred state of kaivalya. Spread throughout are Patanjali’s 196 aphorisms, found in each of the book's four chapters: “Samadhi Pada” (blissful state where the yogi is absorbed into the One), “Sadhana Pada” (practice or discipline), “Vibhuti Pada” (power or manifestation), and “Kaivalya Pada” (liberation). In The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, noted scholar and longtime practitioner Ravi Ravindra offers a fresh, direct translation of Patanjali’s text. Ravindra’s enriching, extensive commentary and his spiritual exercises make this book an integral part of daily practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here Now is a Review of Ravindra's Book on the Yoga Sutras, March 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: A New Translation and Guide by Ravi Ravindra (Hardcover)
Having thoroughly enjoyed Ravindra's book on the Gospel of John, I was really looking forward to reading his book on the Yoga Sutras. It is wonderful! Many thanks from a Hindu who was not fortunate enough to be born in India.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended !!, May 21, 2009
By Rahul Seth (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: A New Translation and Guide by Ravi Ravindra (Hardcover)
I am currently reading this book and recommended it very highly. Ravi Ravindra brings together his unique background - an academic well versed in religion as well as physics - to offer clear insights into the wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga. After long I have come across such a remarkable book that addresses the spiritual and profound aspects of Yoga in such clear terms.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is very deep, January 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: A New Translation and Guide by Ravi Ravindra (Hardcover)
This book is very interesting and the philosophy holds through the ages but unless you have some background in yoga, where I have my experience, this would be Greek.
I wouldn't recommend this for the adverage reader.
