Taimni are a fantastic reference to a true and very detailed translation of ...
Very concise translation of the Yoga Sutras that I have come across. I first read this book in the late '70's and still referenced it to this day. I have been a student of Self Realization Fellowship since 1979. In the year 2008 I became a Kriyaban ( initiated in the Kriya Yoga techniques as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda ). Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras by I.K. Taimni are a fantastic reference to a true and very detailed translation of this important work. Highly recommended for anyone that is interested in the Spirit, Mind, Sense relationship. Purusha and Prakriti are explained in much detail as to why the former would become involved with the latter, as well as the concept of knower, known, and process of knowing. This should be in your library if you are a practitioner of the Science of Raja Yoga, or for that matter any form of Yoga. Enjoy ........... Namaste

This book is a culmination of profound insight and intimate knowledge of an experienced yogi who has an advantage in that he has experience of the subtle realms that he reviews. I gained great insight into deep questions of the ultimate nature of Reality from reading this book and highly recommend it.

Perhaps the best interpretations of Patanaji's yoga science I have come across. This person has deep understanding, and from what I can tell, is a serious practitioner of yoga and meditation.

The perspective of the author comes from his theosophical experience. He was a scientist and pursued Indian 'spirituality'. His interpretation of the Yoga Sutras is far better than those of the gurus and swamys that litter the Inidan Yoga Scene.
