The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali is a major work on the
practice of yoga and meditation. Through these ancient aphorisms you
will learn how to control your mind and achieve inner peace and freedom.
Although these methods were taught over 2,000 years ago, they are as
alive and effective today as they have ever been. The 2008 edition has
been reset and now has an extensive index for reference.

Review
A rendering at once lively and profoundly instructive of a world
classic which ... remains as vividly topical, as realistically to the
point, as when it first saw the light. --- Aldous Huxley, author of
Brave New World --Letter from the Author... beautiful translation, and
our personal favorite by far. --Books for Inner Development:...The Soul
does not love; It is Love Itself. It Does not Exist; It is Existence
Itself. It does not Know; It is Knowledge Itself.--- Patanjali --Quoted
by George Harrison in his final album

By U. G. Desai
Format:Paperback
Swami Prabhavananda has done an excellent job of translating the
sutras into understandable sentences - something that surpasses 90% of
all other translators, and for this reason alone the book should be in
everyone's library. The commentary however reaches neither the depth of
of Satchidananda's "Sutras" nor the the burning insights of McAfee's
"Beyond the Siddhis". It is obscure and sometimes confusing. All in
all, however, an excellent book to add to the true seeker's bag of
tricks.

By Orva Schrock

over 1500 years ago the great indian sage, Patanjali, compiled these
yoga aphorisms as a help and guide to his fellow humans. in the cosmic
scheme of things 1500 years is the blink of an eye, and so it is these
wise sayings remain fresh and workable for the modern lover of spiritual
wisdom. the aphorisms stand on their own as originally given to the
world. succint, vital, the feel of eternal truth is in them. to read and
meditate on these sayings is to go another step closer to your own
realization that indeed, it is only ignorance which stops us from seeing
the reality of the Atman as One with eternal Brahman, the
"satchitananda" or existance, conciousness, bliss, the eternal ground of
all that is or ever could be. this beautiful classic is further
enhanced by the translation and commentaries of the dynamic duo, swami
prabhavananda and christopher isherwood. modern ideas about god and
truth come and go, this book has stood the test of time and remains ever
new because it's true. i highly recommend this little book to anyone
interested in the light that comes when Truth is seen.

Format:Paperback
The Yoga Sutras (thread of aphorisms) of Patanjali are one of the six
darshanas of the Hindu or Vedic schools. "How to Know God" is a
beautiful translation of those. The book is relatively short (pocket
sized with just over 200 pages) and very readable. It offers one of the
clearest explanations of the practice of yoga and meditation that I have
read. It is surprisingly practical. I value it almost as much as I do
"The Art and Science of Raja Yoga: Fourteen Steps to Higher Awareness:
Based on the Teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda" and Osho's "The Book of
Secrets: 112 Keys to the Mystery Within" as a practical guide to
specific meditation techniques. For those who have a Christian
background, the book references familiar Christian concepts, making the
book all the more readable for the typical Westerner. While one can read
the entire book in one sitting (and maybe this is a useful strategy for
its first reading), I prefer to digest it slowly, contemplating and
savoring each aphorism. I highly recommend this book for anyone who
wants to enter into a deeper level of spiritual consciousness.
