Product Description

Composed by the famous Indian sage sometime between the first and third centuries CE, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali sets forth the practical and philosophical foundations of Raja Yoga. These aphorisms clearly mark out the path to Self-Realization, and their influence has been profound throughout the millennia. They are still regularly used today by those interested in the Yogic approach to self-knowledge and are open to anyone of any religion. The Sutras are presented here in a free form translation, with an insightful running commentary that makes them easily understandable to the modern reader and yoga practitioner.

Customer Reviews

My favorite interpretation of the sutras.5
This interpretation of the sutras is one that touches me deeply. I can't imagine ever being done with this book. I get new insights from it every time I pick it one. It is a nice size to carry around, but it generally stays on my night stand. It would make a nice gift for any yogi.

A great Master's commentaries on Yoga scripture5
Patanjali's yoga sutras are a basic study of yoga science. They are simple and straight forward and carry depths of knowledge at the same time. Swami Vivekananda's commentaries on the sutras are majestic. They are alive and ever present. I can't believe that Swamisji wrote it so long ago. In one word, his commentaries are 'magnificent'! I highly recommend this book.

Reprint of Raja Yoga3
This book is an English import of the book Raja Yoga by Swami Vivekananda. They just re-titled the book.

You can buy that title from Amazon for less than the English edition, and at the same time by your purchase give support to the Vedanta movement that Swami Vivekananda started.
