Editorial Reviews

Review

"Inside the Yoga Sutras invites us to take delight in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, weaving truths with kind, humorous and authoritative writing". Nancy Miller, Ascent Magazine.

From the Back Cover

"Patanjali was really with him when he wrote this book." Sri Swami Satchidananda

"Reverend Jaganath's commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is without compromise or condescension. Each word is harvested in the fields of insight as well as inspiration. This book is a 'must-have' reference for all scholars of Yoga." Sharon Gannon, co-author, Jivamukti Yoga - Practices for Liberating Body and Soul.

"Applying the wisdom contained between these covers can make all the difference between a life of pain and one of joy. reverend Jaganath takes lofty principles and explains them in a clear, modern language with practical examples we can understand. You will feel the author's sincerity and dedication to insights that transcend the ages but can make a difference now." Alan Cohen, author of The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind-blown.
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017

This book is easy to understand and it doesn't water down the teaching, majorly! It's perfect for student in teacher training or seasoned teachers who would like a way to bring the sutra's into their class! Concepts that I've striggled to explain to students or give dharma talks about make more sense now, in a less metaphysical way and a more realistic way. This book is a simple, inspiring, and engaging read. The author did an excellent job bringing Sri Swami Satchiananda's classic commentary back to life and applible in the modern day! It gave me so many ideas for themes! I highly enjoyed this and will be rereading! A lot.

Required Reading for My Yoga Instructor Class so I wasn’t particularly excited about it when I ordered it.
It turns out to be the Bible of Yoga (basically)! My Sutras will Stay In Line with This Wonderful Reference Material. Also Much like My Bible, You can Go Back, as my Devotion to Yoga grows- rereading even the same material brings New Enlightenment.

5.0 out of 5 stars The discussions of each sutra are really intelligent and thoughtful
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018

Huge fan of this book. The discussions of each sutra are really intelligent and thoughtful. My only critique is that the word for word translations are in an appendix at the back. An odd decision. I'd prefer they be presented with each sutra.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for further study
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015
Verified Purchase
I required this book for a 200 hour yoga teacher training; I teach yoga philosophy. What I found, is that though the book is a wealth of information and offers deep insight on the sutras, it is not necessarily a book for first time readers of the sutras. My students "got through" it but were left perplexed often. I actually would recommend this book more for a 300 hour training as further study into the depths of the sutras. The book as a whole, however, is very well done. The commentary is fitting and understandable. For those who have read the sutras and want a deeper immersion - this book is for you. I believe newcomers to the writings of Patanjali would be better suited with a different version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Modern Day teacher of great prominance
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2013
Verified Purchase
Reverend Carrera Studied with Swami Satchidananda for many years and the wisdom of Satchidananda who guided him in writing this book shines through. However, for those new to the scriptures of Patanjali (one of the oldest Indian philosophers) this book is great since makes a much simpler read because it is filled with modern day examples that help explain the teachings so that the does not get confused and helps the novice reader comprehend the teachings more easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for studying the sutras
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2015
Verified Purchase
What a wonderful book. I just finished it and I'm starting it again from the beginning. I'm learning so much about myself and the world. It's good that it's written in very layman's terms using everyday examples to explain the more abstract concepts. The tone of the author isn't condescending.
I like how this book has a lot of cross referencing. Under each sutra it has links to other related sutras. There is a sanskirt glossary which is really useful for a newbie like me and a subject-by-sutra index (meaning I can straight away read all the sutras related to, for example, nonattachment). There is also a study guide grouping sutras together to help your study, which I'll begin soon.
All in all a wonderful book!
