Fundamentals of Yoga Philosophy
Recently I have enrolled into a Yoga Teacher Training program throught Live, Love, Teach Yoga Alliance group. As a part of the teacher training, students are required to read Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. These are basically written codes of conducts that yoginis are supposed to live by. Just like Torah, Bible and Koran are important to Jewish, Christian and Muslim philosophy; yoga sutras of Patanjali are fundamentals of religious life of yogis. It is very helpful manual for anyone interested in yogi philosophy and religion. It helps reader better uinderstand self and learn how to avoid suffering in this world.I have purchased this book from Amazon marketplace. My only disappointment is with the seller. Book shipped quickly but is as not in “as new” condition. It had portions of the book with notations, underlingnings anf highlights. So if you are truly interested in yoga philosophy and wish to have this book handy for time to come, my recommendation would be to purchase new book directly from Amazon so it has no markings in it and that covers are crease free (unlike mine). I will use this book for stydying anyway and future reference, however, my intent is to have another “clean copy” on hand so most likely I will be buying another copy of this book soon.

Knowledge of self
This might be the 5th time I read this book, and I could say this I’ve learned a lot about myself and really implemented what was written. If you’re really into learning about yourself, then this is the book!

Easy to Understand Guide for Yoga – both on and off the mat!
Simple, easy to understand guide to the four parts of Patanjali Yoga Sutras, which is one the most popular spiritual treatises from India. Great reference book for Yoga Teacher Training and for putting yoga to practice on and off the mat.

Many benefits of this 2000-year-old text
It was written by one of the greatest yogis of all time – the Sage Patanjali. He compiled together various yoga and meditation practices into a manual that is easy to understand.In total, it comprises around 196 short “Threads” (Sutras) or verses or aphorisms. These were originally written in the language of the ancient yogis, Sanskrit.These verses are divided into four chapters named Samadhi, Sadhana, Vibhuti, and Kaivalya. The author has diligently presented them in three ways. First is the verse in Sanskrit, written in ancient Indian characters. This is followed by the verse in English letters. This is followed by a word for word English translation. Lastly, the author elaborates on the verses.Following is a synopsis of each chapter.Samadhi. This refers to a state of pure bliss wherein one unites with the Supreme. Samadhi is the root to the Supreme. But the root to Samadhi is by quieting the mind. Hence, Patanjali begins with the definition of yoga: yogash-chitta-vrutti-nirodhaḥ which translates as “Yoga is the cessation of mental modifications.” (Mental modifications refers to thoughts – explicit and subconscious.)Sadhana. This word means “practice” or “training.” Patanjali describes Ashtanga Yoga which is a yoga practice and lifestyle that consists of eight facets or “limbs.” He outlines the various procedures and requisites.Vibhuti. This word means “supernormal power” (or psi). Patanjali describes the extraordinary powers that arise through the disciplined practice of yoga and meditation. These powers include clairvoyance, telekinesis, and omniscience. He explains that they are not the real fruits of yoga, but only a byproduct. The real fruit is what follows.Kaivalya. Literally translated, it means “oneness”, but it refers to spiritual liberation and blissful union with the Supreme.In short, here are the benefits of yoga and meditation: good health, supernormal powers, and blissful tranquility.Medical science has already proven the healthy rewards for one’s mind and body. However, do supernormal powers really arise? Where is the evidence? The topic is not covered in this book.But new studies of several ancient yoga texts show that ancient yogis appeared to have extraordinary knowledge of our world. These findings comprise powerful evidence that the claims of Patanjali are not nonsense. Those who practice yoga and meditation certainly do achieve some powers of psi.Full disclosure: I’m a peer-reviewed researcher on connections between ancient yoga and modern scientific discoveries, as well as between ancient yoga and the Bible. ~ Sanjay C Patel, SanjayCPatel.com

Yoga is Basic, so is life. But we Push too hard, and in order to understand we have to connect. This is Yoga of Patanjali, and Sri Swami Satchidananda helps us to realize that essence, and to stay superficial in our 5 perceptiin sense.
