Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

I actually found a copy at a used book store a couple days after recieving this. I bought it too and gave it as a gift to another seeker.

Product is good (some smudge of script, but OK).Amazon shipping is a problem and needs to be remedied. On the day of scheduled delivery, the truck came and parked just past residence. Then drove away. The package was delivered next day late at night (in our view unethical).We have another affiliate Amazon account. The package was delivered a day late and half ripped and tampered!This has to stop and the driver pulled in and counseled on duty, quality and ethics or reassigned.

it's a great book. I was thinking this book would be one of Iyengar's books that is not easy to read, but bought it anyway. To my surprise, this is very informative, easy to read and because of the tables they use in this book, easy to understand and remember. From the 3 Yoga sutras books I have, this one is the best.

Love it

I have read that this text isn't necessarily legitimate - not just Iyengar's version but any of them. Still, his commentary is the best that I've read and he is the closest of any teacher with whom I'm familiar to having lived the principles therein with integrity.

BKS Iyengar has left us a pearl of great price here.

Great book, highly recommend for anyone striving to live the yogic life

Anyone interested in Yoga will need to eventually study and read the " Yoga Sutras" by Patanjali. Iyengar having been taught by Krishnamacharyia reveals his depth and insight as a great teacher and Yogi.In light of his recent passing, we are very fortunate to have this publication available to us.With this book Iyengar continues to convey the depth, significance and importance of the Yoga Sutras.With recent insights and discoveries we now know that it is also very important to study Sanskrit, chant it and be exposed to the sound of the language, as the Yoga Sutras were designed with very specific features through the effect of the language and sound as well.

This review is of the Kindle version that I downloaded in 2022. I experienced none of the technical problems mentioned in other reviews.As far as the reading experience goes, this is a very clever treatment of a work that has many difficult dimensions. So an academic philosopher would enjoy reading this for intellectual enjoyment. But a student of meditation will be able to connect with the energy in what ever way is appropriate for them.

I would take this book to a desert island. The knowledge to ponder over for a lifetime

This Book has the complete information which anyone wishes to seek on Yoga.While the Patanjali Yoga Sutras have been interpreted in several ways by different authors, but Late Shri Iyengar's interpretation and explanation is apt and easy to follow/understand. I have learnt immensely from this book

El libro llegó en perfectas condiciones tal cómo las imágenes, lo compré a muy buen precio, mejor qué en cualquier tienda.

O livro está perfeito no formato e-book. Super indico para aqueles que estudem o universo do Yoga, em particular para aqueles que seguem alguma escola de Hatha Yoga.
