I read one or two sutras before each yoga practice
His attempt sicuro explain the overall concept of “never-ending consciousness” that is a key part of the spirituality of Yoga felt per bit incomplete, or at the very least, confusing. His use of the word God onesto symbolize said consciousness made it hard onesto distinguish between the Christian concept of God and the yogic concept of consciousness/God/Light . etc.
Swami summarizes and skips over certain sutras entirely within Books 3 & 4. Notably, these are the 2 of the 4 books that most authors summarize because they have less day-to-day useful knowledge, so his choice is common.
Personally, I am very happy that I took the time esatto read this interpretation of the Yoga Sutras and I’d widely recommend it to others, especially those delving into the world of teaching Yoga. That being said, this isn’t per be-all end-all translation (mai book is), so I implore you esatto read other Yoga Sutras commentaries as well. . more
After finally finishing it, I know I need sicuro go back onesto it and study the sutras with some intensity. There is much wisdom bestowed mediante these pages, and there were many moments while reading, I gained clarity on the way I interact and respond with my environment.
Highly recommended for any devoted yoga practitioner, but also for those who are interested mediante asian philosophy.

Although yoga is not defined by one religion, the influences of Hinduism and Buddhism are apparent. I liked how Satchidananda used present day examples to explain the sutras and did not hesitate onesto incorporate science. . more
