How to Know God, the Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali
translated with a commentary by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood
Vedanta Press (not the mass-marketed paperback version)
New, never read, binding unbroken. Classic, to be added to any spiritual libray
"The Yoga Sutras (thread of aphorisms) of Patanjali are one of the six darshanas of the Hindu or Vedic schools. "How to Know God" is a beautiful translation of those. This book is relatively short (pocket sized with just over 200 pages) and very readable. It offers one of the clearest explanations of the practice of yoga and meditation, making it surprisingly practical. Some find it funny, accessible, practical, and engaging. This translation of Patanjali's aphorisms must be one of the best, if not the best, out there, and the Sanskrit terminology isn't obtrusive." (from reviews)
