| By Swami Sarveshwarananda Giri and Dr. Acharya Girish Jha
A practical guide to yoga's quintessential scripture, in the form of an easy to use and attractive diary.
Each of the 195 sutras is presented in three versions: in the devanagari script—for those who appreciate the majesty of the Sanskrit script; in a transliterated (roman) script—for those who like to pronounce the verses but do not read Sanskrit; and the translation combined with a word-by-word breakdown—to integrate chanting with meaning and facilitate memorization.
Here is an example for the first sutra:
Another original aspect of the diary is the Divine Prescription section. Drawing on their yogic practice and holistic medical expertise, the authors have identified particular sutras to be meditated upon for the correction of various psychological and/or physical imbalances. Other useful features are a Guide to Sanskrit Pronunciation, Memorization Tips (drawn from both the Vedic tradition and the Accelerated Learning scientific research), a Metaphorical Perspective on the Life and Works of Sage Patańjali, an Exposition of Yoga Philosophy, a Road Map to the Yoga Sutras, a section on Applied Yoga, advice on how to follow a Daily Spiritual Routine, and a Glossary of Yogic Terms.
Much more than a diary, this book will quickly become a treasured companion to inspire you and guide you along the joyful path to Self-realization.
