This new edition of the classic text contains a new introduction by BKS Iyengar, as well as a foreword by Godfrey Devereux, author of Dynamic Yoga. Patanjali wrote this collection of yoga wisdom over 2,000 years ago. They are amongst the world’s most revered and ancient teachings and are the earliest, most holy yoga reference. The Sutras are short and to the point – each being only a line or two long. BKS Iyengar has translated each one, and provided his own insightful commentary and explanation for modern readers. The Sutras show the reader how we can transform ourselves through the practice of yoga, gradually developing the mind, body and emotions, so we can become spiritually evolved. The Sutras are also a wonderful introduction to the spiritual philosophy that is the foundation of yoga practise. The book is thoroughly cross-referenced, and indexed, resulting in an accessible and helpful book that is of immense value both to students of Indian philosophy and practitioners of yoga. Review: Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - BKS Iyengar has a great way of explaining things that are more challenging to grasp. This book was part of a class I am taking and the instructor recommended this version over all other versions. It has a lot of sanskrit and immediate definitions of the word so I do not have to continue to go back to the definitions, but there are definitions for the sanskrit terms as well. Win Win situation. The arrangement of the ideas are falling into line as there is more details in this book than others written on the Yoga Sutras. (I have only read 2 others) I enjoy this book. Review: Iyengar having been taught by Krishnamacharyia reveals his depth and insight as a great teacher and Yogi - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #75,358 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in Hindu Sutras #118 in Yoga (Books) #157 in Chakras (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,088 Reviews | ## Images ![Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: A Classic Guide to Spirituality and Physical Wellbeing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ahB++JsLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali *by M***E on July 30, 2012* BKS Iyengar has a great way of explaining things that are more challenging to grasp.

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.

As a Yoga teacher, I have at least half a dozen translations, probably more, and there are hundreds out there. But this work by BKS Iyengar is the clearest, most meaningful, most applicable to modern-day life of any that I study. His wisdom and ability to communicate in English, his second language, shine through his commentaries and point me in the direction of living my life on Planet Earth as a good human being, and finding peace of mind while doing so. A must-read for all serious students of the ancient practice of Yoga. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1693293-light-on-the-yoga-sutras-of-patanjali-a-classic-guide](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1693293-light-on-the-yoga-sutras-of-patanjali-a-classic-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
