## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book
*by  on Reviewed in India 29 March 2021*

Ancient Indian texts have so much depth and information. They can guide a person who wants to evolve into a better human being. To some extent Mughal and British rule made Indians to move away from this vast repository of knowledge. It is duty of all Indians to learn and read these texts and spread them. They have the advantage of knowing how to read the devanagari script. It will be good for humanity - if people of all countries can get to know and read these texts.This book- Yogasutras of Patanjali is an example of an ancient Indian text. It is an excellently written book with lucid explanations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book on Yogasutras
*by  on Reviewed in India 20 December 2020*

I have read a couple of books on Patanjali yoga sutra but didn't find what I was seeking exactly. Everyone had their own ways of describing the aprorisms that didn't satisfy my quest. After reading just a few chapters of this book, I can say that this book is the best book one can ever read on Yoga Sutras. It contains knowledge from the enlightenment being.One suggestion to the publisher, the font is too small to read for people with reading glasses. It strains the eyes too much and spoils the pleasure of reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light personal view
*by  on Reviewed in India 17 July 2026*

Light portrayal of the principles as felt by author.
