Ruminiating on The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Science and Yoga
Have always been the best friends.
Who woulda’ thunk it?

Just sayin’ - - - -

Any who study and make practical the teachings of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali understand there is no contradiction between being a practitioner of yoga and a scientist.  This continuity is one of the best kept secrets ever.  Except – it is not a secret.  You just may not realize it until you begin the serious practice yoga.

For any who would like to begin or continue a serious study and practice of yoga, Consider THE SCIENCE OF YOGA -The Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali in Sanskrit with transliteration in Roman, translation and commentary in English. Written by I. K. Taimni.

Of this translation of the Yoga Sutras by Taimni, Swami/Brother Achalananda (vice-president of the Self Realization Fellowship and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India) speaking during satsanga at the Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades in California on June 14, 2015 said:

“… the best one I have found.  I had thought there was one error in it – but I was wrong.  I can find no errors in this book.  He must have had some spiritual connection to have written this translation.  This is the one translation of the ‘Yoga Sutras’ that I recommend.”
