Renewed passion for the yoga sutras study thanks to Swami Hariharananda Aranya's commentary (recommended by Ramaswami)
by Swami Hariharananda Aranya's
of the Kapil Math
Shared part of the introduction last week, here's the first sutra including the translation of Vyasa and Aranya's commentary. Longer preview at Amazon.
The actual sutra is in Sanskrit as is the Vyasa, although of course both translated, which will no doubt put many off but you probably have another copy lying around right and believe me it's worth it.
This next couple of pages are from an article in the appendix on meditating on the tatvas that have made me think that perhaps I could do with a guru after all, somebody who's walked the path as it were,. So tempted to run off to Kapil Math or stand outside Ramaswami's doorway every morning for a year or two.

Love to see such enthusiasm for the Sutras! I too am currently going through this phase of study.
In my recent brief study with Ramaswami, he noted that intent, consistent study of the Sutras [can be] more absorbing than a great mystery novel. I agree wholeheartedly.
An interesting work to cross-read with the first chapter of the Sutras is Gopi Krishna's "Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy in Man." His experiences whilst meditating are a fantastic account of what lies on the other side.
