How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali by Patañjali
A very difficult subject dealt with excellent commentaries by Swami Prabhananda & Isherwood. I am glad that I have read the book and do doubt will go back to this book again and again.
Originally published 1947
Originally filmed in 1971, these two lectures server as a companion to and commentary on Swami Prabhavananda's translation of the Yoga Sutra's How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali.
