How to Know Your True Self, Dec 10 2001
By A Customer
The title "How to Know God" may throw some people off, especially those brought up in religions that teach, perhaps inadvertently, to personify god or view "Him" as an object outside of oneself to whom one may pray and ask favors. The "God" referred to in this concise book is not any objectified god or diety. It is none other than you, the one who is now reading this book review. Or more accurately we can say it is the aspect of each of us that is behind all the "stuff" that occludes our pure underlying nature, soul, or Atman. Reaching that pure self with the full, radiant energy of awareness is the fundamental goal of all yogas. Hence, this book's title--a detailed guide on how to know god. A compact and accurate guide to the advanced 'limbs' of Ashtanga/Raja/Kundalini yoga. I highly recommend this book for the serious yoga practitioner.

Intelligent Writing Makes for a Great Introduction to Yoga, Nov 3 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali (Paperback)
"How to Know God" was my first look into the world of mysticism and yoga. I would have never dreamed how it would change my life." Most books on religion have been a turn-off. I'm not into "being saved" and other emotion-filled events that won't happen to me.If religion can't be sensible and rational, I'm not interested.If that's how you feel, this may be the book for you. Highly recomended.

THE most practical guide to the ancient science of yoga., Aug 15 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali (Paperback)
How To Know God makes the ancient wisdom and inspiration of the yogi, Patanjali, come alive with with insight and practical applications for the modern world. More than just an interpretation of Patanjali's teachings on the subject of yoga, the book is a "how to" guide for spiritual seekers who want to practice the techniques and experience the mental and spiritual benefits of a science that has served mankind for thousands of years
