About this listen

Swami Satchidananda's popular translation and commentary of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali now in unabridged audiobook form, with additional features and bonus tracks included in this 9-1/2 hour program.

  • Each sutra chanted in Sanskrit by Dr. M. A. Jayashree, renowned for her flawless pronunciation and classical articulation of the Sanskrit, which is replete with meaning and the yogic vibration
  • English translation of each sutra read by Indunil Peiris
  • Swami Satchidananda's illuminating commentary read by Rev. Sam Rudra Swartz
  • Bonus tracks: sutra-by-sutra chanting and translation only

The Yoga Sutras are a complete manual for the study and practice of Yoga. Through his translation and commentary on the classic text, Sri Swami Satchidananda shares his practical, down-to-earth advice on mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental, and emotional harmony in life through applying the ancient, yet timeless techniques of Raja Yoga.

Part one of the audiobook presents each sutra, its translation, and any commentary.

Part two presents the bonus tracks: each sutra with its translation, but without commentary, for those who would like to memorize and develop their skills in reciting the sutras.

Love listening to this and the way it’s recorded
It’s complex and not sure how much I could repeat, if anything, but a great way to start reading the sutras

Overall, listening to this audio book was interesting and educators. I found the option of being able to pause at any point and to type digital notes very convenient and used this option wuite often throughout the audio play.
However, I did find the narration quite monotone also, the music refrain played just before each sutra, became annoying.
I my ears would prefer either soft short instrumental otherwise, silence.

Music in between each Sutra became annoying.

It is a wise book and it was great to first listen to it to understand what it is about. After finishing, I think I am going to buy a paper copy to help with meditation

This was a clear exposition of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with a good commentary and use of metaphors to illustrate the meaning of the sutras.

I should have previewed this audio book before I bought it. The commentary is good but sometimes short which makes the singing too repetitive

The singing gets a bit repetitive

At around 3.00 minutes of the introduction the recording cut and some part of the text is cut out?!
