## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An ideal basic translation, without excessive adornment
*by F***. on February 1, 2012*

I found all of the other reviews of this book to be very helpful, so am writing this review to emphasize that this book consists of a very basic translation of the original work which I found, as a beginning student, quite accessible (as opposed to being esoteric and full of weird terms).I second another reviewer's comment that the writer's translation style is "straightforward, clear and elegant".I will add, in this review, a comment about where this book fits into the overall study of yoga. This book is one of the basic reference texts. Not the only one, but its value is that it is short, and contains JUST the translation of the basic text by the same name (Hatha Yoga Pradipika) that was originally published in the fifteenth century, in Sanskrit.I think it would be difficult for anyone to just take this book and start learning yoga from scratch. One could do that, but most people will probably want to work with an instructor, and/or use videos which can be downloaded from the internet. Anyone starting yoga would also be well advised to try several different instructors, if that is possible, and practice with the style that seems to resonate best.I only started doing serious reading about yoga after I began to learn and practice Ashtanga Yoga, which -- unfortunately, I think -- wasn't until about three years into my own practice. Now, I consider this book to be a basic and indispensible reference source. Many other books might refer to its translations, but for what it is -- a simple and unadorned translation of the actual original text -- it is very useful. Kind of like having a "pocket" dictionary to walk around with when you are in a foreign country, compared to having a big, fat, huge comprehensive dictionary to use when you are at home with all of your other books when you are going into more detailed studies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good resource for teachers in training
*by D***1 on August 23, 2012*

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika was required for my yoga teacher training program. I found it to be an interesting and excellent supplement to the didactic and practical elements of my training. For a student just beginning the study of the written teachings of hatha yoga, the structure of the book makes it easy to get through. The pictures are both essential and helpful. Use of the original Sanskrit was a beautiful addition. While I think the book would be more difficult to practically use for a student beginning hatha yoga without other instruction, for a practicioner with a regular practice, or a newer student studying with a trained teacher, it would be a great enhancement to their study.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A clear road to ‘samadhi’ !
*by S***L on December 24, 2013*

This is a beautiful English translation of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, originally in Sanskrit. To be precise, the title of this book as given by the author Svatmarama himself is simply Hatha Pradipika (see verse 1.3). It was renamed Hatha Yoga Pradipika or ‘light of hatha’ by Western translators some centuries ago.The current translator includes helpful photographs (black and white) of a Yogini demonstrating various hatha yoga postures.Svatmarama was an Indian Yogi living around the 15th to 16th century. He became renowned for popularizing hatha yoga through this book. He shows us in easy to understand verses how to prepare your body for internal and external purification using various kriyas.He also shows the various practices you require to attain miraculous powers of clairvoyance and telekinesis. Indeed, the master yogi’s soul can travel at will around the galaxy (brahmanda, Sanskrit), says Svatmarama. Additionally, when yoga is mastered, you experience God within your Self and you bathe in pure bliss or “samadhi,” free of bodily pain and disease.Indeed, new studies of ancient texts are indicating that Svatmarama’s (and Patanjali’s) claims could be genuine. It appears that ancient yogis were in possession of extraordinary knowledge concerning our universe. If this is true, not only will you become much healthier by practicing hatha yoga, you will generally become more intuitive and somewhat clairvoyant.Full disclosure: I’m a peer-reviewed researcher and author on this subject as well as emerging connections between ancient yoga and the Bible. ~ Sanjay C Patel ~ SanjayCPatel.com
