BOOK REVIEWS

This an excellent translation, but much abridged from the original, representing less than 20 percent of the text.
A useful feature for the brginner in this yoga is its division into two volumes, each of which is arranged into readings for each day of the year.
It should be noted that only ONE Sanskrit sloka is given with each daily reading.
