Matri Most books on the Sūtras hand you one of two things: scripture, or a stretching manual.

This one talks in rivers, mountains, gardens, fences and weeds. And it is funny — which nobody ever warns you about in this subject, and which turns out to be the whole difference. Eighteen chapters of classical Rāja Yoga: what spiritual anxiety actually is, and why the wobble is a question of alignment rather than of character.

There is also a 5½-hour audiobook, written to be heard as one unbroken sitting rather than in chapters.

If the Sūtras are your territory — or you've meant to make them your territory and bounced off three translations — I'll send you a copy. EPUB or PDF, say which.

No review required. If you write one, say what you actually think.
