Books by trans. Sri Swami Satchidananda

Swami Satchidananda (1914–2002) was an Indian yoga master and founder of Integral Yoga International. He gained wide recognition in the West after appearing at the Woodstock festival in 1969. Born in Tamil Nadu, he was a disciple of Swami Sivananda and spent decades teaching a synthesis of classical yoga philosophy and practice to Western students. His translation and commentary of the Yoga Sutras, first published in 1978, has become one of the most widely used introductory editions to Patanjali's text in the English-speaking world. He founded the Satchidananda Ashram in Virginia, now known as Yogaville.
