I've been very moved and influenced by the performance version Peter Brook directed in Adelaide years ago. I struggle to read it. Which translation do you recommend?

Yoga Brisbane Yogi Mar 9, 2007, 2:17 PM Post #4 of 8 (1772 views) Shortcut Re: [Carolyn] autobiography of a yogi [In reply to] Can't Post Im a big fan of a translation by Swami Tapasyananda. I read commentaries occassionally, such as the one by Swami Sivananda, Gandhi and some other western writers. I havent read the one by Sri Yukteswar/Paramahamsa Yogananda yet but i heard that its very detailed and good. I find it good to meditate for 5-10 mins then read a few slokas and then to close my eyes and think about what i read, what it means, criticise it if i can, think more and then finally get what it means....its absolutely amazing Bharat www.bvsyoga.com.au
