The Four Paths of Yoga: Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga

Before I read this book I was not familiar with Jannana Uogs. There is nothing that I have read in Western Philosophy that comes close to the bold thoughts expressed in the book on Jannana Yoga. This is the first time that I have found a bridge between intellectual, ration thought and mystical beliefs. The depth of the ideas expressed is breathtaking. After quantum physics in the 20th century such a marriage of the rationality of physics and Aristotalian logic with philosophy and theology is becoming more accepted……but these ideas are a thousand years old…… and this specific book was written in the 19th Century!

Great to have all four texts in one book. The language feels a little bit outdated since it was first published over 120yrs ago, but it is still remarkably relevant and readable. Not for beginners however it would not be a waste as a beginner because you will certainly return to this time and again.

This is an excellent edition of The Four Paths of Yoga by Swami Vicekananda. Not only all four paths of yoga, i.e., Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and presented here, but they so in a clean and carefully edited version. This deserves my 5-star review.

The book is illuminating, eloquent, and divinely inspired. The type editor however should be fired. So many spelling mistakes it’s almost like a glitch. I’ve never seen such poor type editing before. So many missing periods as well. Lazy publisher.

The source material is excellent and deserves 5+ stars but this version of the text has so many distracting distortions, misspellings, odd spacings and sloppy typography that it should be avoided. Perhaps someone ran a book through OCR without proper quality control…. The uncorrupted text is available online so there is no excuse for this unprofessional version. Shameful.

I have just received the book few minutes back. I just loved the quality of it. Fonts are good sized. It has got all 4 types of yoga.I look forward to reading and enjoying it.

All is well
