The Hatha Yoga Pradipika
£3.59
The best translation available. - Brian Akers has done a really good job of translating Svatmarama s extraordinary work. The work is esoteric throughout, and with due respect for this Akers has not included a commentary. Comparing this to Hans Rieker s famous translation, I think Akers has done a better job. His translation is complete, so better than Riekers, but in some places he has still let his intellectual knowledge interfere with the translation. For example instead of a handspan he says 9, the meaning is different. This book is a manual for kundalini, it s extraordinary.
