One of the most comprehensive and profound books published in Israel (or in general) on Patanjali’s yoga sutras and yoga philosophy. Both seasoned practitioners and those who meet the knowledge for the first time can gain a lot from reading this book.

In the book “Transcendental Yoga” the author describes in great detail the deep roots of the yoga method and interprets the yoga sutras, emphasizing their practical applications.
This book is highly recommended for anyone who practices yoga and wants to deeply understand the philosophy on which the yoga practices are based, practices which are designed to contribute to the improvement of all areas of life.

As someone who has been practicing yoga and meditation for many years, reading this book was a profound and meaningful experience for me. The book, written and interpreted by Moti Shafi, is the product of a lifetime dedicated to studying meditation and yoga with endless diligence. He is most fit to perform this sacred and complex task – interpreting Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
Moti Shafi brings to his commentary a rare combination of deep knowledge, spiritual wisdom and many years of personal and professional experience. Thanks to his dedication and diligence, the book succeeds in making the depth of yogic philosophy accessible in a clear way, without renouncing the authenticity and depth of the original writings.
This book is highly recommended to anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of the philosophy of yoga and experience the true spiritual meaning of the practice.

In this book, Motti Shefi offers readers an in-depth exploration of Patanjali’s yoga philosophy, grounded in the insights of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Transcendental Meditation and the Science of Creative Intelligence. Moti‘s interpretation connects the philosophical elements of the Yoga Sutras with practical aspects of practice, providing valuable insights for anyone engaged in meditation and yoga. This book is highly recommended for those interested in yoga sutras, Vedic philosophy, and particularly for practitioners of Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi program.
