Four Chapters on Freedom: Commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
Yoga Publications Trust, 2002
A Very Thorough Translation & Interpretation

Sure Ways to Self-Realization
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
Yoga Pubns Trust, 2002
Storehouse of Knowledge
The book presents a wonderful spectrum of spiritual knowledge. It would have been greater to go deeper on each of the paths (but then the book would have been, like 5000 pages)
