Moti Shefi’s book, Transcendental Yoga, is an important contribution to the field of Yoga philosophy. It is a comprehensive, extensive, and profound work that offers a broad overview of Yoga philosophy, a translation and commentary on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, a review of various yoga systems, and finally, an in-depth analysis of the Transcendental Meditation technique. The book’s unique contribution lies in its study of Yoga philosophy through the distinct perspective of Transcendental Meditation. Highly recommended!

In this book, Moti Shefi provides the reader with comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of Patanjali’s Yoga philosophy. Moti’s commentary bridges the gap between the philosophical aspects of the Yoga Sutras and the practical side of the practice, making it an invaluable guide for anyone practicing meditation and yoga to better understand their own experiences. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the Yoga Sutras and Vedic philosophy.

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.

I am truly impressed by this book. From the beautiful cover and fine paper to the Sanskrit transliterations and clear translation—it is simply extraordinary! It is entirely clear that this was written by someone who practices and experiences Yoga, rather than by a scholar researching it from a purely intellectual perspective. This is a masterpiece.

The brilliance of once in a thousand years. Finally a proper and in-depth translation that brings the eternal truth from the absolute to the relative! Every page in the book is pure pleasure!

Moti, I bought the book and I really appreciate your work. From an initial review and browsing of the book I can say that it is welcoming to the Hebrew speaker, eloquent, changes perceptions of life and really transformative. He added many details to me that I did not know about meditation and yoga. You are a dear man!

A must-have book for every yoga teacher and every person for whom yoga is a significant part of their life! The book is made in a very professional manner and contains a lot of knowledge. The explanation of the sutras is mainly based on the knowledge of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and in a certain sense it can be said that it is innovative and very special. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Thanks Moti.

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.
