Description
The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali: A New Edition, Translation, and Commentary by Edwin F. Bryant
Written over two millennia ago, Patañjali's work explores the path to attaining direct experience and realization of the purusa, the innermost individual self. This influential treatise on Hindu understanding of mind and consciousness has shaped the practice of yoga in India and the West.
Edwin F. Bryant's new translation presents each sutra in Sanskrit text, transliteration, and precise English translation, accompanied by his authoritative commentary. Drawing on traditional commentaries and grounded in classical understanding, Bryant's work conveys the meaning and depth of the sutras in a clear and accessible manner for Western readers.
