A brilliant cross-cultural interpretation of a key text of yoga
philosophy The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali is the foundational text
of yoga philosophy, used by millions of yoga practitioners and
students worldwide. Written in a question-and-answer format, The
Yoga Sutras of Patañjali deals with the theory and practice of
yoga and the psychological question of the liberation of the soul
from attachments. This book is a new rendering into English of the
Arabic translation and commentary of this text by the brilliant
eleventh-century polymath al-Bīrūnī. Given the many historical
variants of the Yoga Sutras, his Kitāb Bātanjali is important for
yoga studies as the earliest translation of the Sanskrit. It is
also of unique value as an Arabic text within Islamic studies,
given the intellectual and philosophical challenges that faced the
medieval Muslim reader when presented with the intricacy of
composition, interpretation, and allusion that permeates this
translation. An English-only edition.
