A brilliant cross-cultural Arabic interpretation of a key text of
yoga philosophy The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is the foundational
text of yoga philosophy to this day and is still used by millions
of yoga practitioners and students worldwide. Written in a
question-and-answer format, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 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
edition and translation into English of the Arabic translation and
commentary on this text by the brilliant eleventh-century polymath
al-Biruni. Given the many historical variants of the Yoga Sutras,
his Kitab Batanjali is important for yoga studies as the earliest
translation of the Sanskrit text. 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. A bilingual
Arabic-English edition.
