The rise, fall, and modern resurgence of an enigmatic book revered
by yoga enthusiasts around the world Consisting of fewer than two
hundred verses written in an obscure if not impenetrable language
and style, Patanjali's Yoga Sutra is extolled by the yoga
establishment as a perennial classic and guide to yoga
practice-except it isn't. Virtually forgotten in India for hundreds
of years and maligned when it was first discovered in the West, the
Yoga Sutra has been elevated to its present iconic status only in
the course of the past forty years. David Gordon White retraces the
strange and circuitous journey of this confounding work from its
ancient origins to today, bringing to life the improbable cast of
characters whose interpretations and misappropriations of the Yoga
Sutra led to its revered place in contemporary popular culture.
