Yoga: Discipline of Freedom: The Yoga Sutra Attributed to Patanjali Hardcover - 1996

by Barbara Stoler Miller (Translator)

The Yoga Sutra, dating from about the third century A.D., distills the essentials of a complex system of physical and spirituaol discipline into 200 brief aphorisms. Barbara Stoler Miller's translation clearly conveys every nuance of Patanjali's words, and her commentary offers invaluable guidance to anyone seeking to understand Indian philosophy or the practice of yoga.

First line

This is the teaching of yoga. (1)

From the rear cover

The Yoga Sutra, dating from about the third century A.D., distills the essentials of a complex system of physical and spiritual discipline into not quite two hundred brief aphorisms. Yoga is at the heart of all meditative practice in Asia, yet until now there has been no first-rate English version of this primary text. Barbara Stoler Miller's translation admirably fills that gap - her clear, strong style and sensitive phrasing convey every nuance of Patanjali's words, and her commentary offers invaluable guidance to anyone seeking to understand how yoga describes our relation to the world.
