The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali: A New Edition, Translation, and Commentary

Edwin F. Bryant · ★★★★☆ · 672 pages · 2009

Bryant had a hard task at hand. Merging the various traditional commentaries to make a new commentary while making it accessible to both laypeople while also making it academically rigorous. While he does do a good job of making it more academically inclined, I think he struggled a bit with making it easier to understand for laypeople. While I think this should be a secondary reading of the Yoga Sutras I do think there are other renditions and commentaries that are a bit more usefulness for the practitioner.
