Publisher's Summary
A landmark new translation and edition
Written almost two millennia ago, Patañjali's work focuses on how to attain the direct experience and realization of the purusa: the innermost individual self, or soul. As the classical treatise on the Hindu understanding of mind and consciousness and on the technique of meditation, it has exerted immense influence over the religious practices of Hinduism in India and, more recently, in the West.
Edwin F. Bryant's translation is clear, direct, and exact. Each sutra is presented as Sanskrit text, transliteration, and precise English translation, and is followed by Bryant's authoritative commentary, which is grounded in the classical understanding of yoga and conveys the meaning and depth of the sutras in a user-friendly manner for Western listeners without compromising scholarly rigor or traditional authenticity. In addition, Bryant presents insights drawn from the primary traditional commentaries on the sutras written over the last millennium and a half.

Below par narration!!!
If this is how an Indian ( Indian background )narrates Sanskrit ( Indian) texts , I'd rather listen to a non-Indian narrator. At least that way, he or she will be forgiven all the mis or bad pronunciations !

A longish but good listening experience.
This is I guess would be one of the most comprehensive rendering of The Yoga Sutra. It analyses each of the sutra, giving perspective from some of the key commentators, like Vyaas, Vachaspati Misra, Adi Shankaracharya etc. The effort is to present complex concepts in relatively simpler language. At the same time, you get good understating from Advait, Sankhya and Buddhist perspectives.
The length of the book could be daunting, but given the different viewpoint it gives you, can also be interesting. Maybe an abridged version would attract more people.
Again a word of praise for Mr. Keval Shah. His diction was clear, and easy to understand.
Would recommend anyone interested in Yoga Sutra to go for it.
