Strays away,
By Dr. Jan B. Newman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dreams of the Soul: The Yogi Sutras of Patanjali (Paperback)
I have read many translations of Patanjali now. These interpretations in some instances stray far from the sutra meaning. In other instances, the cross references with Christian and Biblical references may help those not familiar with things Eastern. There is no reference to the original Sanskrit words and roots that I find essential in understanding the meanings. I believe that this is a good first book for those who have little exposure to Indian scripture. I would hope people would find their interest piqued enough by this book to go deeper.

A universal text applicable to many religions,
By Jim Ross "JimboJim" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dreams of the Soul: The Yogi Sutras of Patanjali (Paperback)
The observation that the Taj Mahal, depicted on the front cover, is an Islamic monument and not a Hindu one, is certainly correct, but I think its use at a cover for a translation of the sutras of Patanjali is brilliant. The Moghul emperors of India, one of whom had the Taj built, were mostly Sufis and dedicated to finding principles commonly held by ALL religions in their domain, the major ones being Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jain, Christianity. For the author to explore these common links within the text of this book in the context of the sutras is useful for those just starting to explore the underpinnings of Yoga philosophy or the roots of Buddhism. His new-agey, faux-history of Atlantis and its supposed connection to culture, language, and scriptures of India in the introduction can be easily dismissed. Yes, Barbara Miller's translation is superior, but this one is not at all bad.
