Thought Publisher's Summary: Consisting of fewer than 200 verses
written in an obscure if not impenetrable language and style,
Patanjalis Yoga Sutra is today extolled by the yoga establishment
as a perennial classic and guide to yoga practice. As David Gordon
White demonstrates in this groundbreaking study, both of these
assumptions are incorrect. 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
- and translated into more than 40 languages - only in the course
of the past 40 years. White retraces the strange and circuitous
journey of this confounding work from its ancient origins down
through its heyday in the seventh through eleventh centuries, its
gradual fall into obscurity, and its modern resurgence since the
nineteenth century. First introduced to the West by the British
Orientalist Henry Thomas Colebrooke, the Yoga Sutra was revived
largely in Europe and America, and predominantly in English. White
brings to life the improbable cast of characters whose
interpretations - and misappropriations - of the Yoga Sutra led to
its revered place in popular culture today. Tracing the remarkable
trajectory of this enigmatic work, Whites exhaustively researched
book also demonstrates why the yoga of Indias past bears little
resemblance to the yoga practiced today.
