Produktbeschreibung
The Sanskrit for Patanjali's Yoga Sutras has existed unchanged for more than 2000 years. No authentic, accurate, and reliable translation of it exists. Purported 'translations' and interpretations do exist, but they are robustly entangled with and distorted by personal beliefs and the continually evolving accumulated teachings of religions and yoga cultures. This book is an unentangled personal translation using definitions contemporary with Patanjali. It includes detailed explanations of the differences between the original Yoga Sutras and eight 'Modern Yoga Sutras' books. The true sutras are, for example, non-religious, free of the mystical 'powers' orientation that flows through many of the books, and unencumbered by teachings of any modern yoga culture. The sutras of the original gravitate around a meditative core tied to interconnecting threads not known of today. Chapter One in this translation describes the nature of yoga, what it is and is not, its history and that of the underlying Samkhya philosophy, among other topics. Chapter Two presents the 196 translated sutras and uses captions to highlight the beauty and logic of their structural flow. Chapter Three explains each sutra in easy to understand terms. Volume 2 encourages and supports critique by describing the actual translation of each sutra and the comparative mistranslations in the Modern Yoga Sutras books.

Autorenporträt
Beck Anamin's upstate New York life began in 1936. After family life and education, he earned a bachelor's degree in Geology and a master's degree in Management. With a family to support, he was fortunate to be offered a job programming first generation computers, beginning a 38-year career in information technology. In 1970 a huge change came about in his personal life after experiencing several spontaneous spiritual events. Already yearning for that spirituality, he now knew it was possible to attain, and began study and practice of Integral Yoga at Swami Satchidananda's nearby ashram. Two years later, he began what would become 45 years of yoga teaching. Over time additional teaching accreditation and advanced training in pranayama and meditation accumulated. His teaching programs expanded from the core Integral Yoga program, to include meditation, pranayama, and the Yoga Sutras. After retiring in 1998 from his twenty-year job as manager of a large Information Technology Center, he bought a house on a pond in New Hampshire. By then alone, the setting enabled further settling into what he calls 'No One's Land, ' a personal mind space free of outside influences where no one owns people, viewpoints, or the truth. He became further absorbed in his passion for research and writing of three books providing the truths hidden by substantial misrepresentation of the Yoga Sutras, meditation, and evolution. Final editing of each took place in 2017
