Exploring the Yogasutra: Philosophy and Translation
Autor Dr Daniel Ravehen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mar 2012
Patañjali's Yogasutra is an ancient canonic Indian
text composed in Sanskrit in the 3rd or 4th century. Belonging to a very
different cultural milieu, this multi-layered text is philosophical,
psychological and practical in nature. Offering a philosophical reading of
Patañjali's Yogasutra, this book discusses themes such as freedom, self-identity, time
and transcendence, and translation - between languages, cultures and eras. Drawing substantially upon contemporary Indian materials, it discusses
for the first time classical yoga as reflected upon by Daya Krishna (1924-2007)
with constant reference to Krishna Chandra Bhattacharyya's (1875-1949) studies
in yoga philosophy. The genuine attempt on behalf of these two original
thinkers to engage philosophically with Patañjala-yoga sets the tone of the
textual exploration provided here.

This book features a new annotated translation of
the Yogasutra, and the author provides a useful background to the extensive Samkhya terminology
employed by Patañjali. Daniel Raveh also offers a close reflection of the very
act of translation, and the book concludes with suggestions for further reading
and a glossary of central notions.

Recenzii
'Thinking anew with Patanjali: this is a modern-day translation and meditation on the spiritual praxis and philosophy of the Yogasutras, the great ancient Indian classic. Daniel Raveh's refreshing book is, at the same time, a sensitive reflection on meaningful cross-cultural and cross-epochal translation which he sees as a process of creative transformation, a process inevitable for retaining significance.'
'Raveh's thoughtful reflections on the nature of translation, his investigation of five key themes: practice, dispassion, ignorance, clinging, and yogic knowledge, as well as his skilfully rendered new translation of the Yoga Sutra make this book indispensible reading for anyone with a serious interest in the study of classical Yoga.'
'As a philosophical work attempting to answer some questions that Patañjali's YS raises, it is a refreshing change from the recent trend of Yoga books dealing mainly with "physical-Yoga".'
'Exploring the Yogasutra presents a new, engaging perspective on Patanjali from a philosophical point of view. It is a contribution invaluable for anybody interested in this authoritative source of Yoga theory.'
'Raveh undertakes an extraordinary clarification of the old, profound, paradoxical, often mysterious inward-seeking inwardness of the Yogasutra...Altogether, the book is a great didactic success in the translation of the thought and practice of one culture into the terms of another.'
