This is a brief guide to the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali. It is brief by way of being practical. After stating the goal of Yoga, it is basically an exposition of the eight limbs of Yoga Patañjali gives in Chapter two and the beginning of Chapter three of his Yoga Sutras.
Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras: Based on the Teaching of Srivatsa Ramaswami by Pam Hoxsey
Book and CD by Pam Hoxsey
Local author and yogi, Pam Hoxsey, learned to chant the Yoga Sutras from Srivatsa Ramaswami, who learned them from his teacher. T. Krishnamacharya. They met one-on-one for two hours each morning in two-week intervals, repeated over three years. They chanted the sutras, and then Ramaswami would discuss their meanings. This book--and the CD--is the result of their meetings together.
This version of the Yoga Sutras is comprehensive. Each sutra is written as a phrase, followed by a word-by-word translation, and then a summary of its meaning. In addition, a “tacit question” is often proposed to suggest what topic is being explained. Sometimes there are additional short “notes” to further aid in understanding.
At the end of the book is Ramaswami’s handwritten Sanskrit, followed by the chant phrases written in English with red and blue markings to indicate where the pitch goes up and down. And then there’s the CD by Pam, who has a beautiful voice, chanting the sutras. So you can both read the Yoga Sutras and learn to chant them as they were originally chanted and passed on through the centuries before Patanjali wrote them down.
You can order the book directly from Pam by calling 847.328.4246.

Oh, thank you for these!
Perfect timing, because I´m attending a three month long Yoga sutra class, where we discuss and learn samadhi pada by heart . The class is led by the professor who translated the sutras from sanskrit to finnish and does astangayoga himself (oh, we are so lucky!) . He chants the sutras very well, actually sounded very much like Ramaswami, but these help me to learn at home.
Thank you! Wonderful!

Hi Katja, nice surprise to get your comment.
Glad I was able to post this before your Yoga Sutra course. I've just added another section, a transliteration of the yoga sutras, click on any sutra and it takes you to Ashtangayogainfo.com for an explanation of the sutra etc.
Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the Patanjali book from Amazon you and Ramaswami was referring to (with other books, like Yoga Yajnavalkya) a week ago.
