Ian Myles Slater on: Mainly For Serious Students
By Ian M. Slater
As stated by an earlier reviewer, this translation of "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali," from Dover Publications, is NOT the work described in the Amazon "Editorial Reviews," but a classic translation-with-traditional-commentaries by an Indologist, James Haughton Woods (1864-1935). If you are looking for an easy "guide to Oriental Mysticism," or even religious edification, you probably won't be interested in this translation.
It has been at least twenty-five-plus years since I read it, and I still remember it as a long slog -- and I had been looking for something with "more meat on it." Contrary to my usual practice, I'm not even trying to re-read the whole book, or a substantial part of it, before reviewing it; this review is mostly an advisory for people thinking of buying it, sight-unseen.
Even if you don't think such heavy reading is for you, it is a good place to go to check other, more reader-friendly translations of either Patanjali's brief text or the commentarial tradition; and if you have ever compared translations, you may already want to account for the differences between many of them. Woods' own commentary may be helpful for such questions.
If you are interested in it just for this purpose, there is a pdf version from Google, also available from the Library of Congress's archive.com website. Since Dover's Kindle version does not preserve the original page numbering, the pdf is also invaluable for serious scholarship. It is not nearly as readable, however. Woods' various indexes give section and line numbers, instead of page numbers, so the Dover edition's version of these can be used. Don't look for it using the Dover title; it originally appeared as "The Yoga-System of Patanjali, Or The Ancient Hindu Doctrine of Concentration of Mind," as Volume 17 in the Harvard Oriental Series.
The massive work (over 400 pages) was apparently completed in 1914, following a period of study by Woods in India; bibliographic sources indicate that it was published that year. For some reason, Dover Publications ascribes that edition to 1927, although the pdf confirms the 1914 date. (Has it been confused with another volume in the Harvard Oriental Series, some of which were delayed by the First World War?)
This is, apparently, the only edition of Woods' "Yoga-System" available on Kindle; other editions, listed as his translation, all appear to be the works of others (mainly, I think, Charles Johnston). This appears to be yet another deeply-embedded mistake in the Kindle catalogue, rather than an intentional deception, although I wanted the Woods translation, and found the mix-up very annoying.*
Prospective readers should be advised that the approach taken by Woods is anything but popular. To quote a (somewhat self-congratulatory) Harvard Oriental Series catalogue of 1920, "When one considers the floods of pseudo-scientific writing with which the propagandists of various Indian "isms" in America have deluged us, one is the better prepared to appreciate the self-restraint of Dr. Woods in keeping all that pertains to miracle-mongering and sensationalism in the background, and in devoting himself to the exposition of the spiritual and intellectual aspects of Yoga. His work 'continues the tradition of austere scholarship' which has, from the beginning, characterized the Harvard Oriental Series."
The basic contents are the very brief sutra ('thread') attributed to Patanjali (who may or may not have been the grammarian of the same name), and the oldest commentary, Yoga-bhashya, attributed to Veda-Vyasa, together with its own Explanation, the Tattva-vaicaradi of Vachaspati-Misra. Naturally, Woods added his own commentary, to explain the sutra, commentary, and explanation of the commentary.
This was not the first appearance of the three works together in English; According to Mircea Eliade's even more massive "Yoga: Immortality and Freedom" (English translation, 1958, revised 1969) Rama Prasada's "Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, with the Commentary of Vyasa and the Gloss of Vachapatimisra" had appeared in print in 1910, and had its third edition in 1924.
Eliade, who also had studied in India (with the great historian of Indian philosophy, Surendranath Dasgupta), and was at one point a traditional Yoga practitioner, does not cite either translation, except to point out where Woods differed from Dasgupta on the identity of Patanjali. (Well, at least as far as the excellent index reveals). Possibly Eliade would have mentioned any other disagreements with Woods, but he couldn't mention everything, even in 572 pages, and that is just my working assumption.
*[Note, June 3, 2016: I haven't take a look at this review in some time, and now note that I failed to mention (or deleted) the peculiar fact that the Kindle file for this edition for some reason attributes the translation or editing to a certain Joseph A. Sullivan, who, so far as I have been able to figure out, had nothing to do with.....]

Worth the Effort to Read
By SinDe
For those who are interested in yoga and meditation, beyond as an exercise, this is the definitive book to read.
However, this is not a book for the novice. The reading can be difficult to grasp at times. I read the book three times and still use it as a reference. For those who are truly interested in mastering meditation this is the book --- after a good foundation and general understanding of the practice.
Personally, I feel that it helps to be somewhat familiar with Hinduism and some of the practices. I have been practicing meditation for quite a few years and found this book helpful. This is definitely not the first book to read if you are looking for an introduction to meditation or the Sutras.

Kindle edition doesn't give good transliterations of the Sanskrit
By Wayne Weiss
This translation by Woods is technical and not particularly easy however the Kindle edition has additional problems. The special characters in the Sanskrit words do not translate. They can't be reproduced by Kindle. This is a serious defect. It is very difficult to discern what the actual word in Sanskrit is and given the multiplicity of possibilities of possible translations it is very hard to follow the text. As the text is technical the Sanskrit is vital for an understanding of the work and this problem presents a serious difficulty in understanding the concepts. I wouldn't recommend it.
