Even the \u003ci\u003eYogasūtra\u003c\/i\u003e itself is an \"approach,\" a voice articulating an other- a silent, beyond-speech yogin. Author Yohanan Grinshpon presents Pata�jali as a Sāṅkhya-philosopher, who interprets silence in accordance with his own dualist metaphysics and Buddhistic sensibilities. The \u003ci\u003eYogasūtra\u003c\/i\u003e represents an intellectual's conceptualization of utter otherness rather than the yogin's verbalization of silence. \u003ci\u003eSilence Unheard\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the yogin's supra-normal experiences (\u003ci\u003esiddhis\u003c\/i\u003e) as well as on the classification of silences and the ultimate goal of disintegration through \u003ci\u003eguṇa\u003c\/i\u003e balance. The book provides a translation of the \u003ci\u003eYogasūtra\u003c\/i\u003e divided into two sections: an essential text, concerning the yoga practitioner, and a secondary text, concerning the philosopher. Grinshpon also surveys the encounters of intellectuals, scholars, seekers, devotees, and outsiders with the \u003ci\u003eYogasūtra\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47590894665879,"sku":"9780791451021","price":3445.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780791451021.webp?v=1774970922","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/silence-unheard-deathly-otherness-in-p-257-tanjala-yoga-9780791451021","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
