Talk:Joga: rozhdenie individual'nosti (Йога: рождение индивидуальности)
I have all text of this book (only text without colophon), but the book took too much time from me. My attempts to find the book, from which the translation is made, to a clear answer failed! There (a library, a online shop) are several references to The Yoga-Book: The Birth of the Individual (it means exactly Russian book title), but it's more like an English translation of the Russian title of the book. The publisher of "Весь" - can do so, I discovered this fact several times, and this was in breach with the English book in the original. The existence of the The Yoga-Book: The Birth of the Individual I'm not sure. A comparison of the first two chapters led me to the fact that they are vaguely similar to the pieces of English text of Yoga: The Alpha and the Omega, Vol 1: 1) there are no lack large pieces of text; 2) at the beginning of each chapter instead sutras of Patanjali is "the Sutra Osho", which is a quote/quotes from the book; 3) not all chapters, sometimes skipped questions. For this book requires a detailed comparative analysis with the volumes of Yoga: The Alpha and the Omega. The book has 13 chapters. It looks like almost compilation.
What does "et al." mean?
TOC (in translation):
- 1. Embarking on the path of yoga.

Does sound like a compilation, in which case, may be not worth your while to nail down the details.
Couple things:
"Et al" is Latin, short for "et alia", means "and others".
And your chapter 12 may be all or part of Alpha/Omega Vol 5 ch 5, and should be the eight limbs of yoga. "Limbs" is what we use in English anyway when we talk about Patanjali's system. Limbs being literally arms and legs. -- doofus-9 16:50, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, I leave the book for later :-) --DhyanAntar 05:15, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Later published as Joga: novoe rozhdenie (Йога: новое рождение).
Some sources states on The Yoga-Book: The Birth of the Individual. I think it is a translation of Russian title. These sources (and the books of Ves (Весь), Sofia (София)) often do like it. --DhyanAntar 11:35, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
