The original Sanskrit Sutras were probably written about 500 B.C.In The Light of the Soul these Sutras are presented for a Western Audience in the form of an English paraphrase, communicated telepathically by "The Tibetan", thus constituting, according to the author, a unique and significant approach to the problems involved in translation.Mrs. Bailey has written a detailed and vivid commentary on each Sutra.
