Look's like Patanjali is a good teacher and someone to read more about. I'll definitely go to the version you suggested.
But also, @konstantin21 what do you mean by modern take? Does it contain the same concept but exposed on a much, lets' say "digestible" way?
Consider I do know nothing about the topic, where I could start learning about Patanjali approach? ... and how is Raja Yoga differentiating from other practices?
