The latest work from B.K.S. Iyengar, the world s most respected
yoga teacher.
Foreword from His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
B.K.S. Iyengar has devoted his life to the practice and study of
yoga. It was B.K.S. Iyengar s unique teaching style, bringing
precision and clarity to the practice, as well as a mindset of yoga
for all, which has made it into a worldwide phenomenon.
His seminal book, Light on Yoga, is widely called the bible of
yoga and has served as the source book for generations of yoga
students around the world. In Core of the Yoga Sutras, he applies
this same clarity to the philosophical core of yoga the Yoga Sutras
of Patanjali.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are 196 aphorisms forming the
foundational text of yoga philosophy. Each sutra is short and to
the point each being only a line or two long. B.K.S. Iyengar has
translated each one, providing an insightful commentary and
explanation for modern readers, as well as linking the various
themes throughout the sutras to one another.
Each sutra is presented as Sanskrit text, transliteration and
English translation, followed by B.K.S. Iyengar s unique commentary
and authority only he can bring to the work.
B.K.S. Iyengar s insight on the sutras show the reader how we
can transform ourselves through the practice of yoga, gradually
developing the mind, body and emotions, so we can become
spiritually evolved. This is a wonderful introduction to the
spiritual philosophy that is the foundation of yoga practice."
B.K.S. Iyengar--hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" (BBC) and
considered by many to be the most important living yoga master--has
spent much of his life introducing the modern world to the ancient
practice of yoga. Yoga's popularity is soaring, but its widespread
acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition
of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of
the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the
yogic tradition can also offer. In "Light on Life," B.K.S. Iyengar
brings readers this new and more complete understanding of the
yogic journey. Written with the depth of this sage's great wisdom,
Light on Life is the culmination of a master's spiritual genius, a
treasured companion to his seminal Light on Yoga.
Sparks of Divinity is a collection of the teachings of yoga master
B.K.S. Iyengar first published in a French-English bilingual
edition in 1976. The material for this book was gathered and
compiled by Noelle Perez-Christiaens from class notes and
correspondence during the formative years of Iyengar's
international career. The entries cover the period from the late
1950s, when Iyengar was invited by Yehudi Menuin to teach in
Gstaad, Switzerland, to the year following the death of Iyengar's
wife and the opening of the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga
Institute in Pune, India. When Noelle first studied with Iyengar in
Pune in 1959, he was still teaching his pupils one-on-one at his
home. During her stay in India, Noelle was regarded virtually as
one of the household, and this intimacy continued in their
subsequent letters, where Iyengar wrote to her more as a colleague
and friend than as a teacher. We are fortunate to include Noelle's
Indian Journal for 1959 and her Early Life of B.K.S. Iyengar,
translated into English especially for this edition, for the
intimate glimpses they give of Iyengar's personal life and family.
Sparks of Divinity is also a testament to the deep bond between
teacher and student. In an Afterword about Noelle, we learn how an
early suggestion from Iyengar moved her in a completely new
direction, and how she attributes her discoveries about Aplomb
(natural balance) to Iyengar's ongoing inspiration.
