Light on Life brings the insight and wisdom of Indian astrology to
the Western reader. Jyotish, or Indian astrology, is an ancient and
complex method of exploring the nature of time and space and its
effect upon the individual. Formerly a closed book to the West, the
subject has now been clarified and explained by Hart de Fouw and
Dr. Robert Svoboda, two experts and long-term practitioners. In
Light on Life they have created a complete and thorough handbook
that can be appreciated and understood by those with very little
knowledge of astrology.
Ayurveda addresses the well-being of the entire being - physical,
psychological and spiritual - in an approach to health and healing
that is as relevant to the modern world as it was to the ancient
world from which it emerged. Herbs and minerals, nutrition and
purification, affirmative ways of living are a few of the ways in
which Ayurveda treats not just the ailment but the whole person,
emphasising prevention of disease to avoid the need for cure. The
Ayurvedic principles and practices outlined in this book form a
sound basis for accessing optimal health in balance.
Dr. Svoboda's original work on the constitutional types in Ayurveda
has been considered a classic for many years. His new revision and
expansion of the subject comes after much further research and
practical experience. Dr. Vasant Lad points out: "The healing
science of Ayurveda is based totally upon the knowledge of
"prakriti," the individual constitution. If every individual knows
his own constitution, then one can understand, for instance, what
is a good diet and style of life for oneself. One man's food is
another man's poison. Therefore, to make one's life healthy, happy
and balanced, the knowledge of constitution is absolutely
necessary." (Dr. Vasant Lad is the author of Ayurveda: The Science
of Self-Healing, and co-author of The Yoga of Herbs.)
Aghora is an ancient Indian spiritual sect that is based on
achieving powerful tantric experiences. The goal of the Aghoris is
to surpass the limitations of human experience and prepare one's
body and mind to reach an extreme level of emotional and physical
intensity. A fascinating exploration of the expanses of human
awareness, this study is perfect for students of yoga and those
interested in alternative forms of spirituality. "El Aghora es un
corriente espiritual de la India que se trata de un movimiento
iniciatico tantrico muy poderoso. El objetivo de los aghoris es
superar las limitaciones de la experiencia humana y preparar el
cuerpo y la mente para asimilar emociones y sensaciones de una
intensidad insospechada. Una exploracion fascinante de los niveles
y fronteras de la conciencia, este texto es perfecto para
practicantes de yoga y para los buscadores de genuinas vias
alternativas."
