Swami Rama's translation and commentary on one of the world's most
sacred and inspiring scriptures. Emphasizes the practical
application of the several facets of the teachings ... Gives deep
insight into the philosophy of life and its practical application.
This volume has five contributors, of diverse nationalities and
backgrounds, but who share a common bond of great reverence and
love for the Himalayan Master, Swami Rama. They approached him at
different times, for different reasons and with different
aspirations. Despite these differences in age, background,
temperament and nationality they found in Swami Rama a true friend,
profound philosopher and compassionate guide.
In this practical guide to inner life, Swami Rama--one of the most
advanced yoga masters to visit the West--teaches us how to slip
beyond the mental turbulence of our ordinary thought processes into
an infinite reservoir of consciousness from which we can draw
guidance, creative power, joy, and tranquility. The techniques
presented here have been used by the sages of India from time
immemorial to live in harmony with the world around them, to find
strength to face life's difficulties, and to know themselves.
Outlines the basic physical exercises, mental disciplines, and
ethical commitments of raja yoga
The contents of this book have been taken from Swami Rama's lecture
courses on Yoga Sutras. Swamiji states that Patanjali's Yoga Sutras
are the basis of ancient psychology. The explanations in this book
include many practical pointers on how we can work with the mind in
daily life, as well as study and direct the mind when in quieter
states of meditation. Swamiji's description of the totality of the
mind, the functions of the mind, and the emotions, goes far beyond
the concepts of modern psychology, and provides insight into the
intricacies of yoga psychology, making this an invaluable edition
from the therapeutic viewpoint as well as its practicality as a
guide for living a healthy, balanced life.
