by Swami Satyananda Saraswati (Author)
Everyday Yoga becomes more popular in the Western world, while taking forms further away from its original essence and purpose. This book opens the doors to the deep worldview of yoga. It cites its original sources, from the Vedas and the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga-Sutras, the classic Hatha-Yoga texts, through the little-known lives of the Natha masters, to the great contemporary yogis. An exciting text where the author, who has taken a journey first-hand through the inner process of yoga, leads us to discover its foundations, its practices and its ancestral legacy that has been kept alive from master to disciple to the present; and to help us understand the process of yoga, from its ancient origins to the way it is taught in the West today.
