Book Reviews of A Systematic Course in the Ancient Tantric Techniques of Yoga and Kriya

Book Review: You will not find any better book if you are looking for details
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are interesting in holistic insights about Yoga, Kriya etc, this is the book ! To give you an example, I have never yet found very clear (& scientific - for those who are looking for cause and effect) explanation of "sarvangasana" anywhere except this book. The way I look at that posture now is completely different ! The book also covers Yoga Nidra & many other techniques extremely well.

It is difficult to not appreciate such a volume on Yogic practices.

Beware, the book is a bit descriptive (fewer diagrams) but I did not find that to be a problem. You will (probably) never find such a comprehensive volume on Yogic practices anywhere.

Summary of A Systematic Course in the Ancient Tantric Techniques of Yoga and Kriya

Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion.It is the most valuable inheritance of the present.It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow. Swami Sivananda Sarswati. This book is the most comprehensive text ever published on yoga. It contains a complete course of 36 structured lessons on all the practices of integral yoga. The lessons were compiled from the teachings given by Swami Satyananda Saraswati and are useful as a practical and theoretical guide for all levels of yoga teachers and aspirants. The book presents a synthesis of yoga in a scientific and systematic manner. The different branches of hatha yoga, mantra yoga, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jnana yoga and kriya yoga are progressively introduced with special emphasis on practice, theory and application in daily life. Includes line drawings,diagrams and colour plates. The depth of knowledge this book contains provides the link between you,the practitoner of yoga and an experienced guide and teacher.This link is your sadhana(spiritual practice),the beginning of your inner transformation,spiritual awakening and realization of higher ideals in life. The techniques covered in this book have their basis in the ancient vedic (tantric and yogic) shastras and were handed over the centuries from guru to disciple. Now in an age when travel and communication have become almost instantaneous affairs and there are more efficient methods of disseminating wisdom than the human voice and ear,we wish to offer these transcendatal instruments of grace to all who have eyes to read and ears to hear.
