A must for all serious students in meditation

Concentration & Meditation

By

Swami Sivananda

On reading this book I was impressed by the thorough and serious way the author approached the subject. There is no omission anywhere, starting from the first steps one should take in order to learn how to concentrate until the disciples passes from this stage to meditation and later, depending on how serious he is, to Samadhi.

All the problems and hindrances likely to be met on the way are also thoroughly dealt with leaving, so to speak, no stone unturned.

Having myself practiced meditation for the last thirty years, the detailed explanations and repetitions, both pleased me but at times tired me, although I cannot but admit that in every case the serious student will find it both useful and necessary a guidance for all steps of the way.

My passion for yoga has developed strongly over the last couple of years. I went through a teacher training and received certification. I hunger for authentic information on yoga. I feel bombarded by feel-good, hippy-dippy, yoga-lite stuff. These older books are the real deal. They are written with quite a few Sanskrit terms which may be off putting to some people (not me) there is a glossary in the back, it doesn't list every word. I say keep reading anyhow - the more you immerse yourself in the culture the more you understand. Namaste!
