Studies the early roots of yoga,
By Robert Butera (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essence of Yoga: Essays on the Development of Yogic Philosophy from the Vedas to Modern Times (Paperback)
If you are a fan of Georg Feuerstein's writings, this book resembles the Philosophy of Classical Yoga in that it is written for the more intermediate, advanced or scholarly yoga student as it reviews yoga's early roots in the Vedic tradition, while relating the study to the Christian mystic, Meister Eckhart. From her expertise in the Vedas, co-author Jeanine Miller offers her insights that help the Vedas come alive for the reader and realize how the yoga of today springs forth from a 5,000 year old tradition.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Bedtime reading for philosophers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essence of Yoga: Essays on the Development of Yogic Philosophy from the Vedas to Modern Times (Paperback)
If you like philosophy and get turned by Yoga, this is a book for you. The chapters are pretty technical and full of yogic terminology, but the presentation is sound and endlessly fascinating. The book has my vote.
