5.0 out of 5 stars a treasure, November 18, 2007

anyone with any interest in yoga or meditation, must buy this book.

I'm almost laughing just thinking about its price of five dollars..

I put it in my Amazon cart because Swami wrote my first yoga book [Integral Hatha Yoga] and I knew him to be a genuine authority on Hatha Yoga, and, as I was also buying Swami's translation of 'Yoga Sutras of Patanjali' [also, a treasure of its type] and having an interest in meditation generally.. five dollars..

31 pages, subtitled 'Excerpts from talks by Sri Swami Satchidananda',
cant be much . . . how pleasantly surprised was I !

this is a genuine how-to guide which anyone could use with success . .

its small size and give-away price together with its structure make it obvious that this little treasure has been produced as a gift to us ..

it has EVERYTHING from how to sit on the pillow to what to do with your eyeballs to what mantras to use and how they actually work, to [pauses]
but, short description here could not do this little book justice..

repeat, if you have any, interest in yoga or meditation, buy this book!

This little book is perfect for the new, or even more experienced, meditator. It guides through different methods of meditation in a clear, concise manner, and is small enough to take with you wherever you go, as a reminder to take a few moments to "go inside". This book will be helpful to nearly everyone, and I highly recommend it.

Everything you need to know to either start, continue or be sure you are on the right path in your meditation practice. You can and may learn more, but in the end, this is really all you need. Very loving.
