This review is from: Sadhana: A Textbook of the Psychology & Practice of the Techniques to Spiritual Perfection (Any Time Temptations Series) (Hardcover)
Within the first five pages of reading it is so obvious that here is the work of a great Teacher. Clear, concise, and beaming with the aura of lived experience, Sadhana is a must read for every serious student of yoga, spirituality, and eastern philosophy. Keep in mind this is not for a beginner on the Path. Otherwise, definitely buy this book. The only thing that may be of issue is the continuous and profuse use of Sanskrit terminology. The technical terms are often given in English afterward but not always; also there are quotes from the sacred texts that are often left in transliterated Sanskrit without translation. All in all, this is a speck of dust on a brilliant mirror.
