The Classic Yogic Text,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Siva Samhita (Hardcover)
Although this book was highly informative and well written, it was not an easy read, nor an entirely pleasant one. I believe the reason mainly is for the dry and, certainly, scholarly translation. Nonetheless, it proved to be very helpful for me, and surely for those practicing Yoga of all sorts, whether it be Bhakti, Raja, Jnana or Hatha Yoga. It also includes the main doctrine of the Yoga student, as well as the disciplines involved. Within, one will also find positions in which to meditate and the diet one must take on. All in the frame of 90 pages, this book will surely enlighten those interested and will get a deeper understanding of the practice. The book is broken up into 5 chapters with some odd number of aphorisms. Along with each aphorism is the original Sanskrit text inbetween. I do highly reccomend the works of Vivikananda as well as "Hatha-Yoga Pradipika" by Vishnu-devananda. A book to be studied upon rather than just read, indeed!
