This book is a groundbreaking work for serious seekers and scholars about Spontaneous Yoga - the Yoga of liberation. Instead of discussing the physical exercises or meditations usually understood to be Yoga in the West, YOGA focuses on a proven process by which you can achieve liberation from the limitations of time and space, unlimited divine powers, and an immortal, physically perfect divine body that is retained forever.

Yoga: The Ultimate Spiritual Path,
By Cassandra Barnes "Cassandra" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga: The Ultimate Spiritual Path (Paperback)
Swami Rajarshi Muni is an advanced practicing yogi who has written numerous books. His latest, Yoga: The Ultimate Spiritual Path, is "a remarkable synthesis of yoga psychology and metaphysics." In it, he traces the history of yogic philosophy and its development over time, emphasizing its role in spiritual unfolding. He does not include any yoga postures, leaving that up to individual instructors. "Yoga is neither a religion by itself nor part of any other religious system," he says, adding that "yoga is universal and a yogi is not necessarily bound to any particular religious faith." He defines it as "the union between the individual self and the universal self." Yoga is available to anyone who wishes to accept its discipline. Muni discusses yoga practices relating to a variety of areas, such as rebirth, karma, the purpose of life, bliss, human consciousness, and suffering. Although yoga is an ancient practice, its underlying philosophy is timeless and still relevant to those wishing to transform their lives. Classical yoga focuses on spiritual development and the attainment of higher levels of consciousness, and this is what Muni concentrates on throughout his writing. "Yoga: The Ultimate Spiritual Path provides a comprehensive overview of traditional yoga philosophy for the Western reader and at the same time creates a context that helps us place ourselves on the spiritual pathway, so that we may understand the deeper purpose for our existence." It's essential reading for all those interested in philosophy. It will also satisfy those who've practiced yoga as a physical or mental exercise, but sense that there's more to it than simple exercise.
