Editorial Reviews

Review

His words are great music, phrases in the style of Beethoven, stirring rhythms like the march of Handel choruses. I cannot touch these sayings of his, scattered as they are through the pages of books at thirty years' distance, without receiving a thrill through my body like an electric shock. And what shocks, what transports must have been produced when in burning words they issued from the lips of a hero. --Romain Rolland, famed 19th-century author

Product Description

It is said in the practice of Vedanta that we have a right to work, but don't have a right to the results of our actions. We have to work as hard as we can, give the work our best quality effort, then step back and let the results take care of themselves. Or in the practice of yoga, offer the results to God.Work purifies the soul. This concept is a bit different than many of us have been taught in the West, but the book offers an interesting approach that can save us from a lot of misery and bring us closer to God. In fact, you don't even need to believe in God to practice this yoga.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to Work and Sirituality, September 28, 1999
By sramesh@clemson.edu (Clemson, SC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Karma-Yoga (Paperback)
'Karma Yoga' shows that we can attain the so called self-realization through just sheer hard work. You need not go to the mountains and meditate to attain self-realization, just by proper attitude and hard work one can achieve this. Reading this book alone is not enough, unless one follows what is said in the book, it will be difficult the appreciate the contents. Though it is a small, consise and easy-to-read book, the reader should have some sort of background on ancient Hindu Scriptures, otherwise certain sections of 'Karma Yoga' may be difficult to comprehend.
