Description
Book SynopsisWhy have the yoga teachers of the modern world chosen to reduce yoga to a system of gymnastic fitness and compromised its true essence by completely distorting it to fit into the modern lifestyle? Is asana all about physical exercises? Is pranayama all about curing diseases? Is meditation all about stress management? After practising many years of the modern therapeutic styles of yoga with some of the most renowned contemporary teachers with their numerous claims of authenticity, the author's incessant desire for spiritual-awareness was never addressed. Until, one day an old ascetic perceived the urgency of his quest and took him to the remote caves of the Himalayas. "Sivananda Buried Yoga" is about personal journey of the author & the discoveries of the stunning realities of yoga.
Trade ReviewA"This book is like a light, if you stand behind it, it will illuminate your path as far as you can see, but if you confront it, it will surely blind you.A" Swami Achutanand, Ashram at Kamet, HimalayasA"If there were a 10 stars rating, the book deserves it. The story traces the yogi's journey from a seeker to his spiritual maturity under the guidance of his guru, and subsequent departure to fulfill his karmic role as a teacher himself. Packed full of wisdom the yogi gleaned from his masters and his own practice and told with the transparent purity of a mountain spring. It unveils and illuminates what yoga truly is and the light it shines is one that not only touches the soul but firmly imprints itself as the voice of truth. A great book.A" Amazon.co.uk
