Georg Feuerstein , September 15, 1998
Summary of over
30 years of research
This heavily illustrated 720-page book is my most important work to
date. It is a comprehensive overview of the Yoga tradition (covering the
Hindu, Buddhist, Jaina, and Sikh forms of Yoga). It includes complete translations
of the Yoga-Sutra, Shiva-Sutra, Narada's Bhakti-Sutra, and Goraksha-Paddhati,
as well as partial renderings of many other Yoga scriptures ranging from
the ancient Rig-Veda to late medieval works and covering Raja-Yoga, Hatha-Yoga,
Jnana-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Tantra-Yoga, and a great deal more.
This volume is based on the long out-of-print "Yoga: The Technology of
Ecstasy," which was a favorite with many Yoga students. In its present
form, it is safe to say that this book contains something for everyone.
I welcome reader's feedback. |
