Vasiha's Yoga (Special Paper; 27)

The Concise Yoga Vasistha a clear, provocative summary of one of the leading texts of Hinduism. Swami Venkatesananda continues the long tradition of elaborating on and clarifying the teachings of the sage Vasistha. It captures the verve of the original text while eliminating needless repetition. For the specialist, this book makes available a handy guide to the original Sanskrit without sacrificing philosophical depth. To the comparative religionist, it provides an occasion for understanding how Hinduism has been able to accommodate seemingly opposite schools of thought without giving way to the platitudes which mar many syncretic movements.

The Concise Ramayana Valmiki

Religion & Spirituality

Hinduism

There are many spiritually elev ated people in the world, b ut not many levitating yogis: and the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali Maharishi are meant to elevate the spirit of every man, not to teach him how to levitate. This is clea rly the gospel of enlightened living, neither an escape from life nor a hallucinatory “light”. The attempt in this little book has been to expose that gospel, to avoid technicalities, and to relate the whole yoga-philosophy to the ordinary and simple daily life of everyone.
