The book contains nine talks delivered by the author and one Question-Answer Session conducted by her. The contents of the book revolve round the point that life is neither individual nor collective but one indivisible whole. The writer asks us to brush aside our age-old concepts of dividing life into individual and collective, the inner and the outer, the physical and the psychological in order to escape from nervous tensions or chemical pressures that characterize the activities of Man of this age. The writer traces the cause of our misery to our ignorance of the mechanism of mind, the chemistry of thoughts and emotions and the imbalances that shatter our nervous system, and advises us for a clear understanding of our mental processes, the relaxation of the mind, the cessation of its activities-- the Ego or the `I` consciousness. In this state of total relaxation a new quality of intelligence begins to function. With the mind relaxed, the aspirant rises above Ego, is freed from worldly desires and becomes established in God. This unique contribution to yogic science constitutes remedies for our thousand ills and sufferings and will be welcomed by the reader.

<p>Blossoms of Friendship introduces the Yoga Wisdom Classics series from Rodmell Press. This book is a collection of talks given by Vimala Thakar, in 1973, in Mount Abu, India. In the style of Krishnamurti, she describes the subtle differences between the states of concentration, attention, awareness, and meditation, and discusses the roles of guide, teacher, master, and guru. In the Foreword, publisher Donald Moyer writes that Vimala Thakar's insights provide a clear exegesis of the last three stages of the eightfold yogic path: dharana, dhyana, and samadhi. For students who wish to deepen their understanding of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, these talks will be especially welcome</p>

<p>Vimala Thakar gave a series of inspired talks on the Bhagavad Gita in three separate seminars, during 1992 and 1993 in Italy. To her Bhagavad Gita is very sacred because it deals with the organic wholeness of life; and the inbuilt complexity of life, It affirms the interplay between the micrecosm and macrocosm and persuadesus to remain united with the ultimate reality, not only to intellectual understanding, but through everything that we do, at every moment.</p>
