Yoga:
The Ultimate Spiritual Path
By
Swami Rajarshi Muni
Price: $14.95
Celtic
Connection Price $13.95
When you hear the word yoga, you probably think of slow, gentle
stretching and breathing exercises. But the Indian system of yoga encompasses
much more than the exercise-based hatha yoga. Yoga is the process of
harmonizing body, mind, and spirit with the ultimate goal liberation from
samsara, the wheel of death and rebirth.
Over five thousand years
ago, Indian sages first wrote of yoga in the Rig-Veda. The system of yoga was
developed and passed down primarily through oral teachings from teacher to
student in an unbroken tradition for thousands of years, much as it is to this
day. These ancient teachings were virtually unknown in the West until the
twentieth century.
Yoga: The Ultimate Spiritual Path is a guide to the
philosophy and metaphysics of yoga for the serious seeker and scholar. It is not
a "quick guide to enlightenment," for true liberation is inaccessible to all but
a few dedicated seekers in this lifetime.
Author Swami Rajarshi Muni
clearly explains the history and development of Indian philosophical and
religious thought, the six schools of Indian philosophy, the causes of bondage
and suffering, the theory of karma and karmic law, and the levels and function
of human consciousness. For those interested in basic preparatory exercises,
this book also includes guidelines for beginning yogic practices such as the
yamas and niyamas, pranayama, and beginning
meditation.
Swami Rajarshi Muni is an Indian yogi who writes with the
authority of years of intensive study and practice, resulting in direct personal
experience of the transcendental truths of yoga. He has devoted himself to
serious yoga study since the 1950s. After renouncing the world to receive
Sannyas initiation in 1971, he now lives in India in seclusion.
