The Deeper Meaning of Yoga: A Fresh and Clarifying Guide to Yoga for the Modern Aspirant

There is and was a belief about Yoga to simply mean standing on the head, or stretching or something like specific breathing or sitting cross-legged in meditation keeping the back straight or chanting and perhaps experiencing psychic visions or hearing mystic sounds. This book stands out from other publications of the same genre asking the reader to keep a critical view, and to be aware of hyperbole and breath-taking exaggerations without creating a wall that prevents further growth. Known for his spiritual insight and subtle humor, Swami Abhedananda, aka Arjuna Schulenburg, presents clarifying concepts of mainstream Yoga with a fresh and interesting voice. The different and diverse paths of Yoga and teachings are likened to a diamond which has various facets, each properly understood; one can enjoy life more fully than ever before.
