Download or read book Yoga written by Deepak Kashyap and published by Global Collective Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the forgotten art and science of healing: retrieved and reaped in easy steps. Equally, it is an attempt at interpreting the ancient Upanishadic wisdom through the author’s insight: showing the essential oneness of spirituality with the mind-body matrix. Layers of wisdom unravel as the author unfolds the science of Yoga: dispelling myths while reinforcing the Truth. Touching upon subjects of contemporary interest - Cosmic Energy, Reiki, Karma, Kundalini, Yoga, Health etc. - the book has a universal appeal. Of particular interest to the scientifically-inclined is the author’s juxtaposing of scriptural wisdom of the East with the West’s path-breaking findings in Quantum Physics, Probabilistic nature of the Universe, Psychoneuroimmunology and Parapsychology. That the author throws light on these esoteric matters through the prism of his spiritual experiences, lends the whole narrative a kind of authenticity not common in books of this genre. The highlight of the book is its ability to touch the yoga-inclined masses in their daily life and facilitate their ‘three-dimensional’ healing through easy-to-make forays in diet control, asana-pranayama, alternative therapy, meditation and karmic remedies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primary texts in yoga, from ancient times to today Yoga is a body of practice that spans two millennia and transcends the boundaries of any single religion, geographic region, or teaching lineage. In fact, over the centuries there have been many "yogas"—yogas of battlefield warriors, of itinerant minstrels and beggars, of religious reformers, and of course, the yogas of mind and body so popular today. Yoga in Practice is an anthology of primary texts drawn from the diverse yoga traditions of India, greater Asia, and the West. This one-of-a-kind sourcebook features elegant translations of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and even Islamic yogic writings, many of them being made available in English for the very first time. Collected here are ancient, colonial, and modern texts reflecting a broad range of genres, from an early medical treatise in Sanskrit to Upanishadic verses on sacred sounds; from a Tibetan catechetical dialogue to funerary and devotional songs still sung in India today; and from a 1930s instructional guide by the grandfather of contemporary yoga to the private papers of a pioneer of tantric yoga in America. Emphasizing the lived experiences to be found in the many worlds of yoga, Yoga in Practice includes David Gordon White's informative general introduction as well as concise introductions to each reading by the book's contributors.

Download or read book The Origins of Yoga and Tantra written by Geoffrey Samuel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga, tantra and other forms of Asian meditation are practised in modernized forms throughout the world today, but most introductions to Hinduism or Buddhism tell only part of the story of how they developed. This book is an interpretation of the history of Indic religions up to around 1200 CE, with particular focus on the development of yogic and tantric traditions. It assesses how much we really know about this period, and asks what sense we can make of the evolution of yogic and tantric practices, which were to become such central and important features of the Indic religious scene. Its originality lies in seeking to understand these traditions in terms of the total social and religious context of South Asian society during this period, including the religious practices of the general population with their close engagement with family, gender, economic life and other pragmatic concerns.
