It presents a simple definition of the philosophy of Hatha Yoga, together with a series of exercises, illustrated by photographs of the author, including Yoga Postures for Beginners, Main Postures of Yoga and Postures for Advanced Students.Yogi Gupta was President of the Kailashananda Mission on the banks of the Ganges.

Book excerpt: YOGA AND YOGIC POWERS is the first book of its kind ever written on Yoga that provides such penetrating insight into the thinking, life and powers of the Hindu Yogis. It also tells the readers unknown facts about themselves which they must know, if they wish to remedy the cause of their physical, mental and emotional problems. The book is so profusely illustrated with examples, experiences and guidance from the author's own life, that the reader will not only find it a deep facinating study of the mind and its powers, but also a warm inspiring story of one of the great Yogis of India, who taught in the United States from 1954 to 2009. Yogi Gupta was the president of the Kailashananda Mission, in Rishikesh, India, whose principal aim is to promote greater friendship between the two great democracies - The Republic of the United States of America and The Republic of India. The author reveals the innermost thoughts of millions of Hindus, their way of life, and their mystic experiences, and by broadening and deepening the reader's understanding of them he thus prepares a fertile ground for greater friendship between the two great nations. Avoiding the dry scholarly approach to his subject, Yogi Gupta explains and shows in an impressively simple yet scientific way, how an average person today may utilize the principles of developing and releasing powers of the mind for more successful and harmonious living. This science of Mental Culture (Yogic Powers), which was practiced and perfected and taught by the ancient Yogis in India 6,000 years ago, is vividly expounded in such chapters as: The Miracles of the Mind, Psychic Anesthesia, Saints with Psychic Powers, Mind's and Soul's Life in Space, Your Guardian Angel, Impulsive Urge For Wrong Doing, Fame and Fortune by Psychic Means, Protective Aura against Psychic Attack, Supersensory Perception, The Materialization of Masters at Will and Their Controlling the World's Destiny, plus a Two Month Course in Psychic Phenomena and a Two Year Course in Divine Perception - with full page photographs of the author. The author was the director of the Yogi Gupta New York Center, where he held regular lectures, classes and offered personal guidance to his disciples on he Path, to facilitate the comprehension and practice of these teachings in the West.

Download or read book Jivamukti Yoga written by Sharon Gannon and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited, complete guide to the popular, vigorous American method of yoga that is deeply rooted in ancient wisdom and scriptures “In this day and age of health and fitness trends, it is assuring to know that Sharon and David encourage their students to draw inspiration from the classical texts of Yoga and timeless scriptural sources. ”—Sri Swami Satchidananda Creators of the extremely popular Jivamukti Yoga method and cofounders of the New York City studios where it is taught, Sharon Gannon and David Life present their unique style of yoga for the first time in book form. As they explain their intensely physical and spiritual system of flowing postures, they provide inspiring expert instruction to guide you in your practice. Unlike many books about yoga, Jivamukti Yoga focuses not only on the physical postures but also on how they evolved—the origins of the practices in yoga’s ancient sacred texts and five-thousand-year-old traditions—the psychotherapeutic benefits that accrue with a steady practice, and the spiritual power that is set free when energy flows throughout the mind and body. Jivamukti Yoga, which means “soul liberation,” guides your body and soul into spiritual freedom, physical strength, peace of mind, better health, and Self-realization–the ultimate goal of any practice. Gannon and Life help you understand each of the practices that comprise the yoga path to enlightenment: AHIMSA–The Way of Compassion: choosing nonviolence, respecting all life, practicing vegetarianism, living free of prejudice ASANA–The Way of Connection to the Earth: postures and sequences, breathing, transforming energy, understanding the bandhas KARMA–The Way of Action: creating good karma, giving thanks NADAM–The Way of Sacred Music: appreciating the sacred sounds of yoga MEDITATION–The Way of the Witness: how to sit still and move inward BHAKTI–The Way of Devotion to God: living with love, grace, and peace Whatever yoga you practice, Jivamukti Yoga will help you to strengthen and deepen that practice and lead you onto a path of spiritual clarity and self-discovery. “If there is only one book you read about the practice of Yoga, this should be the one. . . . This book is for anyone who wishes to find transformation through Yoga. I’m grateful for their work and teaching.”—Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD, Co-founder & CEO, Omega Institute

Download or read book Light on Life written by B.K.S. Iyengar and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B.K.S. Iyengar--hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" (BBC) and considered by many to be one of the most important yoga masters--has spent much of his life introducing the modern world to the ancient practice of yoga. Yoga's popularity is soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic tradition can also offer. In Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar brings readers this new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey. Here Iyengar explores the yogic goal to integrate the different parts of the self (body, emotions, mind, and soul), the role that the yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness, the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path, and how yoga can transform our lives and help us to live in harmony with the world around us. For the first time, Iyengar uses stories from his own life, humor, and examples from modern culture to illustrate the profound gifts that yoga offers. Written with the depth of this sage's great wisdom, Light on Life is the culmination of a master's spiritual genius, a treasured companion to his seminal Light on Yoga.
