Abstract / Summary

Today’s popular concept of yoga equates it with hatha yoga and the practice of the asanas, or postures. While most practice yoga solely for health benefits, the knowlegeable few pursue it in hopes of reaping the spiritual benefits it offers. It is to these seekers who have higher consciousness as the goal of their yoga that this book is directed. Here you will discover ancient secrets and modern insights from the yoga tradition for building good character and self-discipline, the seldom-taught but indispensible first steps for knowing God within. It is an indepth discussion of the ancient yamas and niyamas, restraints and observances, by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami.
