Product Description

Product Description
The author is founder-director of the Yoga Research Center in Northern California and the author of 30 books on yoga. The present volume is a revised and greatly enlarged edition of the author's 1989 work, Yoga: The Technology of Ecstasy . Its objective is to give the lay reader a comprehensive int

From the Author
Summary of over 30 years of research
This heavily illustrated 720-page book is my most important work to date. It is a comprehensive overview of the Yoga tradition (covering the Hindu, Buddhist, Jaina, and Sikh forms of Yoga). It includes complete translations of the Yoga-Sutra, Shiva-Sutra, Narada's Bhakti-Sutra, and Goraksha-Paddhati, as well as partial renderings of many other Yoga scriptures ranging from the ancient Rig-Veda to late medieval works and covering Raja-Yoga, Hatha-Yoga, Jnana-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Tantra-Yoga, and a great deal more. This volume is based on the long out-of-print "Yoga: The Technology of Ecstasy," which was a favorite with many Yoga students. In its present form, it is safe to say that this book contains something for everyone. I welcome reader's feedback.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book on Yoga; rich, clear and well organized, 3 April 1999
By A Customer
I bought a copy of this book (softcover) and then gave it to my yoga teacher and bought the hardcover. We both love the book. It clearly explains many topics better than most other sources and has a clear organization for such a substantial reference. My first literary source now for Yoga guidance and clarity. thx & namaste

5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent book!, 18 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This book is sure to become a most valuable resource for all people who are interested in yoga, be it as scholars or laypeople. Feuerstein in the world's foremost authority on yoga and we much thank him for this magnificent book. It is clearly written and it incorporates the most recent insights from archaeology and literary analysis. Contains an important section on chronology!

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece!, 30 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is a historic publication that will for decades be the most authoritative source for anything on yoga, ranging from its roots to its nurturing within the traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. It is written in a very readable style, has a lot of illustrations, and it presents the translations from the originals of some key texts. Simply magnificent! This is a book everyone should have on their personal library shelves. It has also been nicely printed and designed.
