Ancient Philosophy for Modern Wisdom.
Mark Forstater's insightful 'Spiritual Teachings' continue with the first-ever collection of the wisdom of the yogic masters.
The beneficial effect of practising yoga is well-cited and further evident in its phenomenal growth in recent years. The ancient philosophy behind yoga practice, however, is less well known in the west.
In this spiritual book, the authors introduce the wisdom of yoga that leads to a way of life that is at least 5,000 years old in India. The word "yoga" means "union", and the teachings of yoga convey a union on all levels of being as the person is at one with itself, with the divine, and with nature.
Presenting the key philosophical texts from the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, the Vedas and the Upanishads in an accessible, poetic manner, this book explores the recurrent themes common to all schools of yoga - explaining how they can be incorporated into our lives to deepen the yoga experience.
