Pain is a harsh reality with which we are all familiar. At times, many of us can feel bogged down by the daily struggles and the stresses of life, unsure if there is anything such as true peace. Pantajali's Yoga Sutras has long been recognised as an infallible guide to discovering the eternal joy and ultimate freedom that the great masters declare to be the birthright of every human being. In THE PRACTICE OF THE YOGA SUTRA, Pandit Tigunait elaborates on Patanjali's succinct and straightforward plan to transcend pain and embrace lasting happiness. He points out the obstacles, both known and unknown, that prevent us from creating and living the life we dream of and assures us that we are destined to discover our pure being and experience lasting joy. In this much anticipated sequel to The Secret of the Yoga Sutra , Pandit Rajmani Tigunait combines his rigorous scholarly understanding of yoga philosophy with the knowledge gained through decades of advanced yoga practice. Through this lens he demonstrates how Patanjali's systematic 8-part plan for mastering the roaming tendencies of the mind opens the door to infinite possibilities, ushering us into a vibrant experience of ourselves as the highest expression of the joy of our creator.

The autobiography of Swami Rama with 24-page photo insert

On the surface this book is a biography of a great sage of the Himalayas who mastered the practices of yoga and brought to the West a system for understanding the mysteries of body mind and spirit. But like the life of Swami Rama these pages go much deeper than a mere sequence of astonishing events. Through stories of the authentic and fruitful guru-disciple relationships Swami Rama had with both his mysterious master Baba Dharam Das and his own students you will see how the precious stream of spiritual tradition is transmitted through the generations. These pages also serve as a guide to the more esoteric and advanced practices of yoga and tantra not commonly taught or understood in the West. They bring you to holy places in India revealing why these sacred sites are important and how to go about visiting them. The wisdom in these stories penetrates beyond the power of words. As you read Pandit Tigunait's tales of life with his master and see how a committed student actually draws knowledge and nourishment from his teacher you will feel a few drops from the timeless stream of the traditions of the Himalayas planting themselves in your own heart.
