Summary
B. K. S. Iyengar is considered one of yoga's key contemporary figures, and this valuable book is assembled from a series of his lectures. Here he clears up a lot of misconceptions about the different branches of the practice (Kundalini, Hatha, etc.) by stressing the paths by which these branches lead to the same trunk, the one spirit. Yoga has eight "limbs" and each reflects different sides of the same journey, starting with the laws of society and leading up to the laws by which the soul merges with a higher universal consciousness. By emphasizing the interconnectedness of each style, Iyengar shows how the principles of yoga can inform and enrich every aspect of life. Individual chapters address issues of personal relationships at all aspects of life, including the birth and raising of children, transcending sickness, taking care of elders, the death of parents, even accepting one's own death. Having already written a key Hatha yoga guide (THE LIGHT ON YOGA) in 1966, Iyengar in this book focuses instead on explaining the connection of the asanas (poses) to the ancient sutras (texts) of Patanjali, in a refreshingly bold and exuberant manner.

Yoga Mala
by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
Chakras
by Harish Johari
In the ancient science of tantra, the human body is viewed as the most perfect instrument for the expression of consciousness, a perfection realized through the development of psychic centers known as chakras. Located within the cerebrospinal system, the chakras are the stage upon which the interaction between higher consciousness and desire is played out. Consequently, it is through understanding and utilizing the energies of the chakras that we ultimately reach an enlightened state of being. In CHAKRAS, Indian scholar and tantra practitioner Harish Johari introduces the classical principles of the chakras as well as their practical application for today. In this expanded edition, complete with new art and text, he unfolds the mysteries of these subtle centers of transformation with visualization techniques essential to a fully realized tantric practice. Unlike other books in its field, CHAKRAS provides the tools to activate these centers of transformative energy and elevate one's intellectual knowledge to an experience of spiritual growth. Meditating on the beautiful, full-color illustrations of each chakra vitalizes the cerebrospinal centers and harmonizes the entire system both physically and psychically. Explanations of each chakra elaborate on the chakra's connection to elements, colors, sounds, sense and work organs, desires, planets and deities, as well as on behavioral characteristics and particular effects of meditation. For scholars and spiritual aspirants of every level, CHAKRAS is an invaluable, practical source of information and techniques. About the Book * Revised and expanded edition of the classic work on chakras by the renowned Indian scholar and tantra practitioner. * Over 35,000 copies of the original edition sold. * Includes full-color illustrations of the chakras to be used with the meditation exercises in the book and provides the tools necessary to activate these centers of transformative energy.
