पुस्तक विवरण (Book Details)

Asan and Yog Vigyan

It is rare to find a book elsewhere that covers so many facets of yoga with such scientific depth and in such simple, accessible language. It offers an authoritative explanation not only of the theories but also of the practices—addressing questions such as: What is the mystery behind the human body's structure? What is ‘Prana Shakti’ (vital energy), and if it resides within us, where is its headquarters? Yoga is the science of purifying the mind and the body; what are the yogic processes for internal and external purification? How can mysterious energy be cultivated through ‘Pranayama’? What are the ‘Tattvas’ (elements), and how and where do ‘Tattva Mudras’ exert their immediate effects? What is the significance of meditation, the simple methods to practice it, and the attainments associated with it? What are the eight stages of yoga? Each is clearly and comprehensively detailed. Along with the techniques of ‘Yogasanas’, special emphasis is placed on their significant effects and benefits. How does ‘Yoga Nidra’ enable us to experience conscious relaxation? How can ‘Tratak’ awaken the dormant powers of the mind? What is required to lead a prayerful life? How important is ‘Yuktahar’ (balanced diet) in yoga? All such important topics are skillfully explained. What is ‘Antarmaun’ (inner silence), and how should it be practiced? These topics are also covered. How do mental tendencies shift after practicing yoga—specifically, how does one find the inspiration to move towards ‘Nishkam Karma’ (selfless action)? This is a unique book that facilitates the understanding, practice, and experiential realization of yoga. Its appeal is further enhanced by an accessible style and the inclusion of over a hundred illustrations.
