The Yoga of Sage Vasishta

Good book with good service. the seller is very friendly and co-operative. must buy books from him. Thanks to you

Exemplary summary of a great work, explained in simple language by a great master.I hai jinke it's a great aid to any yoga aspirant.

On going through the ad I was under the impression that this book would contain the text of Yoga Vasishtam. I am disappointed by a low rated review on the great book.

The Yoga Vasistha is a very large book containing 32,000 verses and running two thousand pages. Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati has written a very good summary of the main issues, ideas, and instructions in the YV.The Swami divides his discussion in four parts.The first part is the despondency of Lord Rama. This is big issue in the YV. Spiritual yearning, the desire to change one’s spiritual and mental outlook, is a necessary first step to Self-Realization.The second part discusses the path to liberation. The Swami discusses the four requirements to liberation: peace; reflection; contentment; and positive association.The third part discusses the transformation of the worshiper’s identity. A person is a reflection of the greater universe. In this part the Swami discusses the four types of human ego and how they correspond to and are transformed to a transcendent, spiritual ego.The fourth part discusses the path to perfection in life. Here the Swami discusses how that perfection is attained through yoga and knowledge.The Yoga Vasistha is a beautiful but frequently overlooked work. Reading this classic is daunting due to its size but rewarding. For the majority of us with no time to devote to study this great work, the Swami’s summary is the next best substitute.

A useful book succinctly describing Sanskrit technical terms for dummies like me.
