Publisher's summary

What yoga can do?

Yoga at last is coming into its own in the Western world. After many years of being dismissed as a bizarre cult attractive only to eccentrics, it is today recognized as a fundamental art and skill. More than that, many of its most bitter opponents - people who were among the first to cry down yogic culture - have now embraced it as a way of life.

The ancients who formulated the science of yoga were way ahead of us in our modern world of stress and hurry. Recognizing thousands of years ago man's basic need for discipline to counteract the physical and spiritual deterioration caused by the mere fight for survival, they evolved a science which is at once as ancient as India herself and as modern as the space age.

The law of yoga is the law of life. Yoga embodies the secrets of successful living and combines profound and age-old truths with a way of life acceptable to the modern mind. It was evolved from the Veda, one of the most ancient scriptural books known to mankind, in which Indian saints and sages taught that the universe is one and that all religions are paths ascending the same mountain toward Eternal Truth. The great modern saint Sri Ramakrishna is often quoted as saying, "As many faiths, so many paths."

But yoga is not a religion; nor is it a mystic cult. It is a Hindu system of philosophic meditation and asceticism designed to effect the reunion of the devotee's soul with God. It is a philosophy which integrates the individual life and the world surrounding us to achieve a basic harmony and equilibrium in the heart and mind of man.
