    <![CDATA[<strong>Book Description:</strong> <br/><br/>&quot;A yogi (Sanskrit, feminine root: yogini) is a term for a male who practices various forms of the path of Yoga, maintaining a steadfast mind, the process of transcending the lower self. These designations are mostly reserved for advanced or daily practitioners. In contemporary English yogin is an alternative rendering for the word yogi. This word is often used to describe Buddhist monks or any lay person or householder who is devoted to meditation. The Shiva-Samhita text defines the yogi as someone who knows that the entire cosmos is situated within his own body, and the Yoga-Shikha-Upanishad distinguishes two kinds of yogins: those who pierce through the &quot;sun&quot; (surya) by means of the various yogic techniques and those who access the door of the central conduit (sushumna-nadi) and drink the nectar.&quot; <em>(Quote from <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://wikipedia.org">wikipedia.org</a>)</em><br/><br/><strong>Table of Contents:</strong> <br/><br/>Publisher's Preface; Preface; Introductory; What Is Yoga?; Hatha Yoga; RÂja Yoga; Karma Yoga; Bhakti Yoga; JnÂna Yoga; Science Of Breathing; Was Christ A Yogi?<br/><br/><strong>About the Publisher:</strong> <br/><br/>Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, Esoteric and Mythology. www.forgottenbooks.org<br/><br/>Forgotten Books is about sharing information, not about making money.

    <![CDATA[The title's introductory chapter describes the true province of religion and the full significance of the word &quot;spirituality&quot; as it is understood in India. Next follows a comprehensive definition of the term &quot;Yoga,&quot; with short chapters on each of the five paths to which it is applied, and their respective practices. An exhaustive exposition of the Science of Breathing and its bearing on the highest spiritual development shows the fundamental physiological principles on which the whole training of Yoga is based; while a concluding chapter, under the title &quot;Was Christ a Yogi?&quot; makes plain the direct relation existing between the lofty teachings of Vedanta and the religious faiths of the West.]]>

    <![CDATA[Unlike many of the books on Spiritualism,the present work has a special feature of it's own.It's pages do not narrate the legends and tales of ghosts and other supernatural beings,as one in most cases finds in such books that claim to unveil the mystery of the world beyond the grave.The treatment of the subject is purely a scientific one,and it has taken a new departure from the prevailing methods and systems of presentation of the subject.  The present work is free from all prejudices and never subscribes to any of these blindly biased views.It has given an impartial or dispassionate view on spiritualism showing wisely and ably it's merits and demerits,it's bright and dark sides as well.All the problems of soul,pre-existence,immortality,reincarnation and eternality have been clearly solved by the Philosopher Saint Swami Abhedananda in these lectures in a remarkably lucid and characteristic style of his own.The Book,originally printed in the year 1944 has run into eight editions printed in 2005.]]>

    <![CDATA[This book is a collection of the lectures of Swami Abhedananda delivered before American students and audiences from January 2, 1906 through May 8, 1906 on the Katha Upanishad. It is not a book about departed souls and the afterlife as such, but explains the philosophy and religion found in the Katha Upanishad in connection with a dialogue between a young man who journeys to the house of death and Yama, the King and Ruler of Death. The publisher has added Sanskrit texts of the Katha Upanishad along with portions of Shankara's commentary in the footnotes.<br/>.]]>
