A comprehensive yet utterly engaging book on meditation, Yoga and other spiritual practices, with special reference to Patanjali. The book discusses in depth finding a genuine spiritual teacher, meditation techniques, Japa, over-coming spiritual obstacles, Yoga, Samkhya philosophy, stages of spiritual growth, levels of illumination, and how to remove stress.
The book is an enlightening read - I've never read the Yoga Sutras so cannot comment on that but I believe the author does a very good job of explaining in lay terms the essence of the great Patanjali's writings. The book also has illustrated simple activities which can be implemented in our very lives to attain peace and tranquility. Entirely accessible and much recommended.
