New Delhi 2019. 240 pages This is the most complete source on mantras, meditation, and other techniques of self-inquiry readily available. It is a psychological study, a guide for practice and a source of great learning. Written by the author of The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga, it reflects experiential knowledge devoid of a thousand inexperienced interpretations, and an uncanny insight into the western mind. The purpose of yoga is to suspend the flickering nature and internal dictations of the mind. Being free of the dictates and influence of the mind would allow one at least a glimpse into the spiritual reality that was discussed in the Sankhya system. Yoga, contrary to the popular perception, is not merely a system of physical culture. It is, in fact, a uniquely Indian discipline aiming to bring about the union of an individual spirit with the universal spirit: the cosmic consciousness -- through what in Yoga is known as samadhi, a state of profound meditation. Meditation offers time for relaxation and heightened awareness in a stressful world where our senses are often dulled. Research suggests that meditation has the potential for more than just temporary stress relief. The main objective of this book is to create more informed and conscious practitioners of Yoga. ‘Yoga and Meditation’ discusses the benefits of Yoga, both physical and spiritual, its types and methodology.
