This book is a compilation of knowledge acquired through several years deep studyand immersion into the esoteric and philosophical sides of Yoga. Yoga is of course afull time activity when we understand it properly and it is one if the subjects that aswe study it reveals more and more to us, an endless study of our own true innermostnature.

The book takes us through the stages of Raja Yoga and Asht-anga Yoga, the eight yogicsteps to enlightenment and then includes many other concepts that are key foundationknowledge the serious Yoga sadhaka should try to understand. The book completeswith some mantras that one can use for their own practice and a literal translation ofthe Yoga Sutras ancient sanskrit scriptures codified by Yogamaharishi Patanajai. EachSutra is translated word for word to allow some of our own interpretation into thesense these give us when put together into Sutras. This book will I hope bring some reminder to Yoga Practitioners that the true practiceof Yoga is very much 'off the mat' a modern phrase which in itself reveals how muchYoga has come away from its roots as it had little to do with mats for a start Thisbook and the lessons and stories within it I hope to inspire Yoga Sadhaks to keep intouch with the roots and philosophical studies alongside the more widely practicedAsana work, which should be only a small part of this great holistic science. | Exploring Yoga Philosophy by Yogachariya Jnandev Giri, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
