YOGA

"It is by studying the microcosm that we can understand the

macocosm; it is though our own impermanent being that we can

reach the Universal Being. It is in the caven of our heart that we

can realize the immensity of spaces, and by controlling our own

vital rhythms that we can escape the power of time. It is by

reaching the source of life that we can escape the power of death.

It is by exploring the unknown spheres within ourselves that we

can visit the celestial and infenal worlds. "

- The Author

One of the most distinguished living Orientalists, Alain Danielou spent

more than twenty years in India studying music and philosophy with

eminent pandits of the Hindu tradition. In this book he gives a fully

authentic account - based entirely on original published and unpublished

Sanskrit sources -of the methods of Yoga in its diferent forms, including

techniques of the more challenging "let-hand" paths. Of special interest

is his insight into the unique requirements and and capacities of today's

aspirant and the specific practices appropriate to Western students.

Danielou is also the author of the acclaimed Gods of India, Shlva and

Dionysus, and While The Gds Play.
