Review:A well written book with facts and opinions explained in context of situation. This book made me re-think of a lot of ideas I earlier has about Gandhi. Though, I do not agree with many of his experiments, he does make one believe that his motive after every one of them was finding the truth of things. The universality of compassion towards all beings is infectious. Read more

Review:I have never read any works of Hindu philosophy or religion, but I found this work to be presented clearly and explained well. There were a few places where I got tripped up by terminology, but 95% of the time the terms were clearly explained and the text behind it was made clear, even to a novice like me. I can't speak about the other versions of this text, but I can say that this version was accessible and understandable. If you're looking to enhance your knowledge of the world, its people, an...

Review:This was a good book. I had read "Autobiography of a Yogi" which style was very humble and forthright. I did not get the same from this book because I thought the author was just slightly arrogant about his knowledge and status. Left me wondering if he was "true". However, I am a little like "doubting Thomas". Read more

Review:This new edition of Light on Yoga goes deeply into Iyengar's method. The improved design, with more attractive typeface, is a vast improvement over previous editions. Detailed analysis of each asana and philosophy on every pose. An essential for serious Iyengar practice. Read more

Review:This book is short as many reviewers point out. However, it is not short on wisdom. In fact, it is loaded with powerful insights, analogies and examples that illustrate universal truths. It also embraces the reality of mystery and paradox. It doesn't try to explain them away and encourages the reader to avoid killing the "alivenss" of the world by putting too many things in boxes (i.e. concepts). Instead, it encourages an attitude of openness, wonder and awe at the miracle of life and seeki... Read more

Review:I really enjoy these cards! I am really into chakras and find the connections between the concepts and the various chakras really fun and relevant. I have used these on myself and others, my mom even bought herself a set because she loved them so much. I find using journal to reflection on connections and revelations I have made to be the most beneficial way to use these cards...of course the best approach is different for everyone. I have been trying to incorporate mediation more into my daily ... Read more

Review:Bhagavad-Gita or, The Song Celestial (From the Mahabharata).

This is an excellent treatment of millenia-old Hindu religious thought for the modern day thinking man. The main body of the book is Lord Krishna's explanation to his life-long friend and champion archer Arjun of life's purpose. I heartily recommend it to any reader interested in obtaining an overview of one of India's greatest philosophical works! Read more

Review:I love this book. I frequently "gift" it to people whom I adore...in all ways....

Original? Perhaps. What made a difference in my life was the focus on not letting our pain and defenses of the past cloud our present reality and future life. Staying open is very hard! I'm struggling with it yet again today and why I am again thinking of this book. Our past will shape our future if we can't relearn to live openly.

Oh how great this book is. I need to re-read it periodically to ... Read more

Review:The presents an eight point program for effective meditation. His program demonstrates the fundamentals of a good meditation regimen. I am not convinced that this particular style is the best for everyone but there are aspects that can be used to enhance an existing practice. I found the section on mantras interesting and it was refreshing that the author did not insist on any particular number of repetitions. Walking meditation is amazing and adding a mantra enriches the experience. There is a ... Read more
