(Salutation to Âdinâtha (Śiva) who expounded the knowledge of Haṭha Yoga)
Today on the day, When World is celebrating International Yoga Day, I’ll recommend one of the Best Books on Yoga.
We always think about body, but a human is made of body, mind, spirit and soul. A human has endless possibilities. His potential is beyond imagination.
This Book starts with Basic Asanas and move to advance yoga. You will understand why purification of body is required before purification of mind.
This book is divided into four parts :
1. Chapter One–Asana
2. Chapter Two–Shatkarma and Pranayama
3. Chapter Three–Mudra and Bandha
4. Chapter Four–Samadhi
All Verse started with Sanskrit Salokas followed by Detailed Explanations and wherever required with illustrations.
Yoga helps to maintain good health and keep body and mind fit. But it’s ultimate purpose is to prepare humans to attain higher state of consciousness. Wishing you all Happy International Yoga Day with Hope, You will find this book useful and give you a new insight to rethink about your life, your body, mind, spirit & soul. Thanks.
