See all formats and editions
A yogi is a term for a person who practices various forms of the path of Yoga, maintaining a steadfast mind, the process of transcending the lower self. These designations are mostly reserved for advanced or daily practitioners. The Shiva-Samhita text defines the yogi as someone who knows that the entire cosmos is situated within his own body.

5.0 out of 5 stars Survey of yoga from India
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2018
Swami Abhedananda (1866- 1939) came to America at the request of his famous brother monk Swami Vivekananda (1863- 1902). He came to know many famous western intellectuals such as Max Mueller, Paul Deussen and William James. This book is a compilation of lectures given to American students of yoga. Yoga is part of the Hindu religion and philosophy. The chapters are: (1) Introduction (2) What is Yoga (3) Hatha Yoga (4) Raja Yoga (5) Karma Yoga (6) Bhakti Yoga (7) Jnana Yoga (8) Science of Breathing and (9) Was Christ a Yogi. A theme is that knowledge, whether science, philosophy or psychology, has to have utility and must be practical otherwise they are useless. Yoga then has to be studied, learned and practiced.

This 1940 book influenced the life of Yogi Berra, perhaps the greatest baseball managers ever. Read this book, it will change your life, like it did his!

Amazing read! Beautiful and systematic explanation of the types of yoga and their inter-connectedness..

As Einstein once said, the definition of genius (or in this case, the enlightened one) is taking the complex and making it simple.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speaks to the inner truth of one's core.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2014

Although a book of it's time and slightly strange in the way it is worded for modern use, the truths and insights of human desire to be at peace in abundance, receiving from an infinite intelligent source, without harm to others is intrinsic in all of us.
Learning to let go of desire and ego, to be mindful of God or Universal Creative force, to become a better human being and progress by allowing Grace to overcome Karma is the general teaching of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist and Christian Faiths.
Well worth a read.

Just the book I was searching for, my inner desires on a paper and my thrust for knowledge summarised in this one small book. How wonderful.
