From the Jacket

The hallmark of India was the power and profundity of her mind and the purity of her soul. Indian sages have already designed a perfect way to attain elevation of mind & move towards truth through a comprehensive system of Yoga. Yoga offers a methodology to understand our self better on all levels, including our physical well- being, the thought process, emotions & desires. The Yoga aspirant can bring out the best in his personality by creating unison in thought, speech and action in the most positive way. Staying young and potent throughout life is possible with Kundalini Yoga, an exotic science that uses the physical body to mobilize all the cosmic energies of the universe. The experience of meditation is so powerful & fulfilling that it helps to transcend the pains & sorrows of life. As we progress in Yoga, the heart expands to embrace all Creation, the ultimate state of love being the love for the cosmos.

The author has produced this masterful work with his unique blend of research, intelligence, skill & own experience. The book unfolds the fundamental esoteric & core principles of Yoga & Kundalini Tantra. It elaborates on the techniques of healing the inner system by practice of meditative postures, breath- regulation, purification of physical & inner bodies & energy channels including Sushumna activation, mastering the mental faculties (Chitta—shuddhi), invocation of the Patron Deity (Ishta-Deva), dissolving the Tattvas (Bhuta—shuddhi), recitation of Mantras, activation of energy centres (Chakras) & awakening the latent Kundalini (potential energy) at the Muladhara, the lowest centre in the spinal column.

The book is embellished with plenty of coloured and black 'n' white illustrations.
