PREFACE
Almost five decades back we started the teaching of yoga and meditation. It has helped thousands improve their physical and mental health. There has been improvement in personal and social lives of so many.
To make a wider public benefit from these age old holistic systems, we set out to publish a trilogy: a comprehensive set of books on yoga and meditation, without frills. To give a scientific outlook on the science of yoga in an attempt to help sincere seekers lead a truly fruitful life.
The first book was an introduction to yoga and meditation. Emphasis was on the physical through hatha yoga techniques with an introduction to meditation. Our second book delved deeper into the intricacies of Meditation as a spiritual practice.
This present book completes the trilogy we set out to publish. It provides an ‘encyclopedia’ of yoga postures. All the postures were experienced firsthand during meditation. They have not been ‘copied’ from anywhere.
Taken together the three volumes give a comprehensive picture of yoga and meditation.
We have included a supplement on Jet, the miracle pet, whose body stayed intact months after burial. It is an event unique in the field of spirituality. She had been my constant companion for nine short years. After her demise she was buried on the ashram premises. Her body was removed from her grave five months later in an intact state. She is still present at the ashram. This book coincides with the date of her disinterment on July 9, 1994, some twenty five years back.
