Essential reading for anyone interested in higher understanding

Very good book.You will walk away with a wealth of useful practical knowledge. I recommend his whole series. For those looking to fill their brains with indian/eastern/hindu dogma this book is not for you....it filters out dogma, all the sanskrit language and hands you the pearls of eastern teachings. If you are interested in the colossal task of studying hinduism, read the Mahabharata :). But if u have a job this book will be a god place to start.

Fourteen Lessons by Yogi Ramacharaka

I found this little handbook to be of profound content. It's language and simplicity were refreshing by any standards. In a world of occult books that are very often next to indecipherable, this little gem, if thought about deeply, adds a wealth of information to the soul without compromising quality, depth or broadness of vision to it's simplicity. I LOVED this book and have read it over and over again. It's gifts of clarity and vision have altered my viewpoint drastically and forever. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone who seeks and for those who would like to find answers on a very deep level. It doesn't matter how far advanced you are on the path, this little gem sparkles from every where. Enjoy!

Each step is the beginning of a thousand different paths

This book is one of the first in a series of books that presents all areas of Yoga philosophy. To fully appreciate this book you must finish it as the last few chapters tie everything together. To fully appreciate the author, you must read the whole series of his books, which covers Hatha, Raja, Gnani etc. I believe the author would be the first to admit that in the volumes of books (eight, I believe) he has written, he has just scratched the surface. This is not a meditation book, but the beginning series of a foundation course in yoga philosophy that can make a difference in your life and make further study of yoga more meaningful.

Simply Stated Wisdom

A book that's worth the trouble of finding. This is an encouraging look at a way to live. The theme of acceptance and harmony are comforting. Oddly enough, I found myself realizing that I already practice many of the ideas outlined in the book. You'll want to re-read this one, to catch the pieces you missed the first time through.
