Description

This 1901 work by Rajaram Tookaram contains a detailed guide to Rāja yoga. Also known as “royal yoga”, “royal union”, “sahaj marg”, “classical yoga”, and “aṣṭāṅga yoga”, Rāja yoga refers to both the ultimate aim of yoga and way of reaching it. This vintage book comprises the most important treatises of Shrimat Shankaracharya, together with other writings by renowned scholars related to the subject. “A Compendium of the Raja Yoga Philosophy” constitutes a must-read for anyone with an interest in yoga and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “Shrimat Shankaracharya’s Aprokshanubhui”, “Shrimat Shankaracharya’s Atmanatma Viveka”, “Shrimat Shankaracharya’s Atma Bodha”, “Shri Vákyasudha”, “Vedant Sara of Sadanand Swami, a Resumé of the Vedanta Philosophy”, “Shrimat Shankaracharya’s Crest Jewel of Wisdom”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
