‘The House of Wisdom
Yoga Spirituality of the East and West’
Swami Dharmananda and Santoshan Read extracts from the book
“Yoga practices are about the inward journey towards
truth, knowledge, understanding and wisdom,
and the joining of our individual being
with the Divine Light of God.”
-
Yoga is primarily a spiritual practice. The House of Wisdom is filled with encouraging insights into personal and spiritual growth. It draws on a variety of great wisdom traditions, especially Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity, as well as on transpersonal psychology, and points the way forward for living life more skilfully and creatively.
The first half covers starting out on the spiritual path, the problems along the way and the mystic understanding of the authentic Self. The second looks more closely at the yogic tradition, with crucial chapters on mantra, paths to the sacred and the classic Eightfold Path of Yoga. Various exercises and practices for relaxation and discovering and harmonising the spiritual whole of ourselves are included.
“This goes to the heart of spiritual wisdom. It is destined to become an important classic.”
