Sris Chandra Vasu
Published in 1895, this special, early treatise on Hatha yoga, is ideal for the yoga practitioner or anyone interested in the history and mythology of the practice. Divided into seven Lessons or Chapters, the book teaches Yoga under seven heads or SÄdhanas. The first gives directions for the purification of the Body (inside and out). The second relates to Postures, third to MudrÄs, the fourth to PratyÄhÄra, the fifth to PrÄá¹‡ÄyÄma, the sixth to DhyÄna, and the seventh to SamÄdhi. These are taught successively--a chapter being devoted to each. We are republishing this vintage work in a modern and affordable edition, complete with a newly written introduction.
