Yoga contrary to the popular perception is not merely a system of physical culture. It is in fact a uniquely Indian discipline aiming to bring about the union of an individual spirit with the universal spirit the cosmic consciousness through what in Yoga is known as samadhi a state of profound meditation. Patanjali's Yoga sutram written sometime around the second century BC is the first systematic at once authoritative presentation of Yoga in both its theoretical and practical aspects. Prof. N.C. Panda who has had a lifetime involvement with the science and practice of Yoga outlines the eight limbs of Patanjala Yoga with added emphasis on meditation in all its three stages dharana dhyana and samadhi and how this ancient system of bodily and mental control is found to have a strong scientific basis. Offered in three parts the book focuses in Part 1 one the practice of meditation with detailed guidelines concerning the relevant Yogic postures Yogic breathing and breath control. Part 2 presents Patanjali's classical Yogic theories showing how these are validated by modern science. In part 3 the author explains in pure scientific terms the physical psychic therapeutic and spiritual benefits surfacing from the practice of meditation. Comprising comprehensive glossary of Sanskrit technical terms and numerous illustrations it is invaluable to medical scientist/researchers/anyone interested in Yogic meditation and leading to a holistic healthy and creative life. 336 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 68719
