Essential Mantras of Yoga Sādhana with Meaning and Detailed Commentary.

The journey of a Yoga enthusiast begins with a steep ramp of prayers, postures, and meditation. Little time is spent learning the deep meaning of prayers chanted before and after the Aṣṭāṅga. These Saṃskṛtam prayers, usually from Vedas, Upaniṣads, and Bhagavad-Gītā, can be hard for a beginner to understand. A vast majority of resources provide a cursory, incomplete, and incorrect meaning of the mantras. There has been a long-felt need for a handbook that consolidates and describes Yoga and all the Yoga mantras. This book is a practitioner’s guide meant for beginners and experts alike. Starting with an explanation of basic concepts of Yoga, the book describes the various mantras used in Yoga without any inaccuracy in form or meaning. The meaning of each mantra is followed by a detailed description and commentary. The illuminating commentaries are based on explanations provided by Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras, Vyāsa, Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, and Sāyaṇā.

A ready reckoner in your fruitful journey of Yoga Sādhana!
