T his book, The Yoga Tradition, is a mature rendering of Yoga, unlike other books in that, without submitting to the pitfalls of exclusivity, it preserves a deeply Hindu perspective. It outlines the end of the path as well as the path itself. While others see in Yoga a thousand techniques to be practiced and perfected toward a lofty spiritual attainment, Dr. Feuerstein intuits the Indian rishis revelation that it is not something we do but something we become and are. Yoga without the yogis all-comprehending consciousness is like the sun without heat and light. As the subject matter in this book is documented according to traditionremembering that tradition is the best of the past that has been preservedwe can assure ourselves that the advice and guidance here has been most useful to our forefathers, theirs, and the many generations that preceded them for thousands of years.

I am delighted to write this foreword to the new edition of The Yoga Tradition - photo 6

I am delighted to write this foreword to the new edition of The Yoga Tradition. Georg Feuerstein is the worlds foremost interpreter of Yoga, and his many books have guided hundreds of thousands around the world for over thirty years. This book is his crowning achievement for it gathers his many unique insights in one place. It is especially noteworthy because of its comprehensiveness, translations of original source materials, and positioning of Yogas many paths in a historical sweep.

We live in an age of unparalleled prosperity and anxiety. The words of the Roman poet Lucretius are quite apt for these times: From the midst of the fountain of delights rises something bitter that chokes them all amongst the flowers. The machines to whose rhythms we are required to adjust at workplace and home alienate us from our spirit. It is no wonder that many start believing that they are no different from these machines. Taking the self to be no more than the body, they see happiness coming only from sensations and acquisitions.
