To Know Yourself by Swami Satchidananda
When you know yourself--your true Self--then you know everything, and you understand everyone. It's not easy. It takes work and perseverance. But even that effort can be joyous, and when that realization dawns, you will enjoy your own true nature, which is always peaceful and happy. The Yoga teachings in this book show you the way to know your true Self and help you on your path. Peace of mind and happiness is our birthright. We are all happiness personified, noble and beautiful souls, each with a unique service. The straightforward teachings contained in this book can help you to free yourself from all unhappiness and discover who you are essentially so you can live that in all joy.
Sri Swami Satchidananda was one of the first Yoga masters to bring the classical Yoga tradition to the West. He taught Yoga postures, meditation, and a vegetarian and more compassionate lifestyle to westerners when he was invited to America in 1966 by the iconic pop artist Peter Max. The distinctive teachings he brought with him blend the physical discipline of Yoga, the spiritual philosophy of Vedic literature, and the interfaith ideals he pioneered. These techniques and concepts influenced a generation and a spawned Yoga culture that is flourishing today. The organization founded on his teachings, Integral Yoga International, is now a leading institute for Yoga teacher certification. Integral Yoga is the foundation for Dr. Dean Ornish's landmark work in reversing heart disease and Dr. Michael Lerner's noted Commonweal Cancer Help program. Sri Swami Satchidananda is the author of many books on Yoga and is the subject of the 2008 documentary, Living Yoga.
