Part of The Eternal Tradition Series for Human Excellence, this first volume is a clear exposition on the classic and authentic yoga of the great masters who developed, experimented with, and validated its various systems while spending their lifetime in meditation in remote locations. Although yoga finds its references only in the scriptures of India, many techniques practiced in different parts of the world and in various spiritual traditions are also part of yoga, as they aim at changing consciousness, transcending the limitations of the mind and intellect, and merging with the Infinite. The eternal tradition transcends the barriers of cults, dogma, belief, lifestyles, languages, gender, and even species. It is a journey begun which never comes to an end as the all-pervading, ultimate consciousness constantly manifests in us in infinite ways and means for human excellence. A journey untold from confusion to fusion, dispeling ignorance and dissolving all sufferings and problems.

The first section, The Eternal Tradition for Human Excellence, recounts the birth of yoga, defines what it is and what it is not, and retraces its journey from India to the rest of the world.

The second section, Secrets of Yoga revealed, explores the deeper meaning of yogic philosophy and psychology which are usually neglected in the West.

The third section, Applied Yoga, is a practical guide on how to integrate a spiritual routine in our daily life.

The fourth section, Yoga, Science, and Spirituality, presents an integrated model of anatomy, physiology, diet, and exercise from the viewpoint of both allopathic medicine and yoga-ayurveda.

The fifth section, Life Speaks of Itself, presents yoga as seen through the eyes of great sages, and through famous parabes and teaching tales.

The last section, Experiment, Experience, and Realize, gives practical guidelines to live yoga @ home, @ work, @ school, and anytime anywhere.
