Adi Sankara’s Yoga Taravali

For those who have read his works like vivekachudamani, these few verses do a great job of corroborating the fact that the even though the body (inclusive of its senses) is not the identity of an individual ,is still a divine chariot that plays a part towards self realization. This is NOT A BOOK ABOUT YOGA POSES (hath yoga). In his own beautiful poetic sense Sri adi shakara has also about how aspects of raja-yoga do play and important role particularly with the (dare I say , for the overly abused and misunderstood kundalini ) pranic forces. Desikachar is such a brilliant teacher and this book has done nothing but establish his understanding of yoga from a deeper philosophical perspective. For those who love to read and understand deeply what our ancestors especially shankaracharya has to say, this is a must have.
