Book Description
The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from Sanskrit root yuj which means ‘join’ or ‘unite’. This may be taken as the union of body, mind and soul, and is used in the literature both as an end as well as means. As an end, yoga signifies ‘integration of personality’ at the highest level. As means, yoga includes various practices and techniques which are employed to achieve the development of such integration. These practices and techniques are means in the yogic literature and are also referred collectively as ‘Yoga’.

Book Description
The science of Yoga according to Lord Dattatreya is a compendium of the Yogic practices followed during the ancient times. This book is in the form of a dialog between Lord Dattatreya and a seeker names Sankriti. A brief description of different paths.; Hatha, Laya, Mantra and Raja Yoga is given in this book. However the practices of Hatha Yoga are emphasized more. Lord Dattatreya is considered to be the incarnation of three divinities viz.; Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. He is a great Yogi and believed that he taught the knowledge of ‘Sri Vidya’to Lord Parasurama. For the followers of the paths of Siddha and Avadutha, he is the supreme master. The various sadhana paths briefly explained in this book have to be learned from a competent Guru as it is n0t possible to explain all hidden meaning in this book. We fell our efforts are not in vain if this little book makes reader practice Yoga diligently.

Book Description
Yoga is an ancient science and traced to Indus – Saraswathy Civilization of 5000 years and more. The rudiments of yoga were in practice for long in the Indian soil. Sage Patanjali’s ‘Yoga Sutra’ and ‘Hatha Yoga Pradipika’ by Yogi Swatmarama are veritable sources of knowledge and wisdom enshrined in Yoga philosophy. Thirumoolar’s ‘Thirumandhiram’ is one another rich source on Astanga Yoga. These treatises cover the entire gamut of Yoga. The subjects specified by Patanjali in Astanga Yoga are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhayana and Samadhi. The same was the case with Thirumoolar. ‘Hatha Yoga Pradipika’ listed Asanas, Breath, Mind, Kumbhaka, Mudras, Samadhi, Laya and Nada. Apart from the Sages and Yogins of Indian origin, many researchers from West and East delved deep in this fathomless ocean and interpreted the wisdom and knowledge to benefit humanity’s health, happiness and ever-lasting peace. With the dedication of International Day of Yoga (21st day of June every year) It is now globally recognised that yoga provides a holistic approach to health and well-being of world population. A comprehensive coverage of the subjects outlined in the earliest treatises, their further interpretations and adoptions are being made in the book.
