Mother Loving Kindness (Swami Maitreyananda)

The author is an Australian yogini who shares with us the story of her yogic and spiritual journey throughout the 1960's and up to 1972. As such, the book also serves as a history of yoga in Australia in that period.

[From the author's Foreword] - "A God intoxicated much-beloved Yogi has written "Autobiography of a Yogi" and now this ordinary suburban housewife, this extraordinary suburban housewife, has written "Autobiography of a Yogini". His book is filled with the fascinatingly exotic, the call of the Orient, and many have heard that call. Her book is filled with the extraordinary "ordinary", the smell of the suburbs, and many will smell that smell, and find God within that smell. The balance has been struck".

[From the author's Preface] - "This book is written to help those on the spiritual path. It gives an idea of the disciplines needed, allowing the reader to see some of the mistakes that can come about so that he may avoid them.

I have tried to put the ancient truths into simple language by actually demonstrating them on an everyday human level. For the higher initiates there are also hidden truths that can be understood only at a certain level.

This is neither an intellectual book nor a literary masterpiece, but one based on Spirit and experience, aiming to show that the "Way" can be trod by those still immersed in family life, who have to contend with the stress and strain of everyday living and cannot go into seclusion or live solitary lives".… (plus d'informations)
