The Art and Science of Raja Yoga contains fourteen lessons in which the original yoga science emerges in all of its glory-a proven system for realizing one's spiritual destiny. This is the most comprehensive course on yoga and meditation available today, giving you a profound and intimate understanding of how to apply these age-old teachings, on a practical, as well as spirtual, day-to-day level in this modern age.

Over 450 pages of text and photos give you a complete and detailed presentation of hatha yoga (yoga postures), yoga philosophy, affirmations, meditation instruction, and breathing technique. Also included are suggestions for daily yoga routines, helpful information on diet, and alternative healing techniques. Apply these teachings and techniques in our daily life and you will attain your highest and potential: true happiness, inner peace, and the dynamic joy of your soul.

I've studed many books in hopes of finding one that would change my life, showing me how to be a happy, contented perosn. This book has been the one. It has taught me how to access peace from within my Self. It is a manual I will study again and again for its depthless teachings.-P.B., Dallas, TX

The lessons themselves are so rich that I learn something new every time I read them.-K.M., Ojai, CA

I must say the results are more than I expected. My friends say I'm glowing. I seem to have almost limitless energy.-P.O., Dundee, FL

The depth of knowledge I've gained is exaclty what I was seeking. Since I started the teachings, I have noticed a significant difference in the quality of my life. I feel more relaxed, more at peace, and somtimes find myself smiling with a joy that bubbles from inside.-P.R., Jersey City, NJ

It's not a bad little book. I bought it when it was (so very long ago) new, and actually knew people who knew the author. The explanations are good, the photographs are very helpful, and it's one of the few books I've kept, over time, from those days. I'm pretty impressed that there's an author's page with a recent photo for him.

The Wikipedia entry provides the best information. Interesting fellow.

This unique book teaches hatha yoga as it was originally intended: as a way to uplift your consciousness and aid your spiritual development. Swami Kriyananda's inspiring affirmations and clearly written instructions show you how to attune yourself to the consciousness of each pose, so that each yoga posture becomes a doorway to life-affirming attitudes, clarity of understanding and an increasingly centred and uplifted awareness. The book is illustrated with photographs of the postures.

Art as a Guide to Self-Realization offers a blueprint for the future of art, and shows how art can be a powerful influence for meaningful existence and positive attitudes in society. The book presents a new approach to the arts, one that views both artistic expression and artistic appreciation as creative communication. It shows the importance of seeing oneself and all things as aspects of a greater reality, of seeking to enter into conscious attunement with that reality, and of seeing all things as channels for the expression of that reality.
