Usually ships in 24 hours 『Yoga, tantra and other forms of Asian meditation are practised in modernized forms throughout the world today, but most introductions to Hinduism or Buddhism tell only part of the story of how they developed. This book is an interpretation of the history of Indic religions up to around 1200 CE, with particular focus on the development of yogic and tantric traditions. It assesses how much we really know about this period, and asks what sense we can make of the evolution of yogic and tantric practices, which were to become such central and important features of the Indic religious scene. Its originality lies in seeking to understand these traditions in terms of the total social and religious context of South Asian society during this period, including the religious practices of the general population with their close engagement with family, gender, economic life and other pragmatic concerns.』

I also like the fact that the author gives you information from other philosophies (yoga, buddhism etc) without overdoing it- i think this keeps it accessible to more people and gives those interested a direction for further reading/research. All the advice rings true, it feels like something you already know in your heart to be true (and therefore its nice to have written down to remind yourself whenever you need). I finished this book feeling positive that I can take control of my life and be HAPPY with it. I liked the book, and I am happy to recommend it.』
(This "Road Trip" is a MUST!!!) 『This summer I was feeling a little down - just lost my job of 14 years due to corporate downsizing - and realized that I could no longer separate who I was from what I did. I went on a previously planned beach vacation and took Sadie Nardini's new book "Road Trip Guide to the Soul" with me. WOW - this is a must read book with something for everyone! It's written in Sadie's trademark style - authentic, hip and fun.....and filled with deep wisdom and insight into our journey through this life. Sadie is an amazing yoga teacher and coach, her classes light a fire in everyone who takes them. The "Road Trip" energized me, elevated me and filled me with a newfound energy, courage and committment to make the most of my life journey on this planet. Thanks to Sadie I realize that yes, I can be "my own boyfriend"! - that is, I don't need to depend on anyone or anything, I have everything I need inside me. So check back with me in a few months to see where my newfound sense of self and purpose has taken me! For now, I can authentically say that the most important thing I did this summer was take a "road trip" with Sadie Nardini. You can too! Thank you, Jeanne』

(A compass to navigate from your center to the universe's center) 『How a road trip guide to the soul could be related to a universe compass to guide you, no matter where you are right now, through the challenges/changes in life and teach you, in a simple, clear,profound yet humorous way about old yogic truths that govern our lives in this planet? Ms. Sardini, an inspring, fearless, fun and dedicated to life transformation teacher, whom I met, serving as a diplomat/press secretary, almost a year ago in my NYC stop, in the East-West yoga studio, taught me and reminded me some simple truths about how to live our lives, appreciating and confronting each moment of our life, with full consciousness. I have felt that through her I added an essential skill to my planetary baggage, a genuine, profound and fun way to the better understanding of the people across countries, and specially here in the US, of how they/I connect their/my body expression to my sould expression to achieve their/my self-realization. Maintaining a strong center in the midst of a thunderstorm and working towards the achievement of balance in any given situation is the best way to contribute towards peace and therefore to everyone's right to self-realization in a free, conscious and responsible way, which is ultimately everyone's right and obligation in this planet.By understanding this very simple need we can connect easier to our higher self/puropse in life and contribute, creatively, to the broader cause of peace, compassion, tolerance and living meaningfully from our center, as Ms. Sardini would add. 』
(The Ride of Your Life!) 『I've been taking Sadie's classes for almost 5 years, and I have to say, this book is like having Sadie along for the ride of your life...a personal life-coach you can take with you anywhere. If you can't make it to NYC to take her yoga classes, this book, along with her dvd, will change your life, and encourage you to tap into your inner strength and shine it out.
Sadie writes clearly, in easy to understand, easily digestible chapters that illuminate ancient yogic truths in ways that we can all use and benefit from. She will be your guide on an inner trip that will empower you to make real, lasting changes in your life that will benefit not only yourself, but everyone around you.
I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's real, it's powerful, and it will change your life.』 『Yoga and mind-body expert Sadie Nardini shows readers how to attract their best life now Sadie Nardini is the founder of Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga, director of East/West Yoga in New York City, and one of the leading yoga teachers in the United States.

IPhone 3G used's review (A great resource for Thai Massage Therapists) 『I first saw Kira demonstrate majority of the Thai Massage moves in Asokananda's advanced Thai Massage Book years ago (I use Asokananda's book extensively as reference!), and I am so happy to see her publish her own book. It is well laid out, excellently photographed, and described. She goes through a basic routine, describing the moves and she also has the actual charts for the sen lines and chakras as illustrated by Kam Thye Chow, who worked alongside Asokananda, and who has his own excellent Thai-Yoga book, which I also highly recommend!』 『This is a clear, beautifully illustrated full color book that explains the background to this exciting massage therapy and leads the reader through a session: from using chanting and visualization, to preparing to give a massage, to step-by-step instructions on all the important massage techniques and yoga postures.』

The contents in this book compelled me to sing up for a couple of Isha programs. I've finally found my inner peace and my life will never be the same again.』
(One small step 4 u, 1 giant step 4 happiness) 『This book will take u from a basic place of seeking and straight through a place where your life can really go places. The insight and light that it sheds is second to none&very much straight to the point. Just from reading the book I felt perked up I didn't want to put it down&trust me, I'm not much of a reader. This book became the 6th book I've ever completed in my life so if I can get through it, anyone can.
This book served me as inspirational as well motivational for me to take my life into a different place to where it was&I'm sure I will not be the only one.
All I can say is, if your searching for something or you feel something is missing in your life, if your not happy, if your spiritual and want to experience what what the spiritual books talk about or just stuck in a rut and need something to change or need inspiration, then STOP RIGHT THERE! This book is definitely for you!
This book has done what no other book, video or talk has done&I can categorically say, my life has changed&IS in a much better place. I hope you enjoy it and get something that will help you in your life's journey as well.』
(Vivid and Insightful) 『I read this book in two sittings. Having participated in programs lead by Sadhguru in the past, I always find it wonderful to spend time in his presence. This book is no exception. While reading, you are transported along the bonfire with Sadhguru and Cheryl -- taking part the journey with them. This book is only a beginning, an introduction to Sadhguru. Sadhguru has also created Isha Yoga Inner Engineering Introduction programs in over 15 cities throughout the US and Canada. You can read this book and if you want more you can find it and most importantly experience it! Just this past weekend over 600 people were in Tennessee as Sadhguru came to consecrate a new +1000 person meditation hall, Mahima (Grace) at the Isha Institute for Inner Sciences.』
(Wonderful little book) 『This wonderful little book is a great introduction into the work of Sadhguru. It opens up an enlightened being to the western world, where guru-phobia has come about because of charlatans. Having read the book, and subsequently taken Inner Engineering and several other courses, I can definitely say my life has changed for the better. Take advantage of this opportunity to expand your limitations.』

Swami Adiswarananda's Meditation&Its Practices is a comprehensive and inspiring guidebook on meditation. In this book you will find everything you would ever need to know about Yoga and Vedanta tradition of meditation. The author has painstakingly combined his authentic knowledge with powerful quotes and excerpts from Hindu and non-Hindu spiritual masters and traditions. To the novice reader, the author's style may come across as pedantic, but as he traverses the pages of this book, he is likely to be awed by the author's clarity and the depth of knowledge. Meditation and Its Practices is a book for those who are serious about meditation. If you are on of those willing to invest a little time and patience in reading this book, will find the jewel of meditation. For generations to come, student of meditation and spiritual seeking everywhere will look to this book for its highly respectable content and guidance.』
(Excellent guide in Vedantic Meditation) 『A lot of beginners don't know the difference between relaxation practices and meditation. Variety of products is available to relax our body and mind, they also help us to suppress overactive emotional moods and activate underlying emotions. This book is a meditation incentive, not just a kit for relaxation. This is a product which is must for them who have the concept of Vedantic philosophy, the theory of `true oneness' and know how to empty their mind from sensual pleasures to reach God. 』
(AUTHORITATIVE and PRAGMATIC) 『A believer in any and all religions will appreciate the universal and psychological approach of Meditation and Its Practices to explain the core spiritual facts which apply to everyone equally. This book is written for the student whose moral and spiritual education is based on sincere effort, an open mind and practical teachings. I appreciate that the author, Swami Adiswarananda, takes the reader seriously and presents a critical account of the subject which is then left in the hands of the reader to assimilate theory into practice. This guidebook becomes not only a thorough documentation of research on the subject of meditation in Hinduism's systems of Yoga and Vedanta; it looks for a real change and commitment to understanding the nature and final goal of religious and spiritual life, which is self-knowledge and a unity with all souls.』 『Meditation is a necessity for the soul, a technique for withdrawing the mind so that the spirit can rest and rejuvenate. By practicing meditation, we set in motion a process that leads to the restoration of our well-being--physical, mental, and spiritual.
This comprehensive sourcebook examines the scientific, psychological, and spiritual properties of Yoga and Vedanta, Hinduism’s two mainstream meditation practices, and explains how we can put these teachings into practice to enrich our daily lives. Drawing on the sacred texts of Yoga and Vedanta--including the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, among many others--this guidebook illuminates the principles of each of these traditions, the meaning of meditation, and the methods by which we can develop our concentration and self-control.
By exploring the transformative powers of this ancient spiritual practice, this inspiring volume shows us time-tested ways to refresh our souls and empower our physical and spiritual selves with innovative ways of meeting the challenges of modern life.』
