(Very general overview) 『This book is an incredibly general overview of japa. A lot of the info could be found online. But for a very brief introduction to japa this is alright, and I guess it could be a nice little book to hand to someone asking you what japa is, since the main body of text can be easily read in 20-30 minutes.
The gayatri of Sri Aurobindo at the end could be interesting to someone who knows of him. For me, having never heard of him, it will make for some interesting research to see what it's all about.』
(Less than adverised) 『I was expecting more from this book than was really there. My fault. Expectations too high!』 『The tradition of Japa in India dates back to the ancient times of the Rishis of the Veda. What is Japa? Japa is the repetition of a Mantra, a potent syllable or syllables, a word or combination of words, done with the object of realizing the truth embodied in the Mantra.』

The author, the Siddha Thiroomular, condensed in it all the yogic knowledge of his time. The book is considered an Agama and a Shastra, as it contains yogic knowledge and devotional poems. It has been published for the first time in English thanks to the hard work of M. Govindan, the original was written in Tamil, for the common people. Every real student of Yoga should have it, they could trace in the text many of the yogic techniques they practice. Is a wonderful experience to meditate in these verses... this is pure Tantra, in its best definition: a net that unites spiritualiy with daily life. Om Namah Shivaya!』

But, this is a wonderful yoga routine and I would highly recommend it for everyone!
You start out with breath work, then move on to some very mellow yoga movements and postures. I love the music on the recording and Beth Shaw's voice is very soothing as she talks you through this routine. The sound quality is very good. It's about an hour in length and even non-yogini's will be able to follow along. I use this as a morning yoga routine since it is very mellow and a great way to start your day. Most of the stretching and postures are done on the floor, but some warrior/standing postures also included. Very much worth the price for this product.
See my other reviews on yoga DVDs and CDs on amazon, yogaahakat. Namaste'』 『In this dynamic one-hour program, Yoga Stretch For Fitness, yoga expert Beth Shaw guides the listener through a variety of basic stretching, toning and strengthening movements.
