Review & Description

John Lennon called himself a working class hero. George Harrison was a working class mystic. Born in Liverpool as the son of a bus conductor and a shop assistant, for the first six years of his life he lived in a house with no indoor bathroom. This book gives an honest, in-depth view of his personal journey from his blue-collar childhood to his role as a world-famous spiritual icon.

Author Gary Tillery’s approach is warmly human, free of the fawning but insolent tone of most rock biographers. He frankly discusses the role of drugs in leading Harrison to mystical insight but emphasizes that he soon renounced psychedelics as a means to the spiritual path. It was with conscious commitment that Harrison journeyed to India, studied sitar with Ravi Shankar, practiced yoga, learned meditation from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and became a devotee of Hinduism. George worked hard to subdue his own ego and to understand the truth beyond appearances. He preferred to keep a low profile, but his empathy for suffering people led him to spearhead the first rock-and-roll super event for charity. And despite his wealth and fame, he was always delighted to slip on overalls and join in manual labor on his grounds. At ease with holy men discussing the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, he was ever the bloke from Liverpool whose father drove a bus, whose brothers were tradesmen, and who had worked himself as an apprentice electrician until the day destiny called.

Tillery’s engaging narrative depicts Harrison as a sincere seeker who acted out of genuine care for humanity and used his celebrity to be of service in the world. Fans of all generations will treasure this book for the inspiring portrayal it gives of their beloved “quiet” Beatle.

Review & Description

As a result of a major epiphany, James Hackley was able to lose an amazing 50lbs of fat in just 4 months and has sculpted his 46 yr-old body into the best shape ever. He has learned to significantly reduce stress, quiet the mind and get in touch with his spirit like never before. As a result, he's been able to free himself from a lifetime sentence of high blood pressure and high cholesterol prescription medications. More importantly, he's been able to inspire those around him to do the same. In his latest release Body, Mind & Spirit: The Awakening, James explores the root causes of why we overeat, refuse to exercise, live chaotic lives and fail to accomplish the goals that God has intended for your life since the dawn of time. This is not just another diet or "weight loss" (loss of fat and muscle) book. Diets simply don't work and James emphasizes how we need to be more concerned about "fat loss". In fact, this guaranteed bestseller would be better categorized as a "Negativity Loss" guide; loss of negative fat, negative habits, negative foods, negative people, negative thoughts and negative actions. This guide arms you with knowledge and encouragement to put a plan into action to finally master the things that have long mastered you. Read more

Yoga sutras of Patanjali - Yoga encyclopedia (Annotated) (AmAre companion to Yoga) (Kindle Edition)

Review & Description

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a foundational text of Yoga. The Sutras are built on a foundation of Samkhya philosophy and also exhibit the influence of Upanishadic, Buddhist and Jain thought.

Karel Werner writes that "Patanjali's system is unthinkable without Buddhism. As far as its terminology goes there is much in the Yoga Sutras that reminds us of Buddhist formulations from the Pāli Canon and even more so from the Sarvāstivāda Abhidharma and from Sautrāntika." Robert Thurman writes that Patanjali was influenced by the success of the Buddhist monastic system to formulate his own matrix for the version of thought he considered orthodox. The five yamas or the constraints of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali bear an uncanny resemblance to the five major vows of Jainism, indicating influence of Jainism. This mutual influence between the Yoga philosophy and Jainism is admitted by the author Vivian Worthington who writes: "Yoga fully acknowledges its debt to Jainism, and Jainism reciprocates by making the practice of yoga part and parcel of life." Christopher Chappel also notes that three teachings closely associated with Jainism appear in Yoga: the doctrine of karma described as colorful in both traditions; the telos of isolation (kevala in Jainism and Kaivalyam in Yoga); and the practice of non-violence (ahimsa). He also notes that the entire list of five yamas (II:30) is identical with the ethical precepts (Mahavratas) taught by Mahavira.

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali prescribes adherence to eight "limbs" or steps (the sum of which constitute "Ashtanga Yoga", the title of the second chapter) to quiet one's mind and achieve kaivalya. The Yoga Sutras form the theoretical and philosophical basis of Raja Yoga, and are considered to be the most organized and complete definition of that discipline. The division into the Eight Limbs (Sanskrit Ashtanga) of Yoga is reminiscent of Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path; inclusion of Brahmaviharas (Yoga Sutra 1:33) also shows Buddhism's influence on parts of the Sutras.

This book includes:
- background information about the text
- AmAre as an approach to practice Patanjali to facilitate joyful living for the benefit of all beings

The Sutras not only provide yoga with a thorough and consistent philosophical basis, they also clarify many important concepts which are common to all traditions of Indian thought, such as karma.

Further information, samples, and the complete index from "Sampler" are provided by Adan on his website, on a special page providing sample information only at wp.me/p1kLQ4-13l .

Combining life long interests in the arts and fitness, and degrees in Theatre and the Humanities, with certifications in Yoga, Group Fitness, and Zumba, Adan brings a unique and enduring passion to integrating his interests.

"61 years is a long time," says Adan, but adds, smiling, "but I still have a lot to learn, and a lot to share."The reader can enjoy the current content of stories, poems, and images, many of which will not be used in future editions, while sampling the style and type of creative work still coming in eBook format.

By David Gordon White

Buy new: $29.95

First tagged by Brigitte Muehlegger
Customer tags: yoga sutras india patanjali meditation spirituality, yoga, yoga sutras, patanjali, patanjala yoga

Review & Description

Yoga is a body of practice that spans two millennia and transcends the boundaries of any single religion, geographic region, or teaching lineage. In fact, over the centuries there have been many "yogas"--yogas of battlefield warriors, of itinerant minstrels and beggars, of religious reformers, and of course, the yogas of mind and body so popular today. Yoga in Practice is an anthology of primary texts drawn from the diverse yoga traditions of India, greater Asia, and the West. This one-of-a-kind sourcebook features elegant translations of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and even Islamic yogic writings, many of them being made available in English for the very first time. Collected here are ancient, colonial, and modern texts reflecting a broad range of genres, from an early medical treatise in Sanskrit to Upanishadic verses on sacred sounds; from a Tibetan catechetical dialogue to funerary and devotional songs still sung in India today; and from a 1930s instructional guide by the grandfather of contemporary yoga to the private papers of a pioneer of tantric yoga in America.

Emphasizing the lived experiences to be found in the many worlds of yoga, Yoga in Practice includes David Gordon White's informative general introduction as well as concise introductions to each reading by the book's contributors.

About the authors:

Betsy Stix:
      As a child Betsy watched animals bend and stretch and tried to imitate their flexibility, agility, economy of movement, and grace. She was a tree climber, horseback rider, runner, soccer player, and gymnast, and by the time she began studying the asanas in college she had already acquired a list of injuries and imbalances. She quickly noticed that yoga made her feel better. She became an English, French, and yoga teacher and has taught children and adults for the last twenty-five years. The two constants in her life have been yoga and teaching. She has completed 3 yoga teacher training programs and is a Thai Yoga Massage therapist. She holds a B.A. in English from Williams College and an M.A. from Stanford U. in Curriculum Development and Teacher Education.
      As a teacher Betsy tries to help her students connect to their breath, their bodies, and their beauty. She currently teaches English, Creative Writing, and Yoga at Besant Hill School as well as kids’ and adult yoga classes in the Ojai Valley. She is grateful to all her teachers, especially her family and the Earth, for their love and patience.

Christina Enneking:
      After more than two decades of practicing yoga while balancing leadership positions in the corporate world, Christina Enneking founded Heart Happy Yoga in 2010. A certified Yoga Alliance™ instructor and level II Reiki practitioner, Christina creates bridges between energy and rest, playfulness and intention, creativity and wisdom. Christina’s style reflects the influences of many yoga experiences and respected yoga masters across the globe while sharing her own sense of creativity and flow, not to mention sparking individual authenticity within her students.
      Christina is honored to be a guide for spreading the power of yoga to audiences of all ages through experiential learning. Her love and aptitude for kids’ yoga has been spawned by her two children who have been practicing yoga since they were in the womb, daughter Carly and son Will. Christina believes connection with others in mindful collaboration while practicing compassion and creativity are essential building blocks for improving the state of our own lives and others. Christina is honored to be in collaboration with Betsy Stix while developing Little Bea’s Yoga for Kids and continues to express gratitude every day for the gift of yoga, beautiful partnerships and a life practice dedicated to consciousness, creativity, love, and wisdom, all in equal measure.
