The Katha Upanishad says that man in the ordinary course looks outward but some seeking a greater life turn their gaze inward Caorttach aksbuy, and there they find the immortal life of their true Self. Yoga consists in developing this inward and upward look. Taking the celebrated Yogasutras of Patarijali as his framework, Sri Anirvan explains the eight limbs of Pataiijala Yoga in the life of India's spiritual traditions. The Vedas, the Upanishads and the Gita; ·the systems of Samkhya and Tantra; Buddhism, Vaishnavism and the Bauls - all form part of Sri Anirvan's vision. In this book, Sri Anirvan takes his readers onto unfamiliar grounds; there is no doubt that they will find in him a sure guide on this unusual journey. In his Introduction, Sri Ram Swamp adds a new dimension. He discusses different chitta- bbumis, a neglected Yogic idea; he mentions non-Yogic samadhis, fertile sources of many Revelations, Prophecies, Scriptures and Gods. This idea provides a new framework, a Yogic critique for evaluating different scriptures and different religious ideologies. The idea offers a radical, Eastern contribution to Studies in Comparative Religions.
