Review: yoga for purists with interest in the intellectual side - A classic text by a classic scholar. Mircea Eliade writes a scholarly work on the history, origins and practices of yoga. He references the Upanishads and other Sanskrit original works, but also scholars of his time who wrote about yoga. It's a good book for practitioners interested in deepening their knowledge about the ancient ways of yoga, but is best suited for people who are comfortable with foreign words, Sanskrit concepts and/or are adept at reading scholarly writing. This book will not be helpful to beginners and is certainly not as accessible as a pick it up and read it at the doctor's office kind of magazine article, nor is it a manual with instructions on asanas and breathing. It is a good read, perhaps even a must read for practitioners with a few years of yoga practice who want to go deeper in exploring the historical origins, beliefs and variations of yoga. It's quite dense and assumes the reader has familiarity with Sanskrit and Hinduism and other Indian philosophical traditions.
Review: Inform yourself with this book - Although this book is old, it has more information about yoga than almost any yoga book I have ever read, and I have read a lot. I came across this book in the early '70s and my copy is falling apart. No, I don't want a new copy, thank you. All those underlines and notes in the margin make my copy twice as valuable! My book is part of my soul. So much good info here. Maybe it isn't perfect in everything and also there has been more current research on certain topics, but if you want to broaden your knowledge, you will find this to be a treasure that you can read and reread until your pages are falling out, too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ yoga for purists with interest in the intellectual side
*by Z***E on January 16, 2014*

A classic text by a classic scholar. Mircea Eliade writes a scholarly work on the history, origins and practices of yoga. He references the Upanishads and other Sanskrit original works, but also scholars of his time who wrote about yoga. It's a good book for practitioners interested in deepening their knowledge about the ancient ways of yoga, but is best suited for people who are comfortable with foreign words, Sanskrit concepts and/or are adept at reading scholarly writing. This book will not be helpful to beginners and is certainly not as accessible as a pick it up and read it at the doctor's office kind of magazine article, nor is it a manual with instructions on asanas and breathing.

*by W***N on May 11, 2021*

Although this book is old, it has more information about yoga than almost any yoga book I have ever read, and I have read a lot. I came across this book in the early '70s and my copy is falling apart. No, I don't want a new copy, thank you. All those underlines and notes in the margin make my copy twice as valuable!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal
*by C***S on November 3, 2014*

Wow. If you want to get a grand total understanding of not only Yoga but also of Tantra and how it fits into the grand scheme of many of India's innumerable great teachings then this book is for you. It is absolutely phenomenal and on par with Vashista's Yoga in terms of its profundity. Although Vasistha's Yoga is an actual scripture for teaching, this text is more of a scholarly epic detailing the "inside scoop" on a lot of what makes Yoga and Tantra so life changing. Not a lighthearted book for the typical Westerner looking for insight on Asana's or even a typical guru worship treatise expounding on what makes "my guru" so great. This cuts straight to the heart of what Yoga has always and will always be about; mystical union. Bring a dictionary. I know I needed one lol.
