One of the greatest ancient texts of yoga is the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Here in this book the focus is on the centrepiece of Patanjali's work known as Ashtanga, the Eight Limbs of Yoga. The Ashtanga system is articulated in the Sadhana Pada. It provides a blue-print for living a conscious life, engendering personal transformation and ultimately experiencing self-realization. It is not the only system in Yoga. There are many different pathways and techniques in this sacred science. The limbs do, however, give us great guidance and insight into the heart of Yogic practice and philosophy, while offering us the opportunity to grow, heal and thrive. They are synergistic and as we weave them into our lives there arises a tapestry of spiritual awakening.Patanjali's Ashtanga provides a proven and time-tested pathway for this self-extraction, like a prescription from the Divine for what ails us in body, mind and soul. In exploring the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the author delves into how relevant this ancient system is for our modern times, and provides observations and, most importantly, practices to help you embody, live and benefit from this wisdom. The author provides both a modern perspective on the Sutras and a series of practices to bring them into your everyday life., Motilal Banarsidass, 6, Motilal Banarsidass . Paperback. New.

Therefore, consider Soul Cravings, a brand-new hardback offered by Eastman Bookstore with the focus "on coming to know ourselves. Soul Cravings is a journal of the human story; and if God exists, we should able to find him there". Goodreads provides this overview: "We can spend our whole lives trying to satisfy the one insatiable part of our being, our soul craving. Our capacity for spiritual experience both proves our need for something greater than ourselves and leaves us wanting when we fill it with anything but God. Soul Cravings is a powerful, down-to-earth exposition that interprets our need for intimacy, meaning, and destiny as common sense apologetics pointing to the existence of and our need for God. The book will deeply stir the reader to consider and chase after the spiritual implications of their soul's deepest longings." New-OPENS AS UNREAD! NO MARKS!

As New., Rosen Publishing Group, Incorporated, The, 2000, 5, The Metaphysical Club is the winner of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for History.A riveting, original book about the creation of modern American thought.The Metaphysical Club was an informal group that met in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1872, to talk about ideas. Its members included Oliver Well Holmes, Jr., future associate justice of the United States Supreme Court; William James, the father of modern American psychology; and Charles Sanders Peirce, logician, scientist, and the founder of semiotics. The Club was probably in existence for about nine months. No records were kept. The one thing we know that came out of it was an idea -- an idea about ideas. This book is the story of that idea.Holmes, James, and Peirce all believed that ideas are not things "out there" waiting to be discovered but are tools people invent -- like knives and forks and microchips -- to make their way in the world. They thought that ideas are produced not by individuals, but by groups of individuals -- that ideas are social. They do not develop according to some inner logic of their own but are entirely depent -- like germs -- on their human carriers and environment. And they thought that the survival of any idea depends not on its immutability but on its adaptability.The Metaphysical Club is written in the spirit of this idea about ideas. It is not a history of philosophy but an absorbing narrative about personalities and social history, a story about America. It begins with the Civil War and ends in 1919 with Justice Holmes's dissenting opinion in the case of U.S. v. Abrams-the basis for the constitutional law of free speech. The first four sections of the book focus on Holmes, James, Peirce, and their intellectual heir, John Dewey. The last section discusses some of the fundamental twentieth-century ideas they are associated with. This is a book about a way of thinking that changed American life.", Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 3, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania: Executive Books. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 2000. Second Edition.

The Bagavad Gita is not a religious book or a treatise on philosophy.It is a work which disoels doubts about the dharma that one has to live in life.According to the founding thoughts of the Bhagavad Gita,the orocess of manging life and the cultivation of better qualities,dharma and the journey of life and focus of an individual Yoga is the medium through which one is able to complete this journey.

Focusing on the use of language as both a vehicle and a tool to shape persuasive argument, Aristotle delineates with remarkable insight both practical and aesthetic elements and their proper combination in an effective presentation, oral or written. He also emphasizes the role of language in achieving precision and clarity of thought., Dover Publications, 2016, 6<
