Hatha Yoga Pradipika
By Maharishi Swatmarama, translation and commentary by Swami Satyananda
Saraswati and Swami Muktibodhananda. Includes line drawings and diagrams.
This book is a thorough commentary on the original text by Maharishi Swatmarama.
It elucidates the entire science of hatha yoga as it was conceived and practised,
not for health and fitness only, but for awakening the pranas, chakras and kundalini
shakti. This text points out that hatha yoga is not just a physical practice
but a process of cellular transmutation from gross, to subtle to divine. Thus
hatha yoga was considered the foundation of all higher yogas. This text clearly
shows the link between tantra and hatha yoga, and also emphasises that hatha
yoga leads to raja yoga, otherwise it is practised in vain.
