Publisher's Synopsis
Dive into the heart and soul of a yogi. Wander through the fields of a turbulent century observed through the lens of a wry yet affectionate sense of humour. Expressing a vision that is both optimistic and profound, this book charts a route towards the fabled Golden Age of Enlightenment - a goal found to be enticingly close, yet seemingly beyond the reach of modern man. Drawing upon such disparate sources as the ancient "I Ching" and the engraver, poet and prophet William Blake, the author finds continuity between these distant voices as oracles whose fiery course across the heavens illuminates the condition of Man and revels in his inheritance. Inspired by his meditations, the author records in poetic expression, the deepening of the state of contemplation whose beauty beckons the seeker and yogi alike. Thrilling and revelatory, the inner mechanism of the subtle body system is examined providing a roadmap for the soul on the path to enlightenment. At the very heart of this book is a collection of personal memories of the greatest teacher of yoga that the world has seen, whose dedication to raising the awareness of humanity became her lifework. These simple stories reveal the love and warmth of a teacher who captured the hearts of all those who met her and allow the reader a glimpse into the light of a great soul.
