Summary

"Reviving the teachings and practices of Swami Kripalu. Like the Indian sages in whose footsteps he walked, Swami Kripalu taught yoga as a wisdom tradition in which disciples maintain a close personal relationship to their guru and demonstrate their fitness to receive each level of its esoteric curriculum through the intensity of their study, practice, and devotion. He adopted this approach for an important reason, as the single-minded dedication it required was meant to bring forth the best from his top students, preserving yoga's spiritual depth and enabling them to pass on its transformative potency. Yet this approach also had a downside in that it failed to make the full scope of his teachings accessible to a multitude of seekers unable to join his circle of intimates. Swami Kripalu's Yoga of Success and Self-Realization presents Swami Kripalu's teachings in a contemporary framework that any reader can understand and put into practice. John Mundahl calls it "a clear, engaging writing style infused with stories." Supplementing the narrative are extensive quotations, excerpts, and teaching stories that remain as close as possible to Swami Kripalu's words. Every effort has been made to retain his distinctive voice and subtlety of expression"-- Provided by publisher.
