Long the standard work in the field, Eliade’s big book on yoga still displays its author’s dazzling erudition, while at the same time suffering from a dated style, poor organization, and like so many other scholarly tomes on the exotic field of “Eastern” spirituality, demonstrates the limits of a pu Leggi tutto
As David Gordon White eloquently points out in his indispensable introduction, Eliade's early masterpiece was far ahead of the curve; so much so that it is strongest when he sticks to the material he knows first hand. And so his exposition of Samkhya and Raja Yoga which he knew intimately from the S Leggi tutto
Mircea Eliade introduces this erudite and impressively accessible survey of Yoga with a provocative observation, perhaps more directly pertinent to the existentialist vogue of the 1950s but no less relevant to our twenty-first century context: whereas Western thought, at least since the scientific-m Leggi tutto
Eliade, Mircea. Yoga: Immortality and Freedom (1958) ***** All serious yoga scholars have this book or want it I have the Bollingen paperback third printing of the Second Edition of 1969.

A great book, wish I'd read it several years back on my Yoga journey. This book was written in the 1950's but it fills in so many gaps and explains some puzzling aspects of Yoga practice.

когда-нибудь, когда у меня появится время читать подобные книги не в метро, а в более спокойной и располагающей к более вдумчивому чтению обстановке, я напишу об этой книге больше. Однако уже сейчас могу сказать, что первое впечатление от чтения двойственное. С одной стороны, Элиаде охватил в своем Leggi tutto

Yoga is a method to conquer the relentless circle of life and death and its cruelty. The writer has done more r Leggi tutto
This book has been my first interaction with Yoga and although I've read it many years ago and don't remember much it got me hooked and therefore I started diving into the philosophy and practice of Yoga. So this book is a catalyst for all the learning, developing and self (re)discovery that followe Leggi tutto
Un libro esplendido para estudiar la maravilla del Yoga. Mircea Eliade es un referente necesario para comprender y entender los diversos pensamientos religiosos y místicos del ser humano; este libro no es la excepción. Alejado de cualquier dogma u especulación, el trabajo de Eliade es profundamente Leggi tutto
Je mehr der Mensch leidet, je stärker er also mit dem Kosmos verbunden ist, desto mehr steigt in ihm die Sehnsucht nach Befreiung, desto mehr beherrscht ihn der Durst nach dem Heil. Patañjali: ,,Alles ist Leiden für den Weisen” Buddha: ,,Alles ist Schmerz, alles ist ephemer” (sarvam duhkham, sarvam an Leggi tutto
