About this listen
Have you ever wanted to learn more about meditation and the mysterious yogis?
Written by a yoga instructor educated at Yoga Vidya Gurukul in Trimbakeshwar, India, this quick guide focuses on the meaning of and purposes of yogic meditation according to yoga masters. Referencing the beliefs of masters like Patanjali, Swami Satyananda, and Swami Sivananda, among others, this audiobook seeks to show how the concept of “meditation” has evolved ever since it was documented in Patanjali’s sutras approximately 2,500 years ago. It also explores the purposes and objectives of yogic meditation and how they relate to the overall practice and goals of an aspiring learner.
You’ll learn:
- How yogic meditation differs from that of other traditions
- The health benefits of meditation
- The path toward samadhi (nirvana)
Meditation is an incredible tool to achieve inner peace. Let this audiobook guide you down that path.
