Riassunto:

“Forty-three years ago, I discovered the writings of Yogi Ramacharaka: the clarity and confidence with which he described the key steps to spiritual growth blew my mind and changed my life. I entered a liminal space occupied by clairvoyance, clairaudience, auras and Prana. It is a world where the ‘I consciousness’ is awake and focused. I was delighted to discover that Bamboo Leaf Press has republished these wonderful works where everything makes sense. Thank you.” – Wendy Teasdill, BWY Yoga Teacher Trainer, Yogi, Writer "Yogi Ramacharaka’s ‘Fourteen Lessons’ is remarkable. It puts into simple language many of the core concepts of yoga philosophy, and gives the reader tools to start practicing them." – David Rogers, Yogi, International Yoga Instructor "‘Fourteen Lessons’ is that rare book, full of wisdom and insights, not just for understanding yogi philosophy but for living a fuller life." – Michael Gansrow, Co-Founder Massage on the Go, Wellness Expert, Author Bamboo Leaf Press proudly presents a new edition of the classic Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy by Yogi Ramacharaka, with a Foreword by the renowned yoga teacher and writer, Richard Rosen. This unique edition includes Endnotes which offer a historical context about the mindset and language used at the turn of the 20th century and brief biographies of historical figures mentioned throughout the book, many of whom have been forgotten over time. Moreover, this high quality printed book with stitch-binding allows you to open the book flat on a desk without the pages falling out while reading. Written 120 years ago, Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy is one of the first, if not the first, book about yogi philosophy written for a Western audience. It presents the fundamental teachings in a simple, charming, and straightforward style. Although the book is an introduction to this perennial philosophy, it covers a wide range of subjects such as: • The physical, mental, and spiritual constitution of Man. • The different Planes of Reality • The Astral world • Thought dynamics • The human aura • Occult therapeutics • Spiritual evolution Nine mantras for meditation are also included to help readers along their spiritual path. “You are the most precious thing – a living soul – and if you were destroyed the whole system of universes would crumble, for you are as necessary as the greatest part of it – it cannot do without you – you cannot be lost or destroyed – you are part of it all, and are eternal.”
