Description
The Hatha Yoga Pradipika is an ancient text used by yogis to create power and understanding. This foundational treatise on hatha yoga serves as a guide for those seeking to master advanced practices under the guidance of a qualified teacher. It is recommended that this book be used in conjunction with other texts, such as Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The instructions within this text have been intentionally veiled by its original writers, requiring elaboration and correction from a qualified guru. Swami Vishnu-Devananda has emphasized that these practices are not suitable for beginners, and that adherence to his guidance is crucial to avoid putting one's psyche at risk. A glossary has been prepared for this third edition, intended as a reference manual for serious yoga students of all levels.
