Excellent Introduction to Hinduism and Yoga

Sri Chinmoy writes with great clarity on spiritual subjects of mainly, Yoga and Hinduism. He is able to offer clear insights into subjects which can easily be over philosophised. For example Sri Chinmoy writes on Yoga: "Yoga is union. It is the union of the individual soul with the Supreme Self. Yoga is the spiritual science that teaches us how the Ultimate Reality can be realised in life itself." Recommended as an introduction into this field.

A Wonderful Book on What Real Yoga is All About

Sri Chinmoy is a realised spiritual master (he conducts peace meditations for the United Nations staff). He explains what Yoga is (real yoga is spiritual union with God, not the exercise postures that most westerners perform). After reading this book you will want to read his book "Meditation" (to learn in depth meditation yoga)and then all of his books, which contain not only invaluable information, but will spiritually uplift and transform you as well.
