From the foreword by Ken Wilber:
Georg Feuerstein's YOGA TRADITION contains without doubt the most beautiful overview of yoga currently available; it is a book that will have the status of a "classic". And this is for the simple reason that it comes from both the head and the heart, because it is both scientifically sound and comes from dedicated practice. In this sense, the book is also characterized by greater perception and precision compared to the writings of, say, Mircea Eliade or Joseph Campbell.
Now enter the reality of yoga, which is said to lead from suffering to liberation, from existential pain to ecstasy, from time to eternity, from death to immortality. And rest assured that you are in good hands on this extraordinary journey.
