Аннотация

Jahrhundertelang war das Wissen über bestimmte Atemtechniken ein gut behütetes Geheimnis indischer Yogis. Dieses Wissen wurde zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts dem Westen übergeben. Bei der Wissenschaft des Atmens handelt es sich um eine der elementarsten Lehren, denn «Atem ist Leben».
Aus dem Inhalt: Einzig und allein vom Standpunkt der westlichen Physiologie, ohne Bezugnahme auf die orientalischen Philosophien und Wissenschaften ist dieses Yogi-System des vollständigen Atmens für jeden Menschen von vitaler Wichtigkeit, sei es Mann, Weib oder Kind, die Gesundheit erlangen und erhalten wollen. Seine Einfachheit selbst hält Tausende davon ab, es ernsthaft zu betrachten, während sie ein Vermögen ausgeben, um durch komplizierte und teure «Systeme» Gesundheit zu erlangen. Die Gesundheit klopft an ihre Tür und sie antworten nicht.

"The Yogi Philosophy may be divided into several great branches, or fields. What is known as «Hatha Yoga» deals with the physical body and its control; its welfare; its health; its preservation; its laws, etc. What is known as 'Raja Yoga' deals with the Mind; its control; its development; its unfoldment, etc. What is known as 'Bhakti Yoga' deals with the Love of the Absolute-God. What is known as 'Gnani Yoga' deals with the scientific and intellectual knowing of the great questions regarding Life and what lies back of Life-the Riddle of the Universe." So begins «A Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga (The Yoga of Wisdom)» by Yogi Ramacharaka.

"Strange rumors reached the ears of the people of Jerusalem and the surrounding country. It was reported that a new prophet had appeared in the valley of the lower Jordan, and in the wilderness of Northern Judea, preaching startling doctrines. His teachings resembled those of the prophets of old, and his cry of «Repent! Repent ye! for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand,» awakened strange memories of the ancient teachers of the race, and caused the common people to gaze wonderingly at each other, and the ruling classes to frown and look serious, when the name of the new prophet was mentioned." So begins «Mystic Christianity or The Inner Teachings of the Master», a classic work of religious teachings by Yogi Ramacharaka.
