Very nice book

Nice book

I most recommend for those who love Yoga!

I have been practicing Yoga for last 2 years. I have been using Asna Pranayama Mudra and Bandha by BYS. Gheranda Samhita as some of you might know is one of the four principal texts in Hatha Yoga, others being Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Shiva Samhita, and Hatharatnavali. I have read Hatha Yoga Pradipika and compared it with Gheranda Samhita. I found out Gheranda Samhita to be a little better than Hatha Yoga Pradipika. For instance the number of Asanas in Hatha Yoga Pradipika is less than Gheranda Samhita. Sage Gheranda recommends 32 Asanas as most important among all asanas and must for this mortal plane. If anyone is confused among these two humongous Yoga texts, I would recommend you begin with Gheranda Samhita. After that you can and if serious, must go after Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

This book arrived in perfect shape and is an excellent reference for any serious student of yoga. I will be consulting it for many years to come. I am very pleased to have this as part of my yoga library. I highly recommend this work and the seller. Thank you for offering this book and providing such a welcome purchasing experience.

Les livres de la "Bihar School of Yoga" sont célèbres dans le monde entier pour leur présentation claire et pertinente des différents Yoga et Tantra. Niranjanananda nous offre avec ce livre peut-être le commentaire le plus abouti et éclairé sur ce texte de Hatha Yoga qu'est le Gheranda Samhita. Bien que certaines techniques soient devenus obsolètes de nos jours de mon point de vue, Niranjan en fait toujours la description afin de répondre à tous ceux qui voudraient mettre ce livre en application jusque dans les techniques les plus difficiles. Ce pavé de 620 pages donne et développe toutes les techniques exposées par Maharshi Gheranda et nous pouvons compter sur l'exceptionnelle analyse de Niranjan dont les écrits sont réputés pour leur érudition. Un livre incontournable qui complète le "Hatha Yoga Pradipika" excellemment commenté par Satyananda édité par la Bihar School également. Avec ces deux œuvres, nous possédons le principal de ce qui fut enseigné en Inde sur le Hatha Yoga.

The book arrived sooner than estimated which is great. As the book was a bit heavy, to make sure it arrives undamaged, it was packed in extra cardboard wrapper. Very happy with this seller and would use it again. As for the contents of the book itself, every yoga philosophy enthusiast knows that Gheranda Samhita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika are two core texts and ought to be studied thoroughly

Recebi o produto, recomendo o vendedor super atencioso. Livro de ótima qualidade

This is simply one of the best books I have ever read on classical yoga practices. This book provides a commentary on one of the principal source texts of Hatha yoga, I won't bother to explain the importance of this ancient text here, a quick Google search will make clear how important the Gheranda Samhita is. This commentary, by the well regarded Swami Niranjan, head of the famed Bihar School of Yoga (publisher of many other highly recommeded books on yoga), provides a verse-by-verse discussion, complete with the original Sanskrit, a transliteration, and an English translation. After each English translation is a DETAILED explanation of technique discussed in the text, including helpful background and yoga philosophy as appropriate. When I say detailed commentary, I mean literally step-by-step instructions with a list of the benefits and contraindications for each practice. Where modern versions of the ancient practice differ, he explains both the ancient way and modern way. Anyone who wants to understand the origins of classical Hatha yoga would be richly rewarded by this work.
