## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A useful and well documented work.
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2019*

I don't understand the reviewer who said that this was a poorly organized book. It is extremely well organized in both practical and metaphysical terms. It is an overview, however, and for particular interests the student should follow up with studies in the appropriate literature. The five appendices augment the text with well selected examples from different schools.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Enlightening
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2013*

This book expanded many horizons for me. I would recommend it to anyone who intends to change their view of yoga from that of a workout to a spiritual journey. Phillips is experienced in the subject matter and teaches a great course at UT Austin that references this book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A comprehensive and in-depth overview of Vedic and Yoga philosophy
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 30, 2011*

I must admit at first glance and preliminary reading this book appeared sloppily written and incomprehensive, yet if you're brave enough to venture past the first chapter you are in for a journey into the world of Vedic wonder. This overview has the truth of the Vedic scriptures but written in twenty first century language, balancing that fine line between academic and comprehensive.In just a few chapter and two hundred pages, Phillips manages to create a in-depth understanding of what exactly the ancient Yogis thought about Yoga, meditation and aeschetic practice, in addition to a thorough analysis of such universal concepts as the Self, the Soul, the Bardo, the after life and Right mind (or highest mind).I cannot recommend this book enough, especially if you want to know what exactly Yoga is for, or about, and what can be accomplished through it's use.If I should subtract any 'points' it would be about this latter notion: Phillips clearly believes that Yoga can create almost supernatural "powers" (his words, not mine) which at times seems a bit over the top; He even admits that a large part of the Yoga community are sceptical of these supposed powers. But, naturally any such publication must take Some form of stand, if for nothing else than to Guide the reader, or make clear the distinction between the different school of thoughts.Though Yoga is practised by both Hindus and Buddhists, but beware that Phillips clearly takes the view of the Hindus - i.e accepting the notion of a permanent soul - and though I do so myself, and even though Phillips also - briefly - sketches the ideas of Buddhist Yoga, he obviously has a "bee in his bonnet" regarding Buddhist denial of the Self within Yoga and, again, I do agree with him, but it should be made clear that this is a book for aspiring Hindus, and less for aspiring Buddhist.I implore you to read this concise and in-depth overview of universal ideas in Vedic and Yoga culture.
