Today, millions
of westerners have made yoga a popular way to relax, stay in shape and
relieve stress. But what few people know is that the stretches, bends
and other asanas of yoga are just the tiny tip of an ancient, universal
spiritual pathway. Now, expand your yoga practice to include the eternal
wisdom of "spiritual yoga." Known as Vedanta in India, spiritual yoga
has little to do with the yoga that has become so popular in the West.
Vedanta imparts knowledge -- the highest knowledge and wisdom known
to humankind.
Although virtually
unknown in the West, Yoga-Vedanta is beyond any religion, western or
eastern. Instead, it is a spiritual science, one whose goal is to first
cleanse the mind through a variety of simple practices, then to grasp
the revelations that arise from following these practices. As this knowledge
becomes fixed and assimilated, one lives the awesome life of a yogi
or yogini, gaining physical and even metaphysical benefits and powers
nearly inconceivable to most people.
This pathway can
be mastered by anyone who feels drawn toward discovering wholeness and
meaning in life. But understandable knowledge of this pathway can be
almost impossible to find for one who is steeped in the traditions of
the West. This is because most masters of yoga-Vedanta are East Indian,
coming from a different culture and encountering language barriers that
go with it.
However our publications
are all written and produced by Michael Blate, a long-established
American yogi and world traveler. He has taught and written for Westerners
about spiritual yoga and its practices for nearly three decades. The
publications and programs found here reveal this most remarkable base
of timeless wisdom ever presented to the Western seeker of yoga knowledge.
