Recognized globally as one of the foremost Yoga and Meditation masters of our time, Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) is a living descendant of a long line of respected yogis.

This is a collection based on the recordings of his satsangs (spiritual gatherings, seminars, lectures and talks) in Europe from 1982 to 1986. When you are reading this book, you are truly transported to these lectures where you can totally visualize yourself sitting right there in front of him. These talks are on the spiritual dimensions of yoga and are given in the sweetly simple, yet profound way of Swamiji.
