Few causes are more worthy than that of enlightening Westerners about India's sacred heritage, and this book succeeds in doing that wondrously.
-Huston Smith, author of The  World's Religions

An exquisite compilation of yoga wisdom revealing the heart of Indian spirituality.
-New World Library 

Sacred Jewels of Yoga presents in very powerful and inspiring language the eternal yoga wisdom of ancient India. I am sure that the spiritual teachings offered in this beautiful anthology will appeal to the modern seekers of America. May they be inspired to progress toward this life's goal.

Behold the Glory of the Self

Hidden in the heart
of every creature
exists the Self,
subtler than the subtlest,
greater than the greatest.

They go beyond sorrow
who extinguish their self-will
and behold the glory of the Self,
through the grace of the Lord of Love.
— Katha Upanishad
(From Sacred Jewels of Yoga)
