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.

Suffused with Happiness

Never can desire be quenched
by repeated enjoyment of desires;
like butter poured on a fire
with a view to quenching it,
desire only gets inflamed thereby.
When a human being
does not have any
attitude of attachment
or hatred to any beings,
and remains always even-minded,
to that person,
all places always become
suffused with happiness.
— Srimad Bhagavatam
(From Sacred Jewels of Yoga)
