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.

The World Is the River of God

The world is the wheel of God,
turning round and round
with all living creatures upon its rim.
The world is the river of God,
flowing from him and flowing back to him.

On this ever-revolving wheel of being
the individual self goes round and round,
through life after life,
believing itself to be a separate creature,
until it sees its identity with the Lord of Love
and attains immortality in the indivisible whole.
— Shvetashvatara Upanishad
(From Sacred Jewels of Yoga)
