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.

Unshakeable Love for the Lord

Krishna, the friend of devotees,
purifies the heart of those who take his name.
He manifests in the hearts of those
who hear the accounts of his deeds,
and erases all the evil tendencies
blocking their spiritual development.

When the obstructing evil tendencies
are mitigated,
through constant application to
the service of holy men and women,
and the study of holy Scriptures,
one develops a steady and unshakable love
for the Lord of abounding glory and grace.
— Srimad Bhagavatam
(From Sacred Jewels of Yoga)
