Yoga: Discipline of Freedom

The Yoga Sutra Attributed to Patanjali

By: Barbara Stoler Miller

Dating from about the third century A.D., the Yoga Sutra distills the essence of the physical and spiritual discipline of yoga into fewer than two hundred brief aphorisms. It is the core text for any study of meditative practice, revered for centuries for its brilliant analysis of mental states and of the process by which inner liberation is achieved. Yet its difficulties are legendary, and until now, no translation has made it fully accessible. This new translation, hailed by Yoga Journal for its "unsurpassed readability," is by one of the leading Sanskrit scholars of our time, whose Bhagavad Gita has become a recognized classic. It includes an introduction to the philosophy and psychology underlying the Yoga Sutra, the full text with explanatory commentary, and a glossary of key terms in Sanskrit and English.

The Bhagavad-Gita

Krishna's Counsel in Time of War

By: Barbara Stoler Miller

The Bhagavad-Gita has been an essential text of Hindu culture in India since the time of its composition in the first century A.D. One of the great classics of world literature, it has inspired such diverse thinkers as Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and T.S. Eliot; most recently, it formed the core of Peter Brook's celebrated production of the Mahabharata.

Yoga—Timeless Wisdom

The Path of Awakening to Your True Self

By: Foster Walker,Barbara Wiebe

What is the full gift of Yoga for us moderns? Dedicated educators Foster and Barbara draw on their professional and personal experience to provide an organic perspective on the whole of Yoga. Their book offers a concise overview of the history and purpose of Yoga and its relevance to our concerns, needs, and our deep longing. Numerous quotes selected from the classic texts highlight Yoga as the natural movement of examining mind and consciousness. Yoga is revealed as the inner work of self-inquiry, how to awaken to innate peace and happiness. This book demonstrates how the millennia-old path of Yoga, congruent with the best of contemporary spiritual teachings, is a practiced and proven approach to the dismantling of ego-mind, freeing one from patterns of reactivity and discontent. Classical Yoga answers the heart’s yearning to transcend suffering, to realize the truth of what we really are—the presence of awareness that is True Self. Yoga—Timeless Wisdom: The Path of Awakening to Your True Self throws light on an ancient practice that resonates with the inborn urge to fulfill our human destiny. In this introduction to Classical Yoga discover how to: • Integrate the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras • Unpack the essence of the Four Paths and Eight Limbs of Yoga • Embody the transformative practice of being present • Connect with the truth that all sages point to • Experience the clarity and joy of realizing True Self

The Indian Princes and their States

The Indian Princes and their States

By: Barbara N. Ramusack

Although the princes of India have been caricatured as oriental despots and British stooges, Barbara Ramusack's study argues that the British did not create the princes. On the contrary, many were consummate politicians who exercised considerable degrees of autonomy until the disintegration of the princely states after independence. Ramusack's synthesis has a broad temporal span, tracing the evolution of the Indian kings from their pre-colonial origins to their roles as clients in the British colonial system. The book breaks ground in its integration of political and economic developments in the major princely states with the shifting relationships between the princes and the British. It represents a major contribution, both to British imperial history in its analysis of the theory and practice of indirect rule, and to modern South Asian history, as a portrait of the princes as politicians and patrons of the arts.

Women in Asia

Restoring Women to History

By: Barbara N. Ramusack,Sharon L. Sievers

Barbara N. Ramusack writes on South and Southeast Asia, surveying both the prescriptive roles and the lived experiences of women, as well as the construction of gender from early states to the 1990s. Although both regions are home to Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim religious traditions and had extended trade relations, they reveal striking differences in the status and roles of women and the processes of cultural adaptation. Sharon Sievers presents an verview of women's participation in the histories of China, Japan, and Korea from prehistory to the modern period that provides a framework for incorporating women into world history classrooms. It offers analyses on major issues derived from recent research and discusses such stereotypical cultural practices as footbinding (long seen as "exotic" in the West) in the context of women's lives.
