Part 9 of The Ultimate Book on Yoga

Summary

In this last and final part of the series, the authors discuss the ultimate goal of Yoga from different perspectives. In doing so, the book explains the concept of Kaivalya as envisioned by Patanjali, the concept of Nirvana as put forth by the Buddhists, and finally the altruistic goal of universalization as talked about by the ancient Upanishads.

These are the goals as seen from different levels and from different perspectives. The book concludes by explaining how the universalization stands apart as the most desirable goal that has practical implications beyond individual achievements.

In this highly insightful book, the author gives a thorough re-look into the actual underlying principles of Yoga and presents Yoga in terms of simple, practicable, down-to-earth instructions, free of mysticism, while analyzing each aspect scientifically,based on recent advancements in neuroscience.
