Since the 1960s, yoga has become a billion-dollar industry in the West, attracting housewives and hipsters, New Agers and the old-aged. But our modern conception of yoga derives much from nineteenth-century European spirituality, and the true story of yoga’s origins in South Asia is far richer, stranger, and more entertaining than most of us realize. To uncover this history, David Gordon White focuses on yoga’s practitioners. Combing through millennia of South Asia’s vast and diverse literature, he discovers that yogis are usually portrayed as wonder-workers or sorcerers who use their dangerous supernatural abilities—which can include raising the dead, possession, and levitation—to acquire power, wealth, and sexual gratification. As White shows, even those yogis who aren’t downright villainous bear little resemblance to Western assumptions about them. At turns rollicking and sophisticated, Sinister Yogis tears down the image of yogis as detached, contemplative teachers, finally placing them in their proper context.

B.K.S. Iyengar--hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" (BBC) and considered by many to be one of the most important yoga masters--has spent much of his life introducing the modern world to the ancient practice of yoga. Yoga's popularity is soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic tradition can also offer. In Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar brings readers this new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey. Here Iyengar explores the yogic goal to integrate the different parts of the self (body, emotions, mind, and soul), the role that the yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness, the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path, and how yoga can transform our lives and help us to live in harmony with the world around us. For the first time, Iyengar uses stories from his own life, humor, and examples from modern culture to illustrate the profound gifts that yoga offers. Written with the depth of this sage's great wisdom, Light on Life is the culmination of a master's spiritual genius, a treasured companion to his seminal Light on Yoga.

Author Dev Prana considers himself a Muslim on Fridays, a Jew on Saturdays, a Christian on Sundays, and a Buddhist on Mondays. Regardless of the faith he explores on any given day, each and every day he tries to be a walking embodiment of love, peace, and kindness. He is a student of religion, but it was not always this way. Twenty years ago, as he sought peace through study, he ended up tumbling over life's purpose. Spiritual Quest of a Baby Yogi is one seeker's search for truth amidst the many religions of the modern world and his eventual realization that all religions lead to one Father of the Universe. No matter the book- Quran or Bible-and no matter the figure-Buddha or Jesus Christ- all spiritual striving focuses on the similar foundations of unconditional love, nonviolence, and inner peace. As human beings, it is important we make an honest attempt to seek God in order to achieve enlightenment. We are different races with different beliefs, but we share this earth as one. Together, we can fill it with peace and love, but we must first make a spiritual connection with the higher power. It is time to become devout students of spirituality in order to make this world a better place.
