Yoga is both the science of self-awareness and the art of harmonizing the body, mind, and soul.
This book presents a detailed exploration of Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga (also known as Raja Yoga) alongside its allied and derivative paths, including Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Japa Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga.
It delves into various aspects such as the subtle anatomy of the human being, characterized by the Kosha-s and Chakra-s, the states of the Self; the dynamics of sound and silence; meditation techniques; the role of Mudra-s in spiritual practice; the awakening of Kundalini Shakti within the pranic body; and the significance of faith, prayer, satsanga, japa, kirtana, and virtuous deeds in aligning the self with the divine.
Additionally, the book offers insights on maintaining health by optimizing Prana Shakti (vital force), managing the fluctuations of the mind, overcoming distractions in yogic practice, cultivating divine grace, and attaining the transcendental state of Turiya the fourth dimension of Being.
Drawing primarily from original sources, The Yogic Nectar provides spiritual wisdom for self-awareness, enabling readers to dwell in higher consciousness and navigate life's journey with poise, calmness, and dignity.
