The Divine origin and meaning of Breath for human life according to Yoga philosophy and meditation coupled with the harmonization of the consciousness-bearing life force, Prana.

The spiritual teachings of life as shared deep within the forest sanctuaries of ancient India are of immense value to us even today. Although the cultural and spiritual referents of her writings emerge from the idyllic forest ashrams of India’s Vedic Age thousands of years ago, Srimati Kamala draws from her memories of life with her guru, Swami Premananda, from a profound spiritual tradition and from her own meditations and musings.

This volume presents the English translation of the three Upanishads which deal directly with the way, the ritual and the revelation of Kriya Yoga, the specific technique of subjective meditation by which man during his sojourn on earth is capable of attaining the realization of God.

"The great sage Patanjali presented for all seekers of light and truth a unique book on the philosophy and science of yoga. The book is generally known as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Sutras is the plural from of the singular noun sutra, a Sanskrit word meaning thread. The implication here is that, just as the pearls of a beautiful necklace are held together by a central thread, even so all the ideals, concepts, principles, techniques and methods of yoga are coordinated with and guided by the central truth of God and the realization of God. In this little volume I present my translation of the first chapter only, the chapter on Samadhi, realization. In the truest sense, the first chapter embodies the spiritual essence of this sacred scripture."
