Best book on Yoga & Meditation

Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion.It is the most valuable inheritance of the present.It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow. Swami Sivananda Sarswati. This book is the most comprehensive text ever published on yoga. It contains a complete course of 36 structured lessons on all the practices of integral yoga. The lessons were compiled from the teachings given by Swami Satyananda Saraswati and are useful as a practical and theoretical guide for all levels of yoga teachers and aspirants. The book presents a synthesis of yoga in a scientific and systematic manner. The different branches of hatha yoga, mantra yoga, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jnana yoga and kriya yoga are progressively introduced with special emphasis on practice, theory and application in daily life. Includes line drawings,diagrams and colour plates. The depth of knowledge this book contains pres the link between you,the practitoner of yoga and an experienced guide and teacher.This link is your sadhana(spiritual practice),the beginning of your inner transformation,spiritual awakening and realization of higher ideals in life. The techniques covered in this book have their basis in the ancient vedic (tantric and yogic) shastras and were handed over the centuries from guru to disciple. Now in an age when travel and communication have become almost instantaneous affairs and there are more efficient methods of disseminating wisdom than the human voice and ear,we wish to offer these transcendatal instruments of grace to all who have eyes to read and ears to hear.

I came across this book in '96
I wasn't consistent in following its principles and practices, but this book has always helped me out in my tough times(especially the chapters on Yoga Nidra). I have not been more influenced by anything else than by this.
Buy the hard copy (and read it)- you will be making a really good investment........
The techniques stated in this book require no particular belief or faith, only practice

To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this book but downloaded it just because of Sivananda's name...who I believe to be one of the genuine ones. I've only read about 50 pages and to my surprise this book has explained hard to understand facts in such simple manner that almost anyone can grasp the knowledge...
So. I've taken a break from reading the book and created an account here just to thank the uploader.
Thanks a lot pmp_2010 for sharing this!
