Produktinformationen zu „Yoga, Karma, and Rebirth: A Brief History and Philosophy “
In discussing the discipline's fundamental commitments, Phillips explores traditional teachings of hatha yoga, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, and Tantra and shows how such core concepts as self-monitoring consciousness, karma, nonharmfulness (ahimsa), reincarnation, and the powers of consciousness relate to modern practice. He outlines values implicit in bhakti yoga and the Tantric yoga of beauty and art and explains the occult psychology of koshas, skandhas, and chakras. His book incorporates original translations from the early Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutra, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and seminal Tantric writings of the tenth-century Kashmiri Shaivite, Abhinava Gupta. Phillips helps nonscholars with a glossary that defines more than three hundred terms and an extensive bibliography. By tracing yoga's conceptual legacy through multiple classical and modern texts, Phillips reveals the ideas about self and reality that unite yoga's incarnations.
