The Essence of Yoga
by Georg Feuerstein
Georg Feuerstein, one of the world's foremost scholars of yoga, and Jeanine Miller, long recognized for her insightful commentaries on the RgVeda, here pool their considerable talents in a look at the development of yogic thought across the ages and its similarities with the Christian mysticism of Meister Eckhart. Two of their essays included here-one concerning the essence of yoga and the other looking at the meaning of suffering in yoga-have long been singled out by indologists for correcting prevalent misconceptions and providing a conceptual framework for many of the subsequent studies in that field.

Feuerstein and Miller are long recognized as authorities on the yogic tradition. For any scholar of Yoga or the Christian mysticism of Meister Eckhart, this book is a boon.
Ken Wilber, author of Sex, Ecology, Spirituality:
... sane and solid, careful and compassionate, and yet he always sheds new light and understanding..
