Summary: illustrative enlightenment
Comment: it's amazing how analogies have the power to reveal to you the state of your own core beliefs. this book presents high ideas you can chew on and allow to point you toward the underlying reality of this design. walk through the stages of consciousness in this book only to realize that you your Self are what you've been looking for in everything that you've searched for.
this book is full of ancient spiritual wisdom and it is presented in such creative and expansive ways.
really amazing depth of thought and vision!

Summary: A Monumental work
Comment: When I got the book from Amazon, I was all pumped up to read and finish the book as quickly as possible. I also was determined not to rush thru the pages without understanding everything in depth. But when I reached 200+ pages, I realized that it is such a monumental work and it would take its own course towards completion, however I might try to "drink-it-all-at-once" and whatever be my enthusiasm.
A few days I was able to understand and proceed faster and for many days I was stuck in a single page contemplating the meaning. The truth is that the contents of the book gradually grew on me and any effort on my side was just to aid it. The tons of stories, allegorical statements, profound sayings found in the book have affected me very deep inside that I can only admire it in wonder as to how it all happened inspite of me. Venkatesananda's command over the stuff he's talking about is evident in every word contained in the book.
I can only be thankful for everything that helped me in buying this book.

Summary: Fractal Hinduism
Comment: Vasistha's Yoga, supposedly the third longest book in the world, appears in this concise edition, superbly translated and deflowered, which is to say that it steers clear of Platonic, Aristotelean and Judeo-Christian biases while excising the poetic, Kalidasa-esque sections. As for the work itself, it forces its reader to get practical with his or her view of the spiritual - no "love and light" allowed - while at the same time undermining the solidity of the material. The format is one of stories, within stories within stories, interspersed with Upanishad-like instruction, which makes for a very compelling read. One caveat: a danger to uncritical, spiritual escapists.
