Reconciling Yogas

Více o knize

The book explores the diverse religious perspectives on Yoga as articulated by the eighth-century sage Haribhadra, who advocated for a universal understanding of faith. It examines five approaches to Yoga from Jaina, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions, emphasizing the common goal of liberation. Haribhadra's unique eight stages of Yoga, inspired by Patanjali's framework, are creatively titled after goddesses. Additionally, the text includes a new translation of Haribhadra's Yogadrstisamuccaya, shedding light on his insights and the Jaina stages of spiritual ascent.
