Author: Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati (Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D.)

Here Shri Brahmananda elucidates the real purpose of human life - to become conscious of our natural state of union with all existence. This is not only the purpose of yoga, he declares, but also it is the aim of all systems and branches of science, psychology and philosophy.

In this small volume, numerous methods of yoga and meditation are presented, showing the way to experience our natural being, pure consciousness beyond the body and mind, which is the source of all healing and of final enlightenment.
