We have uploaded the entire book ‘Essence of Pranayama’.
Excerpts from Author’s note
This book on the Essence of Pranayama has been prepared keeping in view the needs
of all those who would like to undertake the practice of Pranayama in all its seriousness.
It is also addressed to those who are interested in using these practices, not only
for the spiritual purpose but also for its application in the field of health and
healing.
The aim of this book is to help the student to grasp this essential nature of the
Pranayama. All the relevant information from this point of view can be found in
this book, yet it does not claim to be either the exhaustive treatise on Pranayama
or the work which could replace personal teaching. It is to be used mainly as the
friendly companion while learning Pranayama under the guidance of some expert teachers.
For more exhaustive treatment of this subject, the reader should refer to the ''Pranayama'',
an excellent book written by Swami Kuvalayananda, the founder of Kaivalyadhama.
