Йогарахасья Шри Натхамуни ( древний трактат по йоге в изложении Шри Кришнамачарьи)

Every year in the West, interest in the spiritual traditions

and practical methods of the East is growing. Every year there are more and more people who appreciate the versatility and effectiveness of Yoga methods for the targeted spiritual and physical improvement of their being. And every year more and more new styles and concepts emerge in line with the Yoga Tradition. But one way or another, their developers start from older methods, trying to

transform and adapt them to particular goals and specific tasks

existing for certain individuals living in a particular

country under the conditions of current times and social trends. This is why information about the fundamental,

key positions of ancient texts about Yoga is becoming increasingly valuable. After all, they are the ones who allow

to see and not lose the essence of Yoga in the process of such dynamic reforms of its

technologies. Despite the existing diversity of schools, the most

numerous and widely represented throughout the world today

still remain the schools of Iyengar yoga B.K.S. Iyengar, Ashtanga-

vinyasa-yoga Pattabhi Jois and Vini-yoga Desikachar - students of

the legendary teacher Krishnamacharya.

Many would be interested in learning more about the conceptual foundations ,

which Krishnamacharya himself relied on. It is this material

that is offered to readers in this publication. “Yogarahasya” was strongly

recommended to me for reading in 1994 by B.K.S. Iyengar in

Mysore, and this text was presented to me personally by Desikachar at a

conference in New York in 2000.

The text of “Yogarahasya” is offered to your attention. without a doubt

will arouse greater interest not so much among beginners as among experienced

practitioners seeking to delve deeper into the essence of Yoga and understand it.
