A concise and poetic rendering that conveys the essence and depth of this perennial classic of yoga. "This beautiful, poetic rendition of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras was gathered from Mukunda's lifetime of abiding in the good company of the saints and sages of the Great Tradition. We can rely upon the fact that these words come from his own authentic experience of love and life and of Yoga. Please enjoy this gift of poetry from Mukunda and embrace the beauty of your life every day." --Mark Whitwell, author of Yoga of Heart: The Healing Power of Intimate Connection Patanjali is to yoga what the Buddha is to Buddhism. His yoga sutras--literally "the path to transcendence"--are a means to profound self-realization and are considered the spiritual and philosophical root of the yoga tradition in its various forms. This concise, poetic rendering of the classic Yoga Sutra text conveys both the essence and depth of the yoga tradition. Mukunda Stiles had a lifelong devotion to the spiritual practice of yoga. Here, he shares Patanjali's essential work with precision and insight. He also includes a succinct line-for-line commentary, as well as word-by-word Sanskrit-to-English translation.

"A richly detailed in-depth look at "fixed stars" and their role in affecting astrological predictions. Here, celebrated astrologer Bernadette Brady melds modern techniques with Egyptian and early Greek procedures and mythology so astrologers can apply these techniques to modern chart interpretation. Her methods open a window on the fixed stars, revealing how a major star in a person's chart indicates the stage of life in which it is active, and how it reveals the person's life journey through the mythology that the star represents. The book includes: Paran Maps and Star Phases for over sixty starsNew insights into the natal use of fixed stars, as well as their use in mundane astrologyExtensive appendices of Heliacal Rising and Acronychal Setting graphs and tables to help astrologers find rising or setting dates for any given locationA listing of 176 stars with their 21st-century Ptolemaic processed positions versus their commonly-considered positions. Originally published by Weiser Books in 1999, this new Weiser Classics edition is newly typeset and redesigned. It includes a new foreword by Chloe Margherita, a practicing astrologer with an in-depth appreciation of the fixed stars. "--
