This book is a compilation from the various published works of the holy master Sri Swami Sivananda, including some of his earliest works extending as far back as the late thirties. The questions and answers deal with some of the commonest but most vital, doubts raised by practicing spiritual aspirants. What invests these answers and explanations with great value is the authority, not only of the sage's intution,but also of his personal experience. Swami Sivananda was a sage whose first concern, even first love, shall we say, was the spiritual seeker, the Yoga student. Sivananda lived to serve them: and this priceless volume is the outcome of that Seva Bhav (service inclination) of the great Master.
