Reconciling Yogas: Haribhadra's Collection of Views on Yoga with a New Translation of Haribhadra's Yogadrstisamuccaya by Christopher Key

More about the book

Exploring the spiritual dimensions of Yoga, Haribhadra's work presents a universal perspective on religion, integrating Jaina, Hindu, and Buddhist approaches. He emphasizes a common goal of liberation across faiths, utilizing Patanjali's eightfold path as a framework for his own eight stages of Yoga, creatively titled after goddesses. The book also details unique Jaina stages of spiritual ascent and introduces two lesser-known forms of Yoga. A new translation of Haribhadra's original text, Yogadrstisamuccaya, is included, enriching the discourse on Yoga's diverse interpretations.
