Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism

About this book

Breath, thought, the astral body and the question of what survives death all appear in Yogi Ramacharaka's fourteen lessons. The chapters unfold in the reassuring voice of a teacher who believes the unseen world can be explained step by step.

Published for Western students of occultism, the series blends selected Indian philosophical ideas with the New Thought language of its period. Each lesson adds another piece to a system of mind, subtle forces and spiritual development. The practical structure helps explain the book's popularity, while its sweeping claims about yoga need to be understood as one early twentieth-century interpretation.
