Story
When Autobiography of a Yogi first appeared in 1946, it was acclaimed as a landmark work in its field. The New York Times hailed it as "a rare account". Newsweek pronounced it "fascinating". The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray." Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.

Story
Sometimes illumination occurs spontaneously or, as Ram Dass experienced, in a cosmic moment of the heart opening. More commonly, it happens when we remove the dust from the mirror of our spiritual heart with daily practice - to see beyond the illusion of our transient thoughts and emotions to the vast and luminous landscape of our true nature.

Story
This audio collection brings us five essential sessions, featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, presented here in their entirety. Each beautifully illuminates a core dimension of Ram Dass’s wisdom. Through teaching stories, true accounts, eye-opening revelations, and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, this legendary teacher helps show us the way out of the prison of our self-identity - and into the joy of being at once “nobody” and the universal divine at play in the world.

Story
The author Sri "M" is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow-clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a "real-time" yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents. The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....

A revised version of the thesis was published by Routledge in 2007.
After completing his doctoral studies, Dr. Mallinson worked as a principal translator for the Clay Sanskrit Library, for which he produced five volumes of translations of Sanskrit poetry.

Among the project’s numerous outputs will be critical editions of 10 key Sanskrit texts on Haṭha Yoga and four monographs detailing its history and current practice in India.
In addition to his textual studies, Dr Mallinson’s work on the history of Yoga is informed by the several years he has spent living with traditional Yogis in India.

Enjoyable and informative
I need to remind myself that the topic is vast, and so this really is a very good attempt to cover a lot of territory in little time. Mallinson's ability to tell little stories to elucidate a point is very yogic and most enjoyable. There is a little repetition, but he is so obviously engrossed in his subject and so knowledgeable, that he's forgiven for that. And I could listen to his delightful and restful voice forever.
It's rare to find this kind of audiobook, written as it is by an academic yogi, and I'm very glad I found it.

Deeply insightful, engaging and eloquent
Dr Mallinson provides the most fascinating, engaging, deeply researched and eloquently delivered teachings of Hatha yoga I have come across.
This has become the key Hatha resource in my ‘library’, and I’ll keep coming back to it. Fantastic.
