Yoga - Madness Or Meditation?

Book excerpt: Just because something is 'yogic' or part of the Indian culture does not mean that you, as a yoga student, have to accept it or agree with it and believe it to be true. You have your own judgement, your own mind, your own conviction, your own faith and your own rationale. Do not insult your own intelligence and your own authentic self by assuming that everything that has the label "yoga" on it has to be authentic or true". WARNING!This is not another airy fairy book on Yoga. That has been done over and over again. Zahir attempts to demystify yoga and help the student better understand the vast complexities of this ancient system. Some of Zahir's views will offend delicate 'yogis' and chakra cleansers and teachers who say "the knee shall never travel over the toe", but at the same time this book will offer valuable illumination on the subject of 'yoga'. What exactly is yoga?Zahir say's that Yoga is either Madness or Meditation. This all depends on a state of mind.
