Praise for Princeton?s previous editions: "[Yoga: Immortality and Freedom] states with clarity and precision what the beliefs and practices of yoga are, and how they originated from the primeval Indic religions."--New Yorker Praise for Princeton?s previous editions: "[M]any of the scholars who have laboured to translate or interpret the Eastern scriptures have been handicapped by their own prejudices and preconceptions... Eliade is emphatically not one of them."--Times Literary Supplement Praise for Princeton?s previous editions: "[T]he best single book on yoga... As a young man, [Eliade] lived for years in India practising authentic yoga and experienced all its phenomena, but he was in addition a master of all the relevant texts in the original Sanskrit, and his book is unrivalled for its scholarship."--Robert Temple, Spectator Praise for Princeton?s previous editions: "There has rarely been a book in English which treats the mental discipline of Yoga in such exhaustive detail... [A] work that is likely to remain standard for many years to come."--Herbert Cahoon, Library Journal "This is ... a book that will ... whet the appetite of your intellect. It also offers the reader so much more insight into the tenets of yoga than the multitude of self-help books on meditation and how-to-do-yoga will ever give. In Yoga: Immortality and Freedom, Eliade analyzes in detail a religion and tradition that for years was his lifestyle. Get ready for some massive reading."--Minna Forsell, Metaspychology Online Reviews
