Guidelines for Yogic Practices by M.L. Gharote

The guideline for yogic practices’ is in the form of a yarn made out of the cotton bolls. Our yogic savants have left us a legacy of yoga- Shastra based on their experiments making a man psycho-physiologically balanced by influencing the internal secretions, toning up the musculature and attaining mental poise. This system is better and more effective than any other in vogue today. With the most practical outlook swami kuvalayanandji dexterously gave the old yogic practices a new dimension by providing scientific explanation and bringing the practices within the reach of common man. We have continued the thread of his yogic tradition in the book. The important stages of the practices have been illustrated to give their semi-slow motion continuity. The basic information, provided in the book, gives every man capability of reaching the acme of psycho-physical fitness required in modern times. The book forms a thread that may be termed as 'applied science'-of the old & the new -based on 'yogic practices'.

About the Author:

Dr. Manohar L. Gharote, (21-05-1931--17-01-2005) [M.A., M. Ed. (Phy.), Ph.D. (Anthrop.), Ph.D. (Alt. Med.), D. Litt., D.Y.P.], the Founder-Director of The Lonavla Yoga Institute (India) was a direct disciple of Swami Kuvalayanandaji. He worked in Kaivalyadhama in various capacities as Asstt. Director of Scientific Research, Deputy Director of Phlosophico- Literary Research and Principal of G. S. College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis for 30 years. After his retirement he established The Lonavla Yoga Institute (INDIA) and worked tirelessly till his last breath in service of Yoga in order to propagate this ancient Indian science in its original and traditional form without any conscious deviation or distortion. It is his matchless zeal and highly spirited endeavour that produced a good number of Yogic texts critically edited and published hitherto for the first time which otherwise had been preserved in the manuscript libraries in India and abroad. His noble efforts will certainly go a long way in spreading the universal message of traditional Yoga in all the times to come.
