For nearly forty years, Swami Kripalvanandji was a pilgrim on the path of yoga.  For more than half of that time, he maintained total silence and meditated 10 hours each day to aid his journey toward self-realization.In 1977, despite the rigorous demands of his spiritual practices, he traveled from his home in India to the Kripalu Yoga Retreat in eastern Pennsylvania and spoke almost daily for three months - astonishing American audiences with his wisdom.  During his remaining four years in America, he spoke only two occasions each year - the traditional Indian festival called Guru Purnima and the birthday celebration held in his honor.  These were times of profound learning for all who came to hear.  Now his teachings are available in a three volume set.Volume I of Pilgrimage of Love makes available translations of Swami Kripalvanandji's discourses on the yamas which, when combined with the niyamas, form the foundation of yoga as a way of life.  This unique collection provides the reader with practical guidance and in-depth understanding for using yogic observances to accelerate personal growth and obtain peace of mind.

Swami Shri Kripalvanandji

Kripalu Yoga Fellowship

<p>For nearly forty years, Swami Kripalvanandji was a pilgrim on the path of yoga. For more than half of that time, he maintained total silence and meditated 10 hours each day to aid his journey towards self-realization. In 1977, despite the rigorous demands of his spiritual practices, he traveled from his home in India to the Kripalu Yoga Retreat in eastern Pennsylvania and spoke almost daily for three months - astonishing American audiences with his wisdom. During his remaining four years in America, he spoke on only two occasions each year - the traditional Indian festival called Guru Purnima and the birthday celebration held in his honor. These were times of profound learning for all who came to hear. Now his teachings are available in a three volume set. Volume II of Pilgrimage of Love presents translations of Swami Kripalvanandji's discourses on niyamas - disciplines which form one half of yoga's ethical foundation. Virtues such as charity, patience, and compassion are often discussed today, but rarely have they been clarified as precisely and lovingly as they are in these teachings by one of the world's great yoga masters.</p>
