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.

<p>Just as the purpose of Zen archery is not merely to hit the target; the purpose of the martial arts not just to overcome the enemy; and the purpose of koans not just to find the answer; so also in Kripalu Yoga the purpose of the practice of postures is not merely to perfect the postures or obtain their physical benefits. Rather it is to use them as a powerful tool to transcend the limitations of the ego-minded and to awaken the mysterious power of prana.'This volume is the second on a series on Kripalu Yoga, a radically new approach to traditional yoga practice, created by Yogi Amrit Desai in 1970. The first volume gave an overview of Kripalu Yoga theory because understanding this theory is the key to successful practice of Kripalu Yoga, which is discussed in this second volume. Here in Book II, Yogi Desai describes the techniques for gradual awakening of prana through the medium of traditional hatha yoga postures and pranayama, and also a unique method of incorporating the more advanced practices and raja yoga into the practice of hatha yoga. This paves the way for Meditation-in-Motion. Detailed instructions are given for daily practice of Stages 1 and 2 of Kripalu Yoga with the essential new characteristic of focusing inward.</p>
