Product Description
Practical Yoga Psychology is an attempt to simply blend the teachings of yoga with those of psychology, psychiatry and other branches of Western science to give us an overview of the human personality, an idea of where we are going, and guidelines to proceed on our journey.
The great mysteries in our lives are the understanding of our personality; how we relate with other people and the world around us, and our place, if any, in the vast scheme of things.
The other question we face is how we can improve our personal experience and our interactions with society, so that we live a happy, harmonious and helpful life.
For thousands of years yoga has been addressing these questions and supplying the answers to them. Practical Yoga Psychology covers some of those answers. Product Details

Reviewer: Reader from Indiana, United States
Over a couple of days and nights I had absorbed and soaked the principles laid in this treatise from cover to cover. In short, the book felt "un-put-downable". What makes the read luminous, is the clarity with which Vivekananda describes ancient terms from Yoga, Samkhya and Tantra, that are being regurgitated constantly and (mis)appropriated incessantly by the new age gurus, rushing out their latest offering that hams together many of these ideas to suit the palate of the recently minted fans of "everything to do with yoga".
He doesn't take much of our time, with short practical statements he makes subtle distinctions, to help the reader recognize the complex variations that birth the chakra-guna-kosha-antahkarana complex of each individual self. And then, he proceeds to elaborate on the possibility of maturing our particular state of self to the next "better" possibility...again using non-mystical vocabulary, very precisely as though laying out the most easy to access set of things the 21rst C. self can do"!
A pure and wondrous book that would luminate the library of those who already have a remarkable collections of the texts from the Satyananda Yoga School. In short I would recommend it as a must read for the serious practitioner of classical Yoga, interesting in getting to the essence of Yoga's promise for divinizing our human potential.
