Based upon the Vedic version and his own unique experiences as a bhakti yogi spanning almost six decades, Swami Narasingha cuts through the superficial hype and monistic misconceptions that surround yoga today.

He brings us back to the basic understanding of what yoga truly is - namely the theistic path of spiritual perfection. At a time when so many seekers of the truth look toward the East for answers to life's questions, Yoga Vichar is a timely publication, and it is our hope that the listener will obtain guidance and benefit from this book.
