For example, the number one is the quintessential yoga number, representing \"unity\" and \"wholeness\"; number two sometimes stands for co-operative effort, and other times for conflict; and number four is the number of completeness or stability, as it \"stands\" on \"four legs.\" There are twelve different names for the mantra OM, each one revealing a different aspect of this root sound. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith his distinctive blend of knowledge and humor, Richard Rosen unpacks the fascinating significance that numbers hold in the philosophy and practice of yoga.
