Yoga in the Twentieth Century (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781168678683)

Yoga In The Twentieth Century is a book written by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely that explores the history and evolution of yoga in the modern era. The book covers the period from the early 1900s to the 1960s and traces the development of yoga in the West, from its introduction by Indian teachers to its adoption by Western practitioners.The author examines the various schools of yoga that emerged during this period, including Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga, and discusses the contributions of key figures such as Swami Vivekananda, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Sri Aurobindo.Szekely also explores the role of yoga in the broader context of spiritual and cultural movements of the twentieth century, including the New Age movement and the counterculture of the 1960s. He examines the ways in which yoga was adapted and transformed to suit the needs and aspirations of Western practitioners, and how it became a popular tool for personal growth and self-realization.Overall, Yoga In The Twentieth Century provides a comprehensive overview of the history and significance of yoga in the modern era, and sheds light on the ways in which this ancient practice has been adapted and transformed to meet the needs of contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
