Gheranda Samhita: Commentary on the Yoga Teachings of Sage Gheranda by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
Gheranda Samhita is a classical text describing seven limbs of yoga as taught by Sage Gheranda to his disciple, King Chandakapali. Sage Gheranda outlines a system which can take the serious aspirant from purification of the body to the highest states of samadhi and knowledge of the soul.
Distinguishing it from other hatha yoga systems, Sage Gheranda’s seven limbs includes the tattwa dharanas (concentrations on the elements) and the seamless merging of hatha yoga and tantra by combining show more mudras, bandhas and pranayamas with mantra, yantra and mandala. The natural flow of this potent process into dhyana and samadhi is beautifully discussed, bringing the teachings to a sublime conclusion.
The commentary by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati guides the modern reader through the details of the practices, many of which are complex, rarely described and cryptically expressed by the sage. Comprehensive instructions are given for all the techniques, while subtle understandings and insights into the underlying philosophy and purpose are presented with beauty and simplicity.

“The application of the teachings of Sage Vasishtha made Sri Rama an idol and a hero, and he continues to be the inspiration for all people in the Indian subcontinent and beyond. Not because he is God, not because he is considered to be an avatara, but because he became the perfect human being. This is the message of Yoga Vasishtha: how to become the best person that you can be, your perfect self, and apply the principles of Sage Vasishtha in your life.”

“An institution is not an inheritance. Buildings and wealth are not the inheritance of a sadhu. A sadhu’s wealth and assets are the qualities he lives with lifelong. It is a disciple’s duty to strengthen the ideals that he upholds, lives and conducts himself with every day of his life. This is sannyasa. People think of sannyasa as renunciation, but sannyasa is connection; connection with oneself, one’s mind, spirit and creativity, with knowledge and dispassion, and with a philosophy show more which guides every step of life.”
The Yogadrishti (Yogavision) series of satsangs consists of discourses given by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati in Munger as part of the new phase of sannyasa life that he has embarked upon since 2009.

"Yoga has been defined as union, but before we can experience union we have to connect. Connection is the definition of yoga for the new millennium. Yoga is not taking a different direction. It is the human perception that has to take the appropriate step. Yoga is an experiment to change our perception and convert our understanding into applied wisdom. Yoga gives us the awareness that it is now time to act and take responsibility for ourselves and others."
