Samyama: the Power of Self Transformation (Yoga the Sacred Science Book 3‪)‬

Samyama the Power of Self-Transformation is the third and final volume of Yoga the Sacred Science, a series based on Swami Rama’s comments on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and other aspects of yoga science and philosophy. Samyama represents the culmination of the sacred inner journey to the center of consciousness that resides in every human being. The main theme, as can be induced from the title, is power. This is not a novel that can be read hurriedly from cover to cover, as you will soon realize. It requires several slow readings to appreciate and savor the beauty of yoga science and how to apply it in daily life to access one’s personal power and inner knowledge. Anyone who has tried to study the Yoga Sutras without a guide can attest to how difficult it is to understand them. Within the text, Swamiji mentions that even after studying the Yoga Sutras many times in his youth, he did not understand them until he was taught by authentic yoga masters. Swamiji has shared the precious knowledge he was given to assist those who are sincerely on the spiritual path to more easily understand the sutras and especially their practical aspects. Hopefully, this volume will serve to clarify the true meaning of the Yoga Sutras and will serve as a guide to those persons who have the courage to embark on the sacred journey of self-transformation to reach its limitless and unfathomable goal of the highest state of consciousness. The final reality is silence.
