Get connected to the roots of yoga with the first English translation of Thirumoolar's classic masterpiece of yoga, tantra and Saiva Siddhantha, the gospel of the Tamil Yoga Siddhas. It has inspired the daily life of millions in south India and helped to produce its greatest yogis and saints for the past 2,000 years. Written in 3,047 poetic gem-like verses which go far beyond Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras" in scope and depth, this international edition has been designed to facilitate the understanding of the reader with explanatory remarks in the special introductory sections, extensive footnotes, a detailed glossary, index and numerous illustrations. From the most mundane to the most sublime areas of life it provides illuminating guidance and inspiration for Self-realization and Self-transformation.
"The Thirumandiram is as important a yoga scripture as the 'Bhagavad Gita', the 'Yoga Sutras', or
the voluminous and inspiring 'Yoga Vaisihtha'. This outstanding text is now available in a fine three-volume edition thanks
to Marshall Govindan's labor of love."
– Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D., contributing editor of "Yoga Journal" and author of the "Yoga Sutras of Patanjali", the "Encyclopedia of Yoga" and over 20 other books, in the January 1996 edition of the "Yoga Journal".
