FOREWORD.
..
The Yoga Philosophy-a second volume containing the speeches and writings of the Late Mr. Virchand Raghavji Gandhi was published by seth Devchand Lalbhai Jain Pustakoddbar Fund, is again published by Shree Agamodaya Samiti with an earnest desire that it shall be well studied by the new generation and the western scholars. The subject of yoga is too immense, to be treated adequately in a single small volume, particularly when it is reinenbered that several hundred thousand shlokas have been written on this subject alone by the ancient scholars. It will be found on reading this sinall volume that Mr. Gandhi has been able to grasp the subject matter brilliantly and bas been able to translate his thoughts in a very simple way, so as to make it an easy reading.
The subject matter is very interesting, and it will be found that the ancient Yoga Philosophy and its understanding and practice was far advanced than the present advance and inventive genius in these sciences. The subjects viz. the Mysticism, soul culture, occult powers, hypnotism, science of breathing, magnetism,, Pranayam, Tantras etc., are well treated in a simple way for the modern student in this small collection.
