Book on Yoga Vasistha was overdue. There has always been a demand for such a book from various seekers. The Yoga Vasistha is considered as one of the Classics of the Vedanta philosophy. Many sincere student of Vedanta never fail to have deep study of this text. The present book, Yoga Vasistha Sara Sangrahah, is condensed from of the original Yoga Vasistha running to 32,000 verses by Sage Valmiki, the author of Ramayana. In only 86 verses spreading over seven chapters, Swami Tejomayanandaji has thoughtfully brought out the essence of the teaching of sage Vasistha to Sri Rama. Though Yoga Vasistha is primarily meant for highly advanced seekers with a high degree of dispassion, the commentary of Swamiji is so clear and to the point that even a novice in the path of spirituality can dive through it on his own. We are happy that the sankalpa-s of so many seekers have finally materialised into this small book full of wisdom. May all derive benefit from it.
