The Deeper Dimension of Yoga is Up There!	2/8/2004
Reviewer: A reader Vancoover Island, Canada
Georg Feuerstein has produced a large number of books. This is my all-time favorite, because it covers in essay form a vast territory. All the essays are highly readable and thought-provoking. Let's have more of this sort of anthology.
