Description
Swami Yogeshwaranand Saraswati was a great Yogi of his time who had attained perfect mastery over Samadhi. His knowledge of self and God is based on the intuitive experiences which he gained in deep meditation.
Although he followed Samkhya-Yoga systems of Philosophy, yet he deviated from their concepts wherever he experienced truth differently in his meditative vision. His views about the Vrittis and Samskaras are radically different from what is believed by Samkhya School of Philosophy.
In this present book the author has analysed and discussed some of the most radical aspects of the Philosophy of Swami Yogeshwaranand. His approach is critical but he is also appreciative of some of the findings of Swami Yogeshwaranand which have enriched the Samkhya Philosophy or which have contributed to the removal of cobwebs surrounding the orthodox systems to augment the existing knowledge.
He has done a commendable job of giving exposure to the Philosophy of Swami Yogeshwaranand on the one hand and enlarging the scope of research and analysis of some of the fundamental characteristics of Samkhya thought.
