Origins of Yoga: Quest for the Spiritual (2005)

While the popularity of Yoga in the West is enormous, few people realize where yoga came from. Yoga is often seen as an exercise regime, yet it is a path to the inner self, the Divine, and the physical benefits of yoga are just a small part of its' benefits. The origins of yoga are shrouded in the mists of time. It all started seven thousand years ago; in the Indus Valley. Here, in Himalayan caves, ancient mystics known as rishis renounced worldly desires and left society to dwell in solitude.The Himalayan sages probed the deepest mysteries of life -- and what lays beyond death. ORIGINS OF YOGA features the world's leading authority; Georg Feuerstein; who has written 36 books on the subject. And the Yogis of India themselves are interviewed on location as they describe their quest, lifestyle; and the true meaning of Yoga.
