Publisher's Summary

Yoga and the Dark Night of the Soul is about the soul’s journey from fear, lamentation, and confusion to sacred love. Based on the timeless teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, this contemporary guide to yoga’s ancient wisdom shows us how to overcome life’s greatest challenges, how to follow our life purpose, how to engage our heart in our yoga practice, and how to write our life story with love and compassion.

What the critics say

“Simon Haas has done it again. With the clear perception of a sage, he has retold this ancient classic, the Bhagavad Gita, in a way everyone can understand.” (Dr. Richard A. Masla, founder of YogaVeda School of Yoga & Ayurveda)

“From a little girl at Heathrow airport and a dog on the Yorkshire Moors, to holy men in crematoriums and Indian monkeys, we hear inspiring stories sure to open our hearts and minds in learning to appreciate the potential power in darkness to rewrite our own life stories from ones of fear and confusion into those of love and compassion.” (Catherine L. Schweig, chief editor of Goddess: When She Rules [Golden Dragonfly Press, 2017] and author of over 50 articles on yoga and the Bhagavad Gita)

“This is an authoritative, metaphysical book on yoga that takes one beyond the needs of the body and mind and situates one in spiritual luminescence. What more can a discerning reader ask for?” (Steven J. Rosen (Satyaraja Dasa), author of some 30 books on the Bhakti tradition and related subjects; senior editor of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies; and associate editor of Back to Godhead magazine)

A beautiful book.

A beautiful book and the voice of the narrator is very pleasant! I will be re-listening to it many times.

An internal struggle explained...

... and an alternatives suggested. Using one of the oldest texts, the Baghdad Gita.
It'll be hard for most of us to immerse ourselves into the spiritual life this book beautifully explains and promotes. It is oh so appealing. Not necessarily (or only) that we are selfish or materialistic. It's that most of us are gone to far on this "western" path and to make a massive turn is almost impossible. Job, kids house, family, friends, they will all get on the way of becoming a true Yoga Warrior.
However, this book does give you an exceptionally clear and detail description of how to handle some of the everyday stresses that should not be stresses at all. "... be like a lake..." and realize that it is not much that can affects us if we don't let it.
A lot of wisdom and insights that we are well aware of, but just willfully ignore them. Got to change.
A great book.
A must read
