 Georg Feuerstein 1947-2012
Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D. became interested in Yoga in his early teens and has increasingly studied Yoga philosophy and history since then. He did his postgraduate studies in England and has authored over 50 books—not all on Yoga and including a couple of poetic titles. His major works are The Encyclopedia of Yoga and Tantra (Shambhala 2011), The Yoga Tradition (Hohm Press 2008), Yoga Morality (Hohm Press, 2007), The Deeper Dimension of Yoga (Shambhala) and The Bhagavad-Gītā: A New Translation (Shambhala 2011). |
Georg created several distance learning courses, which are made available through TYS, his wife’s Canadian educational company. He officially went into semiretirement in 2004. But in 2011, he agreed to make himself available in a TYS mentorship program to encourage those who are seriously interested in digging deeper into Yoga philosophy. In 2012, Georg nominated his wife, Brenda, as the tutor for all TYS courses and assistant for the mentorship program. Georg A. Feuerstein lived a profoundly productive life of humble service and made a peaceful, conscious exit from this world on Saturday, August 25, 2012 near his home in Southern Saskatchewan, due to complications from diabetes. His final transition occurred after a 9-day journey of loving resolution in which he was surrounded and supported by his wife Brenda and many spiritual friends. His legacy of scholarly contribution to the global Yoga community is vast and awe inspiring, to which we all owe a huge debt of gratitude. His work will be lovingly continued and directed by his Beloved partner, lover, friend and wife, Brenda Feuerstein. |

| El objetivo de esta perspectiva general de los fundamentos del yoga –entendido no sólo como un sistema de ejercicios, sino como una tradición espiritual madura- es proporcionar a los que quieran iniciarse en su estudio unos conocimientos más amplios y profundos sobre la materia. El libro presenta todos los elementos básicos de esta antigua disciplina y filosofía de la India e incluye traducciones recientes de extractos de las escrituras. En él se ha dedicado especial atención al tantra, una de las ramas del yoga que, aunque ofrece dificultades de interpretación, despierta un gran interés entre los estudiantes occidentales. Entre los temas tratados figuran: - las principales ramas del yoga - los principios morales - la meditación y la concentración - el control de la respiración - los ejercicios físicos del hatha yoga - la dieta - los mantras - la poderosa energía espiritual conocida como kundalini - la transmutación de la energía sexual - la relación maestro-estudiante reflexiones-sobre-yoga-introduccion-a-los-principios-y-la-practica-de-una-antiquisima-tradicion-georg-feuerstein/ |
