The Hidden Secret of Ayurveda

by Robert E. Svoboda

THE HIDDEN SECRET OF AYURVEDA is an excellent introduction and overview of the profound, ancient Indian healing system known as Ayurveda. This book gives the reader a chance to sense the working principles of Ayurveda, and see how Ayurveda can be adapted and integrated into life in a practical way, for today's health needs. The word Ayurveda can be translated as the knowledge of life or more correctly as the knowledge of longevity. Ayurvedic healing looks at the whole person the body, the mind, and the spirit and helps to develop an individual program to bring balance, good health and at least a taste of immortality.

About the author

During and after my formal Ayurvedic training I was tutored in Ayurveda, Yoga, Jyotisha, Tantra and allied subjects by my mentor, the Aghori Vimalananda. He also owned thoroughbred race horses, and I served as his Authorized Racing Agent at the Royal Western India Turf Club in Bombay and Poona between 1975 and 1985.

If Weiser Books had a concise guide to Ayurveda it would be something like this. Wish I would have read this one years ago.

[Joanne Nock · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some very useful tips, but I had to check the year it was written as at times I thought I was reading a much older text.

Summary of material contained in Prakriti: your ayurvedic constitution.

[Samuel Stratman-Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's been a while since I read this book, but it gives a tantalizing overview of esoteric Ayurveda, including the alchemical science of Rahasayana. Must read for any esotericist, alchemist or ayurved practitioner.
