Anand is a master and a beautiful human being who has the capacity to explain complex, abstract ideas in simple, elegant words. I LOVED his other book "This Is That - Patanjali's Yoga Sutras Padas 1 and 2", "Liberation" attracted me by its amazing, enchanting, colourful cover. It was different, more complex, but also very enriching. I recommend it to anyone interested in yogic/vedic philosophy - enjoy! :)

Another powerful read for the yogi into yoga philosophy. This is not an easy read; however, Anand takes the reader through the Isha Upanishad step by step. If the reader can perservere it "all" becomes clear. To the author's point "it requires great maturity....available to all but few realize it." "It" being the message of the book as well as the action required on behalf of the reader. Anand reiterates over and over all we have is the here and the now. There is no sense in waiting for later or until we all get to heaven. Life is about here and now. Each day is fresh, clean, unused, we are to use it to its fullest. It is up to the reader to be ready anything that is offered. Focused on the present moment. Letting the past and the future go otherwise Karma (whatever that might be, suffering, ignorance, playing the victim), will bite us. A book to be revisited again and again.

The author draws from a variety of spiritual traditions, including Advaita Vedanta, Tantra, and Buddhism, to provide a holistic and comprehensive approach to the path of liberation. The book is structured around the four paths of yoga: karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jnana yoga, and raja yoga, and offers insights and practices for each.

The book emphasizes the importance of self-inquiry and inner exploration, as well as the role of community and the guru in the spiritual journey. Mehrotra's approach is grounded in his own direct experience and the wisdom of the ancient traditions, making the book a valuable resource for anyone seeking spiritual growth.

[Viralpets · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author's teachings are grounded in the principle of Advaita Vedanta, which holds that there is only one ultimate reality and that the goal of spiritual practice is to realize this truth. He explores the nature of consciousness and the ego, shedding light on the obstacles that can hinder our journey towards liberation.
