Summary of Yogi Swatmarama's Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The following siddhas (masters) are said to have existed in previous centuries: Sri Siva, Matsyendra, Natha, Sabar, Anand, Bhairava, Chaurangi, Mina Natha, Goraksanatha, Virupaksa, and Bilesaya.

#2 A yogi should keep the knowledge of Hatha Yoga secret. It becomes potent by concealing, and impotent by exposing. The Yogi should practice Hatha Yoga in a small room, situated in a solitary place.

#3 Asana is the first posture of Hatha Yoga. It should be practiced for gaining steady posture, health, and lightness of body. It is also an instrument for destroying the group of the most deadly diseases.

#4 The Siddhasana is the best posture to cleanse the impurities of 72,000 nadis. It is also called the opener of the door of salvation. Other asanas are of no use when success has been achieved in the Siddhasana, and Prana Vayu becomes calm and restrained by Kevala Kumbhaka.
