{"product_id":"mantra-yoga-pb-paperback","title":"Mantra Yoga — Sound, Chanting \u0026 Vedantic Practice (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the years the word 'yoga' has become almost synonymous with Hatha Yoga and its physical postures. This book is a corrective. Mantra Yoga pursues the same union of mind, body and spirit by an entirely different route — the sound vibrations of mantras and japas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJairam Sheshadri's argument is that despite the growing popularity of chanting, the discipline underneath it and the reasoning behind it have rarely been laid out clearly. He sets out to do that, drawing on both the Vedantic tradition and the modern experimental literature the Western world has produced in response to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn Mantra Yoga: chanting, japas and sound vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e165-page paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Jairam Sheshadri, a practitioner of over 30 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFounder of the School of Wisdom in Toronto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished July 5, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead it slowly, and out loud where the text invites it — a book about sound resists silent reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explains the discipline and the rationale underlying Mantra Yoga as a distinct form, and discusses the modern experiments that its author cites in support of the tradition of chanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003eJairam Sheshadri\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003e165\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003e0.38 x 7.81 x 5.06 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e0d8\"\u003eJuly 5, 2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#000D0B,#40514E);color:#f4f1ea;padding:24px;border-radius:12px;margin:28px 0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#c9a96e;margin-top:0\"\u003e✨ Temple Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color:#f4f1ea;margin-bottom:0\"\u003ePair it with a fixed time rather than a fixed length.
