Jnâna Yoga, Part II: Seven Lectures
Vivekananda, Swami
Vedanta; Yoga, Jñana
“‘How to be a Yogi’ practically sums up the whole science of Vedânta
Philosophy. The term Yogi is lucidly defined and a full analysis is
given of the science of breathing and its bearing on the highest
spiritual development. The methods and practices of Yoga are
interestingly set forth, and not the least important teaching of the
book is the assertion of how great a Yogi was Jesus of Nazareth.”--_The
Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer_, Jan. 15, 1903.
“This book is well worth a careful reading. Condensed, yet clear
and concise, it fills one with the desire to emulate these Yogis in
attaining spiritual perfection.”--_Unity_, Kansas City, Dec., 1902.

“So practically and exhaustively is each phase of the subject treated
that it may well serve as a text-book for any one striving for
self-development and a deeper understanding of human nature.”--_Toronto
Saturday Night_, Dec., 1905.
“It will also be welcomed by students of the Vedic Scriptures, since
each chapter is based upon some one of the ancient Vedas known as the
Upanishads, and many passages are quoted.”--_Chicago Inter-Ocean_,
Jan., 1906.
“The book, from the gifted pen of the head of the Vedânta Society
of New York, presents in a clear manner, calculated to arrest
the attention of those not yet familiar with Vedic literature,
the principles of self-knowledge as taught by the leaders of
that philosophy.... The many passages quoted prove the profound
wisdom and practical teaching contained in the early Hindu
Scriptures.”--_Washington Evening Star_, Dec., 1905.
“A new book which will be welcome to students of Truth, whether
it be found in the Eastern religions, in modern thought or
elsewhere.”--_Unity_, Nov., 1905.
“The book is very well written.”--_San Francisco Chronicle_, Dec., 1905.
“In forcefulness and clearness of style it is in every way equal to the
other works by the Swâmi Abhedânanda, who has always shown himself in
his writings a remarkable master of the English language.”--_Mexican
Herald_, Dec., 1905.
“The volume is forcefully written, as are all of this author’s
works, and cannot fail to be of great interest to all who have
entered this field of thought. A fine portrait of the Swâmi forms the
frontispiece.”--_Toledo Blade_, Nov., 1905.
