YOGA & AYURVEDA self healing and self- Realization

I HAVE COME TO THINK OF MY FRIEND DAVID FRAWLEY AS A HINDU PUNDIT IN A WESTERN BODY. THIS IS WELL CAPTURED BY HIS SPIRITUAL NAME VAMADEVA SHASTRI. IN SANSKRIT , A SHASTRIN NOMINATIVE SHASTRI IS A PERSON LEARNED IN THE SHASTRAS, THE SCHOLASTIC TEXTBOOKS. DAVID FRAWLEY'S ENTIRE THINKING AND LIFE REVOLVE AROUND INDIC CULTURE AND SPIRITUALITY AND WHENEVER I ASK HIM ANY QUESTION ABOUT YOGA, AYURVEDA OR THE VEDAS HIS KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM INVARIABLY BUBBLE FORTH LIKE A REFRESHING SPRING. SINCE THE EARLY 1980. HE HAS MADE HIS INSIGHTS INTO INDIA'S MAGNIFICENT SPIRITUAL AND MEDICAL TRADITIONS AVAILABLE TO WEST ERN STUDENTS THROUGH A SERIES OF PUBLICATIONS. THIS NEW BOOK HIGHLIGHTS THE CLOSE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN YOGA AND AYURVEDA, BOTH OF WHICH ARE FUNDAMENTAL HOLISTIC DISCIPLINES. THEY INTERSECT IN THE CONCEPT OF SOMATIC AND PSYCHOISPIRITUAL WHOLENESS.YOGA FOCUSES ON SPIRITUAL INTEGRATION THROUGH SELF-TRANSCENDENCE CULMINATING IN OPENNESS TO SELF TRANSCENDENCE AND SELF REALIZATION
