Alakshya - (a glimpse of the subtle) - Anupam Dubey - Bog

'Alakshya' is a contemporary commentary on the subtle nature of reality which remains largely out of grasp in the absence of an intensified perception which can be attained through yogic practices. The commentary is presented in the form of short topical essays in English and poetic expressions in Hindi to provide a glimpse of the subtle based on Author's own exploration, perception, understanding and direct experience. The commentary draws on the profound expositions on the true nature of existence, the ultimate reality and human experience presented in ancient Sanskrit texts (such as the Upani¿ads, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Vijnana Bhairava) and philosophical systems (such as Samkhya, Nyaya, Advaita) to highlight their role in unmasking the reality. The Author also aims to lay special emphasis on the depth and sophistication of the science of Yoga through this work which extends far beyond postures and breathing techniques. This book is inspired by an endeavour to supply, those interested in undertaking their own exploration or investigation into the exact nature of reality and human experience, a simpler yet fuller perspective on subjects often considered esoteric and recondite.
