Publisher's Synopsis
This book is one of three titles on Yoga created by Yogi Ramacharaka (thought to actually be a pseudonym for William Atkinson, a new thought pioneer in his era and prolific author and editor.) It predominantly focuses on ascent and spiritual evolution, commenting upon Lamarck and Darwin, and comparing them to certain Hindu concepts. Two entire sections are dedicated as well to different life forms and their physical composition.Although the work is perhaps humorous at times for its now-outdated evolutionary conceptualization, it is nonetheless a good read and fairly enlightening, although it should be noted that it is a decidedly Westernized view of an Eastern subject.
