The main course of yoga philosophy

"The main course of the philosophy of yogis" is an introduction to a series of books published by Yoga Ramacharaka at the beginning of the last century. This book can be very useful to Russian readers, especially those who are completely unfamiliar or have only a “hat” acquaintance with the ideas of intangible psychology.
