Then, twice, I opened this to a random page and a particular passage seemed to be highlighted and again, addressed a current mental/psychological vexation.After this I happened to look at the publication date and was surprised to see "1945"!Now, there are portions and phrases that date it, such as using "he" when referring to an typical practitioner and addressing the reader as if expecting nearly all would be male. I study the works of one of his students who is the late Swami Sivananda Radha, an extraordinary woman who became his student in 1955.Despite this, the section on 'resistance' is of great assistance, he identifies more than I would have considered resistance of the ego to spiritual growth. Also, many chapters, despite having a couple words here and there that date it, could have been written yesterday; this contains what I thought were current 'catch phrases' popular in spirituality and psychology today. Surprise! This is thousands of years old but, translates ancient knowledge from Sanskrit and Hindi to English.Separating concentration from meditation is of great assistance, as it is a process one must experience and practice to grow. This text offers encouragement and assistance to those on the path as well as anyone trying to address and correct their scattered thinking due to the impact to using mobile devices, etc.Finally, he states that to ultimately succeed on the path, one must have devotion and dedication and be prepared to "stare down the barrel of a gun" and remain steadfast in their resolve. He was a Natropathic Physician running a clinic in Malaysia during WWII. This was then part of the United Kingdom and was occupied by Japanese forces. So, he doesn't make these statements lightly, he stared down the barrels of guns in order to protect his patients, staff and self.Also, this demonstrates that he wasn't a monk who spent their life in an Ashram. He was battling disease and protecting civilians during the time of war. His life experiences are beyond what most people encounter and know what it takes to overcome obstacles and succeed in life and on the spiritual path.This will serve all practitioner's in many aspects of life--it's an invaluable resource, just be prepared to forgive minor transgressions of today's ultra-sensitive PC standards!I wish you well on your journey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this guy *by K***I on September 20, 2011* My passion for yoga has developed strongly over the last couple of years. I went through a teacher training and received certification. I hunger for authentic information on yoga. I feel bombarded by feel-good, hippy-dippy, yoga-lite stuff. These older books are the real deal. They are written with quite a few Sanskrit terms which may be off putting to some people (not me) there is a glossary in the back, it doesn't list every word. I say keep reading anyhow - the more you immerse yourself in the culture the more you understand. Namaste! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Straightforward Advice *by V***V on August 27, 2015* My favorite thing about Swami Sivananda is that he gets to the point. He gives clear and helpful advice on anyone looking to better understand the topics of dharana, and higher meditative states. He is authoritative, yet kind, firm in getting you to actually practice, yet lenient on the types and methods of practice and advice he offers. He wants to experience these states and see for yourself. And there is no question of his own mastery or if he has been there himself - that shines through clearly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/19686448-concentration-and-meditation-14th-edition-paperback-august-19-2009](https://www.desertcart.at/products/19686448-concentration-and-meditation-14th-edition-paperback-august-19-2009) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
