Features: Nowadays, yoga is gaining popularity as a global fitness trend embraced by more and more people. Practicing yoga correctly not only maintains physical health but, more importantly, preserves mental harmony, enabling one to face life's various pressures with a healthy mind and body. In its original sense, "yoga" means "uniting with the universe and the supreme." This highest state of yoga can be considered similar to the highest realm of "unity between heaven and humanity" in traditional Chinese culture. The 100 artworks in this book are devout creations by artists from around the world, drawn from the themes of yoga culture in the classic mythological stories of the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, such as the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, and Gitagovinda, and painted using traditional oil painting techniques. These exquisite artworks, paired with easy-to-understand explanations, can help readers gain a deeper understanding and practice of yoga, this ancient life science.
