Summary

Yoga and the Dark Night of the Soul is about the soul’s journey from fear, lamentation, and confusion to sacred love. Based on the timeless teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, this contemporary guide to yoga’s ancient wisdom shows us how to overcome life’s greatest challenges, how to follow our life purpose, how to engage our heart in our yoga practice, and how to write our life story with love and compassion.

Critic reviews

“Simon Haas has done it again. With the clear perception of a sage, he has retold this ancient classic, the Bhagavad Gita, in a way everyone can understand.” (Dr. Richard A. Masla, founder of YogaVeda School of Yoga & Ayurveda)

“From a little girl at Heathrow airport and a dog on the Yorkshire Moors, to holy men in crematoriums and Indian monkeys, we hear inspiring stories sure to open our hearts and minds in learning to appreciate the potential power in darkness to rewrite our own life stories from ones of fear and confusion into those of love and compassion.” (Catherine L. Schweig, chief editor of Goddess: When She Rules [Golden Dragonfly Press, 2017] and author of over 50 articles on yoga and the Bhagavad Gita)

“This is an authoritative, metaphysical book on yoga that takes one beyond the needs of the body and mind and situates one in spiritual luminescence. What more can a discerning reader ask for?” (Steven J. Rosen (Satyaraja Dasa), author of some 30 books on the Bhakti tradition and related subjects; senior editor of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies; and associate editor of Back to Godhead magazine)

helped me to reflect and relate spirituality

highlights the battle we all go through with ourselves when it comes to making decisions out of love or fear. I felt inspired to go further within and connect with myself whilst reading this. I do believe one of the purposes of life is to stay in touch with our true nature and to avoid losing ourselves to the distractions of life. I feel the reasons the majority of babies/children are happy and joyful most of the time is because their primary perception from a young age is to be themselves and express it in whatever means necessary. it's a shame as most of us grow into society we stop being who we are because of different fears we develop as we grow through life. I've just noticed I'm rambling now! if you are interested in connecting with the deeper part of yourself then this book is for you.

uplifting and deeply inspirational

This book feels like a gift to myself to help me shift perspective from the gray shades of daily life to set on an inner journey of the soul, where I begin to see even life's trials as opportunities for growth. This book is drawing examples from contemporary life and the author's personal experiences woven with the wisdom of the Vedas in an easily relatable way. It is like a guide that helps me to navigate my inner compass and has many practical tools how to live with a deeper purpose and intention in life.
