Raga and Yoga

“Raga and Yoga” is a concept researched to explore the confluence of “the melody of the Raga with the Poise of the Yoga”. The concept of Raga & Yoga germinated in the mind of the Author, Bhavana Pradyumna, through her own life experience. She further researched the concept, and has now developed it to a level where she is demonstrating the new possibilities to understand the age old traditions of India and its holistic approach to living. The book is filled with beautiful illustrations, where the relation between Yoga chakras (Main chakras as defined in Yoga) and Sri Chakra, with musical references are explained.
