ABOUT THE BOOK : Siva Samhita has come to be known as one of the three source texts for the Hatha Yoga tradition. However, it is largely unknown to the world for its clear exposition of the subject of atmajnana or Self-Knowledge consistent with the tradition of the Upanishad-s and Advaita Vedanta as taught by Sankaracarya. The significant departure from the teachings of the Hatha Yoga tradition will be obvious to anyone who studies its first chapter in its entirety.

Siva Samhita已成為哈達瑜伽傳統的三個源文本之一。 然而，世界上很大程度上不了解其對atmajnana或自我知識主題的明確闡述，這與Sankracarya所教授的Upanishad-and和Advaita Vedanta的傳統相一致。 對於任何研究其第一章的人來說，與哈達瑜伽傳統教義的重大背離將是顯而易見的。
