Dear Friends,
I would like to turn your attention to a remarkable book on Yoga, recently published by Kvintesszencia Publishing. The volume contains three works: The Seven Initiations, “F” Diary and Yoga Aphorisms from a significant yet virtually unknown Hungarian thinker: József Kaczvinszky (1904-1963).
Yoga literature is broad, with Amazon listing over 50,000 books on this topic, well over 1000 of these on Patanjali, a major influence on Kaczvinszky himself.
Not surprisingly, only a minuscule percentage of these have merit from the point of view of Metaphysical Tradition.

Kaczvinszky’s method is surprisingly simple and original: instead of directly explaining the doctrine from various angles, he leads the reader on a path of reflections, starting with the most mundane experiences, providing cheat sheets for thinking that leads to higher and higher level of insights, until even the rational domain is left behind.
I believe that a broad range of thinkers might find this book enjoyable and insightful:
- those, who are interested in yoga in particular,
- those interested in Metaphysical Tradition and/or follow the path of one of the traditional religions and
- those, who enjoy thinking independently;

this is quite a broad range, but, let’s face it, a rather small number.
If you buy the paperback version you will have the kindle version for free.
