The charismatic yoga teacher Sukumar condenses the spiritual wisdom of India into a unique instruction in Upasana. This beautifully calligraphed volume offers the essence of yoga philosophy. At the core, all people seek something that could be called "the good feeling": a lasting satisfaction, a deep sense of well-being within ourselves and with ourselves. Sukumar clearly and practically shows the path that leads from inner turmoil to true oneness and a peaceful foundational feeling in life.

Each of us remembers our first great love and the feelings associated with it. The world was beautiful to us, and everything that otherwise caused us worry or seemed like a dull routine transformed into a light, joyful, and buoyant existence. Our inner feeling changed, and as a result, the entire world changed. This positive, content, and joyful inner feeling transferred to everything else, giving our entire life a completely different meaning. This one good feeling goes by various names. We call it freedom, peace, joy, love, and contentment. Each of us knows this feeling, and we strive to rediscover it in everything in life. When we carry the feeling of discomfort and imperfection within us, we see problems everywhere. When we feel good, we see no problems. The essence of Sukumar's lectures provides a unique orientation for one's own spiritual life and the path of yoga.
