Kapala Kurantaka Yogaha
In a contemporary times, where the term yoga is branded and marketed as a commercial product by prefixing and suffixing the term with fancy nomenclatures, this book seeks to acquaint practitioners with true yoga taught in India for thousands of years.
This is not a scholastic work.
What you will find in this book is the bare translation of the ancient Kapala Kurantaka Yogaha manuscript containing a collection of 112 Asana, and three further chapters on the Shatkriyas, Ashtakumbhakas and Dasamudras.
This book will introduce you to these ancient teachings, starting with the ideal conditions with respect to places to practice Yoga and Yama and Niyama. The text is designed for practitioners of Yoga, hence the description is very crisp and terse, akin to personal notes of a skilled practitioner, giving us a clue that these practices exist, as well as motivating us to go find where such practices can be learned as Yoga always needs to be learned from accomplished Guru.
This book came into existence after 5 years of intense research, and great effort and perseverance to locate the original manuscript of Kapala Kurantaka Yogaha, to preserve it in its pristine form. This effort was initiated by Dr Vrushakapi, leader of the Traditional Yoga Foundation, who is a fully accomplished Yogi and Scientist, established in both theory and practice of Yoga.
With more than 45 years of learning in addition to the practice of 86 traditions and working with various teachers ranging from Swami Vishnudevananda, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sri B.K.S Iyengar and Sri T Krishnamacharya, Dr. Vrushakapi and the Tradition Yoga Foundation is committed to linking the yoga of ancient and modern times.

Referencing the teachings of great masters like Patanjali, Buddha, Jesus, and Rama, the author presents ancient wisdom as scientific technologies for mastering the mind and living a joyful life. Some ideas may challenge conventional logic, but with open-mindedness and practice, readers can access their truth through personal experience.
