The Yogi Philosophy of Physical Well-Being

Beschreibung

Followers of the early-20th-century "New Age" philosophy of New Thought believed they could learn the secrets of mind over matter. In "Hatha Yoga" (AKA "The Yogi Philosophy of Physical Well-Being") written in 1904 using the pseudonym Yogi Ramacharaka, one of their most influential teachers and enormously popular writer and editor William Walker Atkinson revealed to them the teachings of Hatha Yoga, a complete manual of the Great Oriental Yogi System of physical well-being, health, strength and vigour. This work preaches a sane, normal, simple theory of physical health, and tells how to put the theory into practice. It teaches that the Body is the Temple of the Soul, and should be kept clean and in good order. Its purpose, the instruction and mankind to conform to the standard of that healthy man or woman.

Autor

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 - November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.[1] He wrote an estimated 100 books, all in the last 30 years of his life. He was mentioned in past editions of Who's Who in America, in Religious Leaders of America, and in several[ similar publications. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900. William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1862,[4] to Emma and William Atkinson. He began his working life as a grocer at 15 years old, probably helping his father. He married Margret Foster Black of Beverly, New Jersey, in October 1889, and they had two children. Their first child probably died young. The second later married and had two daughters. Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882 onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of Pennsylvania. While he gained much material success in his profession as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain eventually took its toll, and during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and financial disaster. He looked for healing and in the late 1880s he found it with New Thought, later attributing the restoration of his health, mental vigor and material prosperity to the application of the principles of New Thought.
