Yoga Chakra 4: Cultivating Sadgunas

The text is curated by the Bihar School of Yoga, an internationally acclaimed spiritual institution founded in 1963 by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Based in Munger, India, the school specializes in synthesizing classical Vedic traditions with contemporary logical and psychological frameworks. The teachings are carried forward by his successor, Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, who focuses on integrating head, heart, and hands to foster complete human evolution.

The book details the practical approach to identifying, understanding, and cultivating Sadgunas (exalted or positive virtues) like compassion, tolerance, truthfulness, and humility. The master explains that negative mental patterns cannot be erased by fighting them; instead, they must be naturally crowded out by consciously planting and nurturing divine traits. It provides seekers with specific, reflective guidelines to purify their day-to-day conduct, align with higher cosmic laws, and prepare the inner ecosystem for advanced spiritual absorption.
