Hatha Yoga Yatra 3

Hatha Yoga Yatra 3: Understanding Mudra and Bandha is an essential guide compiled from the satsangs and teachings delivered by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati at Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth.
​This book is part of "The 2nd Chapter" series launched by the Bihar School of Yoga, which marks a transition from general yoga propagation toward a deeper, more serious integration and practice of yoga based on its original intentions.

Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati was born in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, in 1960. Guided from an early age by his guru, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, he joined the Bihar School of Yoga at the age of four. In 1971, he was initiated into Dashnami sannyasa and spent the next eleven years traveling extensively across North and South America, Europe, and Australia, spreading the teachings of yoga across diverse cultures.
​In 1983, he returned to India and was appointed Head of the Bihar School of Yoga. Over the next three decades, he guided the development of Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth, Bihar Yoga Bharati, and the Yoga Publications Trust. In 1990, he was initiated as a Paramahamsa sannyasin, and in 1993, he was anointed as the spiritual successor to Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
​A world-renowned yogic authority, author of numerous authoritative books, and founder of Bal Yoga Mitra Mandala, Swami Niranjanananda was honored with the Padma Bhushan (India's third-highest civilian award) in 2017 for his meritorious contribution to yoga. Since 2009, he has embarked on a new phase of sannyasa life, dedicating himself to intense spiritual sadhana and guiding yoga practitioners into "The 2nd Chapter" of yogic lifestyle and wisdom.

Hatha Yoga Yatra 3: Understanding Mudra and Bandha is a spiritual and practical guide based on the discourses delivered by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati during the Hatha Yoga Yatra 3 training program at Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth.
​This work represents "The 2nd Chapter" of yoga propagation introduced by the Bihar School of Yoga. Shifting focus away from basic physical exercise, this book emphasizes a deeper, dedicated, and authentic application of classical yogic principles to experience their original intended purpose.
