Publisher's Note
Svara Yoga is an ancient Hindu science and Art that has fully analysed the working of the Life-Principle, Prana, and the functioning of Life within this body. It deals with the various channels along which the Prana vibrates within this body animating it and also prescribes means to regulate the flow of Prana to ensure good health and longevity. This Science or Yoga of Svara is more subtler and all-comprehensive than the Science of Pranayama, which when compared to the former, is but a bare outline of Svara Yoga. In Svara Yoga we find various effective means to check disease and death. This Yoga of breath should be practised under the direct guidance of a fully qualified Yogi.
The modern Rishi and Yogi of the twentieth century, Swami Sivananda, has within the pages of this publication, dealt with the little known, though important, branch of traditional scientific Yogic knowledge, that has not found in its general treatment in such publications of his as The Science of Pranayama, Hatha Yoga, Practice of Yoga, Kundalini Yoga. To the spiritual aspirants as well as to lay readers, the contents of this book are full of practical import and the amount of its value, it may be superfluous to say, is relative to the particular requirements of the individual readers.
