Science of Yoga Complete Set Volumes 1–17 by Swami Sivananda (1971 First Edition)

This scarce collection of Science of Yoga by Swami Sivananda comprises Volumes 1–17 of the celebrated eighteen-volume series published by the Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy, Rishikesh, and printed by Sivananda Press in Durban, South Africa. Covering a remarkable breadth of yogic philosophy and practice, the series offers an accessible yet profound introduction to the teachings of one of the twentieth century’s most influential spiritual teachers.

Science of Yoga includes works on Karma Yoga, Ethical Teachings, Memory and Will Culture, Hatha Yoga, Health and Diet, Mind and Its Mysteries, Japa Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Science of Pranayama, Concentration and Meditation, The Superconscious State, Guru and Disciple, Brahmacharya, and Thought Power. Together, these volumes provide a comprehensive exploration of physical discipline, mental development, meditation, spirituality, and practical methods for self-transformation.

Science of Yoga Vols 1-17 are presented in their original uniform brown plastic-covered bindings with white lettering to the covers and spines, creating an attractive and consistent appearance on the shelf. First published in 1971, these editions represent an important South African printing of Sivananda’s teachings and are increasingly difficult to locate as a near-complete matching set.

Highly desirable for collectors of yoga literature, students of Hindu philosophy, meditation practitioners, spiritual seekers, and those interested in the global influence of the Divine Life Society, this collection offers both practical guidance and timeless wisdom. Whether acquired for study, reference, or collecting purposes, it remains one of the most comprehensive introductions to the teachings of Swami Sivananda available in book form.
