This 1997 comic book, produced by the institute in the style of popular indian comics of the period, captures the essence of 'householder yoga', giving an idea of how powerful spiritual practices can shape the ethos of an 'ideal' Indian family.
In the spirit of the "Action Philosophers" FPP from yesterday, an informative flickr set how-to in convenient look-see picture form. And less o' the talkity talk-talk yappin'.
