The Western student is apt to be somewhat confused in his ideas regarding the Yogis and their philosophy and practice. Travelers to India have written great tales about the hordes of fakirs mendicants and mountebanks who infest the great roads of India and the streets of its cities and who impudently claim the title "Yogi." The Western student is scarcely to be blamed for thinking of the typical Yogi as an emaciated fanatical dirty ignorant Hindu who either sits in a fixed posture until his body becomes ossified or else holds his arm up in the air until it becomes stiff and withered and forever after remains in that position or perhaps clenches his fist and holds it tight until his fingernails grow through the palms of his hands. That these people exist is true but their claim to the title "Yogi" seems as absurd to the true Yogi as does the claim to the title "Doctor" on the part of the man who pares one's corns seem to the eminent surgeon or as does the title of "Professor " as assumed by the street corner vendor of worm medicine seem to the President of Harvard or Yale.Wilder Publications is a green publisher.

William Walker Atkinson, born in 1862, was an influential American author and philosopher known for his extensive writings on yoga, mysticism, and Eastern philosophy. He is the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka. A prominent figure in the New Thought movement, Atkinson authored numerous works exploring the principles of spiritual growth and self-realization. His writings often focus on practical applications of Eastern spiritual practices, particularly in the context of Western thought. Atkinson's most notable works include - A Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga: The Yoga of Wisdom, where he delves into the philosophy of Gnani Yoga, emphasizing self-awareness, consciousness, and personal development. His approach combines insights from Indian spirituality with Western understanding, aiming to provide readers with tools for achieving enlightenment and inner peace. In addition to his work on yoga, Atkinson wrote extensively on subjects like mental science, self-help, and occultism. His contributions to spiritual literature have influenced many seeking to integrate Eastern philosophies into their lives. Atkinson's legacy endures through his writings, which continue to inspire those on a journey toward self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment.
