The Yoga of Snakes and Arrows: The Leela of Self-Knowledge [With Fold Out Gameboard] (Edition, New of Leela: The Game of Self-Knowledge)

As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Recommended with reservations.

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Solid, if not essential.

Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Five stars from me.

A friend in my study group recommended this one. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. A text you study rather than simply read. A keeper.

Harish Johari presents Leela not merely as entertainment but as a sophisticated instrument for spiritual mapping. The inclusion of extensive commentary alongside the fold-out board provides necessary depth, guiding players through seventy-two spaces representing specific virtues and planes of consciousness. However, this is not a casual pastime; it demands serious engagement with one’s habitual patterns and karmic fluctuations. Readers seeking simple diversion or those uninterested in Hindu philosophy may find the repetitive nature of confronting vices tedious. It suits those willing to view dice rolls as spiritual metaphors rather than random chance. The tactile meditation aspect is its greatest strength, turning abstract concepts into lived reality for the dedicated practitioner.
