Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism
by Yogi Ramacharaka
1905

The twelve lessons forming this volume were originally issued in the shape of monthly lessons, known as The Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy andO riental Occultism, during a period of twelve months beginning with October 1904, and endingS eptember 1905. These lessons were intended as a continuation of, or sequel toT he Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy andO riental Occultism issued during the previous year. We have been urged to print these Advanced Course1 lessons in book form, and the present volume in the result. Lessons I to IV, inclusive, consist of an analysis and explanation of the little occult manual known asL ight on the Path, and have been highly praised by lovers of that little book as well as advanced students in occultism. They are said to be superior to anything ever written along these lines. Lessons Vto VII, inclusive, treat of the several branches of theY ogi Philosophy indicated by their titles. They contain very much information in a small space. Lessons VIII and IX, treat of Dharma, theY ogi philosophy of Ethics orR ight A ction. They have been favorably received by students of ethics, and teachers of morality of different schools. They afford a common ground upon which the differing schools may meet. Lessons Xto XII, inclusive, form a wonderful trio of lessons upon the higher Yogi metaphysical and scientific teachings. Their clearness and comprehensiveness is startling, and the most perplexing metaphysical and scientific questions are answered in the simplest manner by the centuries old, Yogi philosophy expressed in modern terms. We trust that the Advanced Course lessons may prove as popular in book form as in their original shape. The author, as usual, declines to write a Preface for the book, saying that tie lessons should speak for themselves. Yogi Publication Society. Masonic Temple, Chicago, 111. September
