Boris Sakharov (Arov) is a bright representative of the stratum of the Russian intelligentsia that has devoted its life to the active development, development and popularization of the heritage of the East, the author of many books on yoga aimed at conveying to the reader the "golden reserve" of Indian philosophy and culture. Such books, the value of which is confirmed by the conscientiousness of the author as a guarantee against any speculation, his incorruptibility of a born scientist and the scrupulousness of a pragmatic researcher, rightfully include the reader's attention - an example of an optimal synthesis of "theory" and "practice" tested by personal experience.
