English Version

The English translation of the Teaching is published by the Agni Yoga Society, New York, and is available on its website agniyoga.org. It is not included on Agni Yoga Online – here the books can be read in German and Russian.

German Version

The German translation appeared from 1950 onwards as a manuscript in limited editions, with ongoing revisions for the students of the "School of Living Ethics" (later "World Spiral") at the "Publishing House for Living Ethics", Linz, Austria (later "Spirale-Verlag"). As an attempt at a poetically rhythmic prose rendition, it is not a literal translation, but a faithful rendering of the meaning.

Variations from the printed versions of the Spirale-Verlag are possible, as the latest revision of the translations published on Agni Yoga Online is only available in digital form.
