This book is a complete study of practical hypnotism. It seeks to explain the science of hypnotism in a simple, straightforward and unambiguous language. The book makes an integral study of the acclaimed ideas and theories of the East. The western thinkers have heavily drawn upon the valuable contemplations of the Indian seers of yore. Having achieved a fine blending of the two strains of scholarship, the book has become a very reliable guide for all types of readership.Dr Shrimali is a widely acknowledged author and his expertise in these fields is beyond any doubt. The readers can immensely benefit from his wide experiences and deep insights. This study is not just academic, but it is equally relevant to all interested sections. The book is enriched with rare discussion of the Indian sadhans and siddhis. In many ways, it brings out the metaphysical findings of ancient Indian seers, and mendicants with firm authority. The study motivates scholars, young and old, to delve deeper into this science for greater accomplishments in life. #v&spublishers

Originally published in 1928, the main object of this book was to draw attention to the importance of hypnotism and its phenomena, in order to stimulate inquiry into what was at the time a ‘mysterious and unexplored subject’. The author had studied hypnotism nearly all his life and practised it for thirty years, he therefore felt the investigations, experiences, and views presented in this title would prove of interest and value both to the medical and psychological expert and the general reader of the time. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
