Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale

Author or
copyright owner
Vishnudevananda Saraswati
Source (WP:NFCC#4) own scan from book
Date of publication 1960
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Vishnudevananda Saraswati
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) Show the visual approach taken in the book, making a powerful impact with its pioneering use of large monochrome photographs and the presentation of the Surya Namaskar sequence simply as fitness exercise, demonstrated by Vishnudevananda in swimming shorts
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
This is how Vishnudevananda described this posture, as discussed in the text, so no free image would do.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The visual style and impact of an illustrated book cannot be appreciated through a textual description.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This is the only image of the contents of the book anywhere on Wikipedia, and the only non-free image in the article. It is very greatly reduced from the original.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The book has been in print for over 60 years now, and the cover image is readily available on the Web, so this low-resolution version will make no appreciable difference.
