Book Description
What happens as we grow spiritually? Is there a step-by-step process that everyone goes through—all spiritual seekers, including those of any or no religious persuasion—as they gradually work their way upward, until they achieve the highest state of Self-realization? About 2200 years ago, a great spiritual master of India named Patanjali described this process, and presented humanity with a clear-cut, step-by-step outline of how all truth seekers and saints achieve divine union. He called this universal inner experience and process “yoga” or “union.” His collection of profound aphorisms—a true world scripture—has been dubbed Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Unfortunately, since that time many scholarly translators with little or no spiritual realization have written commentaries on Patanjali's writings that have succeeded only in burying his pithy insights in convoluted phrases like “becomes assimilated with transformations” and “the object alone shines without deliberation.” How can any reader understand Patanjali's original meaning when he or she has to wade through such bewildering terminology? Thankfully, a great modern yoga master—Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi—has cut through the scholarly debris and resurrected Patanjali's original teachings and revelations. Now, in Demystifying Patanjali, Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda, shares his guru's crystal clear and easy-to-grasp explanations of Patanjali's aphorisms. As Kriyananda writes in his introduction, “My Guru personally shared with me some of his most important insights into these sutras. During the three and a half years I lived with him, he also went with me at great length into the basic teachings of yoga. “I was able, moreover, to ask my Guru personally about many of the subjects covered by Patanjali. His explanations have lingered with me, and have been a priceless help in the [writing of this book].”

Love Story of a Yogi

Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
It is a true story of a Love yogi named Premyogi vajra, in his own words or in the name of Love yogi. Around 25 years ago, there existed a teen named Premyogi vajra, in the deep Himalaya. His grandfather, the same tantric-spiritual old man was a renowned priest in the nearby localities. Boy with some spiritual capabilities since his childhood was studying science in English medium. That was very tough for him for he had come from a Hindi medium school and so on. He had got glimpse enlightenment in sleep around quarter of a century ago. Further he got his Kundalini awakened at the end of following discussion in original(partially edited; This has been done only to preserve the original essence, thus the subtle power of the real time discussion somewhat preserved)at brilliano kundalini online forum, which ran throughout the years 2016-18(26-10-2016 to 08-05-2018)for roughly one and half year. Therefore, this discussion may have subtle power hidden inside it. Paragraphs have been written downward in order of subsequent dates or times. Each paragraph denotes writing on a single sitting. Discussion from other participants have been omitted out to avoid confusion. This book is not less than a boon for kundalini-seekers and Yoga-enthusiasts. It demystifies and clarifies the Patanjali-yogsutras in one of the best ways. This book is full of real-time practical points, which were experienced by Premyogi vajra during his meditation. There is nothing as mere theoretical in this book. The description of Tantra and Kundalini is clear, simple, true, natural, practical and scientific as described by Premayogi Vajra. Such description is not visible anywhere else. We hope that readers will highly enjoy this book.Premayogi Vajra was born in the year 1975 in a small village in the beautiful basket valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. He is naturally fond of writing, philosophy, spirituality, yoga, public service, applied science and tourism. He has also done commendable work in the field of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. He is also fond of polyhouse farming, organic farming, scientific and water conserving irrigation, rainwater harvesting, kitchen gardening, cow farming, vermicomposting, website development, self-publishing, music (especially flute playing) and singing. He has also written close to ten books on almost all these subjects, whose descriptions are available on Amazone Author Central, Author Page, Premyogi vajra. The description of these books is also available on his personal website "demystifyingkundalini.com". He had also been a Vedic priest for a short period of time, when he performed religious rituals in people's homes with the help of his Vedic priestly grandfather. He has gained some advanced spiritual experiences (enlightenment and Kundalini awakening). His autobiography, along with his unique experiences, is particularly shared in the book "Physiology Philosophy - A Modern Kundalini Tantra (A Yogi's Love Story)" written in Hindi. The matching equivalent of this book in English is "Love story of a Yogi- what Patanjali says". This book is the most prominent and ambitious book of his life. This book contains the most important 25 years of his life's philosophy. He has worked very hard for this book. In a quality and unbiased review on Amazon.com, this book has been reviewed as a five-star, best, must-read and excellent book. Google Play Book Review also found five stars for this book, and this book was rated as good (cool). Premyogi vajra is a mysterious person. He is like a polymorphic man, who has no fixed form of his own. His actual form depends on the size and type of the trance/Samadhi that he is continuously experiencing in his mind, no matter what he looks like from outside. He is enlightened (self realized), and his Kundalini has also awakened. He had self realization or enlightenment naturally / through love yoga, and Kundalini awakening through artificial means / Kundalini yoga.

The Yogasūtras of Patañjali on Concentration of Mind
Author: Fernando Tola
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publ.
ISBN: 9788120802599
Category : Patañjali
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The Yogasutra is one of the most important works of Indian culture. The present book is an attempt of interpretation of the Yogasutras based on some special criteria adopted by the authros: (1) To use the traditional commentaries as auxiliaries, not as guides, with prudence and freedom, (2) To interpret those Sutras, in which Patanjali analyzes real phenomena, as what they actually are: descriptions of facts of experience. To such an end the authors have tried to have a clear idea of the phenomena to which Patanjali refers, and in this task they have found extremely useful the descriptions of their mystical experiences by Yogis of India and Christian mystics. The book includes the Sanskrit text of the Sutras and an English translation by the authors.

Anu Gita Explained
Author: Michael Beloved
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780983381792
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This is the translation with word-for-word meanings to the original Sanskrit. It has an analysis and application to all except the last three verses. No details are spared in the discussion about the transmigration journeys taken by a soul. The journey through physical existence and hereafter and then back into this world, repeatedly, is neatly and precisely described by a siddha from a higher dimension. The soul with the effect-energies from its socially-acceptable and criminal acts, travels to the hereafter where it is fittingly rewarded either in a heavenly world or a hellish place. Then it returns to this earthly planet and becomes adapted as an infant of parents. Anu Gita is intense. It is Krishna's action thriller. Unlike the Bhagavad Gita where He explained many topics about the application of yoga proficiency to social involvement, the Anu Gita begins with an inquiry into the nature of the individual being and its transmigration between the physical world and the astral existence. There is no drifting away from the topic. Krishna did not stress his divinity and supremacy as in the Bhagavad Gita. He simply quoted a discourse which occurred between a perfected siddha and Kashyapa.
