The Mantram Handbook
Author: Eknath EaswaranPublisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 1458778355
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
A new edition of Easwaran's classic handbook on the mantram. A mantram (or mantra) is a short, powerful spiritual formula or prayer word from the world's great traditions, repeated silently in the mind, anytime, anywhere, to help us access our deeper resources in the midst of the challenges of daily life. Examples of mantrams are: Rama, Rama, used by Gandhi; My God and My All, used by St. Francis of Assisi; and the Buddhist Om mani padme hum. Easwaran taught the use of the mantram for over forty years as part of his passage meditation program. He explains how to choose and use a mantram to focus our thoughts, replenish our energy, release creativity, and strengthen our relationships. He shows through stories and examples how the mantram can be a great support to parents and children, to colleagues at work, to couples in a relationship - even in illness or depression, and at the time of death. And Easwaran describes how this simple spiritual practice can open the door to a life that is increasingly full and meaningful.
Passage Meditation
Author: Eknath EaswaranPublisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 1458778606
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Pioneered by spiritual master Eknath Easwaran, passage meditation consists of memorizing an inspirational spiritual passage and then sending it deep into consciousness through slow, sustained attention. It keeps meditation fresh and varied because readers can select the passages - from one tradition or many - that embody their chosen ideals. Many readers also enjoy the passages for their poetic and intellectual appeal. This form of meditation offers all the richness and depth of traditional wisdom, together with a practical method for bringing that wisdom into daily life. The book situates passage meditation as part of Easwaran's eight-point program that, based on traditional spiritual practices but adjusted for modern lifestyles, shows readers how to stay calm and focused at work and home. This edition includes a new preface of previously unpublished material by Easwaran and an epilogue that explains the story behind the book and invites new readers to join the author on this adventure in the ''world within.''
