The Supreme Yoga

Author: Swami Venkatesananda
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass
ISBN: 8120819640
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 400

Book Description
The Yoga Vasistha has been a favourite book of spiritual seekers in India these several centuries. Its special appeal lies in its thoroughly rational approach, and in its presentation of Vedanta as a philosophy to bridge the gulf between the secular and the sacred, action and contemplation, in human life, through a comprehensive and lofty spirituality. This monumental scripture is the greatest help to the spiritual awakening and the direct experience of the Truth. This is certain. If this is what you want, you are welcome to the Yoga Vasistha. An oft-recurring expression in this scripture is kakataliya'-a crow alights on the coconut palm tree and at that very moment, a ripe coconut falls. The two unrelated events thus seem to be related in time and space, though there is no causal relationship. Such is life. Such is 'creation'. But the mind caught up in its own trap of logic questions why, invents a 'why' and a 'wherefore' to satisfy itself, conveniently ignoring the inconvenient questions that still haunt an intelligent mind. Vasistha demands direct observation of the mind, its motion, its notions, its reasoning, the assumed cause and the projected result, and even the observer, the observed and the observation-and the realization of their indivisible unity as the infinite consciousness.

Amritanubhava

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 126

Book Description
Written seven hundred years ago, Jnaneshwara’s Amritanubhava is one of India’s greatest philosophical and spiritual writings, alongside the Bhagavad-Gita, the Upanishads and the great texts of Shankaracharya and Kabir. Jnaneshwara opens the spiritual perspective of Absolute Reality by dispelling any duality between our inner divinity and the individuality of our human soul. His astonishingly original discourse alternates the deepest philosophical insights with often amusing analogies to help the understanding without falling into the serious and abstruse trap of didactic treatises. Reading the Amritanubhava is, also and above all, a spiritual experience that Jnaneshawara wished for all humanity. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi praised this masterpiece, stating that Jnaneshwara had described what happens after Self-realization.
