Atma Bodha & Tattva Bodha

Esoteric Classics: Eastern Studies

By: Adi Shankara,Charles Johnston

Atma-bodha is a short Sanskrit text attributed to Adi Shankara of Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy. The text describes the path to Self-knowledge or the awareness of Atman. Atmabodha means "Self-knowledge", self-awareness, or one with the "possession of a knowledge of soul or the supreme spirit". Tattva Bodha literally means 'Knowledge of the Truth', and it is a small but all encompassing introductory text of Vedanta.

Reality Is All The God There Is

The Single Transcendental Truth Taught by the Great Sages and the Revelation of Reality Itself

By: Avatar Adi Da Samraj

Contemporary renderings of the dharma of the great sages of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism from the Realized Spiritual Master Avatar Adi Da Samraj • Includes transmissions of wisdom teachings of the great sages Gotama Sakyamuni, Nagarjuna, Shankara, and Ribhu • Presents classic texts of spiritual realization from the perspective of a Realized Teacher • Provides insight into the ultimate realization possible when dualistic consciousness has been transcended In this book Avatar Adi Da Samraj offers his unique renderings of the dharma of the great sages of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, including Gotama Sakyamuni, Nagarjuna, Shankara, and Ribhu. Rather than simply translate their teachings from available source texts, Avatar Adi Da, himself a Realized Master, respeaks them as one who has personally realized their truth, revealing that the Buddhist “Nirvana” and the Advaitic “Brahman” point to the same transcendental condition. Avatar Adi Da’s transmissions restore to these texts the profound communication intended by the spiritual masters who created them. The ego nurtures the illusion of separation, an illusion that cannot be removed by the ego’s own efforts. It is only the spiritual master who makes possible the realization of egoless consciousness. The great sages proclaimed a state of spiritual realization that exceeded both worldly dualism and mystical seeking. They had awakened to a reality that spoke of abiding in a state of consciousness only. Avatar Adi Da brings these remarkable declarations back to life and then concludes with his own unique description of a realization that transcends even these extraordinary utterances--the realization of Reality As It Is, free of all forms of the ego’s search.

Bhaja Govindam

Charpat Panjarika Stotram

By: Adi Shankara

There are numerous books and works by Adi Shankara, the avatara of Parama Siva, to teach mankind devotion and duty. Out of all those works, Bhaja Govindam is world renowned. The slokas given in the book are very useful to understand the divine way by constant remembrance. These slokas can also be sung melodiously. By repeating these slokas, one can ward off momentary sensual desires by instantly concentrating and controlling one's mind, thereby reaching the highest truth. These slokas are also called moha mudgara (destroyers of passion). They are like hammers which destruct the very foundation of passion. Each sloka has its own independent meaning and is written in very soft, simple and easy words.

Nirguna Manasa Puja

Worship of the Attributeless One in the Mind

By: Adi Sankara

Composed by the great sage of Advaita Vedanta, Adi Sankara, this work gives an exposition of the symbols of puja (worship) in light of Nonduality. Written as a dialogue between a disciple and a Guru, the disciple first asks, “What manner of worship is prescribed for the One existing as undivided Being-Consciousness-Bliss with no second, without misconceptions, and of one nature?” He then asks similar questions about the details of such in the context of utmost Nonduality, and, starting with the ninth verse, the Guru replies in the light of the Knowledge of that utmost Nonduality.

Advaita Bodha Deepika

By: Adi Shankara

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Advaita Bodha Deepika

By: Adi Shankara

Características Adi Shankara e outros grandes sábios escreveram várias obras, como o Comentário do Vedanta Sutras. Nelas eles forneceram ensinamentos e métodos preciosos para que pessoas empenhadas na investigação sobre as verdades essenciais da existência se aproximassem de sua meta. Sri Karapatra Swami posteriormente condensou os pontos mais significativos destas obras em alguns versos sânscritos, criando este livro de doze capítulos, o Advaita Bodha Deepika. O autor explica como a ignorância obscurece a verdadeira natureza do Ser, que é não dual, produzindo o falso entendimento da não existência do Ser. Ele explica também como a ignorância faz com que a mente permaneça envolta em um mundo ilusório, considerando reais as projeções de indivíduos, objetos e mesmo de Deus. O livro ensina que alguém devidamente preparado é capaz de obter o Conhecimento por meio da realização direta e desobstruída de Brahman (Deus), libertando-se da escravidão dos três tipos de Karma que são responsáveis pela perpetuação do ciclo de nascimento e morte. O autor ensina ainda que não há escravidão nem libertação para o Ser, e descreve o método para libertar-se da mente.

Da Love-ananda Gita

The Free Avataric Gift of the Divine Love-bliss

By: Adi Da Samraj

The core of the Way of Adidam is the spontaneous heart-Attraction to Avatar Adi Da, as the Living Divine Person. Those who recognize Him are moved to turn to Him, instead of turning back on themself. In the Da Love Ananda Gita, the practice of devotion to the "Bright" Avatar Adi Da Samraj is fully outlined. "I regard Adi Da Samraj as one of the greatest teachers in the Western world today." --Irina Tweedie Sufi teacher; author, Chasm of Fire. "Adi Da Samraj and his unique body of teaching work offer a rare and extraordinary opportunity for those courageous students who are ready to move beyond ego and take the plunge into deepest communion with the Absolute. Importantly, the teaching is grounded in explicit discussion of necessary psychospiritual evolution and guides the student to self-responsibility and self-awareness. -ELISABETH TARG, M.D. University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine; director, Complementary Medicine Research Institute, California

My "Bright" Word

Discourses from the Divine Siddha-Method of the Ruchira Avatar

By: Adi Da Samraj

In "My "Bright" Word, " a new edition of the collection of classic spiritual discourses originally published as "The Method of the Siddhas," Avatar Adi Da elucidates the fundamentals of "radical" self-understanding, or "His Revelation of the Way of Adidam." These include: --The basic principle of egoic existence, the search, which Avatar Adi Da later communicated in its simplest terms: "You want to feel good--because you feel bad. Therefore, you are seeking--in order to feel good." --The essential ego-fault and the means for overcoming it: (1) Truth cannot be realized by seeking for it. The seeking itself is the problem. When there is no seeking, Truth (or Reality) is obvious. (2) Freedom (or Divine Liberation) is not dependent on any objective entity or process. Freedom (or Divine Liberation) is always already the case. --The single logic of egoic life: the logic (or process) of separation itself, of enclosure and immunity, informs every function of the living being, every experience, every act, every event. --The grace-given process of "radical" self-understanding: observe your own self-contracting activity. Understand your own self-contracting activity. Transcend your own self-contracting activity. In modern language, this volume teaches the ancient all-time trans-egoic truth, transforming the student by paradox and by example. Consciousness, understanding, and finally the awakened self are the potential rewards.
