Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Vedic scriptures are a vast treasure-house of the most resplendent divine knowledge, which contains the key for bringing about a divine transformation in our lives. Intuitively, seekers worldwide perceive that the heritage of India, the land of spirituality, holds in its bosom the rarest of rare secrets that they all yearn to know. That is why an inherent curiosity exists for understanding the concepts of Hinduism, reading its scriptures, and visiting the country that is the spiritual leader of the world. However, without proper guidance, such endeavors to fathom the secrets of Hinduism, even with the best of intentions, do not meet with success. People get stumped with how to access the knowledge, comprehend its wide-spectrum of concepts, and utilize them meaningfully in their lives. That is why Hinduism is an enigma for most Westerners.

Mahabharat

The Story of Virtue and Dharma

By: J.A. Joshi,Swami Mukundananda

The Mahabharat is one of the most renowned epic poems of all times. It contains 100,000 couplets, and is nearly eight times as long as Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey put together. This colossal epic was composed by the renowned sage Ved Vyas, and it was none other than Lord Ganesh who assisted him in scripting this enormous text. The Mahabharat is an extremely gripping narrative of internecine warfare in the Kuru family. It tells the story of how the Kauravas resorted to the deceit and treachery to cheat the Pandavas of their kingdom, how the Pandavas fought for their rights, and how in the end good triumphed over evil. This unique and never before written version of The Mahabharat presents the events in a different light and with great depth, revealing the true meaning of various events that dramatically unfold in front of our eyes. A timeless classic and its message is highly relevant even in this day and age. Among other things, the Mahabharat teaches the importance of leading a righteous life, doing one’s duty selflessly without worrying about the outcome.

The Power of Thoughts

By: Swami Mukundananda

Incredibly, the ingredients of a hugely successful life cost nothing at all. In fact, we mass-produce 60,000 of them every day. These are the thoughts that our mind creates. They are responsible for the happiness and distress we experience. They are the precursors of all we do. We grapple with improving our actions, only to find our attempts undone by impure thinking. If we focus on transforming our thoughts instead, incredible results will accrue from a fraction of the efforts. Since all aspects of our life are so strongly linked to our thoughts, we have much to gain by deepening our understanding of them. In this book, Swami Mukundananda, a world-renowned spiritual teacher from India and an internationally acclaimed mind-management authority, will teach you about watching your thoughts, directing them, dismantling harmful thought structures, creative thinking, meditation and much more. When you focus on revolutionizing your thoughts-the most fundamental aspect of inner personality-you will discover yourself evolving to divine heights to fulfil the purpose of your life.

7 Divine Laws to Awaken Your Best Self

By: Swami Mukundananda

Just as heat is inherent in fire, so is our desire to become better.' Why are personal growth and life transformation so difficult? Does Creation wish that we fail? Of course not! The purpose behind the Universe's grand design is to make us succeed. Our own unawareness of the laws of the Universe creates the impediment. Just as physical phenomena are regulated by laws, there are spiritual principles governing the journey of life as well. Knowledge of them helps us understand why success comes so easily to some but remains a struggle for others; why some are still putting on their shoes, while others have finished the race. The beauty is that, like the physical laws of nature, the divine principles governing happiness and fulfilment in life are also eternally valid. In this book, Swami Mukundananda explains the 7 divine laws in an easily graspable manner. With knowledge of the Vedic scriptures and witty anecdotes that everyone can relate to, this book will empower you to become the best version of yourself.

The Science of Mind Management

By: Swami Mukundananda

The quality of our mind determines the quality of the life we lead. It can be our greatest ally or our worst adversary.

Yet, with proper knowledge, training and discipline, it is possible to unleash the mind's infinite potential. In The Science of Mind Management, Swami Mukundananda charts the four different aspects of the human mind and lays down a clear path towards mastering it. Through witty anecdotes, real-life accounts and stories from the Vedic scriptures, he gently guides readers on the road to winning their inner battle." --Amazon.

Bhagavad Gita

The Song of God

By: Swami Mukundananda

The Bhagavad Gita is widely revered as one of the greatest jewels of spiritual wisdom in the history of humankind. It describes the divine dialogue that took place between the Supreme Lord Shree Krishna and his devotee Arjun on the battle ground. Unable to deal with the immediate problem at hand, Arjun approached Shree Krishna for a palliative to overcome the anguish he was experiencing. Shree Krishna did not just advise him on his immediate problem, but digressed to give a profound discourse on the philosophy of life. Hence, the Bhagavad Gita imparts, above everything else, Brahma Vidyā, the science of God-realization. However, it is not content with providing a lofty philosophical understanding; it also describes clear-cut techniques for implementing its spiritual precepts for everyday life. These techniques of applying the science of spirituality in our lives are termed “Yog.” Hence, the Bhagavad Gita is also called “Yog Shastra,” meaning, the scripture that teaches the practice of Yog.

MUKUNDAMALA

By: Swami Ishwarananda

What do you call a devotee who is also a king -- an emperor among saints or a saint among emperors? Kulasekhara Alvar, was a regal devotee who lorded over the Lord of His heart, Mukunda! He would cry, smile, weep, laugh, plead, throw a challenge to the lord and make Krishna give into His sweet adoration. Swami Ishwarananda in his erudite exposition on Mukundamala;, a composition of this saint says that love by itself is healing, but divine love is several notches higher and a Divine Lover is an alchemist who transforms an ordinary life into an inner pilgrimage, leading to an ecstatic union with the Lord. His exhaustive commentary is replete with easy examples and parallels from the Upanisads and the Bhagavad-gita;. This will be an illuminating affirmation for any devotee and an eye-opener to any atheist who is very sure of himself. Through this text you will discover the deeper dimensions of your emotional and spiritual personalities.

Life Management Techniques

Life Management Techniques

By: Swami Swaroopananda

On the surface, an enchanted life would seem the ideal existence - a life free from worries, wants, insecurities, incapacities and so forth. Indeed, that is the sum total of all product advertisements, recreational pursuits, even business goals and social norms, put together. And yet nothing could be more elusive. The fundamental truth of life - and all of us are aware of it, though we conveniently keep forgetting it - is that for as long as we're breathing, there can be no escaping all the negative, nay, challenging situations that owe to our destiny. But how we respond to them is the key that sets apart success from stagnation, joy from dejection, fulfilment from frustration. Artful management of life's vicissitudes is therefore the antidote to wishful thinking, and such treatment requires first and foremost a wilful change of mindset: a shift in focus from results to process, from destination to journey...because, quite simply, the 'stuff' of life is always in the here and now. In this book, Swami Swaroopananda, disciple of Vedanta champion Swami Chinmayananda, shares many insightful tips and techniques to enable exactly such a transition. The reader is assured of being empowered to handle with grace, conviction and a renewed sense of direction, the greatest possible opportunity nature could give us: life itself.

Books of Daily Thoughts and Prayers by Swami Paramanda

Books of Daily Thoughts and Prayers by Swami Paramanda

By: Swami Paramananda

There are moments when the spirit is mute and powerless to give utterance to its interior yearning. It feels the need of a vibrant word to rouse it from its numbness and voice its voiceless aspiration. Hence attempts to provide, in one form or another, daily thoughts for the day's round are coincident with the rising of the religious consciousness. The ancient Forest-Books or Upanishads of the Vedlc period were but the accumulated effort of great sages to help those who surrounded them in their woodland hermitage, to meet the daily problem with triumphant heart. The mediaeval breviaries and manuals of devotion were written or compiled to the same end. The present volume is another contribution to this daily sacrament of prayer and holy thought. The idea of preparing it is not of recent conception. As far back as 1812 Swami Parama-nanda wrote me from Switzerland "Other day I was thinking a little of the next book (from your letters). Can't we call it A Book of Daily Thoughts and Prayers' ? What do you think of it ?" I had written to him that the idea had come to me to gather from his later letters and certain notes of his teaching material for a companion volume to the "Path of Devotion," made up from earlier letters. The prayers were caught with the same stealthy silent pencil at the moment of their utterance. They sound in consequence the more living note of spoken supplication. The quotations from the Scriptures are from the Swami's translations. Coming from such intimate sources, the words which follow possess special helpfulness in the intimate inward strivings of each day. They have been classified and arranged in consecutive and cumulative sequence. The thought is carried forward from day to day, so that at the end of a month a new and defined impression will be made on the character. Each day brings its salient thought to be held through the waking hours in continuous mindfulness a brief lesson amplifies this and imbeds it more deeply in the consciousness a prayer feeds and strengthens the natural upward-reaching devotional aspirations of the heart. A few lines from the Swami's sacred and illumined poems are given as a daily exercise in memorizing. Memorizing is one of the most productive of spiritual practices. It provides a rich inner library to which one can turn in the moment of emptiness or distress. A single line called up in memory will sometimes turn the thought into an entirely fresh and wholesome channel. Thus on each page will be found food for all the faculties of the aspiring spirit. The Swami's words lend themselves with peculiar aptitude to a work of this nature. His sentences have the focused, shining quality of a finely-cut gem which requires no embellishment of ornate setting. They stir the higher, holier impulses of the soul and impel to consecrated living. They carry forward by their inherent vitality and strength. The book calls for no other introduction than itself. With its tender counsel and ringing appeal it will find its way, by the force of its spiritual power, into the heart and sanctuary of every seeker whose hand it reaches. DEVAMATA.

Swami Yogananda's the Science of Religion (1920 Original Edition)

By: Swami Yogananda

Religion mainly means God consciousness or the realization of God, which it really does, then there is one Religion in the world for there is one God. And different customs, conventions, forms of worship, tenets may be held to form the grounds for the origin of different sects included under that one Religion. If Religion is understood in this way then and then only can its universality be maintained. For we cannot possibly universalize particular customs, conventions. But the common element in Religion can be universalized. We can ask everyone to follow it. Then it can be said that Religion is not only necessary, but it is universal too. Everyone must follow the same Religion, for it is one, its universal element is one and the same. Its customs and conventions differ only. I have tried to show in the brochure that as God is One, necessary for all of us, so religion is one, necessary and universal.In order to understand the real necessity of God and Religion we must have a conception quite relevant to our daily aims and actions. Hence Religion necessarily consist in the permanent removal of pain and the realization of Bliss or God. If we understand Religion in this way, then its universality becomes obvious.

The Guru Within

By: Swami Satchidananda

Throughout history there have always been human beings who felt there must be more to life and they sought a higher wisdom or spiritual enlightenment. Many have found themselves in need of someone who has traveled the spiritual path successfully and could guide them toward the understanding they were seeking and to the Guru within. Sri Swami Satchidananda was one of the first Yoga masters to bring the classical Yoga tradition to the West. Invited to America in 1966 by iconic pop artist Peter Max, he taught Yoga postures, meditation, and a compassionate vegetarian lifestyle. In 1969, he opened the Woodstock Festival and became known to an entire generation as "the Woodstock Guru." Swami Satchidananda founded the global Integral Yoga organization, Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville and the Light Of Truth Universal Shrine (Lotus.org). He is the author of Integral Yoga Hatha, To Know Your Self, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Beyond Words, The Living Gita, and The Golden Present. He is also the subject of the documentary, Living Yoga: The Life and Teachings of Swami Satchidananda. (For more information visit: swamisatchidananda.org).
