The Secret of the Katha Upanishad |

Temporarily Out of Stock |
| The Katha Upanishad may be regarded as a most appropriate introduction to spiritual life in general. The story with which the Upanishad begins provides the proper foundation for commencing a study of the science of the higher life of man. From the exoteric ritual of the performance of sacrifice and charity by Sage Vajasravasa, the Upanishad takes us to the spiritual longing of the seeker, Nachiketas, which moves along a definite pattern of development. The second step is the rise from temporal... |

The Study and Practice of Yoga (Vol 1) |

Temporarily Out of Stock |
| This book is a compilation of the 110 lectures delivered by Sri Swami Krishnananda on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in the year 1976. This first volume focuses on the Samadhi Pada, the first chapter of the Yoga Sutras. It is an incisive and thought-provoking analysis of the subject. The book defines the special meaning of the word 'yoga' as used by Patanjali, discarding the narrow denotation of the word in common parlance. It is worth nothing that the book is not about Hatha Yoga and the asanas... |

The Study and Practice of Yoga (Vol 2) |

| Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are aphoristic prescriptions in the form of pithy one-liners for leading the mind into deeper states of absorption in the state of Samadhi, where the individual merges with the absolute. A tranquil mind is a pre-requisite for attaining the higher states of awareness and the Yoga Sutras are a graduated manual for the achievement of this goal. The aphorisms in their original form can not be understood easily. Swami Krishnananda's commentary is easy to decipher and reader... |

An Introduction to the Philosophy of Yoga |
$4.95 $3.71 |
|
| The outlook of one's life depends upon one's conception of reality. The structure of the universe decides our relationship with things. What is known as a vision of life is just the attitude which the individual is constrained to develop in regard to the atmosphere of the universe. Such an exalted conception of the totality of experience may be designated as the philosophy of life. It is, thus, philosophy which determines human conduct and enterprises of every kind in the social field as well... |

Mundaka Upanishad |
$4.95 $3.71 |
|
| Among the Upanishads, the Mundaka Upanishad is regarded as one the most important. It throws a flood of light on the Jnana Marga (the path of Knowledge) and leads the aspirant to the highest rung in the ladder of Jnana - Brahmavid Brahmaiva Bhavati.
That this Upanishad was meant for the Sannyasin (and hence the significant name Mundaka Upanishad) is itself the highest tribute that can be paid to its sacredness. The truth that this Supreme Knowledge which the Upanishad imparts is to be had... |

The Realisation of the Absolute |

| The Upanishads have always been acknowledged as veritable mines of Transcendental Wisdom. They are fountain-sources and treasure houses of Divine knowledge. But they are something more, too. In them we have not only the revelation of the radiant realms of the Supreme Brahman-Consciousness, but also the shining pathway that leads one to it - the secrets of Vedanta-Sadhana or Jnana-Yoga.
This book is a forceful and brilliant monograph on this theme which forms the central core of the Upanishadic... |

Generally, religion goes by rituals and performances of general routines come by way of tradition, but the mind of man, being what it is, also moves with the routine and does not always feel competent to visualize the vital role that religious observances play as vehicles which embody a deeper significance that may best be described as spiritual.

| The Upanishads are regarded as the highest reaches ever achieved in the history of mankind. The greatness of these discoveries is in the unique approach of the Masters, adopted in plumbing the depths of Reality. Man usually looks outward, looks inward, or looks upward in search of the knowledge of the world, of him and of the mystery of creation. This has been the realistic, idealistic and theistic ways not having taken man to his intended destination.
