Yoga Enlightenment

Raja Yoga contains transcripts of lectures by Vivekananda on "Raja Yoga", his interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and a "rather free translation" of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras plus Vivekananda's commentaries, which also was a series of talks. It presents Vivekananda's understanding and interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, "and a selection of hathayoga teachings on the basis of the beliefs that he shared with his students." These included elements from traditional Hinduism, but also ideas from Western science.

Never before has this elusive topic been treated in so engaging and ...

Mike Kewley shares his experience of looking for ‘awakening’ and how he found that awakening or enlightenment is here, in the everyday things of life. Mike fell in love with the ordinary. Ordinary life, he reveals, is the real miracle, not fireworks and crazy ecstasies, nor the oceans of calm (but lifeless) detachment… In The Treasure House, contemporary spiritual dilemmas are also addressed.

The Enlightenment: An Idea and Its History provides a critical historical analysis of the Enlightenment in England, Scotland, France, Germany, and the United States from c. 1650 to the present. It argues that the degree of commonality between social and intellectual movements in each—and, more broadly, between the five societies—has been overstated for polemical purposes. Clark shows that the concept of 'the Enlightenment' was not widely adopted in those societies until the mid-twentieth century; indeed, that it was unknown in the eighteenth.

Advaita Vedanta is Hinduism’s most pristine philosophical pearl. It is reserved for seekers of Truth who want to know their own essence and aspire to liberation, or mokṣa. It suggests following the path of knowledge, called jñāna-yoga, which leads us to knowing ourselves as Brahman and realizing our reality as the transcendental Self, beyond time and space. It teaches self-inquiry: “Who am I?” This question is an expression of the noblest rebellion. It restores our dignity and accepts us as the only authority on who we are. In this book, Prabhuji presents the principles of Vedanta...

Nonduality and Quantum Physics What are the metaphysical truths hidden in quantum physics ? Why are there astonishing similarities between the world of mystics and the world of modern physics ?
