‘BRAHMAVIDYA - the ultimate spirituality’ ….. A new book is born …to clear many of the confusions in the field of spirituality. It introduces you to your Reality as the single eternal entity, birthless and deathless, unchallenged by anything, facing no threat from anywhere, not under the watchful eye of any super-being, not governed by anyone ….standing on your own foundation …as Awareness, Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness (Brahmam). You are the seer of the world – the eye of the world; you lend reality to the world by cognizing the existence of the world. You are AWARENESS eternal…. a far greater reality than the universe. If one has the intention of reading only one book in life, it should be this , because it opens up in front of you a highway to self-realisation – an escape route from further births and deaths. The choice is very serious – involving your eternal existence; one as a single entity – peaceful and unchallenged, and the other as a limited entity (in jeeva bhaavam) in suffering life after life eternally. All other books tell you stories about this world and the present body; and keep you blinded about your eternity. And this book also holds a great contribution towards lasting world peace – by showing what religion is, intelligently. Your own awareness is Brahmam – nothing different, nothing separate, nothing bigger or smaller – just the same. This book makes this clear with the help of Upanishads and with the words used in the Brahmavidya meditation. The whole world is flooded with spiritual pauperity. Nothing worthwhile is seen anywhere, with the exception of some Upanishads. And whatever brilliant guidance offered by these Upanishads are also misinterpreted by teachers steeped in misconceptions …with hopeless incapacity to see the reality. ‘BRAHMAVIDYA - the ultimate spirituality’ holds out a hope to humanity in this situation. Its vision is clear. It sees the Upanishads in their correct sense. Have a look …and see how the Four Great Sayings (mahavakya-s) become easily acceptable even to the sharpest of intellects. It does not call for any blind belief. It perfectly appeals to the intellect, looked from the stand-point of this book. Place YOUR OWN AWARENESS in the place of THE SUPER POWER presented to you so far …and see how well it fits! This book establishes some acceptable theories; while shaking up some questionable beliefs. When you try to understand the Great Saying ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ (I am Brahmam), you stumble on a mis-match. The age-old belief that Brahmam is omnicient and omnipotent comes in the way. BRAHMAVIDYA - the ultimate spirituality clears this block, with the help of Upanishads. The mission of this book is very serious – to save you from the eternal cycle of births and deaths, suffering in 8.4 million casts (moulds/types) of bodies. Failure to utilise the present human body to slip out of this cycle amounts to spiritual suicide.
This is the fifth of a series of small books under the head "Satchidaananda Vaak-Jyoti' or "The Enlightening Words of Satchidaananda". All these booklets contain a free transliteration of the enlightening and immortal words and teachings of Shri Satchidaanandendra Saraswati Swamiji, of revered memory, found in his numerous Kannada books. Those readers who do not have the facility and advantage of reading and understanding books in the Kannada language will be immensely benefited by these English publications written in simple language and style. This small plan of publishing these 'gems of spiritual literature', unrivalled in their esoteric import and teachings of the highest order and based on the pristine pure original Bhashyas of Adi Shankara, was first mooted by Shri D. B. Gangolli, a devotee and admirer of Swamiji. It is an irony of our times that even that great Acharya's immaculate teachings of Atma Vidya or Self-Knowledge, purely based on the strength of the Upanishadic statements, their veracity based on Intuitive dialectics or ratiocination (called Anubhavaanga Tarka) and finally on the strength of the culmination or consummation of all those teachings in one's own Intuitive. experience here and now, have been distorted beyond recognition and redemption.
Through shrewd marketing and publicity, Hindu spiritual leaders can play powerful roles in contemporary India as businessmen and government officials. Focusing on the organizations and activities of Hindu ascetics and gurus, Lise McKean explores the complex interrelations among religion, the political economy of India, and global capitalism. In this close look at the business of religion, McKean traces the ideological and organizational antecedents to the Hindu nationalist movement. The Indian state's increasing patronage of Hindu institutions makes competition for its support greater than ever. Using materials from guru's publications, the press, and extensive field research, McKean examines how participation by upper-caste ruling class groups in the Divine Life Society and other Hindu organizations further legitimates their own authority. With a remarkable selection of photographs and advertisements showing icons of spirituality used to sell commodities from textiles to cement to comic books, McKean illustrates the pervasive presence of Hindu imagery in India's burgeoning market economy. She shows how gurus popularize Hindu nationalism through imagery such as the goddess, Mother India, and her martyred sons and daughters.
"Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee’s explanation in For Love of the Real of how to turn away from self-centeredness in the face of reality will appeal to readers who seek to lead a meaningful life." —H.H. DALAI LAMA At the root of every mystical calling is the search for what is Real. For Love of the Real follows this call, detailing the inner journey to Absolute Truth. Readers are guided through traditional experiences of the path—emptiness and the void, oneness, and communion with nature, for example. Particular direction is given for how contemporary seekers can—and must—engage with challenges unique to our times, such as extreme materialism and ecological devastation. For Love of the Real responds to the vital need for humanity to remember its own divine nature and restore mystical truth as the foundation of our inner and outer lives. Based upon forty years of following the mystical path, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee grounds this work in his own inner experiences and spiritual scripture. This is an intense evocation of the contribution that spiritual awareness can make, a clear and compelling call for humanity to return to the Real. "A penetrating, heartfelt look into Absolute Reality..." —LAMA PALDEN, Buddhist teacher and founder of Sukhasiddhi Foundation "Just what we need within the context of our ordinary lives in this modern day and age." —ARI GOLDFIELD, Buddhist teacher, author, and psychotherapist "... its message speaks to people from many different traditions and backgrounds who aspire to lead lives of greater meaning, fulfillment, and depth. [The] emphasis on such topics as emptiness and manifestation, the inseparability of relative and ultimate reality, our utter interconnectedness, and the transformative power of love, and his call to service, echo teachings dear to my own tradition of vajrayana Buddhism. Like Llewellyn, I believe that a shift of consciousness is possible, and in fact essential, if we are to regain what we have lost and heal our connection with the sacred, with mother earth, and with our fellow beings." —ACHARYA JUDY LIEF, Naropa University Buddhist teacher and author in the Tibetan Buddhist and Shambhala traditions

"It is good of you to have come to pay homage to your Master and be with him in his final hours. But what would have been even better is that you would have continued with your practice." - The Buddha to his disciples When Padmasambhava, the renowned yogi and teacher at the University of Nalanda migrated to Tibet with a select group of disciples, he continued to share his knowledge with those he considered worthy to receive it. According to legend, among his teachings was a set of powerful Breathing Exercises designed to help human beings realise their highest potential. Centuries later, a spiritual seeker from the West journeyed to Tibet to learn this sacred knowledge. After returning, he formulated a course based on these Breathing Exercises that he taught to his students, and also offered through correspondence to spiritual aspirants everywhere. In 1977, this course of Breathing Exercises was taught by Swami K. S. Ramanathan, founder of the Brahma Vidya Mission in Mumbai. The author herself completed this course under the guidance of her guru, Justice M. L. Dudhat. A sincere and dedicated practise of the Eight Breathing Exercises, along with their respective Affirmations, can result in: enhancement of creative potential increased levels of calmness improved health and higher energy levels achievement of personal goals in an effortless manner. The course provides one with all the necessary steps required to achieve mastery of ones life across all dimensions. The Eight Spiritual Breaths is intended to serve as a guide to aspirants on the spiritual path and enable an increased and better understanding of who we are, and why we are here. This book has come at a time when we are now ready to take the challenge and responsibility of our own personal and spiritual growth.
