Teachings of Thirumandiram


Book Description

Why do we buy and read books? We need some interesting new content that bring us refreshing thoughts! It's our natural instinct to be curious and reflect our beliefs into Author's writings.I always felt that a good book should forget me to keep track of time and force to realign my other schedules to finish reading it. This could be books in self-improvement process, biographies, memoirs, philosophy related subjects. It's better if there is some sort of mystery or mystic added. If it's an ancient wisdom combined with modern scientific analysis, both my mind and heart believe them.This book is about Thirumoolar's thirumandiram. Thirumandiram (holy mantra) is the first religious epic text. Thirumoolar is the author of the text, believed to have lived in 7th century. I have just taken few key texts originally written in Tamil language and translated to current world situations. The original text contains Hindu temples, offering to God/teachers, conducting fire ceremony, etc. The ancient society treated the contents as a working life manual for the human beings. The contents are still popular since they teach the hidden cosmic energies and how to tap them through yoga and meditation.

Babaji's Kriya Yoga


Book Description

Action with awareness is both the vehicle and the destination in all phases of Babaji's Kriya Yoga. Through it we become aware of That which is aware; which is the one constant underlying all of our thoughts and experiences. Babaji's Kriya Yoga is a means of self-knowledge, of knowing our selves and the truth of our being. It brings action with awareness and a devotional spirit into our practice of asanas, pranayama, meditation, mantras and also into all our thoughts, words, dreams and desires and actions. This sadhana has enormous potential to make us more conscious human beings. It requires the willingness of the body, mind, heart and will, to align with the soul in aspiration of purification and perfection. This book provides detailed instructions, diagrams and photographs in the practice of a particular set of 18 Yoga asanas or postures, known as Babaji's Kriya Hatha Yoga. The essays and instructions herein enable the practitioner to go beyond the development and health of the physical body, and to transform the practice of yoga asana into a spiritual practice, inducing a higher state of consciousness. Unlike earlier publications related to Hatha Yoga, this volume will show you how to transform your Hatha Yoga practice into a means for Self-Realization. It introduces students to the Five-fold Path of Babaji's Kriya Yoga. This book is dedicated to Yoga students new to Kriya Yoga and also to Initiated students looking to deepen their own practice.
