Twenty-Four Aspects of Mother Kali
Eternal salutations to Sri Durga, to Sri Kali, the boundless ocean of spiritual Wisdom who is the Divine Mother of the Universe. This ever-present Goddess epitomizes both the bliss of unlimited Awareness and the enthralling play of universal projection. She manifests countless beings abiding in an infinite set of worlds, seen and unseen, gross and subtle, hidden and exposed. Her existence is confirmed by the holy scriptures, for She is perceived intellectually by means of the Six Darshanas, Her perpetually flowing streams of eternal spiritual knowledge. She is approached and contacted by the devotees through intense sadhana, spiritual disciplines prescribed by the guru, and She is accessible...
Dissolving the Mindstream
A deep exploration of the traditional Yoga and Vedanta perspective that the universe has come from the mind and that meditation should lead to absorption in the nondual Self. Babaji Bob Kindler explains the method of dissolving the mindstream with the help of charts and a guided meditation.
Footfalls of the Indian Rishis
This handbook of India's Timeless Wisdom, complete with full color, artistic teaching charts, is an expansive and comprehensive resource for students, practitioners, and teachers alike. A work in progress for over 15 years, Babaji Bob Kindler created hundreds of "dharma art wisdom charts" to express the practical and esoteric knowledge of Yoga, Sankhya, Vedanta, Advaita Vedanta, Tantra, Yoga Vasishtha, Kundalini, Buddhism, India's Luminaries, and more. These stunning wisdom charts cover an extensive array of topics in spiritual life: food, body, prana, mind, consciousness, Awareness, karma and reincarnation, Maya, spiritual practice, samadhi, stages of Enlightenment, the Bhakti Path, integration of the Four Yogas, and countless others. Each of the 299 full color charts are accompanied by detailed commentary. An extensive glossary of Sanskrit terms is included.
The Book of Kali
One of the most unconventional yet immensely popular deities in the Hindu pantheon, goddess Kali essentially represents the dark and contrary aspects of the cosmos. Her naked form and association with violence, blood and gore challenge the very concept of divinity. Yet, over the centuries, she has come to represent a whole gamut of conflicting images-from bloodthirsty ogress to benign goddess. So today while she is venerated as Chamunda, a deity who verges on the macabre and grotesque, she is also adored in household shrines in one of her milder forms, Dakshina-Kali. It is this evolution of Kali-from her origin as a tantric goddess to her metamorphosis into a divinity in mainstream religion-that Seema Mohanty captures brilliantly in this book. Drawing upon a variety of sources-rituals associated with the worship of Kali, tales from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Puranas, the Tantras and Agamas, folklore and films-she has succeeded in portraying in engrossing detail the myriad manifestations of the enigmatic deity that is Kali.
Encountering Kali
Encountering Kali explores one of the most ramarkable divinities the world has seen. The Hindu goddess Kali is simultaneously understood as a blood thirsty warrior a deity of ritual possession a tantric sexual partner and an all loving compassionate mothe. Popular and scholarly interest in her has been on the rise in the west in recent years. Responding to this phenomenon McDermott and Kripal`s volume focuses on the complexities involved in interpreting Kali in both her indigenous south Asian settings and her more recent Western incarnation. Through the shifting lenses of scriptural history temple architecture political reflection and the goddess`s recent guises on the Internet the contributors pose questions that illuminate our understanding of Kali while addressing the problems and promises inherent in every act of cross cultural interpretation.
Vasiṣṭha's Yoga
This is Swami Venkatesananda's longer Yoga Vasiṣṭha. His two volume book is here offered between two covers. Its purpose is to provide a means to eliminate psychological conditioning and to attain liberation. Containing the instructions of the sage Vasiṣṭha to Lord Rama, this scripture is full of intricately woven tales, the kind a great teacher might tell to hold the interest of a student.
The Yugas
Millions are wondering what the future holds for mankind, and if we are soon due for a world-changing global shift. Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and his teacher, Sri Yukteswar, offered key insights into this subject. They presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years. According to their teachings, we have recently passed through the low ebb in that cycle and are moving to a higher age—an Energy Age that will revolutionize the world. Over one hundred years ago Yukteswar predicted that we would live in a time of extraordinary change, and that much that we believe to be fixed and true—our entire way of looking at the world — would be transformed and uplifted. In The Yugas, authors Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz present substantial and intriguing evidence from the findings of historians and scientists that demonstrate the truth of Yukteswar’s and Yogananda’s revelations.
Manasana - The Superlative Art of Mental Posture
In the sacred Sanskrit language, "manas" means mind, while "asana" refers both to a physical position for the body as well as a cushion upon which one sits for meditation. By combining these two words, Manasana, Babaji Bob Kindler offers the contemporary practitioner of yoga and spirituality an effective way to place the mind into a state of steady balance. Using his signature teaching charts, Babaji elucidates upon an array of manasanas, or mental postures, that destroy impediments in the body, increase the flow of energy, refine emotions, and assist the mind in its search for Enlightenment. By consciously taking up an improved mental posture in the mind, the sincere aspirant can master awareness and attain to Yoga - Union with Ultimate Reality.
