Everyday Yogi
Not every spiritual master receives devotees and disciples in an ashram, nor delivers discourses for the public. Many stay away from the mainstream, focused on their spiritual goals and practice. They do not believe in institutions; their intent is achieving and guiding others towards self-realization. H.S. Shivaprakash, a renowned poet, scholar and playwright, has known many spiritual adepts in the course of his life, and has had the good fortune to be accepted as a disciple by them. Translated from the bestselling Kannada book, Batteesa Raga, Everyday Yogi tells the stories of powerful Christian mystics, Hindu gurus and Sufi pirs - untold stories that are as surprising as they are inspirin...
GURU
‘Spiritual freedom is to be found in the world, not away from it...’ Why do I need a guru? Why should I meditate? What is the use of mantras? Why does the breath matter in spiritual practice? What is the significance of sexuality on the spiritual path? What do I do with the restless mind? Such questions, vital to the understanding of the self and the world, are explored in Guru: Ten Doors to Ancient Wisdom. Using the metaphor of doors, the reader is invited to enter different ‘chambers’, each one presenting the opportunity to explore and experience the spiritual truths contained therein. The reader also learns how these spiritual concepts are, finally, only tools to take the practitioner to the ultimate goal: union with the Divine. Whether you want to begin your spiritual practice or simply understand the core concepts of Indian spirituality, this illuminating work by renowned playwright and spiritual guide, H.S. Shivaprakash, is sure to light up your path.
