Not Too Loose, Not Too Tight
THE GOLDEN MEAN After a life in the lap of royal luxury, the day of reckoning arrived. Prince Siddhartha, left his home, his family and the security of his palace to become an ascetic in the forest. He hardly are or slept. One day he fell into a partial swoon. In that semi-conscious state, he heard an interesting conversation. A novice was asking his teacher, "Master, how am I to tune my vīṇā (and Indian musical instrument, here symbolising the human personality)?" The teacher replied, "Son, tune not the vīṇā too tight - the strings would break. And don't string them too loose, for then they would not create music". With this new insight, Siddhartha rose, revived himself with a meal and sat refreshed under the bodhi tree to meditate with new resolve. And thus the Buddha was born. This 'Golden Mean', which has since become one of the pillars of the Buddhist way of life, had made all the difference. 'NOT TOO LOOSE, NOT TOO TIGHT, JUST RIGHT' This is what this pocket book is all about! It teaches you to strike the right balance in life and often it makes all the difference between a life of mediocrity and one of success.

Facing Fear
Everyone is plagued with fears-fear of death, fear of public speaking, fear o losing our dear ones - being common to all. Facing Fear (Abhaya Vidya) goes into the very root of all fears and teaches us how to attain a state of total fearlessness. It also gives practical means of facing various fears. This book written in the Upanishad style by Swamini Vimalananda, is a story of a seeker about how she faces a fearful situation while in solitude, with the knowledge of Vedanta. The commentary makes the deep Vedantika thoughts easy to understand. It provokes us into thinking about various aspects of fear in a holistic way
Infinite Bliss
The dream is the projection of the mind. Everything of the dream enjoys the same degree of reality. Yet some person, thing or transaction of the dream has the special power to wake us up. The seventh chapter of the Chandogya-upanishad, which is a dialogue between the great Sage Sanatkumara and his younger brother, turned disciple, the famous Narada, makes us realise that all knowledge is the play of words alone – nama eva etat. Yet the words of the text have the unique power not only to prepare us but finally awaken us to our true nature, which is Infinite Bliss – Bhumaiva Sukham. Swamini Vimalananda has added relevant notes to make the subject easier to grasp.
Living with Reality
"More than four decades have passed since I met the Aghori Vimalananda, and it has been thirty-three years since I last heard him speak. Happily for me he permitted me to write down many of his musings so that I would have them to remind me of the wisdom that he embodied. And, thanks to his compassion for others, he instructed me to publish some of this material after he was gone, which I did in the three Aghora books, books that I continue to regularly read and that continue to offer me thought-provoking guidance at any step along my own path.An aghori is someone who plunges so deep into darkness that he emerges into light. Aghora is a spiritual path that because of its extreme heterodoxy has been¿ough I cannot myself claim to be an aghori, the example that he thus set has inspired my own sophomoric attempts to transmute into equanimity all that is both gratifying and grotesque in life, focusing on the subtle world while living in mundane reality, for Vimalananda always emphasized the importance of living with reality."
