Yoga in Modern India
Yoga has come to be an icon of Indian culture and civilization, and it is widely regarded as being timeless and unchanging. Based on extensive ethnographic research and an analysis of both ancient and modern texts, Yoga in Modern India challenges this popular view by examining the history of yoga, focusing on its emergence in modern India and its dramatically changing form and significance in the twentieth century. Joseph Alter argues that yoga's transformation into a popular activity idolized for its health value is based on modern ideas about science and medicine. Alter centers his analysis on an interpretation of the seminal work of Swami Kuvalayananda, one of the chief architects of the ...
Srimad Bhagavad Gita
"The true spiritual commentary on the Bhagavad Gita is hereby published. Other than Kriyanvitas, no one else will be capable of understanding this, the reason being that from the beginning to end, Kriya and the states of Kriya are described here. If ordinary people read this they can create opposite meanings and, only paying attention to the words and language, will create all kinds of complicated agrumentations; thus, not understanding the essense of this, they will go about with nothing but the words. But for aware and devoted Kriyavans, this is a jewel of the heart. As they progress in Kriya - in the same way will they easily be able to discern its [the work's] true significance." -distilled from the Introduction of the original Bengali Edition English translation by Yoga Niketan Print edition is 657 pages

New Lives
These Interviews in their variety and originality have achieved classic status. They were first published in New York in 1989, enlarged and reprinted in India in 2004, but in this edition now appear for the first time complete and unabridged in the definitive version as prepared by the author, Malcolm Tillis, who travelled the length and breadth of India to collect them during the 11 years he lived in this extraordinary country. They were given by Westerners from different cultures and backgrounds who had also been drawn to the India of mystics and gurus in search of spiritual fulfilment. Their adventures, hardships, goals, attainments and their different spiritual practises are discussed in depth. There are also many humorous incidents we can enjoy and relate to. Several of those interviewed have since become well known as writers, some have become gurus themselves with their own followers, a few have reached iconic status.
Meditation
Many claim that meditation is effective in the treatment of many ailments associated with stress and high blood pressure, and in the management of pain. While there are many popular books on meditation, few embrace the science as well as the art of meditation. In this volume, Shapiro and Walsh fill this need by assembling a complete collection of scholarly articles--Meditation: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives. From an academic rather than a popular vantage, the volume takes the claims and counterclaims about meditation to a deeper analytical level by including studies from clinical psychology and psychiatry, neuroscience, psychophysiology, and biochemistry. Each selection is a contribu...

The Philosophy of Self-Realisation of Swami Yegeshwaranand Saraswati
Swami Yogeshwaranand Saraswati was a great yogi of his time who had attained perfect mastery over Samadhi. His knowledge of self and God is based on the intuitive experiences he gained in deep meditation. Although he followed the Samkhya-Yoga systems of Philosophy, he deviated from their concepts wherever he experienced truth differently in his meditative vision. His views about the Vrittis and Samskaras are radically different from what is believed by the Samkhya School of Philosophy. In this present book, the author has analysed and discussed some of the most radical aspects of the Philosophy of Swami Yogeshwaranand. His approach is critical but he is also appreciative of some of the findi...
