The original "Yoga Secrets of Patanjali" are in themselves exceedingly brief, less than 10 pages in the original ancient texts. Yet, as they are based upon the great, timeless Bhagavad Gita, they contain the essence of all practical wisdom, set forth in admirable order and great detail. This timeless theme brings forth a palpable spiritual regeneration, the rebirth of the spiritual from the psychical: the same sacred theme which the realized yogis of India so wisely and eloquently set forth over 5,000 years ago.

This book is an abbreviated selection from the original 1910 book, The Master as I Saw Him, written by Bhagini ("Sister") Nivedita. Although there are now a number of newer publications of this classic (due to the fact it is now in the public domain), I thought it might be helpful to come out with an abbreviated edition, which focuses on the first quarter of the book. It is my hope that this short volume may serve as but an introductory glimpse into the life and work of one of the truly outstanding exponents of Indian philosophy and spirituality.

The Hindu epic poem Mahabharata by itself is 10 times longer than both the Iliad and Odyssey combined. In this volume, you will discover how the storm god Indra defeated the demon Vritrasura, and how Indra came to respect Vritrasura even though he had to kill him; how King Yayati had to choose between honoring his oath to his father-in-law on the one hand and the Dharma on the other, and what consequences came of his decision; and more.

Now, the greatest books of Eastern wisdom are brought together for the sake of those seeking the path of enlightenment and liberation.

In The Reluctant Family Man, Nilima Chitgopekar uses the life and personality of Shiva - his self-awareness, his marriage, his balance, his detachment, his contentment - to derive lessons that listeners can practically apply to their own lives.

Bhagavad-gita, the song of God, was sung some 5,000 years ago. It is the world's oldest scripture, read and revered by 850 million people worldwide. Here is the essence of this divine classic, presented to inform, enliven, and broaden the vision of children everywhere.

In this audiobook, we will discuss Surya, the Hindu god of the Sun. To many Hindus, he is the creator of the universe and the source of all that lives. I will take you through his 12 mantras. Each has its own power to change various aspects of your life. I will also discuss a novel way to get in tune with the Sun while you chant Surya's mantras. It involves geomagnetic rhythms. By adding this one element, you will enhance not only your work with Surya, but all other magical and mantra practices you may already be doing.

Realtà molteplice e multiforme, in cui coesistono le più diverse posizioni, l'induismo è più una cultura in senso antropologico che una religione: non si rifà a un fondatore originario, reale o mitico, non ha un contenuto dottrinale unitario, né una chiesa, né dogmi. Del resto gli induisti preferiscono parlare di "sanatana dharma", la legge eterna dell'universo, piuttosto che di religione. A questo mondo, affascinante e misterioso, in cui molti concetti per noi fondamentali, come quelli di tempo e di natura, acquistano significati diversi, è dedicato questo audiolibro.

The Ramayana is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of the ancient Vedas of India, the other being the Mahābhārata.The great epic, traditionally ascribed to Valmiki, narrates the life of Lord Rama, the legendary prince of the Kosala Kingdom. A spiritual giant in yogic devotional literature.

In the west, Hinduism is a religion that everyone has heard of, but one that few truly understand. It is regarded as one of the world's great religions and considered the indigenous religion of India. However, Hinduism, as it is conceived of today, is a conglomerate of a number of indigenous Indian religions. It was only the nonindigenous populations in India, namely the Turks and later the British, who defined what Hinduism was.
