The Mind of Swami Vivekananda: An Anthology and A Study
$1.00 Add to cartThe Mind of Swami Vivekananda: An Anthology and A Study
Swami Vivekananda is regarded as the patriot saint of modern India and an inspirer of her dormant national consciousness. His inspiring personality was well known both in India and the West. This spiritual leader of India leapt into fame at the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago, at which he represented Hinduism. His vast knowledge of Eastern and Western culture as well as his deep spiritual insight, brilliant conversation, broad human sympathy, and colourful personality evoked popular interest in Hindu philosophy. He introduced the philosophy of vedanta to the west and preached the ideal of a strength-giving and man-making religion. Service to man as the visible manifestation of the Godhead was the special form of worship he advocated. In this volume Gautam Sen pieces together the representative portions of the Swamis philosophy along with a running commentary of his own.

The Mother As I Saw Her: Reminiscences of Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi
$7.00 Add to cartThe Mother As I Saw Her: Reminiscences of Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi
Here in these pages is given a vivid and realistic pen-picture of a unique personality—unique because she was a nun, wife and mother at the same time. The Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, the divine yet human consort of Sri Ramakrishna, is here presented, as nowhere else, in all her rustic simplicity, which breaks the barriers of commonality by its artless naturalness inspired by a universal love which made no distinction between friend and foe, the small and the great, the ignorant and the wise, but enfolded every living being in the charming fragrance of motherliness that her personality exuded.Swami Saradeshananda, the recorder of these precious reminiscences, is a disciple-son of the Mother who had opportunities to serve her very intimately and thus hear all those conversations and witness all those small events that took place in the obscure village of Jayrambati. He has therefore drawn a pen-picture of the Mother with a wealth of details, thus giving a realistic presentation of the concept of Universal Motherhood in human terms.

The Spiritual Quest and the Way of Yoga
$46.50 Add to cartThe Spiritual Quest and the Way of Yoga
Guidance for Your Spiritual Journey–from the Wisdom of Yoga and Vedanta “The ultimate goal of life is to discover the divinity within ourselves and in all beings and things. This will lead us to adore our true Self, adore our fellow beings, and adore the world that is but a reflection of Reality. This reunion with the Absolute–the core of our individual being as well as of the universe–is the true meaning of yoga.” –from chapter 13 The yoga way maintains that spiritual quest is not a matter of choice but a vital necessity for total well-being. This comprehensive guide for spiritual seekers of all faiths and backgrounds presents a roadmap to Self-knowledge, the goal of spiritual quest, and shows that reconnecting with the center of your being, your true Self, is real, tangible and attainable. Exploring the route to spiritual fulfillment through the teachings of Yoga and Vedanta, Swami Adiswarananda outlines the meaning of spiritual quest, the nature of and the preparations necessary for the journey and the milestones you will use to chart your progress. He also draws from the sacred texts of these time-tested traditions to address the vital questions that often trouble spiritual seekers, such as: Which spiritual path should I follow? How can I attain liberation? What are the dangers and obstacles on the spiritual path? How do I control the restless mind? Why are there many religions and what is the way to interfaith unity?
