Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge
$8.50 Add to cartJnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge
Jnana yoga is called the path of knowledge, or the path of non-dualism. This yoga has become popular in the west, especially for people who wish to bypass the concept of a personal God and the excesses of organized religion. Of special note are the series of lectures on “Practical Vedanta” found in the book. This is not a section on dry theory that does not relate to the world, but an active guide to integrating Vedanta into our daily lives. Swami Vivekananda’s most important teachings on Jnana Yoga were given in the West.

Karma Yoga: the Yoga of Action
$3.00 Add to cartKarma Yoga: the Yoga of Action
It is said in the practice of Vedanta that we have a right to work, but don’t have a right to the results of our actions. We have to work as hard as we can, give the work our best quality effort, then step back and let the results take care of themselves. Or in the practice of yoga, offer the results to God.Work purifies the soul. This concept is a bit different than many of us have been taught in the West, but the book offers an interesting approach that can save us from a lot of misery and bring us closer to God. In fact, you don’t even need to believe in God to practice this yoga.

Leo Tolstoy and Sri Ramakrishna
$2.00 Add to cartLeo Tolstoy and Sri Ramakrishna
“Contacts between the minds of Tolstoy and Ramakrishna are parts of larger intercultural contacts which are by no means facile or free from problems and difficulties. They were contemporaries. Ramakrishna was about eight years younger than Tolstoy, but died about twenty-four years earlier. They never met, and the Russian writer did not hear about Ramakrishna in the latter’s lifetime. Tolstoy got to know about his Indian contemporary only by the end of his own long life and made occasional references to Sri Ramakrishna’s ideas of equal validity of different religions and religious universalism in his talks and conversations.”

Life in Indian Monasteries: Reminiscences About Monks of the Ramakrishna Order
$24.50 Add to cartLife in Indian Monasteries: Reminiscences About Monks of the Ramakrishna Order
Life in Indian Monasteries is a book of charming, inspirational anecdotes about many of the saintly monks of the Ramakrishna Order of India, founded in 1886 by Swami Vivekananda, in the name of his Guru, Sri Ramakrishna. The stories, written with an insider’s genuine understanding, reveal what Hindu monks do in their day-to-day lives, how they interact with one another, their humor, and their spiritual greatness. A holy man behaves with outsiders in one way, hiding his inner spiritual personality—his true self. This book mainly recounts anedotes about the hidden, true sides of many of the monks of the Ramakrishna Order. It covers most of the 20th century. Some of the anecdotes are the following: Brotherly Love To God-realized Souls the World is Divine Play Who Can Know a Knower of Brahman? The Importance of Not Asking for Anything Saints are not Identified with Their Bodies A Lesson in Obedience Saints do not Crave Power and Position God Answers Unselfish Prayers Wisdom Versus Ethical Behavior Sometimes it is Better to Take the Blame for Doing the Right Thing An Important Lesson for Monastics Everything Happens According to God’s Will Perfect Reliance on God’s Will Death-Defying Unsung Heroes Absence of False Ego in the Spiritually Exalted Monks Belong to the Entire World What is a True Miracle?
