THE QUEST OF THE OVERSELF (Paul Bruntion)
Other Religion Books
From the prolific pen of Paul Bruntion, this volume pulls no punches in trying the condition. Since time began, man has sought answers to the most basic question: Why am I here in existence? Who, within my inner soul, am I? What is our true self? Is there a constant within us? Are we more than transient flesh that is doomed to rot? Are we the victims of emotional fluctuations? How can we relate to time? Are we captives of what we perceive as time? What does the author mean by the Overself? Does the Overself – the supreme spirit within us – transcend space & time? As you delve deeper into the array of questions posed & answers suggested, you realize how well written are these wise words. With apparently consummate ease, the author makes his points clearly enough for all to grasp. His most pressing objective is to open the door, to suggest ways of reaching for the deepest evidence of the self. Meditation is one key tool, but not necessarily of a exacting nature. Breathing has its place, as has the involvement of the eyes. All these tools have been well known in the East for centuries. To unravel the sense & presence of the Overself is the undying pursuit of this fascinating & intriguing book.
399/=THE RIDDLE OF GANESHA (BY RANKORATH KARUNAKARAN)
Other Religion Books
This book is presented to the readers with a foreword by His Holiness Dr.E. Nandiswara Nayake Thero. The author made it clear that His Holiness’ wisdom shall prevail over that of the author in the assessmant of the typescript. Manatma Gandhi said, “God is not person but an immutable law & in this the law & the maker are one”. Buddha called this immutable law as Dharma. Chrisa called it as Eloi the Will of his Father in heaven. Mohammed called it as Allah a word related to El & Eloi. Einstein called it as the cosmic law, Douglas Fawcet referred to it as cosmic. Intelligence, Spinoza illustrated the law by saying “two apples addles to twoapples make four”. Any amount of prayer or pious wish will not make it five. Even God will not countenance such a move. Gansha obviusly is a desing likewise meant to convey a profound meaning. But owing to the play of ignorance a good geal of ritualism has sprung up around him clouding the meaning of his design & form. This is unfair & it behoves one & all who is in search of knowledge to probe into the deeper meaning behind Ganesha’s funny form. The author offers his sincere thanks to Mr. Howard Murphet the learned author of ‘Sai Baba—Man of Miracles’ for suggesting the title this book. This book is placed in the hands of the readers of the readers by the author in all humility as a humble tribute to Ganesha.

390/=THE STORY OF AN EPOCH SWAMI VIRAJANANDA & HIS TIME (BY SWAMI SHRADDHANANDA)
Other Religion Books
Blossoming Youth ---- In the middle of the nineteenth century, the widower Ram Ratan Baus moved with his children to Calcutta from his ancestral village of Kodalia in the district of 24 Parganas, West Bengal. There he established a thriving business & built a home for his daughter & five sons in the Simla district of the city. The motherless family he reared with great affection. In this he was assisted somewhat by the kind-hearted widow of a distant cousin. Aware of his sagacity & generous disposition, people sought his counsel in times of need. Though Ram Ratan was a devotee of the Divine Mother Kali & chanted Her name when he found it possible, he had little time for a serious religious life. As years rolled by, he arranged for his eldest son Trailokyanath, a medical student, to be married to a young girl named Nishadkali. Nishadkali was the second daughter of Vinode Bihari Mitra, of an aristocratic family in Ahiritola, North Calcutta. In that neighourhood this gentleman was highly respected for his irreproachable character. Steady & serious, he was nevertheless full of kindness towards everyone. On the terrace of his three-storeyed house he grew a number of flowering plants to which he gave much love & attention. Well into his old age Vinode Bihari continued to perform athletic exercises & to walk four or five miles each day. In religious matters his inclination was towards Vaishnavism, & he practiced repetition of the Lord’s name, morning & evening, several thousand times without deviation. Because of his fine disposition, his large family lived at all time in harmony & peace.
60/=THE STUDY & PRACTICE OF YOGA (An Expostion of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali)Volume I-- SWAMI KRISHNANANDA
Other Religion Books
ABOUT THIS BOOK:- Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras are aphoristic prescriptions in the form of pithy one-liners for leading the mind into deeper states of absorption in the state of Samadhi, where the individual merges with the Absolute. A tranquil mind is a prerequisite for attaining higher states of awareness & the Yoga Sutras are a graduated manual for the achievement of this goal. The aphorisms, as they are in their original form, cannot be easily understood. Swami Krishnananda’s commentary in his friendly, lucid style probes into the aphorisms & lays before seekers the approach to understanding the mind & its machinations, & how the hurdles that make meditation difficult can be overcome. The rendition & style with which this has been made possible is a tribute to Swamiji’s love for Truth. This series of two volumes is an all-encompassing spiritual guide. The teachings are progressive in content & begin where most seekers find themselves when spiritual aspiration dawns & the need for higher understanding is felt. The reader is led gradually through the different aspects of practice & mind management. Volume I, which covers the Samadhi Pada, the first of the four sections of the Yoga Sutras, & provides a good introduction & in-depth understanding of the philosophy & practice of yoga including the levels of consciousness that are attained, has been printed first. Volume II covers the Sadhana Pada, Vibhuti Pada & Kaivalya Pada, which go into further detail about the practice of yoga using the aphoristic rungs of Patanji’s Yoga Sutras as a veritable on the path of the ascent of the spirit. Nothing is left unsaid as Swamiji brings the teachings together in two volumes as a complete treatise on this spiritual path.
