Samadhi Pada, the first chapter of the Yoga Sutras. It is an incisive and
thought-provoking analysis of the subject. The book defines the special meaning of the
word 'yoga' as used by Patanjali, discarding the narrow denotation of the word in

asanas as we know them, but about the philosophical basis of these as expounded in the
Yoga Sutras. Rs. 300/- EK48 The Study and Practice of Yoga (Volume Two)
-- Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are aphoristic prescriptions in the form of pithy one-liners

individual merges with the Absolute. In this book the reader is led gradually through
the different aspects of practice and mind management. Volume I, which covers the Samadhi
Pada, the first of the four sections of the Yoga Sutras, and provides a good introduction
and in-depth understanding of the philosophy and practice of Yoga including the levels of
consciousness that are attained, has been printed first. Volume II covers the Sadhana Pada,
Vibhuti Pada and Kaivalya Pada, which go into further detail about the practice of Yoga
using the aphoristic rungs of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras as a veritable stairway 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. Rs. 350/- EK30 To Thine Own Self Be True

Swami Brahmanandaji. Rs. 80/- EB5 Wisdom Teachings (from the Mandukya Upanishad) -- "The Mandukya Upanishad of the Atharva Veda is the most important of all the major, or classical Upanishads. It is the priceless treasure of a student on the path of Jnana Yoga because through the Mandukya Upanishad alone, it has been said, can final emancipation be attained. This short Upanishad gives the secret meaning of Om, which is the name of Brahman. It gives an analysis of the three states of waking, dream and deep sleep, which we experience every day. Through a study and clear grasp of these states, through proper understanding of Om and its right significance, you can find the way to approach and realise Brahman. So, study the Mandukya Upanishad. The Mandukya alone is enough for the salvation of all aspirants." Thus wrote Satgurudev Sri Swami Sivananda. It is with great pleasure that we present to all sincere aspirants this rare volume that contains the wisdom teachings of a modern sage on the subject of the Mandukya Upanishad - His Holiness Sri Swami Brahmananda - a highly respected and admired monk of Sivananda Ashram.

There have been scores of biographies of Gurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj written by various disciples and devotees, but this work stands out as the best of all in many ways.

Suitable and attractive illustrations have profusely been added to enhance the value of the book. It is a must for any reader to know what is indeed the life of a true sage. Rs. 250/- EO67 Sivananda: Health and Hatha Yoga (Vol. 2) -- by Swami Venkatesananda. In a series of 19 volumes Swami Venkatesananda has compiled and edited almost 300 books of Holy Master Swami Sivananda. The present book, second in the series, gives a comprehensive understanding of good health and the ways and means envisioned and devised by the ancient ones for achieving it. The first section gives a lucid description of what constitutes good health, including many aspects that are often neglected. The second section, Hatha Yoga, deals with exercises for flexibility (covering all the joints of the body); classical yoga asanas and variations; twelve bandhas and mudras, and the shat-kriyas (cleansing teachniques). The concise and explicit chapter on pranayama covers every aspect of this important practice. In the section on kundalini the different aspects of this mysterious power are described in simple language. Sections on swara yoga and brahmacharya follow, and the book concludes with a chapter on concentration, meditation and Samadhi.

The essence of all religions, it is an integral part of life for millions of people. In this handbook on bhakti yoga, comprising what is surely the most authoritative and comprehensive text on the subject, Swami Sivananda has provided us with an inspiring guide to its practice. Through this volume it is possible to reach a complete understanding of this aspect of yoga, and implement its practice with the clear and practical instructions given by the author. Rs. 135/- EO72 Sivananda: Vedanta (Jnana Yoga) (Vol. 6) -- by Swami Venkatesananda. Swami Sivananda was an advaita vedantin (non-dualist). However it was not 'dry lip vedanta' that he practised and preached, but a dynamic practice of vedanta in daily life. In this book vedanta is explained in simple language with many homely illustrations and stories from the Upanishads, etc., so that the reader gets a clear understanding of the subject. Intricate points of vedanta are also thoroughly covered: but Swami Sivananda does not allow the reader to settle for intellectual knowledge alone. In his inimitable way he seasons what could have been a dry and technical book with the enthusiasm and soul-force of one who has mastered the subject and experienced its fruits.

Rs. 50/- EO61 Stories for Children -- by Swami Ramarajyam. The stories of this book are different from those which are generally available in the bookstore and are much more than bedtime or entertaining stories. A majority of the stories of this book are based on scriptures, historical incidents, true happenings and hearsay. Swami Ramarajyam has dug morals out of almost all the stories without being prosaic. This forms the structure of divine life and is also a strong shield against the storm of doubts, frustration and worries which disturb the calm waters of life.
