An exhaustive approach to the treatment of diabetes.
Coming as it does from the pen of a realised sage, this book is rich in sagely wisdom and wit, and should prove an invaluable asset to every seeker in his onward march to God-head.
The greatness and the sublimity of the Upanishads are well known to all the students of philosophy. There have been attempts to approach the books through various standpoints. Much has been written over the knotty problems of interpretation, by the Eastern and Western scholars. And yet the lay reader has not understood the central teachings fully well. Gurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj, in his comprehensive volume The Principal Upanishads has given exhaustive commentary on Nine Upanishads and stressed such points clearly and truly, explaining the abstruse ideas in his own inimitable style, thus laying bare the sacred doctrine not only before the eligible pupil but also the lay reader. For the convenience of the readers, we are bringing out each Upanishad in a separate book. The present volume contains the text, translation, notes and commentary on Aitareya Upanishad.

We beg to place before the spiritually inclined public and habitual readers of Sri Swami Sivanandaji’s works, another drama in four acts in the shape of the present volume. The "Brahmacharya Drama" which was the first of its kind written by Sri Swamiji at first appeared in his monumental work: "Sure Ways for Success in Life and God-realisation." Seeing that this drama had peculiar appeal to the students and the public, it was later printed as a separate volume in the present series. It also came to be staged in different parts of the country and was translated into one of the South Indian languages and into Hindi and enacted before crowded gatherings by highly educated persons.
The setting of the present drama is very realistic and should have its own appeal to lovers of histrionics. Our present object will surely be served if this drama is staged by them before crowded audiences with the sole object of sowing the seeds of spirituality on new grounds. We also hope that the reading public at large will accord it a thundering welcome and popularise it amongst others.
This drama will be translated and printed in Hindi for the benefit of the Hindi knowing public.

Anything Indian is spiritual and music is specially so. Our music is intended to enable the mind melt in the melody and since the Swaras have their own vibratory chords in the inner psychic centres - Chakras in the Sushumna, this Mano-laya at once releases the latent spiritual power and leads to blissful Samadhi. So we have an illustrious galaxy of saints as the foremost artists: Thyagaraja, Dikshitar, Shyama Sastrigal, Purandaradasa, Mira Bai, etc. It is hoped that this volume would enable the public and musicians to view music in the proper light as an Anga of Sankirtana Yoga, as an aid to the purification of the heart and as a Sadhana that leads to Bhava-Samadhi.

Age after age, men-of-God have come to re-awaken the spirit of real religion in man. Their awakening call has been worded in the language of the times, comprehensible by the common man of the age.

This is one of a dozen or so 'sayings' books by the author containing the essence of the perennial wisdom of centuries forcefully highlighted.
Unravels the mysteries of the after-life and destinies of the human soul. Treats in detail and furnishes an answer to the age-old question.
This is a book meant for children and adults, the young and the old, men and women alike. The human touch in him coupled with his deep sagacity and impervious knowledge have proved to be such a beautiful combination of the relative and the superphysical characters that his writings are a joy to the sorrowful, a strength to the weak, an illumination to the ignorant. The blending of intelligence and feeling, a melting of the head and the heart, is a common feature found in these outflows of his blissful expressions. Human troubles are not alleviated through flowery speeches and subtle hairsplitting arguments, for the source of sorrow is rooted in the very make-up of the individual and not in his superficial coatings. The inner disease is not cured by washing the outer shirt. The root has to be dug out.
Yoga Asanas have acquired an importance which has a twofold character. They are not only a set of all-round physical exercises but a preparatory stage for the practice of Yoga. A profusely illustrated handbook on important Asanas for beginners, with a section devoted for Pranayama practice.

Sivananda Adhyatma Sutras and Sivananda Prasnottari (Questions and Answers) were also dealt with.

Worshipful Gurudev, out of his great love and compassion, used to write individual letters to thousands of his disciples all over the world to give them personal spiritual guidance. This book ‘Sivananda Upanishad’ has twelve Adhyayas i.e. chapters pertaining to different aspects of Yoga Sadhana and Spiritual Life. In the present edition, the first eight chapters along with transcription and Hindi translation are being published as ‘Sivananda Upanishad-I’
This divine rosary is stung with 108 priceless pearls of wisdom i.e. Handwritten Messages of Worshipful Sri Swami Chidanandaji Maharaj, which have been devoutly gathered and beautifully compiled from Pujya Swamiji Maharaj’s Letters and messages.
108 inspiring early morning meditation talks given in the Samadhi Hall. Seekers will find within a universal message and a compelling call. Soul-stirring and thorough-going, these lectures cover the entire gamut of spiritual life with penetrating clarity and angle of vision.
The talks in this book are powerful messages to whichever group might receive them, but they are especially powerful for a Western audience. Swamiji must have given the talks with the Western perspective and cultural conditioning in mind. He has been able to distil the wisdom of the East into ideas and examples that relate directly to the life experience of the Westerners who heard the talks or who might be reading them in this book. Swamiji's great love and compassion are evident in his talks.
Talks delivered during the extensive tours of the author both in India and abroad. They are lucid, highly inspiring, practical and universal in nature. Addressing spiritual aspirants all over the world, this book again is a veritable treat.
Readers will find in this booklet how organism-centred ego, the sworn enemy of man, is responsible for keeping the spiritual aspirants away from God and how it has made us exploiters of the distressed, creators of disharmony and instruments of social conflicts. This booklet contains a complete verbal tableau of this enemy and also presents a complete strategy to battle against and annihilate it. But this is not all. The concluding description of the victorious end of this battle - 'the great day of days, of rejoicing, of hallelujah' - fills the reader with hope that the dark night of the ego will end, sooner or later, and be followed by the 'sunrise of God-awareness'.
While there are commentaries on the Yoga scriptures from orthodox points of view, teachers have very rarely attempted to bring the loving message of Yoga to the hearts of people. In the present publication, Swamiji has presented to the seeking public the knowledge of Yoga as it actually has to be imparted to the novitiates who wish to receive instruction in a parental fashion.
This book contains a series of illuminating lectures delivered during Navaratri Durga Puja - all about the Divine Mother. Even a mere reading of this precious book consisting of talks given on nine consecutive days is a Supreme Sadhana by itself.
This book is a beautiful compilation of Pujya Swamiji Maharaj’s inspiring and thought-provoking discourses on the divine scripture ‘Srimad Bhagavad Gita’.
This booklet, which is a compilation of the words of wisdom spoken by revered Swami Chidanandaji on different occasions and at different times, deals with the subject of 'Life'. Our life is so near us, yet it has not been properly understood by us. In this booklet revered Swamiji tells us what life is and what the true purpose of life is. Like a revolutionary seer he boldly tries to change our view of life. He says that life is not a biological process. It is living in and for God. It is that state of existence which is upheld by sacrifice. He also says that daily life is not a humdrum repetition of daily chores, rather it is a test of inner sadhana. Read in this booklet what the science of living life is, what the basic truths of life are and what God wants us to achieve in our life. Read this booklet attentively. It will pave the path for transforming your human existence into a God-oriented purposeful life-useful to others.

Autobiography पुस्तक का हिन्दी अनुवाद
A series of four discourses delivered during the Sadhana Week program held in the Ashram in 1997 as a general outline and introduction to spiritual practice. Swamiji Maharaj explains why it is necessary to do sadhana, and the importance of meditation in spiritual practice. This book will be of help to all spiritual seekers who wish to attain the ultimate goal of life, which is God-realisation.
These lectures on Yoga were meant for students who had come to the Ashram for the first time. Sri Swamiji Maharaj lucidly explains what yoga is and why it is necessary, what the Ultimate Reality is, and how to practise meditation in order to realise It.

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita is read all over the world, and has also been translated into many languages. Signifying the supreme glory of this divine scripture, Sadgurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj says, "Just as the dark, unfathomed depths of the ocean contain the most precious pearls, so also the Gita contains spiritual gems of incalculable value." Worshipful Sri Swami Krishnanandaji Maharaj, the scholarly saint of our Ashram, dived deep into the ocean of this sacred scripture and culled sublime and soul-stirring spiritual truths. Sri Swamiji Maharaj most graciously shared his wisdom treasure with all through a series of talks given in 1989, and made seekers eternally indebted to him.

'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.
