In the vast tapestry of Indian philosophy, three threads stand out for their profound insights and transformative potential: Sankhya, Yoga, and Vedanta. Each of these ancient systems offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality, consciousness, and the path to spiritual liberation. When woven together, they create a rich and vibrant narrative that speaks to the deepest aspects of the human experience. Sankhya provides the metaphysical foundation, delineating the dualistic interplay between Purusha (pure consciousness) and Prakriti (the material universe). It is within this framework that we understand the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and dissolution. Yoga, with its practical approach, offers the tools and techniques to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. Through disciplined practice, one can transcend the limitations of the physical and mental realms, experiencing the union of the individual self with the universal consciousness. Vedanta, the culmination of Vedic wisdom, transcends duality, revealing the ultimate truth of non-dualism. It teaches that the apparent separation between the self and the cosmos is an illusion, and that in reality, all is one. In this short though summarized book, we explore the exhilarating convergence of these three philosophies, focusing on the transformative journey of Kundalini awakening. This sacred process is likened to a divine marriage festival, where Prakriti and Purusha unite in a blissful embrace. As the dormant Kundalini energy rises through the chakras, it awakens the latent potential within, leading to profound spiritual realization and inner harmony. Join us on this enchanting journey, where ancient wisdom meets modern understanding, and the timeless dance of Purusha and Prakriti unfolds in all its splendor. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious seeker, this book offers insights and inspiration to guide you on your path to self-discovery and enlightenment. *All chapters in this book were originally part of our earlier work; 'Kundalini Science' series' 'Spiritual Psychology' books.

First time in the history of India, in 1958, a Sankaracarya visited West. The author, His Holiness Jagadguru Sankaracarya Sri Bharati Krsna Tirtha of Puri, went to America at the invitation of the Self Realization Fellowship, Los Angeles, to spread the message of Vedanta. This book is a compilation of some of his discourses delivered there. These discourses by a saint-yogi and master of ancient Indian scriptures, also well-versed in modern sciences, give the essentials of Vedanta. They combine authenticity of thought with simplicity of language. Being couched in the contemporary idiom they will be found to be particularly suited to the modern mind. Though addressed to American audiences, the discourses carry a message of eternal truth and of universal application. The steps of spiritual inquiry and the paths of God-realisation outlined in them will be of immense practical use to the readers in their quest for the Supreme.

Commentary by Swami Tejomayananda. In this short and beautiful composition, Adi Sankara, the Master, has condensed the essence of Vedanta in just 31 verses, which are very useful to all serious seekers.

In this lecture, Swami Vivekananda discusses some of the crucial and most pertinent issues surrounding the practice of devotion in a succinct way. He brilliantly brings out the rationale of this practice, ignorance of which has been the main cause of the timeless conflict in the religious scenario of the world. This booklet by Advaita Ashrama, a Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, forcefully justifies the need of Bhakti or Devotion for every man while still in the nursery of religious life.

This book is a lucid English translation of learned talks given by Swami Ritajananda in French on the wide scope of meditation. A senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order, he was head of the Centre Vedantique Ramakrishna in Gretz, France, for a few decades. His associate, John Philips, has done the translation. The book goes far beyond the popular and superficial meaning of meditation as it passes off in the modern world. On the contrary, it is a step-by-step exploration of, among other things, what it is, its value, its objective, techniques, practices and how to overcome the variety of impediments on the path. This book will be useful to people of all religions who are seeking the ultimate goal of liberation through meditation.
