Swami Veda Bharatí Livres

This book on meditation is a holistic piece encompassing each and every aspect of meditation, be it the history, initiation, the actual practice, advanced breathing exercises, subtleties and restrictions, the persona of yogi as well as how it is a powerful unifying tool for world religion.

Subtler than the Subtle Shvetashvatara Upanishad is one of the sacred scriptures of the world, beautifully translated and paraphrased in this small volume by one of today's greatest Sanskrit scholars. Called "The Upanishad of the White Horse," it shares the wisdom of the yogic sages. Its suble verses open life's deep secrets to those who wish to find divine realization and become immortals.

This scholarly, insightful work integrates history and philosophical wisdom to span the gap between life and death. The inspiring examples cited from various cultural traditions draw us away from preoccupation with our own mortality and toward a deeper enjoyment of the life process itself. For those who are touched by the realism of death, this book bids us to look for the purpose in its lesson.
