What becomes of the Soul after death? is an eternal quest of man since time immemorial. Soul is immortal. Life on earth is halting place on the way to achievement of the goal of Life,God realization. Death is not the end of life but is a process of changing the instrument of experience. Birth is inevitably followed by death and death by rebirth. Life is a long chain,of which recurring births,planery lives and deaths are the links. Science about departed Souls and their planes of living is a subject of absorbiong interest. The other side of the death is scientifically examined and carefully described in this book of Swami Sivanananda Maharaj. It also gives an insight into different beliefs of various races and religions. The significance of different practices and customs in connection with the dead along with the beneficial effects of such oblations is explained in detail in the following chapters. Presentation of some of the rebirth cases along with a question and answer section makes an interesting reading. A careful study of the book will remove the veil of ignorance and the knowledge will make one free from horrors of death.

Lord Siva and His Worship

Alternative Medicine

Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj,as an exemplary Sannyasin,was one of the stalwarts in the spiritual field who considered the spirit of renunciation in a world of phantasmal presentations as of paramount importance.One would find that in all his writings there is an undercurrent of renunciation.Though he has tirelesly attempted in his various writings to present even to the novitate the true meaning of this supremely requisite qualification,namely,renunciation,one can safely conclude that there is no feature of spiritual life more misunderstood and misinterpreted than the demand for renunciation as a response to the call of the higher life.The illusion before the eyes of the man is so inscrutably constructed that not even the wisest of people have found it easy to extricate themselves from it's powerful cluthches penetrating into the vey vitals of one's being.This insistence on an interesting and improving factor in the leading of the truly spiritual life is to be considered the explanation for this book commencing at the outset with a not-much-known but awakening message through the first story.

Kundalini is the coiled up,dormant,cosmic power that underlies all organic and inorganic matter within us and any thesis that deals with it can avoid becoming too abstract,only with great difficulty.But within the pages of the book,the theory that undelies this cosmic power has been analysed to it's thinnest filaments,and practical methods have been suggested to awaken this great prisitne force in individuals.It explains the theory and illustrates the practice of Kundalini Yoga. 
This book will serve as a kindly light to the seeker and leads the seekr through the dark alleys of an as yet unexplored branch of Yogic exercises,while to the layman it contains a wealth of new infromation which is boud to be a valuable addition to his knowledge of Yogic culture. 
The book like many of Swamiji's works has run into twelve reprints since it was first published.

It's glory is indescribable. The essence of religion is Love." Exhorts the author. Love, if possessed even as a ray can cure all ills and bestow real joy and happiness. Read on...
