Many students are confused by Sanskrit terms and the many different paths of yoga expounded by various schools. In this concise yet exhaustive volume, now a widely read text for students of yoga and spirituality, the author has clarified the doubts and questions of students from all parts of the world. In his wide travels he has instructed aspirants of every racial and religious group and understood their basic and urgent needs.Endorsed with forewords from the Vatican and heads of Anglican, Jewish and Sufi faiths, Yoga is highly recommended reading for all seekers of truth, saner living and self knowledge. About the AuthorSwami Venkatesananda, for twenty years a recluse and asetic disciple of the world renown sage Swami Sivananda, spent the next twenty years continuing his service of Guru and humanity, teaching through word and example the ideal of enlightened life: the practice of yoga in a modern context. The most outstanding feature of his life and writings is the simplicity which is reflected in his common sense view of our seemingly complex problems. Swami Venkatesanandas practical instruction in yoga postures, meditation and the application of yoga philosophy indicate his deep personal knowledge and insight into both the teachings themselves and the dynamics of life.During the first part of my stay in South Africa in 1961, I noticed an intense desire on the part of many Indians and Non-Indians to rediscover for adoption in their own lives a saner2 glue of life. The impact of materialistic civilization made it difficult Sir them to assimilate orthodox teaching as offered in the scriptures; they were not quite satisfied with a complete break-away from tradition into the free-thinkers bye-lanes where a

Those of us who believe in the One God know that, albeit in various ways and forms, everyone worships Him alone. We may start to climb a mountain from any place we like, but the higher we get the closer we get to each other. Only God can restore this understanding - and He does, by periodically manifesting Himself on this earth plane. Two such manifestations fuel the hearts of all humanity today - Krishna and Christ. Are they two? Do not even the names sound similar? and their lives... and their teachings? Are they two or one?Historians charm us with well-reasoned arguments to prove Christ lived two thousand years ago, and Krishna nearly four or five thousand years ago. In prehistoric calculations, thousands of years are but hours in contemporary history! Could it be that Christ lived a little earlier and Krishna a little later then at present believed? Could it be then, that we are talking about the same Person, some calling Him Christ and others Krishna? Any guess is hazardous. But if He reveals the Truth, may it not unite us all - Hindu and Christian - in the realization that we are all truly brothers  and sister, worshiping the Same Divinity? Let us look at the life and teachings of Christ and Krishna with our eye of intuition so we may obtain as much inspiration as possible.

Christ, Krishna, and You

Chiltern Yoga Foundation

The Yoga Vasishtha is the greatest help to the spiritual awakening and the direct experience of the Truth. This is certain. If this is what you want, you are welcome to the Yoga Vasishtha. This world is a confusion, even as the blueness of the sky is an optical illusion. I think it is better not to let the mind dwell on it, but to ignore it. This verse occurs several times in the scripture and it seems to be the very essence of the teaching. If that is not quite clear to you now, read the scripture. the numerous ways in which this truth is revealed will help you open your mind.

Multiple Reflections: Talks on the Yoga Vasistha

Springs of Action: The End of Worry is based on a series of talks given on the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. These talks were in Sydney, Australia in 1975 by Swami Venkatesananda. Eldership Academy Press would like to make this timeless wisdom available to you in book format. From the book: "I will tell you a story and see if the story, though it is considered a legend or a myth, has some relevance to our own life. The reason that tempts me to use this scripture is that my guru, Swami Sivananda, often insisted that this Bhagavad Gita has an immediate relevance to you and me, because it deals with this fundamental problem that faces each one of us in our own life; the problem of being human, of relationship, the problem of action, and the problem of living itself. Why have we made it a problem? Instead of solving the problem, is there a possibility we can dissolve it?" Swami Venkatesananda, Venkatesananda Saraswati, (29 December, 1921 in Tanjore, South India-2 December, 1982 in Johannesburg, South Africa), was a disciple of Sivananda Saraswati. He received his spiritual training at the Divine Life Society in Rishikesh, India, and disseminated his master's teachings in South Africa, Mauritius, Australia, and New Zealand. Venkatesananda said that he had been specially commissioned by his master, Sivananda, to spread the gospel of goodness - the four words: "Be Good, do Good."
