Book Description
A young boy uttered a hymn to Adi Sankaracharya on how his identity of being the Self is as clear as a fruit in the hand in answer to the question who he is. As Self-Knowledge was as natural and evident to him as a fruit in one’s hand, he became famous under the name of “Hastamalaka.” “Hasta” means hand, and “amalaka” is a small fruit with properties of rejuvenation. Adi Sankaracharya wrote a commentary on these verses answering various doubts to make the experience of the Self self-evident to all. Sri Ramana Maharshi also translated the verses to Tamil with some nuances that further make the Self-Knowledge self-evident. Since these three works present the true nature of the Self so clearly, the English translation of the three works is being presented in this book. The book starts with the story of Hastamalaka and flows into the hymn of Hastamalaka. It consists of twelve verses that succinctly reveal the Knowledge of the Self, proclaiming the identity of this eternal Knowledge and the Being of the Self. The hymn is addressed to Vishnu, the all-pervasive, the sustainer of the manifest world. The Sanskrit, English transliteration, and English translation of the verses are presented in the book. Also included in the present volume are an English translation of the Tamil version of the text by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and an English translation of Hastamalakiya-Bhashyam, which is the Sanskrit commentary by Adi Sankara upon these verses by his disciple.

Book Description
The son fulfills his name 'Putra' when he gives joy and saves his parents from hell. In Kapila Gita, the lord as Kapila Muni, through self-knowledge, transports his mother turned disciple, Devahuti, beyond joy and sorrow and heaven and hell, into a state of pure Bliss. Swami Tejomayananda further clarifies and beautifies this subtle teaching with lucid commentary. This wonderful teaching can become our passport to Bliss.

Book Description
Commentary by Swami Tejomayananda. Nirvana Shatkam, also known as atma shatkam, composed by Sri Adi Shankaracharya is a magnificently lucid piece of poetry, a razor-sharp distinction between reality and false identification and the product born from the very highest states of meditation. One by Shankaracharya negates all the usual identifications that we have and repeatedly insists, "chidananda roopa shivoham shivoham."

Book Description
A small boy, who was already a realized soul, narrated his experience of Sell-knowledge to Bhagavan Adi Shankaracharya. To the boy this knowledge was as clear as 'a gooseberry (amalaka) kept on the palm (hasta)', and so the boy was named Hastamalaka, He became famous as one of the four renowned disciples of the Acharya and the conversation compiled by the Acharya is 'Hastamalaka stotram'. The famous saint of Maharashtra, Sant Ekanatha Maharaja has written a beautiful commentary on this stotra in Marathi. Swami Purushottamananda brings out the quintessence of that commentary, which will be most valuable to English knowing seekers for contemplation and Self-realization.

Book Description
In his classic book Be Here Now, Ram Dass introduced the world to a young guru named Bhagavan Das. Continuing his own story in It's Here Now (Are You?), Bhagavan Das shares the profound and surreal moments of his spiritual awakening in the East, his fall from grace in the West, and his peaceful reconciliation with the sacred center. For many years in the early '70s Bhagavan Das moved through India and Nepal, embracing the austere life of a holy man, exploring Hinduism, Buddhism, transcendental meditation, tantra, worshipping the divine mother, and living under the loving blanket of his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Only twenty-five years old when he returned home to the States as a celebrity, he found himself traveling on the "guru circuit" with Ram Dass, Allen Ginsberg, Jerry Garcia, and Timothy Leary--living more like a rock star than the saint he was proclaimed to be. In compelling detail, Bhagavan Das explores the tortuous journey that led him from his quest for the sacred to his spiritual death and eventual rebirth. A vivid memoir like no other, It's Here Now (Are You?) is an odyssey that will inspire seekers of any age on their own road to fulfillment.

Book Description
Translated from the original Sanskrit by Dr. H. Ramamoorthy and Nome This translation is an essential and classic work of Advaita Vedanta. It is a consummate work of the spirit, an astonishing description of direct Nondual experience and understanding. H.H. Sri Chandrasekharendra Sarasvati, a Sankaracharya of the Kamakoti Peetham, has stated in glowing terms that the "Ribhu Gita" is to the Sivarahasya as the "Bhagavad Gita" is to the Mahabharata. First-hand descriptions of the experience of Nonduality are precious and rare. None is more powerful than this classic. Its uncompromising declaration communicates the uninterrupted direct experience of the Sage known as Ribhu. The language is accessible, forceful -- and points clearly beyond the limits of time and circumstance. The Indian cultural frame, traditional dialog between Guru and disciple, is subsumed into the directly penetrating insight that is absolute, beyond any concept. In this second edition, footnotes have been added presenting alternative meanings to the word or phrase immediately preceding the footnote number or show the Sanskrit word in transliterated form that has been translated into English. This second edition also contains an enhanced glossary from the original first edition. In addition, The 108 Names of Ribhu, in Sanskrit and English, is included in this new edition. May we all recognize in this text the freedom and happiness of the Absolute, our True Nature, as reflected in the words of the great Sage Ribhu!
