Book Description
When the individual is awakened from the beginning-less sleep of ignorance, he comes to experience the unborn sleepless dreamless non-dual reality that he is. The ocean can become a wave but the wave can never become the ocean. The man can become a husband but the husband can never become a man. The woman can become a wife but the wife cannot become a woman. It is being ocean and becoming waves, it is being man and becoming husband, it is being woman and becoming wife. Similarly, the infinite non-dual unborn uncreated Self can become jiva but jiva cannot become the Self. In the 'Being, ' the becoming is imagined or superimposed just as in the absolute non-dual space, directions are superimposed. Hence they are not real. Therefore, everything associated with the directions as the auspicious or the inauspicious, the feng-shui or the Vaastu shastra are also of the same reality. We are essentially divine and expressing through the limitations of the panchakoshas as if, have become limited. Hence ji"va is not a reality but the absolute Self expressing through the limitations as jiva is the reality. Therefore, Vedanta only awakens to this non-existing illusion of the jiva, from the deep sleep of ignorance to his divine glory. As a tired person is sucked into sleep without efforts, so is the case of a seeker who is no more enchanted by the relative world. Thereafter, he approaches the Strotiya Brahmanishta Guru who in turn awakens him from the beginning-less sleep of ignorance to his pristine glorious Self. Few of the verses contained in this text were given to me by Mrs. Deshpande from Pune which inspired me and few more verses were added to make this text of Vedanta Bhupali a complete guide for the sincere seekers of Truth. These lectures were transcribed and edited in the book form by the collective efforts of the Happy Team.

Everybody sooner or later comes to crossroads where the path of life divides and you must turn one way or another. This book is based on the timeless wisdom of Vedanta, ancient Indian spiritual jewel, that leads you to examine who you are, who God is, and what the world is. In a systematic and down-to-earth manner, Vedanta questions all your taken-for-granted assumptions so that you can see for yourself what has not worked in your life so far. This book starts out with basic facts but it quickly dives deeply in life’s fundamental paradoxes. It is a kind of quick guide for serious students who are keen on exploring those issues as a means of finding solution from suffering and life’s complexities. The ultimate goal is to find the knowledge that frees you from further dependence and feelings of inadequacy and lack. This book is based on traditional Vedanta and it is written by Vedanta students, Paul and Carol Bahder, in the tradition of Swami Dayananda, who is the world’s foremost Vedanta authority. Use of Sanskrit words written in parentheses after English allows the reader to effortlessly learn technical language, if he or she wishes to. It is a Vedanta reference that invites to be visited over and over again.

Book Description
Monas is not a yogi, saint, guru or spiritual teacher, but he is a microphone through which the message of the eternal truth of Universal Consciousness has been transmitted. Monas is the same Universal Consciousness that reveals itself through the main concepts of the most ancient Indian traditions, which date back to 20 centuries before Christ. The Universal Consciousness is the truth of the innermost nature of the cosmos and human consciousness. This guide helps the spiritual seeker to understand and overcome the most common illusions which confuse and distract even the serious seeker from the path to self realization.

Book Description
This booklet contains an explanation of aspects of traditional Vedanta practice in the light of nondual Self-Knowledge and Self-inquiry. The four requisites are: discrimination, detachment, the six essentials, and the desire for Liberation. The six essentials are peacefulness, self-control, renunciation or nondependence, endurance or fortitude, faith or conviction, and profound, concentrated, formless meditation. The original significance of them and the actual experience of them for those on the path of Knowledge are far-reaching. These requisites for Realization are to be understood, meditated upon, and practiced within the context of Nonduality for the purpose of Self-Realization. They can also be practiced, at least to a certain extent, by those who have as yet to ascertain that Nonduality is Truth, that Realization consists of Self-Knowledge, and that the means, which is Self-inquiry, must be in accord with or of the same nature as the end, that is, Self-Realization. Here, an understanding of this on the part of the aspirant is assumed and the four requisites for Realization are taught with special relevance to Self-inquiry, the introspective determination of the true nature of one's own Self, which is the Absolute Self.

Book Description
“Goes through the entire gamut of topics covered by the Vedas, making use of yoga, detachment, the ego, karma, dharma, love, meditation and much more.” —East and West Magazine This complete guide to enlightenment presents the wisdom of the ancient science of self-inquiry, a time-tested means for achieving spiritual freedom. The author discusses the purpose of self-inquiry, the quest for lasting happiness, issues of identity and transcendence, the role of wisdom and action, and the subconscious obstacles to freedom. He convincingly refutes the popular view that enlightenment is a unique state of consciousness and debunks a host of other enlightenment myths. In his straightforward style he reveals proven methods for purifying the mind, and includes chapters on love, the science of energy transformation and meditation. He takes the reader from the beginning to the end of the spiritual path, patiently unfolding the logic of self-inquiry. “Vedanta is the original systemized enlightenment teaching, and James does an extraordinary job of extracting the essential nectar of the teachings from its dusty, ancient, Sanskrit origins and elucidating it with utmost clarity. One review cannot do this teaching, with its rich history and depth, even a modicum of justice. James’s book is the best introduction there is to this subject.” —Consciousness Junkie “Explains methods of Vedanta in his survey of spiritual techniques, pairing theory with practice and explaining the myths and realities behind an enlightened state. From reflections on moving to a larger living space and clutter to assimilating experiences, How to Attain Enlightenment is a powerful survey any new age library needs.” —The Bookwatch

Book Description
Aparokṣānubhūti belongs to the series of works by Ṡaṅkara known as prakaraṇagrantha, i.e., "specific treatises" in verse and prose concerning basic points of Vedānta teaching that examine the "great sentences" (mahāvākyas) contained in the Upaniṣads. In this series of treatises by Ṡaṅkara, other works fundamental for the understanding of the Advaitavāda or "path of Non-duality" include Vivekacūḍāmani, Ātmabodha, Upadeśasahāsrī and Laghuvākyavṛtti.Aparokṣānubhūti means "direct perception or knowledge of the Self" and by extension the action or practice actualized to realize oneself as ātman-Self, and therefore "Self-realization."Realize means to "translate into reality." This implies a bringing into actuality that which is virtual, a manifesting something that already exists.One who wants to find the "fullness" and the "beatitude" of Being must simply rediscover himself, must capture his own true and profound nature and ardently realize it. This does not mean "rejecting" life, "opposing" the sphere of perishable things or "abandoning" the world; rather, it means comprehending what one is and resolving what one is not. "Tat tvam asi: That thou art," to which Śaṅkara refers in his sūtras, is the mahāvākya that corresponds to the highest possible attainment and that Advaita Vedānta propounds for those individuals who are in conflict because their true nature has been "forgotten."To achieve this Comprehension-realization, Aparokṣānubhūti presents fifteen steps or means (some of which are also found in the Yogadarśana or Rajayoga of Patañjali) focusing especially on vicāra-discrimination or discernment. Vicāra is a method of philosophical inquiry, a process of pure searching for the universals. Unlike what one may think, it is an "experimental" method and not a mental process for constructing a theory of knowledge or of reality. In fact, it leads to the direct experience of Reality.Aparokṣānubhūti is based on jñāna Realization (Knowledge). Because it promotes the right consciential position for those who want to walk the "Path of Knowledge," the text of Śaṅkara's Preface to the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad has been included in the Appendix.The translation and commentary by Raphael adhere to the Advaita Tradition and offer a conceptual methodology appropriate to the Western mind; moreover, they adequately and properly stimulate the reader's consciousness toward living a real metaphysical life.As for Ṡaṅkara (788-820), it can be said that his philosophical and spiritual greatness is recognized by all scholars of Eastern and Western philosophy. According to some, he is "the architect of one of the highest realizations of the human Spirit."The book includes a transliterated Sanskrit text and a Glossary.
