The Sanskrit word chakra means "wheel" or "circle". These are the energy centers in your subtle or nonphysical body. The chakras are responsible for making sure that energy flows smoothly through your subtle body, and a good flow of energy strengthens your aura.

நான் கேள்விப்பட்டவரை, பகவான் ஸ்ரீ ரமண மகரிஷிகள் மதுரையிலிருந்து திருவண்ணாமலை அடைந்தபின் வேறெந்த ஊருக்கும் தன் பூத உடல் கொண்டு சென்றதில்லை. சூக்ஷ்ம உடல் கொண்டு சென்னை அருகே திருவொற்றியூர் சென்றதையும், அவருக்கே தெரியாது ஏதோ அதிசயம் நடந்தது போலத்தான் சொல்லியிருக்கிறார். அங்கு ரமணர் வந்ததை, அவரது சீடரான கணபதி முனியும் உறுதிப்படுத்திருக்கிறார். அதேபோல அவர் எவருடைய வீட்டிற்கும் தன் இச்சை கொண்டு சென்றதில்லை. ஒரு முறை வலுக்கட்டாயமாக வண்டி ஒன்றில் கொண்டு செல்லப்பட்டதாகச் சொல்லியிருக்கிறார்.

Die Bhagavad Gita ist eines der meist gelesenen Bücher in Indien. Viele Inder tragen sie immer bei sich, um darin zu lesen und die Wahrheit zu verinnerlichen. Sie gilt als eine der wichtigsten Schriften im Yoga und hilft besonders, den Alltag bewusst zu leben und zu spiritualisieren. Wilhelm von Humboldt erhob die Gita zum "Schönsten, das alle uns bekannten Literaturen aufzuweisen haben.“ Seit Jahrhunderten wird sie immer wieder neu interpretiert und ist heute im Westen ein oft kommentierter klassischer Yogatext.

The original "Yoga Secrets of Patanjali" are in themselves exceedingly brief, less than 10 pages in the original ancient texts. Yet, as they are based upon the great, timeless Bhagavad Gita, they contain the essence of all practical wisdom, set forth in admirable order and great detail. This timeless theme brings forth a palpable spiritual regeneration, the rebirth of the spiritual from the psychical: the same sacred theme which the realized yogis of India so wisely and eloquently set forth over 5,000 years ago.

If you are an avid reader or a yoga enthusiast, you would have often come across a picture that shows a silhouette of a torso with rainbow-like colorful lights all around it. The silhouette looks quite amusing to look at but doesn’t really tell you what chakras are all about. In the field of alternative medicine, the term chakra pops up every now and then leaving you confused with what it actually is! The complicated articles do not help in addressing your query either.

The Vedas are often regarded as ceremonial writings. Both ritual and sacrifice play an essential role in this. Vedic religion is first and foremost a liturgy, and only secondly a mythical or philosophical system; we must therefore analyze it as a liturgy. This book introduces the reader to the various Vedic ceremonies, including many that are still practiced today in India.

Kumarasambhava, Kalidasa's second epic poem, is often regarded as his finest work and a defining example of kavya poetry. The style it used to express spring would go on to dominate nature metaphors in Indian literature for ages to come. This work translates select cantos from the original poem that narrates and celebrates the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, the birth of their son Kumara or Kartikeya, and concludes with the slaying of Taraka.

Moon represents our mind, with all its fluctuations and tides. As the Moon changes its phases and passes through lunar mansions, it takes us on this journey with itself. Every New Moon and every Full Moon reveal us what we can learn from the present moment.

Have you heard about chakras but aren't sure what they are and how they can improve your life? The fact is that chakras are energy points located throughout the body. When one of the points becomes blocked, energy cannot flow as it is intended to flow. Thus, there are certain actions that you can take to heal the flow and make sure that the chakra is cleared. This book assumes that you are a beginner. It explores where the chakras are located and what each one of them does to your sense of well-being.

There is no doubt in my mind that Faqir Chand is one of the most important shabd yoga masters in history and that his frank confessions of “unknowingness” are of vital importance for those interested in religion and spiritual masters. Faqir reveals what other gurus will not. Here in the MSAC Philosophy Group at Mt. San Antonio College, it is our wish to republish almost all of Faqir Chand's books and pamphlets in English and give them a wider audience.

However she is remembered, revered or written about, Sita continues to exert a powerful influence on the collective Indian psyche. In Search of Sita presents essays, conversations, and commentaries that explore different aspects of her life. 

શ્રીમદ્ ભગવદ્ ગીતા જેને હજારો વર્ષો થી કરોડો લોકો ની સહાયતા કરી છે અને હજી પણ કરે છે, આ એક એવું મહાન ગ્રંથ છે. જેને ભગવાન શ્રી કૃષ્ણએ કુરૂક્ષેત્ર ની ભુમી પર પોતાના મિત્ર તથા ભક્ત અર્જુન ના માધ્યમથી આખા સંસારને ગીતાનો બોધ કરાવ્યો ...

The story of Mohandas Gandhi, one of the world's best-loved and most important promoters of freedom and justice, fascinates every generation. Thrown off a South African train for sitting in a "whites only" compartment, Gandhi resolved to oppose injustice wherever he encountered it. His life of resistance led him to a remarkable philosophy of nonviolence that culminated in the freedom struggle in India.

When you attempt to introduce people to Buddhism, they have this very strange notion that they have to learn a new religion. That makes it complex for people who don't really understand what Buddhism is. Buddhism is a philosophy rather than a religion. That means that regardless of the religion you choose or the God that you worship, Buddhism can be incorporated into the way that you live your life without actually treading on the toes of religion.

Chakras are an energy source in your body, located in seven different areas. These chakras need to be maintained, keeping them in balance, open, and clear of negative energy which can block them. When your chakras are clear and in balance you will also feel balanced in your everyday life. Chakra is an old belief, and it is found in western culture today, as it has traveled all around the world.

It is a popular belief that the Ramayana is idealistic while the Mahabharata is realistic. Yet these two epics have identical building blocks, identical themes and identical history. In this groundbreaking book, Devdutt Pattanaik, India’s most popular mythologist, explores the similarities and dissimilarities between the two epics in a ‘playful analysis’. Whether it is the family structure, forest exile or war, the comparison between the two epics proves a startling point - the Mahabharata is in fact a reaction to the events in the Ramayana.
