Devi’s Grace is a book about the entry of Maa Mookambika Devi into Swamiji’s (Late Shri Vishnu Sadanand Nayak) life and His remarkable metamorphosis from family man to swami. Although Swamiji was known (to His devotees) as a reluctant Swami, His love and belief in Devi was unquestionable!

ATMA – SIDDHI

designing — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 06:28:37 +0000

Atma Siddhi (In Search of the Soul) is a 142, verse philosophical poem, a dialogue between the master and the pupil, on the subject of the soul and its journey through this world of material manifestations. Written in lyrical and lucid Gujarati, by the great Jain saint, Srimad Rajchandraji, it is as relevant today, as when it was first written more than a hundred years ago. A contemporary of Gandhiji, Srimadji was considered by the Mahatma to be his spiritual mentor. Attaining enlightenment at an unbelievably young age of 32 years, Srimadji, remains, even today, one of those iconic spiritual teachers, who balanced, with ease and grace, the life of a householder with that of a sage.
The book focuses on the relationship between the guru and his disciple, the qualities that earmark a true guru as also the qualities of a genuine pupil. Our translation of this outstanding work, not only gives the reader the verses in Hindi and English but also explains the essence of each verse. Each verse is further highlighted with the help of a story drawn from eclectic origins, as varied as Buddhist and Sufi, Christian and Zen.

The book, thus, is an interpretation that underscores the validity of Srimadji’s work, for young and old, the spiritually and not so spiritually inclined, in a manner that is interesting as well as insightful.

BHAJA GOVINDAM

Adi Sankaracharya’s Bhaja Govindam is a little collection of thirty-one verses in Sanskrit by the saint and scholar Adi Sankaracharya and his disciples. Also known as Moha Mudgara or The End of Illusion, the verses look at the eternal question of man’s quest for happiness in a world that is transient and filled with delusions. Sankara in clear and lucid language, (probably the simplest Sanskrit text available) speaks of man’s weaknesses – lust, anger, greed and attachment – and the steps needed to overcome them. Our present translation includes stories from the vast repertoire of wisdom literature across a wide spectrum of spiritual traditions. It also contains an exhaustive biography of Adi Sankara himself, his contribution to Hinduism and a chapter on the relevance of Bhaja Govindam today.
