En este clásico de la literatura espiritual, Paramahansa Yogananda narra la inspirativa historia de su vida, que incluye los encuentros que mantuvo con numerosos santos y sabios, los diez años de entrenamiento espiritual que recibio en la ermita de un maestro iluminado, y los mas de treinta años en los que vivio en Estados Unidos difundiendo las liberadoras enseñanzas del Kriya Yoga. Esta obra, que es una profunda exposicion de la ciencia y la filosofia Yoga, revela la unidad basica existente entre las grandes religiones de Oriente y Occidente. Se incluye en ella una gran cantidad de material que Paramahansaji agrego despues de la primera edicion aparecida en 1946.

La Bhagavad-gita es un importante texto sagrado hinduista. Se le considera uno de los clásicos religiosos más importantes del mundo. Es parte del texto épico Majabhárata (posiblemente del siglo III a. C.). Consta de 18 capitulos y 700 versos.Su contenido es la conversacion entre Krishna a quien los hinduistas consideran una encarnacion de Visnu (mientras que los Krisnaistas lo consideran el origen de Visnu) y su primo y amigo Arjuna en el campo de batalla en los instantes previos al inicio de la guerra de Kurukshetra. Respondiendo a la confusion y el dilema moral de Arjuna, Krishna explica a este sus deberes como guerrero y principe, haciendolo con ejemplos y analogias de doctrinas yoguicas y vedanticas. Esto ha hecho que el Bhagavad-gita sea considerado un resumen breve de las doctrinas hinduistas.Durante su discurso, Krishna revela su identidad como el mismisimo Dios (suaiam Bhagavan), bendiciendo a Arjuna con una impresionante vision de su divina forma universal.

In Edwin Arnolds Bhagavad Gita, the timeless classic of Indian philosophy and spirituality, readers are taken on a journey through the teachings of Lord Krishna to the warrior Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Arnolds poetic translation captures the essence of the ancient text, conveying its messages of duty, righteousness, and self-realization in a way that resonates with modern readers. The literary style of the book is both lyrical and profound, making it a compelling read for those interested in Eastern philosophy and spiritual teachings. Set in the context of the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita explores timeless themes of ethics, morality, and the nature of reality. Arnolds interpretation brings out the philosophical depth and practical wisdom of the original text, making it accessible to a wide audience.

El Devi-Mahatmya o El canto de la Diosa Suprema es un texto sumamente importante dentro de la civilización india. Ha formado parte de su diversidad cultural y su tradición filosófica-religiosa durante los ultimos 1.500 años. La historia canta la magnanimidad y majestuosidad de Devi, la Diosa Suprema, que constituye la realidad transcendental del cosmos, formada por el principio femenino.El texto narra la lucha de Devi contra los grandes demonios, que representan las diversas manifestaciones del mal. A traves de sus himnos y mitos, el poema plantea cuestiones existenciales que han estado presentes en la historia de la humanidad desde tiempos ancestrales: metaforas relacionadas con nuestro propio mundo fisico, emocional y espiritual, derivadas de las situaciones a las que continuamente nos enfrentamos. El enigmatico y magico poder de existir y fluir se entreteje con esta majestuosidad cosmica y sublime, la de Devi y su poder infinito.

Mouni Sadhu fue discípulo de Ramana Maharshi en la India y escribió En días de Gran Paz con el propósito de relatar lo que otros libros no cuentan: las experiencias reales de un hombre corriente, que quiso saber por si mismo lo que significa la presencia de un gran sabio, y cual es su influencia. (...)Todas las teorias, todo conocimiento adquirido, caen como polvo cuando uno se encuentra cara a cara con un hombre perfecto.Se vuelven tan superficiales como el complicado traje occidental, con su collariny corbata, en el despiadado calor de esta parte de la India.(...). Mouni Sadhu, nacido en 1897 en Varsovia, era el seudonimo de Mieczyslaw Demetriusz Sudowski y poco sabemos de los primeros años de su vida.Mecanico electrico de profesion, entre 1939 y 1945 fue prisionero de guerra en Rusia y en Alemania. Tras ser liberado en 1945, sirvio un año en el ejercito norteamericano en Francia. Posteriormente vivio dos años en Brasil, antes de emigrar a Australia.

El hinduismo es la tradición espiritual viva más antigua del mundo, y la sutil presencia de muchos de sus conceptos, técnicas y saberes en la vida moderna está mucho más extendida de lo que se piensa. Aun asi, en Occidente la cosmovision hindu suele ser malentendida, cuando no directamente ignorada, y no deja de ser paradojico que ese desconocimiento nos impida ver que, en la renovada espiritualidad laica moderna, afloran muchos rasgos esenciales de la tradicion hindu.Naren Herrero nos muestra que ese fenomeno que llamamos hinduismo es una valida concepcion de lo divino y del mundo que ofrece una multiplicidad de caminos para que cada ser humano (sin necesidad de tener sangre india) realice su potencial espiritual, sin excluir la satisfaccion material. Nacido y criado en Occidente, pero educado en el marco de la filosofia espiritual de la India, Naren se podria considerar un "hindu occidental".Con inusual amenidad nos expone verdades filosoficas elevadas (la no violencia, el papel del maestro, la aceptacion de la muerte o la sacralidad de la lengua sanscrita), practicas religiosas (festivales, mantras, rituales, alimentacion) y profundiza en la simbologia tradicional (el politeismo, la diosa, la esvastica, las vacas sagradas, la numerologia). Y sobre todo transmite, en palabras cotidianas y asequibles, pautas para aplicar las enseñanzas atemporales del hinduismo en nuestra vida moderna, con el objetivo de vivirla mas plenamente.

Desde los tiempos inmemoriales, el hombre se ha preguntado si existe algo inmutable y absoluto. Krishnamurti sostiene que para dar respuesta a esa pregunta, es imprescindible la meditación, es decir, la comprension de la realidad, de lo que es y de lo que uno es.Mas alla de las tecnicas, practicas y metodos hasta ahora conocidos La mente en meditacion aporta un enfoque distinto sobre la meditacion, que niega cualquier logro, proposito u objetivo que deba ser alcanzado por medio de la misma. Segun el autor, mientras existe un meditador la meditacion no tiene sentido; si hay un interes, ya sea conseguir paz interior, el silencio de la mente o detener el movimiento del pensamiento, meditar es tan solo es una forma de evasion.

Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic poem which narrates the struggle of the divine prince Rama to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. Along with the Mahabharata, it forms the Hindu Itihasa. The epic, traditionally ascribed to the Hindu sage Valmiki, narrates the life of Rama, the legendary prince of the Kosala Kingdom. It follows his fourteen-year exile to the forest from the kingdom, by his father King Dasharatha, on request of his second wife Kaikeyi. His travels across forests in India with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, the kidnapping of his wife by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, resulting in a war with him, and Ramas eventual return to Ayodhya to be crowned king.

Buddhism and Gautama, the faith and its founder, whose followers are between four and five hundred millions of the human race, were comparatively unknown in Europe but a generation ago, and yet this great faith had continued for four and twenty centuries to spread over the vast lands of the East, taking deep and enduring root in all, from Bhotan, Nepaul, and Ceylon, over Further India to China Proper, Mongolia, Mantchooria, Tibet, and Japan.Buddhism, as it is found in Burmah, has a particular claim to the attention of a diligent and attentive observer. We there have that religious creed or system as pure from adulteration as it can be after a lapse of so many centuries. Philosophy never flourished in Burmah, and, therefore, never modified the religious systems of the country. Hinduism never exercised any influence on the banks of the Irrawaddy. Chinese and Burmese have often met on battlefields, but the influence of the Middle Kingdom has never established itself in Burmah. In other words, Chinese Buddhism has never been able to penetrate into the customs and manners of the people, and has not attempted to communicate its own religion to its southern neighbours. It would seem that the true form of Buddhism is to be found in Burmah, and that a knowledge of that system can only be arrived at by the study of the religious books of Burmah, and by attentively observing the religious practices and ceremonies of the people. This is what Bishop Bigandet has endeavoured to do throughout his work.
