$75.00
In India, philosophical and religious systems of sevens abound, as they do in other religious traditions of the world as well. In this dharma art wisdom chart, several of these systems — including Kundalini’s Seven Chakras system — are put side by side so that easy comparison can be made, facilitating greater understanding and knowledge around each. The five sheaths are also conveniently included, giving them more of a depth of meaning than they usually receive by aligning them cosmologically with the lokas and akashas, and not just with bodies and coverings.

The Sacred Doctrine of Conjunctions #149
Connections are precious, especially in a world whose living beings leave so much of existence in a disconnected state. In ancient India, the seers of Truth looked to see clearly, via introspection and meditation, then moved to make connections of all and sundry around them and within them. Aspects of nature, matters involving acts and deeds, and mainly, thoughts that seemed random and meaningless —all were brought together into satisfying union. This wisdom chart shows some of the main conjunctions that were important to the rishis, and which today will bring deeper meaning to life in the world as well.
The Mighty River of Brahman #185
In the view of the ancient Indian rishis, the look at, or perspective on, the Absolute Reality, called Brahman, was all-inclusive. Beyond form, transcending time and space, indivisible and all-pervasive, free of all attributes — this was Divine Reality. But they also left room for Brahman inside of the worlds of name and form, or Brahman with attributes. In this wisdom chart, Brahman is compared to a mighty river with all its features, characteristics, and movements— many of them containing all the risks and dangers that relativity and life here on earth is known for. In the words of Sri Ramakrishna, God must contain the full weight of the fruit, i.e., not just the flesh which undoubtedly is the Essence, but also the skin, seeds, pit, and core of the fruit as well.
7 Stages of Spiritual Progress in 7 Systems #151
The recurring philosophical phenomena of 7-fold systems of knowledge in India makes for an interesting study for the avid spiritual aspirant. In this dharma art wisdom chart these helpful looks at gradated wisdom are placed side by side for easy study and comparison, offering up clues for the deeper understanding of stages of progress along the spiritual path.
The Three Classes of Beings According to Tantra #127
In an illumined designation reminiscent of Sri Krishna’s Bhagavad Gita teachings on the effects of the three Gunas on different classes of beings, Tantra proffers this helpful list in order to allow discerning spiritual aspirants an understanding of human nature and temperament. Though given as a guide that pertains to people who are already on the path, or who are devotees, this threefold division nevertheless applies to worldly
beings as well. The animalistic, the heroic, and the divine — if mankind were to be examined under this triple lens, it would become clear how people fall into the scheme of evolution and involution, both physically and spiritually.
