The Six Esoteric Yogic Gateways #24
$75.00
Is Yoga scientific? This esoteric teaching of the dharma answers that question in full, taking the principle of vibrating particles and melding them ingeniously with objects, space, time, and cause and effect, to render a system for comprehension and meditation that will lift the human mind and soul out of a merely physical perspective and place it in possession of its own pristine Consciousness once again.

Some Obstacles & Solutions in Spiritual Life #186
In a chart of purely yogic proportions, which focuses in on one of Patanjali’s main themes — that of vrittis, or mental vibrations — both obstacles and their solutions stand side by side for close scrutiny and forthcoming benefit. As a fitting accompaniment, the lower half of the chart gives out powerful teachings that will aid the sadhaka on a grander and less specific level, getting to the mind’s tendency of “attraction to distraction,” as is often quipped in the tradition. This wisdom chart is a seeker’s dream, to be displayed prominently and studied daily until complete success over the wavering mind is attained.

The Process of Samprajnata to Asamprajnata Samadhi #88
It could be said that the four kinds of samadhis (along with their nirvitarka and nirvichara subdivisions) are like postures for the mind, like asanas for intelligence. The purpose for engaging in physical postures and breathing exercises all along the early trajectory of yogic practice was only to help prepare the way for these higher positions of Awareness. It has been stated by certain luminaries that spiritual life does not really even begin until the seeded samadhis are gained by way of direct experience; everything previous to this highest attainment only signified various types of purification. If this is true, then seeded samadhis can be viewed as similar preparation and purification for Ultimate Samadhi — of which there is only one, of unseeded nature

The Two Yogas of the Matri Avatar #141
The advent of Sri Sarada Devi on the earth signals the visitation the most rare of beings — a manifestation of the Goddess. The Goddess, in this case, means The Divine Mother of the Universe has taken a birth in human form so as to help all beings with their respective aims and goals. Some She will assist in fulfilling their desires; others She will release from the ocean of suffering (samsara sagara); still others She will grant liberation from the cycle of birth and death completely. There is no end to the possibilities once She is recognized by the embodied soul, and taken as the Supreme Refuge in life. As She lived Her life in the mid 1800’s and on into the early 1900’s, Holy Mother, as She is now addressed by millions, had Her own unique style of bringing about Her subtle miracles for the highest good of mankind. Though extremely versatile in Her abilities and application, two special Yogas characterized Her effective work and teachings throughout Her life in the body. This dharma chart shows the dynamics of each of them. By studying and applying them, living beings can not only make inner contact with Her, but can also free themselves from root ignorance and take their places among the realized souls of this world.

Five States of the Mind-Field in Yoga #210
Lord Patanjali, revered by all of India and around the world, has given this prime teaching in the Yoga sutras. It is a directive that can help everyone, whether they believe in God or not, and whatever their religious preference may be. To know, and then study the five states of the mind, is tantamount to coming to know the mind, thus beginning to turn it into a friend rather than an enemy. With lethargy and restlessness done away with by yogic practices, the real point of life and living can then take up all of our time — as we learn to fully identify with our true Self and live in harmony with all other beings.
