Sri Saundarya Lahari (The Descent)
The original Sanskrit text by Adi Sankaracharya has been translated and explained in a lucid and eloquent style, which brings the reader into the living presence of the Goddess. The 103 mantras of this text are presented here as meditations and visualizations of Sri Devi, the root matrix of creation, depicting her divine form as a path of highest sadhana and realization.

The text deals with the essence of tantric philosophy and sadhana, elucidating the esoteric traditions of Sri Vidya, the Dasa Mahavidyas, kulakundalini, chakras and tattwas, and their usage to bridge the gap between the outer and inner experience. Sri Saundarya Lahari, the Descent, an exposition on the feminine divine, is substantiated and enhanced by the personal experience and in-depth study of the author. Also included are a comprehensive introduction, Prayoga (uses of the mantras, yantras and especially the mandalas contained in the text), transliteration and index.

Samarpan – Living the Divine Connection
Samarpan is the culmination of all spiritual sadhanas and the ultimate point of human evolution. It is a process of unconditional self-surrender in which the limited individual ego is transformed, over thousands of lifetimes, into an instrument of the divine will.

This book illumines every aspect of samarpan and is a reminder of the grand purpose of human life.        
From the teachings of Swami Sivananda Saraswati and Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Samkhya Darshan
Samkhya is one of the earliest schools of Indian philosophy and most systems, including Yoga, have been drawn from or influenced by it. Samkhya is a dualistic philosophy and postulates to eternal realities: Purusha, the witnessing consciousness, and Prakriti, the root cause of creation, composed of the three gunas.

This text highlights the unique contribution of Samkhya philosophy in man’s quest to understand his true nature. It discusses the practical theories of causation, manifestation, bondage and liberation. For the spiritual aspirant, Samkhya is the metaphysics of self-realisation and Yoga is the sadhana or means to achieve it.

Samkhya Darshan contains the full Sanskrit text of Ishvara Krishna’s Samkhya Karika as well as transliteration and translation.
