Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: None else could have made a better presentation on the practice side of Hindu religion, with its underlining concepts of Hindu faith, than Dr. Nalini Kanta Brahma. His classic work, Philosophy of Hindu Sadhana, is now being relaunched in the Eastern Economy Edition for the benefit of students, researchers, and all those who have an abiding interest in philosophy and religion. The author stresses those characteristics of Hindu religion that bring out its kinship with the higher religious thoughts of the world so that the reader can discern a common fabric of organic unity of higher religions. The text brings to fore the correlation between theory and practice of different Hindu philosophical systems. Sadhana, the instrument to attain perfection as propounded in Hindu Philosophy—being a means to a better end—has been discussed in the text in its various forms as followed by different religious systems of the Hindus. Part I of the book deals with the function and characteristics of Hindu Sadhana in general. Part II elucidates the specific forms of Hindu Sadhana that includes Karma, the path of prescribed actions, Jnana, the path of higher intellect, and Bhakti, the path of devotional worship. The book also deals with Yoga, the form of Sadhana as propounded by Patanjali. Finally, it emphasizes the importance and value of discipline and devotion that are inherent in the good practice of Hindu religion.

Download or read book Sadhana Guidelines written by Gurucharan Singh Khalsa and published by . This book was released on 2007-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sadhana brings us into an intimate alignment with the reality of who we are: as a creature of the Creator and as a human being. First published in 1974, Kundalini Yoga Sadhana Guidelines has become the best-selling Kundalini Yoga manual of all time. Within these pages, you'll find the inspiration to keep returning breath-by-breath to your Self and to your practice. Sadhana is everything we do on a daily basis as our self-discipline and our commitment to our higher self. It is a spiritual practice in which we confront the tendencies of our mind and ego and, out of love, we invite in the dimensions of our soul, spirit, and intuition. In its essence, it is a process of refinement, development, and mastery. As we learned from eastern traditions, a sadhu is a being who has disciplined himself. Likewise, the definition of a yogi is a person who has totally leaned on the supreme consciousness, which is God. The purpose of sadhana is to arrive at the place where we go beyond our ego and its limitations. Morning sadhana-done before the sunrise-is a special time when we sit before the altar of our own consciousness and have the opportunity to clean up our inner world before we engage in the outer world-our jobs, our families, our responsibilities. This manual exists to serve you and to help you uplift yourself and others. It is designed for both the new and the experienced student. It focuses on the essential practice of Kundalini Yoga. A material that offers lectures, essays, insights, and a series of exercises that one can experience and improve one's own personal practice.
Download or read book Sadhana written by Rabindranath Tagore and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have seen that it was the aspiration of ancient India to live and move and have its joy inBrahma, the all-conscious and all-pervading Spirit, by extending its field of consciousnessover all the world. But that, it may be urged, is an impossible task for man to achieve. If thisextension of consciousness be an outward process, then it is endless; it is like attempting tocross the ocean after ladling out its water. By beginning to try to realise all, one has to endby realising nothing.But, in reality, it is not so absurd as it sounds. Man has every day to solve this problem ofenlarging his region and adjusting his burdens. His burdens are many, too numerous forhim to carry, but he knows that by adopting a system he can lighten the weight of his load.Whenever they feel too complicated and unwieldy, he knows it is because he has not beenable to hit upon the system which would have set everything in place and distributed theweight evenly. This search for system is really a search for unity, for synthesis; it is ourattempt to harmonise the heterogeneous complexity of outward materials by an inneradjustment. In the search we gradually become aware that to find out the One is to possessthe All; that there, indeed, is our last and highest privilege. It is based on the law of thatunity which is, if we only know it, our abiding strength. Its living principle is the power thatis in truth; the truth of that unity which comprehends multiplicity. Facts are many, but thetruth is one. The animal intelligence knows facts, the human mind has power to apprehendtruth. The apple falls from the tree, the rain descends upon the earth-you can go onburdening your memory with such facts and never come to an end. But once you get hold ofthe law of gravitation you can dispense with the necessity of collecting facts ad infinitum.You have got at one truth which governs numberless facts. This discovery of truth is purejoy to man-it is a liberation of his mind. For, a mere fact is like a blind lane, it leads only toitself-it has no beyond. But a truth opens up a whole horizon, it leads us to the infinite.That is the reason why, when a man like Darwin discovers some simple general truth aboutBiology, it does not stop there, but like a lamp shedding its light far beyond the object forwhich it was lighted, it illumines the whole region of human life and thought, transcendingits original purpose. Thus we find that truth, while investing all facts, is not a mereaggregate of facts-it surpasses them on all sides and points to the infinite reality.
