BOOKS FOR SPIRITUAL SEEKERS

*Amazon Book overview*

Almost all of these essays on Savitri were first published as monthly instalments in the e-journal Next Future. Dr Nadkarni s approach has been to acclimatise the reader to the experience of reading Savitri by introducing, canto by canto through each book, selected passages that mark important milestones in the poem. His presentation combines an appreciation of the beauty and mantric power of Sri Aurobindo s poetry, a discourse that highlights the departures made by Sri Aurobindo from the tale recounted by Vyasa in the Mahabharata in order to emphasise the story s deeper symbolic meaning, and an exploration of some of the themes running through the poem that are central to Sri Aurobindo s vision and teachings. The last two essays are transcripts of talks that summarise Books XI and XII and give a succinct overview of the entire poem.

Grateful thanks to Amazon.

BOOKS FOR SPIRITUAL SEEKERS

There are various ways to attain realization and these methods have “the generic name of Yoga. These yogas though divided into various _ groups, can principally be classified into four (Bhakti Yoga; Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga, Raja Yoga) and as each is only a method leading _ _ indirectly to the realization of the absolute, they are suited to different temperaments.

RAJA YOGA: The chief parts are the Pranayama, concentration, and meditation. For those who believe in God, a symbolical name, such as Om or other sacred words received from a Guru, will be very helpful.

BHAKTI YOGA: Bhakti or worship or love in some form or other is the easiest, pleasantest, and most natural way of man.

JNANA YOGA: This is divided into three parts, First: hearing the truth — that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is Maya (relativity). Second: reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third: giving up all further argumentation and realising the truth.

KARMA YOGA: Karma Yoga is purifying the mind by means of work, Now if any work is done, good or bad, it must produce as a result a good or bad effect.
