Описание:
The recitation of scriptural texts is called 'svādhyāya' (sva-adhyāya) and its meaning is multiple: Literally it means 'self-reading' or 'self-study', but a better dictionary translation would be 'reciting or repeating or rehearsing to oneself'. In practice, the meaning boils down to 'recitation of sacred texts', sometimes very long scriptures.
But why is this so important? First of all, the scriptures being recited are exclusively the Tantric ones which are very sacred and dear to us. Secondly, the practice of svādhyāya is a Yoga in itself because when you are doing it you have to be extremely concentrated on the text being chanted while keeping a comfortable/healthy posture of the body. This increases your concentration skills enormously, which will be very useful during your meditations. Besides, the body is disciplined by means of the practice of a comfortable/healthy cross-legged pose with one hand on your knee and the other keeping the book in front of you, and of course, with your spinal column fully straight.
It is very traditional to practice a combo of things successively: (1) Haṭhayoga, (2) svādhyāya and finally (3) meditation. This three-hours combo (one hour of Haṭhayoga, one hour of chanting and one hour of meditation) is recommended. If you try to meditate only, then you will be more time dealing with your restless mind and so on. But if you practice Haṭhayoga for one hour plus chanting for another hour, your meditation will be like a rocket to the moon. Of course, not all students have three free hours every day to do this, and then they should be practical and adapt their practices to their lives. Anyway, the abovementioned combo is highly recommended by me in order to make fast solid progress in Parabhairavayoga.
And because the 'time' thing is a problem for students everywhere, they should be practical always. For example, if they want to chant one hour every day but they have only half an hour in the morning and, say, half an hour during the afternoon, they are permitted to split the recitation. The important thing is that at the end of the day they can attain their one hour goal. So, the recommended period of time for practicing svādhyāya is one hour every day, but the minimum is half an hour. Less than this and the practice is not delivering the results you want.
While you do svādhyāya, your attention is solely concentrated on the text, stopping any mental distraction. You will notice that if you are hardly distracted at that time, you will have problems to return to the exact point you left before. All in all, the practice of svādhyāya forces you to be completely onepointed. With onepointedness comes success in Parabhairavayoga indeed.

Описание: The Ocean of Mirth brings together an English translation and an analytical interpretation of a singularly crucial, but obscure, Sanskrit mediaeval text, the Hasyarnava-Prahasanam of Jagadesvara Bhattacharya. The volume will be a major intervention in the discovery of a significant non-canonical text of classical literature.
Описание: This book includes 58 selected articles that highlight the major contributions of Professor Radha Charan Gupta—a doyen of history of mathematics—written on a variety of important topics pertaining to mathematics and astronomy in India. It is divided into ten parts. Part I presents three articles offering an overview of Professor Gupta’s oeuvre. The four articles in Part II convey the importance of studies in the history of mathematics. Parts III–VII constituting 33 articles, feature a number of articles on a variety of topics, such as geometry, trigonometry, algebra, combinatorics and spherical trigonometry, which not only reveal the breadth and depth of Professor Gupta’s work, but also highlight his deep commitment to the promotion of studies in the history of mathematics. The ten articles of part VIII, present interesting bibliographical sketches of a few veteran historians of mathematics and astronomy in India. Part IX examines the dissemination of mathematical knowledge across different civilisations. The last part presents an up-to-date bibliography of Gupta’s work. It also includes a tribute to him in Sanskrit composed in eight verses.

Описание: This wide-ranging and powerful book argues that Theravada Buddhism provides ways of thinking about the self that can reinvigorate the humanities and offer broader insights into how to learn and how to act.
The enchanting verses that comprise our newest publication, Festival of Devotion & Praise were born on Kashmir Valley's picturesque Dal Lake as an inspirational outpouring of devotion from the heart of the medieval Kashmiri spiritual master and mystic Utpaladeva. These hymns are so profound they have the power to free the devoted reader from the restrictions of their intellect and instantaneously elevate them to the experience of oneness with the very nature of their own divine consciousness. When commenting on this text Swami Lakshmanjoo would tell his devotees that, as Utpaladeva continually teaches us through these beautiful hymns, "devotion, or passion for God consciousness is everything". The reader will personally witness this for themselves when they experience Swami Lakshmanjoo's narrative as he, himself, becomes filled with emotion and longing for God.
