Advaita Vedanta-Question of the Real: Inclusive of Kundalini Yoga: Rising to the Thousand-petalled Lotus - Paperback

by Oliver St John (Author)

This book includes an illustrated outline of the lotuses, chakras and bija mantras of Kundalini Yoga. The Advaitan Way of Self-Realisation involves a prolonged and deep enquiry into the nature of the Self-by which is meant the true Self called Atma. While it would be absurd to claim that a small book like this is in any way 'complete' when the subject is vast and was developed fourteen centuries ago from a tradition already at least five thousand years old, it is comprehensive. By this we mean that it gives a reliable introduction to Advaitan Non-dual theory as well as practice that will endure the test of time. It will bring light to the subject for the veriest beginner and will prove at the same time a valuable resource for the practitioner at an intermediate level. It will even assist the advanced yogin that teaches others, if we assume they are qualified to do that, in that it provides a sound basis for instruction.
