Meditation routines, Ayurvedic lifestyle recommendations, and commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are included in this work to encourage Self-realization and inner tranquility. Skillful meditation, healthy living, and realization of our Eternal Self are the practices of Kriya Yoga, and it is through our own consistent practice of Patanjali's methods that the lineage of enlightenment continues.

Karma Yoga (the yoga of action) is a book of lectures by Swami Vivekananda, as transcribed by Joseph Josiah Goodwin. It was published in February 1896 in New York City. Swami Vivekananda delivered a number of lectures in his rented rooms at 228 W 39th Street in New York City from December 1895 to January 1896. In 1895, friends and supporters of Swami Vivekananda hired Goodwin, a professional stenographer, who transcribed some of the lectures which were later published as this book. Goodwin later became a follower of Vivekananda.

This magisterial history - sure to become the definitive work on the subject - recasts the Enlightenment as a period not solely consumed with rationale and reason, but rather as a pursuit of practical means to achieve greater human happiness.

Raja Yoga contains transcripts of lectures by Vivekananda on "Raja Yoga", his interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and a "rather free translation" of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras plus Vivekananda's commentaries, which also was a series of talks. It presents Vivekananda's understanding and interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, "and a selection of hathayoga teachings on the basis of the beliefs that he shared with his students." These included elements from traditional Hinduism, but also ideas from Western science.

Zen Master Dogen wrote the Fukanzazengi (Principles of Seated Meditation) in 1227 upon his return to Japan from China. More than just a treatise on the merits of meditation, the Fukanzazengi invites us to go deeper into our own meditation practice and experience the same depth of realization as the great Zen masters of the past. This commentary on this classic 13th century text attempts to make more accessible what Master Dogen calls the “inexpressible heart” of Zen.

Far more than a mere history of the practice of yoga and beyond a study of psychedelic-substance use to aid the pursuit of enlightenment, Who Am I? is a broad, expansive journey told through the eyes of a scholar and researcher - a pilgrim in search of the meaning of life.

Bhakti and Karma Yoga - The Science of Devotion and Liberation Through Action covers the systematic application of the essential principles of desire and devotion to aid us in achieving our goals and spiritual aspirations.

This concise volume provides a survey of the methods of Yoga as they relate to the rise of the non-dual condition of enlightenment, or "Liberation" ("Moksha" in Sanskrit), and practices that can be utilized during the end stage of the journey. It is about the rise of the witness and the evolution to ripeness and relational self-inquiry for permanent realization of the observer being both beyond and in unity with all objects of perception, accompanied by the natural emergence of an unending flow of divine love in the world.

Self-Inquiry provides practical methods for making use of abiding inner silence (the Witness) cultivated in deep meditation, resulting in increased inner stability and happiness amidst the ups and downs of life. The practice of self-inquiry also aids us in realizing the ultimate truth of existence - the oneness that we are and the unity of all that exists. With the dawn of the Witness, we develop an increasing ability to observe our thoughts as objects.
