DESCRIPTION:
Take charge of your thoughts and reshape your life through meditation. Feeling trapped by unwanted thoughts and emotions can seem an inevitable part of life. But Easwaran, who taught meditation for nearly forty years, shows a way to break free. Just as a fitness routine can create a strong, supple body, spiritual disciplines can shape a secure personality and a resilient, loving mind. Writing as an experienced, friendly coach, Easwaran explains how we can train the mind not just during meditation but throughout the day. Working with difficult colleagues, choosing what to eat and listening to a child's needs are all opportunities to try out different, wiser responses. To shed light on the thinking process, Easwaran takes the timeless teachings of the Buddha and other mystics and illustrates them with scenes from contemporary life. He offers practical exercises for taking charge of our thoughts, along with instruction in his own method of passage meditation. Easwaran shows how training the mind is a glorious challenge - one that brings joy and purpose to life.

DESCRIPTION:
The Buddha call to Nirvana Eknath Easwaran, translator of the best-selling edition of the Dhammapada, sees this powerful scripture as a perfect map for the spiritual journey. Said to be the text closest to the Buddha actual words, it is a collection of short teachings memorized during his lifetime by his disciples. Easwaran presents the Dhammapada as a guide to spiritual perseverance, progress and ultimately enlightenment – a heroic confrontation with life as it really is, with straight answers to our deepest questions. We witness the heartbreak of death, for instance – what does that mean for us? What is love? How does karma work? How do we follow the spiritual life in the midst of work and family? Does Nirvana really exist and if so, what is it like to be illumined? In his interpretation of Buddhist themes, illustrated with stories from the Buddha life, Easwaran offers a view of the concept of right understanding that is both exhilarating and instructive. He shares his experiences on the spiritual path, giving the advice that only an experienced teacher and practitioner can offer and urges us to answer for ourselves the Buddha call to Nirvana – that mysterious, enduring state of wisdom, joy and peace. Eknath Easwaran was Professor of English literature at the University of Nagpur, India and an established writer, when he came to the United States on the fulbright exchange program in 1959. As founder and director of the Blue mountain center of meditation and the Nilgiris press, he taught the classics of world mysticism and the practice of meditation from 1960 till his death in 1999.

DESCRIPTION:
The book The Upanishads is an translation of the old age Hindu religious texts and is meant for anyone exploring consciousness and spirituality. Thousands of years ago, Indian sages found the answers for some of the eternal questions of human mind, which they have passed on to the future generations through the books of Upanishads. Upanishads are guides for human beings and are said to have answers to all the questions that people have pertaining to the realization of one's own self. These books still have relevance to the modern world.
The author in this book has extracted some of the important concepts from the Upanishads and has made an attempt to introduce the readers to some spiritual aspects such as consciousness, self, death, knowledge, wisdom and joy in a detailed manner. The author's explanation of the concepts in his own language of wisdom and the way he connects the texts to the world of today's advanced science and technology make the book a lucid, relevant read. Though the original text of Upanishads are voluminous with complicated language, the author has tried to condense and simplify the major teachings of the book and has presented them in a readable manner.
The author Eknath Easwaran has successfully managed to present the discoveries of the sages of the Upanishads in a concise style in his book. This first edition of the book was published by Jaico Publishing House in 2009. It is available in paperback.
Key Features:
This book has been a bestseller continuously in the Religions and Hinduism category.

DESCRIPTION:
Every moment is precious. There is so little time, not a day to waste on quarreling with those we love, no time for anything that robs our lives of joy, hope and meaning. Dialogue with Death is not a book on death and dying. It is a book about life and living: what life is for, who we are as human beings, why we are here. Yet it is death that forces these questions on us. If we could live forever, there would be little urgency in finding answers. But the fact is that whatever our age or the status of our health, none of us has time to waste in learning what life is for. We begin to take life seriously when we take death seriously. Otherwise, as Thoreau said, we run the risk of discovering, when we come to die, that we have never lived. This is not a negative observation. It is completely positive, for it brings life into focus. Fulfilling the purpose of life becomes our overriding priority and that brings joy, hope, love and meaning to us and to those around us. Let this book be your guide.

DESCRIPTION:
The Bhagavad Gita is the most famous poem in all of Hindu literature and part of the Mahabharata, the ancient Indian epic masterpiece. The Gita (in Sanskrit, "Song of the Lord") consists of a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Prince Arjuna on the morning of a climactic battle. Krishna provides Arjuna with the spiritual means to understand his own nature so that he can take action and prevail. However, the larger canvas painted in the poem is that of the moral universe of Hinduism. As translator Eknath Easwaran, one of the world's premier teachers of meditation and spirituality, notes "The Gita does not present a system of philosophy. It offers something to every seeker after God, of whatever temperament, by whatever path. The reason for this universal appeal is that it is basically practical: it is a handbook for self-realization and a guide to action."

DESCRIPTION:
A Contemporary Guide to Yoga, meditation and Indian philosophy. The Bhagavad Gita is India's best-known scripture -a dialogue between a warrior-prince named Arjuna and his charioteer and spiritual guide, Sri Krishna. For Easwaran, a foremost translator of the Gita, who taught classes on it for over 40 years, the Gita's epic battle represents the war in our own hearts and Arjuna's anguish reflects the human condition: torn between opposing forces, confused about how to live. Sri Krishna's timeless guidance, Easwaran argues, can shed light on our dilemmas today. Placing the Gita's teachings in a modern context, Easwaran explores the nature of reality, the illusion of separateness, the search for identity, the meaning of yoga and how to heal the unconscious. This book is his distillation of the Gita's teachings from the end of his life, based on talks given to his close students and published here for the first time. Easwaran shows how, through the principles of yoga and the practice of meditation, the Gita can point a way forward for us, both as individuals and in society today.

DESCRIPTION:
The thousand names of Vishnu reiterate a single message: the Lord is everything, everywhere. His names evoke the qualities that elevate our lives: forgiveness, beauty, tenderness, compassion and love.
Every religion in the world worships their God with a different name. Words like ‘Holy, Merciful, Compassionate, Truth and the One’ appear in all these religions, emphasizing that however we worship, the Lord is one and the same.
In India, one of the most popular litanies is the thousand names of Vishnu. He is worshipped by millions in his incarnations as Rama and Krishna. Eknath Easwaran comments on a fraction of these names and what each one means in our daily lives. This is a book for daily inspiration, full of personal reminders of what it means to see God in the faces and events of everyday life.

DESCRIPTION:
After Valmiki, the illustrious sage, learned all about the life of Lord Rama, he went to the river to bathe. Close to the river were two large and pretty birds sweetly singing and playing together. A vicious hunter, who was plotting evil, shot an arrow which struck the male bird. Upon seeing her partner trembling on the ground, his body covered in blood, the hen cried out in great distress for her beloved’s life. As Valmiki witnessed this ruthless hunter strike down the male bird, he became sad and thought to himself, “This was not dharma to kill a sweetly singing bird for no reason at all.” As he listened to the hen pour her heart out, he said to the hunter: After what you have done to this bird, peace will be no more than a word. Then Valmiki realized that he had unintentionally created a work of poetry and he named the metre shloka because it was spoken in shoka (sadness). And thus he began penning one of the greatest texts on dharma the world has ever seen.

Being Patient and Finding Success
THE RAMAYANA IS NOT A STORY.
IT IS A WAY OF LIFE.
IT IS THE GAME OF LIFE.
How one expands one’s scope of action with confidence and calm under extremely challenging circumstances is what separates the extraordinary from the ordinary, just like Hanuman did. His selfless determination to stay the course with steadfast focus and faith to accomplish his mission makes him a worthy and inspiring protagonist. Here are some invaluable lessons from his life on overcoming obstacles:
Be confident. With unwavering faith in himself, Hanuman jumped across the ocean to find Sita in an unfamiliar land.
Say no to distractions. Absolute focus helped him prioritize his course of action.
Know your rivals. Competing with Surasa would be futile, so he realized that it was wiser to take on a humbler approach.
Are you confident and fearless enough to achieve your goals?
RADIATE CONFIDENCE is the fifth book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series. A modern retelling of the Sundara Kanda of Valmiki’s epic, this book highlights Hanuman’s devotion and heroics. Replete with lessons on faithfulness, loyalty, self-confidence, self-belief, fearlessness and all the attributes that help counter challenges and find success, the author, Shubha Vilas, illuminates the path to success.

DESCRIPTION:
The Ramayana is not a story. It’s a way of life. It’s the game of life.
Life is a constant reminder that nothing, however powerful in one season, remains unchanging. The endless cycles of change can truly us if we are unprepared to face its realities. However, we often see these changing times as problems larger than they really are. Many issues in life when perceived with fear, result in pain; but when perceived with CLARITY, result is FREEDOM.
Situations of helplessness are almost always created by our own limited imagination.
Do you have the courage to face your fears?
Stand Strong, the fourth book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series reminds us through its eternal stories -- such as the tale of brothers Vali and Sugriva -- that life is like a high-risk treasure hunt: one often has to walk through a maze of confusing paths while being chased by dangerously complex dilemmas to find the hidden treasure of wisdom.

DESCRIPTION:
The Ramayana is not a story. It is a way of life. It is the game of life.
Feeling frustrated over events that are out of our control is a waste of energy and time. Rama and his army survived the grim years of exile by being patient and persistent, trusting each other with their lives. The characters’ determination reflects our own set of values and judgment during challenging situations.
This book teaches us that we need to be righteous to stay on course. Cheating for personal gain will not ensure our triumph. Instead, unwavering loyalty to our principles will do so. It reiterates that challenging situations will be present anywhere and everywhere we go. It is how we handle those situations that define us as a person. It teaches us to remain calm in the face of adversity.
Do you have the patience to stick with your goals till the end?
Adopt Patience, is the third book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series. A modern retelling of the Aranya Kanda of Valmiki’s epic, this volume explores the dynamics of the complex games of power and greed, mirroring our own dilemmas in the modern world and prompts us to overcome them using the wisdom spilled over these pages.
