Summary: Vasistha's Yoga
Review: After many years of looking for definitive answers to questions I've had most of my life about the why's and how's of the world and my place in the scheme of things; I've finally found everything I need in Vasistha's Yoga. After reading and contemplating this wonderful work, all other books on spirituality seem very superficial and childish. This book is a no-nonsense ego-busting scripture. So much of popular 'spiritual' literature is designed to enslave the mind for the benefit of some individual or cult, that it is an absolute blessing to find a work crafted to assist in the ultimate liberation of the reader.

Summary: Astounding book on advaita
Review: If a person is able to comprehend this book well, then the principle of non-duality can be understood. All other books talk about what is non-duality, this book talks about how is non-duality existing in this apparently dual appearance.
This is the speciality of this book.

Summary: Its Brahman, Brahman O' Rama
Review: is the summary of the message of Sage Vasistha.

For the scientific reader, Vasistha's travels thru time and space may be fascinating. He describes Other Universes and beings that he visited, but states that he lost interest in this after a while when he realized that it is all Brahman.
His thoughts on the quality of food (that it be fat free) and that Cholera is an Organism. These facts from him before 5000 yrs ago is fascinating and demonstrate the knowledge of top down approach.

He describes Pranayama techniques such as the recaka-kumbhaka that can let Humans see celestials.

For the Spiritual, the essence of Ego and its play in Brahman is
explained very clearly. Vasistha says that one must let go of ego 100% for a direct connection with the infinite.

Greatest Book on Earth of All times..

Summary: A treasure of knowledge
Review: Its amazing how contemporary this book feels, despite its age. The translation is elegant and a joy to read. Though the author says, "it's wise to read just one page a day", it is almost impossible to put the book down.

Summary: Vasistha's Yoga
Review: This book is not for everyone. It is written about The Consciousness of the Self, (Brahman) from the awareness of Brahman.
Without the conscious awareness of the Self the intellect will have a difficult time translating the essence of the material, some may find it boring and even intellectual.
From the mind the self cannot be interpreted.
IF you have taken the time to find the reality that underlies all things and have stabilized that experience, Vasisthas' Yoga will help you make the next step to let go of the dream.
Total surrender and the willingness to give up your individuality combined with the wisdom that is given from the Teacher that is "That" as Vasistha has directed Rama in the book through the discipline of one pointed Focus, will help to enliven the "Transcendental State" if it has already been stabilized in Union.
In reality a book is a book and falls far short of giving anyone anything other than just expanding the intellect. This book I find gives one who is ready for more than just knowledge and edge, a tool to crack the door a little more.

Summary: More peace for the soul
Review: This book is peace for the soul, which is ready to accept it's message. It is very simply written, and the stories are very engaging. It is a book that effected me deeply, to my core. It is VERY long, but well worth the read. It was a blessing to have come across it.

In short, it is about a man who became despondent realizing that all pleasures end in pain. He is instructed by a sage, how to liberate oneself from this pain and suffering.

Even if only one or two key concepts are adopted and practiced, remarkable changes are likely to occur, as they have for me.

Summary: The synthesis of all that is good in India's spiritual gift
Review: to the human race!

Without exception, if you are a soul seeking knowledge - beyond words - then this is a book that is pointing in the direction you may want to be looking. But remember they are ONLY words pointing - it is ours to discern where it is they are pointing to and our imperative to not get lost in the words.
