Challenging commentary on the Gospel of St John from an Eastern (Hindu) spiritual perspective. This perspective does seem to offer an insight into the meaning of the role of Christ and in particular Judas which is very helpful and thought-provoking. DQMH 2015.
The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: A New Translation and Guide by Ravi Ravindra by Ravi Ravindra
Some of yoga’s most important writings, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras have remained relevant for 2,300 years because of their wisdom and inspiration. In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali prescribes adherence to eight "limbs" or steps to quiet the mind and achieve the sacred state of kaivalya. Spread throughout are Patanjali’s 196 aphorisms, found in each of the book's four chapters: “Samadhi Pada” (blissful state where the yogi is absorbed into the One), “Sadhana Pada” (practice or show more discipline), “Vibhuti Pada” (power or manifestation), and “Kaivalya Pada” (liberation). In The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, noted scholar and longtime practitioner Ravi Ravindra offers a fresh, direct translation of Patanjali’s text. Ravindra’s enriching, extensive commentary and his spiritual exercises make this book an integral part of daily practice. show less
