Book excerpt: Murder at yoga class! Can Martha, Teddy, and Pru discover whodunit? When assistant librarian Pru takes a tough yoga class, she doesn’t think she’ll return. Neither do some of the other class members, including her friends Zoe, and Doris. But afterward, Martha (Pru’s roommate), Teddy, (Martha’s fluffy white Coton de Tulear puppy), and Pru stumble across a dead body – someone connected to the yoga session! To make matters worse, a blast from Pru’s past arrives unexpectedly in Gold Leaf Valley – a person she hoped to never see again. Pru decides to hold her own yoga class, to try and lure some suspects out of hiding. When a second murder occurs, Martha declares it’s a tough case for her Senior Sleuthing Club to crack, but she’s determined (with Pru and Teddy’s help) to nab the killer – or killers! – before it’s too late. This is a fun, clean, dog cozy mystery with female amateur sleuths, hot chocolate drinking – and Teddy, the adorable puppy!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science of Yoga draws on a hidden wealth of science, history, and surprising facts to cut through the fog that surrounds contemporary yoga and to show - for the first time - what is uplifting and beneficial and what is delusional, flaky, and dangerous. At heart, it illuminates the risks and rewards. The book takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of undiscovered yoga that goes from old libraries in Calcutta to the world capitals of medical research, from little-known archives to spotless laboratories, from sweaty yoga classes with master teachers to the cosy offices of yoga healers. In the process, it shatters myths, lays out unexpected benefits, and offers a compelling vision of how to improve the discipline.

Book excerpt: Murder at the garage sale! Can Martha, Teddy, and Pru discover whodunit? When Father Mike holds a big garage sale at the Gold Leaf Valley church, senior sleuth Martha is keen to snap up a table. She has some odds and ends she’d like to sell, and Pru, her roommate, agrees to help. When the three of them arrive at the garage sale, they enjoy greeting their friends and neighbors. Teddy, Martha’s Coton de Tulear puppy, has lots of fun nosing around and meeting up with Annie from the Norwegian Forest Cat cafe. When a man called Victor accuses his neighbor of stealing his blue shepherdess statue, he creates a stir. And when Martha, Teddy, and Pru practically trip over a dead body behind the church, Martha is keen to investigate! Who could be the killer? Was it someone at the garage sale? With so many suspects around, what should Martha, president of the senior sleuthing club, do first? Jesse, the new detective in town, tries to warn them off the case. But Martha is determined to catch the killer – before he – or she – catches them! This is a fun, clean, dog cozy mystery with female amateur sleuths, hot chocolate drinking – and Teddy, the adorable puppy!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to the techniques of astrological interpretation The Art of Interpreting Horoscopes gives, for the first time ever, the definition of a Graha in astrology. Shows how ancient classical dicta can be adapted and applied to contemporary charts to analyse: * Prim-Ministerial Yogas * Neechabhanga Raja Yoga * Adhi Yoga and Celebrity Status * Cases of Crime and Criminals * Crime Investigation * Possibility of Children and IVF * Loss of Children * Marriage from Navamsa Clues * Factors for Love Marriage * Swearing-in charts * Loss of Children India has always been an astrological society but at some point of time in the early part of the 20th century, the educated began to develop a certain distaste for this ancient science, largely because of the educational system in the country which distanced itself from the traditional branches of learning under a mistaken notion that by doing so, it was proving its rational credentials. However astrology being as good a science as any other of the modern ones, has stood the test of time and in recent years has made a resurgent reappearance as a result of my revered father, Father of Modern Astrology, the Late Dr. B. V. Raman's relentless efforts to propagate it as an academic subject. Astrology has now captured the interest of large segments of the educated public. The wave of resurgence has swept away this pseudo-rationalist resistance bringing with it the realization of the invaluable role astrology can play in helping cope with the ills of modern society. There has been some kind of snowballing effect in educated circles, both in our own country as well as in the west, primarily the United States of America, in their eagerness to retrieve, revive and restore Jyotish to its pristine glory. The ancient classical works on the subject are now being eagerly lapped up but the problem begins because of the times when the astrological rules were first formulated being so different from our own. The author has made effort to adapt and apply these rules in the form of dicta, Yogas and combinations to contemporary life in the process seeking to bridge the gap between the ancient rules and their application value to the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We approach the world through words, sentences and languages. There can also be hidden knowledge within ourselves that we can discover. We can experience a certain understanding and explore connections if we are willing to listen. The book TRANSLINGUAL explores this skill, the ability to speak a foreign language without having learned it. I. H. Elyonor describes in this work, the experiences and phenomena that transformed her into a medium between the living and the dead. She builds a bridge to meditation and yoga from her own practice as a medium. The poetic language of Pandit Gobi Krishna and I. H. Elyonor is weaved throughout the book. Scientific theses on life after death, higher consciousness and the effect of yoga on humans are explained and substantiated with interviews. This work is also intended as a guide: The book concludes with several meditations so that you too can make your own experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yoga Vasistha has been a favourite book of spiritual seekers in India these several centuries. Its special appeal lies in its thoroughly rational approach, and in its presentation of Vedanta as a philosophy to bridge the gulf between the secular and the sacred, action and contemplation, in human life, through a comprehensive and lofty spirituality. This monumental scripture is the greatest help to the spiritual awakening and the direct experience of the Truth. This is certain. If this is what you want, you are welcome to the Yoga Vasistha. An oft-recurring expression in this scripture is kakataliya'-a crow alights on the coconut palm tree and at that very moment, a ripe coconut falls. The two unrelated events thus seem to be related in time and space, though there is no causal relationship. Such is life. Such is 'creation'. But the mind caught up in its own trap of logic questions why, invents a 'why' and a 'wherefore' to satisfy itself, conveniently ignoring the inconvenient questions that still haunt an intelligent mind. Vasistha demands direct observation of the mind, its motion, its notions, its reasoning, the assumed cause and the projected result, and even the observer, the observed and the observation-and the realization of their indivisible unity as the infinite consciousness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author-translator of this book was born in China of aristocratic parentage some fifty years ago. In early youth he became the disciple of a Buddhist Guru in a part of China near Tibet. His Guru sent him to Tibet to further his training. After eight years in Tibetan monasteries, six of them under one Guru, he went to school in the West to study animal husbandry and bring his knowledge hack to Tibet. The Communist victory in China and the Communist invasion of Tibet cut him off from returning. His devotion to Tibetan Buddhism is now expressed by translating into English its hitherto unknown teachings. This Book is an extremely concentrated introduction to the mental, physical, and spiritual exercises of Tibetan Buddhism, emphasizing the practice of Yoga exercises. The key to its understanding is the learning of Dumo—the generating of internal heat in one’s body. Dumo’s special meaning for Tibetan Yoga flows from the profoundly anti-ascetic and anti-pessimistic doctrine of Tantric Buddhism. The author means precisely what he says when he explains that opposites are also inseparable unities and that the best example of this is that the human body-mind can be made into the body of Buddha. Sexual bliss can become divine bliss. This work will both introduce the reader to the tranquility of yoga and, at the same time, lead him to explorations in the field of erotic mysticism. Richly illustrated throughout.

Book excerpt: Yoga is now internationally an integral part of our health-conscious cultural landscape. It is practiced by millions for health and fitness reasons. While Yoga is seen and practiced mostly as a body exercise program, the interest in the philosophical and spiritual dimension of Yoga is growing. This book introduces us to Patanjali, the founder of ancient Yoga in India. It takes us step by step into a deeper understanding of the essence and origins of Yoga. Osho introduces and unlocks Patanjali's ancient sutras, revealing how contemporary this ancient message truly is. It quickly becomes clear that we are just on the cusp of a gaining a much deeper understanding of Yoga and its place in our evolving world. Surprisingly, the mind even more than the body is the focus of Patanjali’s teaching. He says: "Yoga is the cessation of mind." As Osho says: "This is the definition of Yoga, the best definition. Yoga has been defined in many ways; there are many definitions. Some say Yoga is the meeting of the mind with the divine; hence, it is called yoga – yoga means meeting, joining together. Some say that Yoga means dropping the ego, ego is the barrier: the moment you drop the ego you are joined to the divine. You were already joined; it only appeared that you were not joined because of the ego. There are many definitions, but Patanjali’s is the most scientific. He says: Yoga is the cessation of mind. “What is the mind? What is the mind doing there? What is it? Ordinarily we think that mind is something substantial there, inside the head. Patanjali doesn’t agree, and no one who has ever known the inside of the mind will agree. Modern science also doesn’t agree. Mind is not something substantial inside the head. Mind is just a function, just an activity."
