Letters of Kavi Yogi, Volume 1

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

Letters of Kaviyogi is a book which is an inspiration to any reader. This giant of a man was the author of the epic Bharata Shakti but remained a humble seeker after truth and God’s grace. During his lifetime, Kaviyogi wrote many letters to his family, fellow poets, fighters for Indian independence and other great thinkers he met during his travels.

In these letters he sets out his philosophy and beliefs, describing the struggles he had to overcome in order to live according to his principles. He offers many wise words of guidance on important matters; including the correct education of young men and women, and the need for justice and fairness in society. We cannot fail to be touched by the insights he offers and his generosity in sharing his thoughts with us.. More details here extracts Letters of Kavi Yogi, Volume 1 (pdf)

Art Temple

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

Art Temple is a rare book which acts as an inspiration to us all. It tells the story of Tamilmani (Ramanathan) and his struggles to establish an Art Temple dedicated to the Tamil language and to Lord Shiva. Ramanathan’s mother, the pious and chaste Visalakshi was inspired by the teachings of Swami Vivekanada. She and her husband, Sivanesam, educated their son so that he developed his talents fully.

Art Temple describes the struggles of Tamilmani as he sought funds and recruited supporters to fulfil Visalakski’s dying ambition to establish an Art Temple. Vivekanada’s vision was of a community of like-minded people working together to support themselves while focusing on a temple which celebrated Tamil art and culture.

The Delightful Tamil Garden

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

The Delightful Tamil Garden is a rare book of prose; I was ecstatic on reading it. The great talent of the author, Yogi Suddhananda Bharathi is admirable! As his great qualities are well-known to the world, it will only be an exaggeration if I say that this book written by him is wonderful in many ways. It is praiseworthy that, as the title implies, he has written the book, creating a relationship between trees, plants, creepers, flowers, and unripe fruits and the names of the Tamil books.

The Magic Weapon of Shiva

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

This Tamil drama, The Magic Weapon of Shiva, while having as its central theme the penance of Arjuna, also explores the philosophies of Saiva and Vaishnava groups. Divinity, devilry, the greatness of sages, the discipline of mankind, the expertise of warriors, kindness of God Krishna, the path for meditation and penance, detachment, the glories of prayer of Shiva, the mercy of God and the virtues of Nama Shivaya ”The Panchakshari” - all these subjects are explained in this drama.

Tamil Land has great sacred virtues. Here the first prayer goes to the sages; they were the ones who guided us by disciplining the social life, with wise books, arts and good conduct. They guarded the society, established duties, and created brave warriors. When these scholarly, selfless sages lived among us, doing their penance and guiding the society, India attained a glorious state.

The Revelations of Saint Meikandar

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

Here is an original synthetic treatise upon the Twelve Aphorisms revealed to a perfect Saint Meikandar. The Tamil word ‘Meikandar’ means ‘Sathya Dharshi’ or the ‘Truth Seer’ who, being a perfect Yogi and a divine Jnani, speaks from within the highest and the purest truth about the three eternal entities - God, Soul and the Universe.

This book guides the seekers and thinkers of the Eternal Truth, who strive to master the quintessence of the Agama Siddhanta and Tantra works of our ancient sages. Critically viewed, metaphysics deserves a very subtle interpretative medium of expression and our author exquisitely levels his medium to the spiritual interior of higher experience.

The Yoga Master

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

“O Fosterer, O sole Seer, O Ordainer, O Illuminating Sun, O Power of the Father of creatures, marshal Thy rays, draw together Thy silent light; the lustre which is Thy most blessed form of all, that in Thee I behold. The Purusha there and there...!” (Isopanishad)

To pass from the external to a direct and intimate inner consciousness, to widen consciousness out of the limits of the ego and the body, to heighten it by an inner will and aspiration and opening to the Light till it passes in its ascent beyond the mind, to bring down a descent of the Supramental Divine through self-giving and surrender with a consequent transformation of the mind, life and the body – this is the integral way of Truth. It is this that we call the Truth here and aim at in our Yoga.

The Soul sings

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

The world knows him as a poet, sage, Yogi, patriot, universalist and a spiritual socialist. His soul sings in these songs. He realized God by intuitive fervour in his fifth year and bloomed into a seer-poet. Purnananda, Jnana Siddha, Sai Baba, Siddharuda, Ramana Maharishi and Sri Aurobindo; Tagore, Gandhiji, Tilak and V. V. S. Ayyar influenced his life and muse.

By a self-gathered silence and tenth-plane trance of twenty-five years, the Yogi attained Godhood and directed his Cosmic Energy towards the inner- awakening of humanity. The Soul sings is a collection of his songs sparked out of his deep divine intuition. These songs have the power to awaken the divinity in your heart; sing or read them with faith and fervour and you will have peace, bliss, light and energy.

Thirukkural

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

There are three holy works by which the Tamil language has been universalised and immortalised. They are Thirukkural, Thiruvachakam and Thirumandiram. Thirukkural is the life, Thiruvachakam the heart and Thirumandiram the soul of Tamilian culture. We are here concerned with Thirukkural or Holy Kural of Saint Valluvar. It is a grand mosaic of cultural creation, a repertory of universal thoughts and truths.

It is the one book for all, for all times and a world that lives it shall enjoy eternal peace, harmony, health, wealth, power, grace and bliss. It gives the light of right life, the wealth of practical wisdom, the milk of heart’s abundance, the honey of conjugal bliss and the joy of peace and harmony at home and the wider homeland. It is the Gospel of “Love and give”, a code of soul-luminous life. The whole human aspiration is epitomised in the immortal book – a book for all ages.

Alvar Saints

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

The writer’s kinship of mind and heart and soul with the saints, whom he describes and interprets and glorifies in his work, is remarkable and has enabled him to dive in the ambrosial ocean of the Alvars’ souls, just as the Alvars had, in the author’s own words, “Taken a deep plunge into the ocean of divine consciousness.” Well does he say in apt and ardent language: “An Alvar is a golden river of love and ecstacy which finds its dynamic peace in the boundless ocean of Sat-Chid-Ananda.

”An Alvar is a living Gita, breathing Upanishad, a moving temple, a hymning torrent of divine rapture. The Alvars were so simple, so humble, so much immersed in the Divine and so superconscious that they did not even care for the publicity of their sublime psalms. Their life was a ceaseless stream of divine communion. They took utter refuge at the feet of the Divine.”

Secrets of Yoga

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

Secrets of Yoga is a discovery, a comprehensive and unprecedented treatise on Yoga in general, an access to Aum Shuddha Shakti, a step forward in union with the Self, a clear and precise explication of the gnostic equilibrium which guides us through the ups and downs of life and helps us for the unity with the Divine that is the reality of our inner being. Let His Grace blossom in us.

Yoga quickens the evolution of man. Down the ages, evolution has held its course. Man should find his self-centre which is the generator of evolution. It accelerates the speed of evolution by the intensity of Sadhana. Yoga does it. Yoga is life, in tune with the Immortal One that is the Immutable in the changing variations of the mortal world; that is the eternal Witness, the passive Charioteer who is not moved by the battle of modes and dualities of Nature.
