Silambu Selvam

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

A literary treasure is not just for a moment of life but for eternity.  Silappadikaram, is one of them. It is a poetic masterpiece written by Ilango Adigal almost 2,000 years ago but still relevant today. The main characters of this history are Kovalan, his wife Kannagi, and the dancer Madhavi.

Before writing a synopsis of Silappadi­karam entitled Silambu Selvam, Dr.  Shu­­ddhananda Bharati critically studied 150 works and thus developed a thorough understanding of the Silappadi­karam. The explanation of Indian music, of the effects of musical vibration on the body and of the meaning of hand gestures during the dance form of Bharata Natyam make Silambu Selvam a very rich book. Silambu Selvam is the first translation in English from the original in Tamil, Chilambu Chelvam.

Sri Krishna and His Gospel

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

Mysticism is not mystification. It is the cosmic, conscious, radiant intuition steeped in the love of God in the Self and in all. Mystics breathe in God-consciousness. The supernatural is to them natural. They live eternity in every breath. Their life is fragrant with divine perfume and beauty. They soar in the wider heaven of peace and bliss.

They see God in and out. The whole universe is to them an omnipresence of the All-Beautiful. They revel in the flute-voice of Sri Krishna and they become his Gopies. They see the stellar millions gemmed in the garland of psychic love. The spheres spinning in the airy void sing Aum into their ears. Their words wed with thoughts and disappear into the bliss-peace of God-embrace.

Secrets of Sama Yoga

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

In the heart of the knowledge of Yoga, of Upanishads, of Gita, of the gnostic balance, of the psychic devotion, all is analyzed and explained, from the physical functioning of the human body to its spiritual functioning. A river floods through hills and rills and changing levels to pour itself into the ocean. It is emptied by the earth, but is replenished by heaven. Men, animals and plants use it daily; rains and springs fill it again. Through plains and plateaux, through fields and meadows, through cities and hamlets it sweeps on singing “I’m Aum.”

Even so runs the stream of Life through the thick and thin of embodied limitations to pour itself into an Infinite Bliss. The past is its source, the present its course and the future its goal. The soul-force is its resource.

Sama Yoga

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

Our life is a soul force involved in matter. The matter and the soul are like the body and the driver of a car. Yoga goes deep into the soul and opens inner mysteries and releases the divine force in our mental and psychic being. Science solves the external problems of life. Both unite to build up the harmony of collective universal life. Then we can see a transformed new humanity and ring in the blessed anthem of Peace for All.

A constructive science and dynamic Yoga can lead nations to live a life of purity, unity and divinity and liberate the mind from war mania. There are rare powers pent up in the psychic centres; there are higher inspirations that can kindle genius and manifest the divinity in humanity; Sama Yoga equally releases psychic forces and inspirations in men and women and promotes the vision of One Divine Humanity.

Mahatma Ramalingam

Author: Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati

Mahatma Ramalingam (Vallalar) experienced both the characteristics of form and formlessness in Jyoti, the divine light. It has a form because one can experience it and see it. It is also without form because one cannot feel it and it is likely to be extinguished. Vallalar believed that the Eternal Truth remains unrevealed and it is the Jyoti, the Vast Grace of Light, that causes the revelation of truth.

A subject is able to perceive an object only when the reflection of the light falls on the object. If a precious stone meant for public display is kept in a dark corner it never gets noticed. It needs the focus of a light to bring out its full value in sparkling brilliance. The power of Jyoti is highlighted in all religions. It forms the foundation of all thoughts, all activities and systems. Jyoti is the eternal divine power that first originated in the universe.

Cosmic Riddles

A clear answer to the endless doubts and contradictions in the life of men and women in this world. This is an answer to innumerable questions put to the enlightened author during his wide tours in the countries of the East and West.

Cosmic Riddles is an important work of Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati. Culture, as many artists understand it, unifies the people and enters them through song, literature, cinema, theatre, etc. Many messages pass from this fact by the culture. This is also an approach to the relation between man and God. It contains a perceptible description and specifies many of the riddles of existence to help human beings to an understanding.
