Prashnopanishad (Yoga Siddhanta Bhashya) by Niranjanananda Paramahansa

This book contains the complete Sanskrit text of Prashnopanishad, the 'Upanishad of Questions', along with the transliteration, translation and commentary of a modern master. Subjects covered are tapasya (austerity), brahmacharya (celibacy), faith, the process of creation, the supporters of life, the senses and prana, and how the life force originates.

The text is thoroughly explained from the yogic and scientific points of view, and many points relating to yoga philosophy are clarified. The commentary of Adi Shankaracharya is also given in Sanskrit with each verse and an explanation of the Vedantic interpretation. The practices necessary to understand and experience the teachings are distilled in the final section.

The Yoga of Sri Krishna by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati

“The Bhagavad Gita is not a religious book or a treatise on philosophy. It is a work which dispels doubts about the dharma that one has to live in life. According to the founding thoughts of the Bhagavad Gita, the process of managing life and the cultivation of better qualities, dharma and the journey of life are the focus of an individual. Yoga is the medium through which one is able to complete this journey.”

The Yogadrishti (Yogavision) series of satsangs consists of discourses given by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati in Munger as part of the new phase of sannyasa life that he has embarked upon since 2009.

The yoga of Sri Krishna was the theme of the satsangs Swamiji gave in February 2012 at Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth and Paduka Darshan Sannyasa Peeth. Swamiji elucidates the yogic practices that Sri Krishna taught Arjuna on the battlefield. He explains how these simple practices cultivate understanding and awareness, and are methods of managing the different situations one encounters daily. Swamiji provides a fresh, new perspective on the understanding of the Bhagavad Gita, as he enumerates the yogic sadhanas that lie hidden within the text and offers practical steps for the development of courage, peace and focus in negotiating life’s challenges.… (more)
