*** Yoga - General ***
How To Select A Guru
by Ramamurti S Mishra
For most of us the quest for spirituality begins with the seach
for a true teacher - a guru who can lead us to the profound and
eternal joys of enlightenment. But how does one find a being
who is an embodiment of the very truth that we are seeking? This
book tells us about the attributes that one must seek in the
right kind of guru and the pitfalls that one must avoid. The
book also warns against charlatans and peddlers of false dharma
who mislead the gullible for their own personal fame and fortune.
"This is a book that tells you all about what a guru is,
and what he is not. -- Swami Raj

Yoga Explained
by F Yeats-Brown
"At dawn I opened the shutters of my bedroom, watched
the sun rise across the blue waters of the Adriatic, sat for
an hour, sometimes two, cross-legged, absorbed in the beauty
of the world, and the meditative exercises of yoga. After breakfast
I swam, then slept, or read the Paradiso, roamed the countryside,
saw where Caesar crossed the Rubicon, where St. Anthony preached
to the fish, where Paolo loved Francesca."
This guide to yoga is a quaint period piece from the 1930s, full
of the author's highly individual approach to yoga that makes
this book stand out from the crowd of yoga "how to"
manuals on the market today.

*** Kundalini Yoga ***
The Cult of Divine Power "Sakti Sadhana" (Kundalini
Yoga)
by Jadunath Sinha
This invaluable book gives the essentials of Saktism, the philosophy
of Siva-Sakti, and the worship of the Divine Mother, as based
on the Sakta Upanisads, Tantras and other authoritative works.
Sakta Monism has a distinct and unique place in the history of
Indian philosophy and religion. It is allied to the Pratyabhijna
school of Saivism of Kashmir and Advaita Vedanta.
Saktaism believes in Siva-Sakti, Siva, Absolute, and Sakti, Divine
Power -- laying stress on the latter as the creator, preserver
and destroyer of the world, and binder and liberator of the individual
selves. Siva and Sakti are inseparable from each other, and an
integral unity. Siva-Sakti is the Supreme Reality. Sakti is spiritual
energy, dormant in matter as coiled power, more awakened in life,
more manifest in mind or consciousness, more potent in superconsciousness.
Sakti pervades the world, and sustains all individual selves,
atoms of divine consciousness, limited by their adjuncts. The
world is created, maintained and dissolved by Sakti, and is real
to an individual self until it is liberated. It is unreal to
a liberated self.
In religion Saktism seeks for the complete transformation of
human life into life divine.
Tantric meditation, kundalini yoga, mental concentration at the
centres of mystic consciousness and meditation on the Divine
Power, Sakti, awakening the Divine Energy at the basic centre
by breathing exercises, making pierce the six esoteric centres
at the abdominal centre, the navel centre, the heart centre,
the throat centre, the eyebrow centre, and uniting it with the
Absolute at the highest centre at the top of the cerebrum, is
a unique method in Saktism.

*** Tantric Yoga ***

Diary of a Tantric Priestess
by Claire Marie Bailey with Jack Bailey (Swami Krishna Chaitanya)
The experiences of a present day tantric combined with the experiences
of her Guru and mentor this book provides the reader with an
insight into the world of Tantra and its application in the contemporary
world.
* What is tantra?
* How may it effect changes in our everyday life?
* Can anyone practice this art?
Whilst telling her story Claire Marie Bailey explains very
lucidly how the practice of tantra has brought many positive
changes into her life. An inspiring story that whets the appetite
of those interested in the subject to delve further into the
mystic secrets of tantra.
Claire Marie is 43 years old, has seven children (two from a
previous marriage), and when she met Sri Krishna Chaitanya (this
is his spiritual name), the White Guru, she had had bulimia for
over ten years, owing to a bad and stressful marriage to a heavy
drinker, and developed stomach cancer from misuse of stronger
and stronger laxatives.
She had been a uniformed member of the Salvation Army for
over twenty years, but always looking for 'something more'. She
found that in the teachings of the White Guru, and in his remarkable
abilities. He told her 'miracles do not prove the truth of a
religion or philosophy, but if the religion or philosophy is
true, miracles should happen'.
He told her that 'sidhis', for their own sake are valueless,
mere dust on the mirror of consciousness, and, within six weeks
of practicing tantra with him, she was healed of both her bulimia
and stomach cancer.
Today she is a tantric practitioner herself, with her own
group of devotees (mainly in the USA, while Sri Krishna Chaitanya
focuses on India), and has seen many of them physically healed
and a few attain realisation. She is a fully realised soul, a
liberated individual, has sidhis, and is still a busy wife and
mother.
"The life of [this] diminutive, soft-spoken 'White Guru'
seems the stuff Bollywood blockbusters are made of." --
Hindustan Times
