Surprisingly, one of the more lucid insights on the philosophy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead comes from a Hindu mystic, named Baba Faqir Chand, who apparently was not familiar with the original Tibetan text or its English translation.

Faqir Chand, like his lama counterparts, spent much of his life in meditation, attempting to consciously go through the dying process in order to prepare himself for his final exit.

Presented in a contemporary and unbiased perspective, these stories of the 10 avatars of Vishnu are an attempt to make mythology more believable and relevant to the world that we live in today.

The story of Ravana and his people has been told innumerable times. This is the Hindi translation of the number one national best seller.

It is said that when one balances his or her chakras, the rest of life falls into place. This is very true, but there is much more than chakra balancing to strive for. Chakras themselves can be a source of energy to create magick. Using chakras for magick makes perfect sense, since spiritual and physical energies travel via the chakras. You are, in essence, your chakras. Everything in the world, whether this world or the spiritual world, communicates with you via your chakras.
