The story of the Ramayana had been told innumerable times. The enthralling story of Rama, the incarnation of God, who slew Ravana, the evil demon of darkness, is known to every Indian.

But what if Ravana and his people had a different story to tell? The story of the Ravanayana had never been told.

Lectures on the Mandukya Upanishad and Karika by Swami Sarvapriyananda at the Vedanta Society of New York.

Bhakti yoga is a real, genuine search after the Lord, a search beginning, continuing, and ending in love. One single moment of the madness of extreme love to God brings us eternal freedom. “Bhakti is greater than karma, greater than yoga, because these are intended for an object in view, while Bhakti is its own fruition, its own means, and its own end.”

Yet, as they are based upon the great, timeless Bhagavad Gita, they contain the essence of all practical wisdom, set forth in admirable order and great detail. This timeless theme brings forth a palpable spiritual regeneration, the rebirth of the spiritual from the psychical: the same sacred theme that the realized yogis of India so wisely and eloquently set forth over 5,000 years ago.

Kali, the dark mother of the Hindu pantheon is oft the most misunderstood Goddess in all human spiritual endeavor. Her images often depict her as being an evil and demonic force that few should ever dare call upon whilst others worship her as benign Goddess whom bestows blessings upon her supplicants.

Shiva and Shakti is a groundbreaking exploration of one of India’s most profound and misunderstood spiritual traditions. For centuries, Tantra has been shrouded in secrecy and clouded by misconceptions—reduced in the West to exoticized sexuality or dismissed in the East as superstition. Yet at its heart, Tantra is neither indulgence nor taboo. It is the ancient vision of Shiva and Shakti, consciousness and energy, stillness and movement—two inseparable forces whose dance gives birth to the cosmos.
