"Sadhana of Service" reflects Eknathji's thoughts on the personality of an ideal worker. Swami Vivekananda said in one of his speeches that our country had always to wait for the birth of a great man. He leads us for some time and there is no continuity. A grand idea should be sufficient to thousands of people to take it up and follow it. But if that grand idea is not propogatedd by a great man, it has no chance of flourishing in our country. His dream was to reverse this trend.

Short, easy-to-read essays revealing Gandhi’s most important teachings on love, meditation, service, and prayer—with profound wisdom and inspiration for readers of every faith. Mahatma Gandhi became famous as the leader of the Indian independence movement, but he called himself “a man of God disguised as a politician.” The Way to God demonstrates his enduring significance as a spiritual leader whose ideas offer insight and solace to seekers of every practice and persuasion. Collecting many of his most significant writings, the book explores the deep religious roots of Gandhi’s worldly accomplishments and reveals—in his own words—his intellectual, moral, and spiritual approaches to the divine. First published in India in 1971, the book is based on Gandhi’s lifetime experiments with truth and reveals the heart of his teachings. Gandhi’s aphoristic power, his ability to sum up complex ideas in a few authoritative strokes, shines through these pages. Individual chapters cover such topics as moral discipline, spiritual practice, spiritual experience, and much more. Gandhi’s guiding principles of selflessness, humility, service, active yet nonviolent resistance, and vegetarianism make his writings as timely today as when these writings first appeared. A foreword by Gandhi’s grandson Arun and an introduction by Michael Nagler add useful context.

A daily personal yoga practice, or sadhana, is carried out by yogis and yoginis throughout the world every day. Within western culture our knowledge of yoga and yoga practices has been shaped by lessons and insights provided and shared by well-known yoga teachers and yoga therapists in various traditions. Yet, the consistent message from all these teachers is to maintain your own daily practice – honor your sadhana. Finding and committing yourself to either a particular yogic tradition’s daily discipline or finding the confidence and dedication to create your own yoga practice can be both daunting and challenging to new yoga students while it eventually becomes an essential part of every day for people with an established practice. In Sharing Sadhana, the author provides an overview and outline of what yoga sadhana means within western yoga culture and what it means to prominent and experienced yoga teachers and therapists in the western yoga world. She interviews yoga teachers such as Richard Miller, Nischala Joy Devi, Leslie Kaminoff and other prominent practitioners about their views, advice, and experience of sadhana and what it means to them in their personal daily lives and in their teaching. The book offers a means for these experienced practitioners to share information about their own development of sadhana, to provide insights into their own personal yoga journey as well as sadhana guidance and inspiration to new and seasoned yoga practitioners. It includes the challenges they have faced on their yoga journey and how they have overcome those barriers; their advice to other yoga practitioners; and how their yoga practice has changed over time. Anyone hoping to cultivate a better daily yoga practice will be inspired to begin today.
