"A captivating and splendid account of a complex nation on the cusp of tradition and modernity. Bhutan is distinctive--from its social structures to its development philosophy of Gross National Happiness. The Blessings of Bhutan is based on extensive travel and interviews. Written in an accessible style, the authors blend narrative about the country's history, religion, arts, and governance with lively personal anecdotes. It is an excellent contribution to the study of contemporary Bhutan that will appeal to laymen and scholars alike." --Karma Ura, Director of the Centre for Bhutan Studies "The blessings of Bhutan are many, including the appearance of this lyrical account of the country's many unique and fascinating aspects. Because they are among the Westerners most familiar with Bhutanese life, Blyth and Russ are able to penetrate well beyond the Shangri-la myth and show that, while parts of such an otherworldly myth apply, this Himalayan Kingdom is brimful of surprises, contradictions, and modern dilemmas." --K. E. S. Kirby Dorji, writer/editor, United Nations consultant, longtime resident of Bhutan.

Tantra is believed to be the oldest single source of knowledge concerning the energies of the mind, body and spirit. It is a spiritual belief system that originated in ancient Hindu culture and views the material world as a manifestation of the Divine in which everything is accepted and connected - woven together. One of the deepest insights of tantra is that the human body is single energy phenomenon. At the physical level, this energy is expressed as sex drive. At the level of the nervous system and the brain, it is experienced as ecstasy. The sexual drive is an instinctive, raw energy which has to be accepted and respected. It is the raw material which can be transformed in many different ways - the crude oil from which the high-octane fuel of ecstasy is produced. How you can use this powerful energy to live every moment of your life and experience both spiritual and sexual bliss is the focus of the book.

In the vast tapestry of spiritual traditions, Tantra stands out as a profound and transformative path that weaves together the threads of body, mind, and spirit. Often misunderstood and misrepresented, Tantra is not merely a practice of physical intimacy but a comprehensive system of spiritual development that embraces all aspects of life. Tantra: The Ultimate Knowledge delves into the depths of this ancient wisdom, exploring its origins, philosophies, and practices. This book aims to demystify Tantra, presenting it as a holistic approach to achieving self-realization and liberation. Through the integration of various techniques such as mantras, mudras, visualization, and breathwork, Tantra offers a unique path to expand consciousness and connect with the divine. Central to the practice of Tantra is the understanding and manipulation of energy within the body. This energy, often referred to as prana or life force, flows through a network of channels known as nadis. The convergence points of these nadis are the chakras, or energy centers, which play a crucial role in maintaining physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In this journey, you will discover how Tantra celebrates the unity of the physical and spiritual realms, teaching that every experience, every sensation, is a gateway to the divine. By working with the chakras, practitioners can awaken and harmonize their inner energy, leading to profound states of awareness and bliss. Techniques such as kundalini awakening focus on activating the dormant energy at the base of the spine, allowing it to rise through the chakras and bring about transformative experiences. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of Tantra, exploring its rich history, its profound teachings, and its practical applications in daily life. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious seeker, this book will provide you with the insights and tools needed to embark on your own Tantric journey towards enlightenment. *All chapters in this book were originally part of our earlier work; 'Kundalini Science' series' 'Spiritual Psychology' books.

Ancient Kriya Yoga Tantric Scripture : Commentaries on Hanuman Chalisa as seen by The Divine Third Eye. This book is an outcome of inner revelations of mystical meanings of Hanuman Chalisa. Penning down itself was full of eternal vibrations which resembled as if being dictated by a Siddha. This journey was full of inexplicable ecstasy and joy, laced with complete surrendering to witnessing the state of Hanuman. It depicts transcendental qualities and attributes of this state in its totality. This body is just an instrument of meditation and the individual is nothing, the individual have nothing. Hanuman is a special state of Siddhas, the qualities of which are described by Hanuman Chalisa. A Sadhak passes through infinite number of states during his Sadhana. Period of stay in any state varies depending on the peculiarities of that state as well the predicament of the Sadhak. During this course, the outer symptoms may not be described and grasped as aptly as inner symptoms. Outer symptoms like trembling and/or levitation of body often lead to bewilderment and amusement of the beholder. Whereas being in the same state, it leads to calm acceptance and grasp of what is happening to someone else being in that state. Hence irrespective of the peculiarities and idiosyncrasies associated with various paths, the Sadhak finds himself in a special state all of a sudden, often termed as being at one place in Siddha Loka. Gradually, he realizes that there are infinite such states, hence places in Siddha Loka, one of which is Hanuman. It becomes clear to him that practice (Sadhana) is gradual, but being in any such state is all of a sudden, involuntary ones during early stages of Sadhana. There is no single prescribed path for Sadhana, simply because it varies from Sadhak to Sadhak, the root of which is often buried deep in one's Providence(Prarabdha). Hence no matter which path a Sadhak adopts for his journey to start with, he will get aligned to the best path, most suitable one for him, in due course of time, gradually. The single most important key is : Continue seeking in with utmost Sincerity and Devotion. Historians often attribute the composition of Hanuman Chalisa to Goswami Tulsi Das, whereas a Sadhak realizes, when time is ripe for him, that the particular Shabda is eternal, ever present, everywhere, perceptible to one only when one is ready during his course of Sadhana, including listening to these being chanted/sung by Siddhas, all the time, beyond the time. This book is dedicated to all Sadhakas.
