A Child’s Garden of Yoga

Book List
A Child’s Garden of Yoga introduces children to the fundamentals of Hatha and Raja Yoga through clear instructions, step-by-step photographs, and simple yet effective breathing exercises and meditation techniques. The book covers three basic internal 'locks' (āṇḍa, mūla, uddīyāna), deep breathing, and easy yoga postures suitable for young practitioners. Designed with mindfulness and joy, it encourages physical awareness, inner calm, and playful exploration of yoga as a path to well-being.

Adhyatama Ramayana

Book List
The Adhyātma Rāmāyaṇa is a spiritually focused retelling of the Ramāyaṇa embedded within the Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa. Framed as a dialogue between Śiva and Pārvatī, it presents Lord Rāma not simply as an ideal human but as the supreme Brahman—pure, eternal, and the source of all existence. Across over 4,200 verses, the text reinterprets Rāma’s life events—his exile, Sītā’s abduction, the battle with Rāvaṇa—as allegorical expressions of the soul’s journey from ignorance to Self-realization. The work emphasizes the harmony of devotion (bhakti) and non-dual knowledge (jñāna), offering hymns, dialogues, and philosophical depth that influenced later devotional works like Tulsīdāsa’s Ramacharitamānas.
