Synopsis

The modern lifestyle with its excesses and worldly desires, the constant need to be connected, and the rapid development in technology, has made stress and lifestyle-related diseases the norm. The need for meditation thus is more acute. Meditation calms the mind, brings focus and enhances the senses, resulting in a better quality of life and work. And with the right Mantras, meditation becomes a highly effective tool in unleashing the immense potential within oneself.

This book from the Sivananda Ashram explains what meditation and Mantras are and how they can be effectively used to recharge oneself with divine energy, so that the tension of body and mind are gradually reduced.

About this title

About the Author:

Swami Vishnudevananda (1927 1993), a disciple of Swami Sivananda, was the founder of the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres. He established the Sivananda Yoga Teachers Training Course, a unique program that allowed the trainees to incorporate the teachings of yoga into their daily lives. His book The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga is considered to be the bible for yoga practitioners.

Swami Vishnudevananda was a Karma Yogi and a peace activist who flew on several peace missions over places of conflict, bombarding wartorn areas with flowers and pamphlets while repeating the peace Mantra: Om Namo Narayanaya. He created the Om Namo Narayanaya bank in the Himalayas, hoping to bring positive vibrations to the whole world. Although he left his body on 9 November 1993, his legacy and energy still shine throughout the organization, the centres and ashrams of which have spread all over the world, training over 30,000 teachers.
