Publication offer of the
Nine Tandirams on the Tirumandiram in English
with Glossary, select bibliography and index
in
separate tenth volume.
During the past five years,
a team of scholars has been writing an English
translation with extensive commentary of one
of
India’s greatest sacred texts, known as the Tirumandiram
by the Siddha Tirumular. It is one of the most
important works related to yoga, Tantra, Saiva
Siddhantha philosophy and spirituality ever written.
This classic text contains nine volumes, known
as tandirams. Each volume contains one tandiram,
with the Tamil verse, its transliteration, its
translation and commentary. In addition, there
is a tenth volume containing a glossary, a select
bibliography and index.
The following eminent scholars have translated
the nine tandirams:
Tandirams 1, 2 and 3 - Translated by Sri. T.V.
Venkataraman
Tandiram 4 - Translated by Dr. T.N. Ramachandran
Tandiram 5 - Translated by Dr. KR. Arumugam
Tandiram 7 - Translated by Dr. P.S. Somasundaram
Tandiram 8 - Translated by Dr. S.N. Kandasamy
Tandirams 6 & 9 - Translated by Dr. T.N. Ganapathy
Tenth Volume - Glossary & Select Bibliography
by DR. TNG
- and index by Dr. Ramesh Babus.
M. Govindan, Durga Ahlund and Krishna Brod has
served as its editors, adding commentary from
their yogic experiences.
“The poems of Tirumular abound
in technical terms conveying mystical experience.
The symbolic, twilight language of the Siddhas
has the advantage of precision, concentration,
secrecy, mystery, and esoteric significance in
that the symbols, at the hands of the Siddhas,
become a form of artistic expression of the inexpressible.
The use of the symbolic language is not merely
a protection against profaning the sacred by the
ignorant, but also suggests that language, however
enriched, is incapable of expressing the highest
experience of the spirit. Indeed, language is
but a broken lamp. In Sufi terminology, any attempt
to convey the inner meaning of one’s spiritual
experiences in conventional language is like “sending
a kiss to the beloved by a messenger.” In short,
the twilight language of the Siddhas is, in essence,
profoundly mystical in nature and contains a “numinous
aura” and existential revelations for the man
who deciphers their message.” The essential difficulty
is that to understand the twilight language requires
a total hermeneutic of reading, an awareness,
in fact, of the total religious and philosophical
structures that infuse it. It also requires one
to enter deep states of meditation wherein the
verse serves as a key that reveals a higher meaning
to the initiate.” (from “The Yoga of Boganathar,”
volume 1, by Dr. T.N. Ganapathy, page 12) To enable
the reader to fulfill this requirement has indeed
been the objective of this new translation and
commentary.
In addition the work contains
introductory chapters from the two sides of the
debate within Saiva Siddhanta, Tirumular’s monistic
theism versus Meykandar’s pluralistic realism,
as well as an extensive glossary. The translation
and commentary has sought to avoid bias towards
either of these perspectives, but rather to elucidate
the work itself, making it useful to everyone
regardless of their background. Babaji’s Kriya
Yoga Order of Acharyas USA and Canada, via The
Babaji’s Kriya Yoga Trust of Bangalore has paid
for the cost of the scholar’s work to date.

Also published in 1986 by the Dawn Horse Communion, under the title of “Maharaj.”
Born in 1770 in the royal family of Patiala, prince Krishna Singh was past 55 years old, when he embarked on his spiritual quest for the divine. He performed decades of intense tapas (penance) in the Himalayas and earned the name of Tapaswiji Maharaj. He intuited the highest levels of spiritual wisdom and reached the loftiest yogic states. He became a celebrated saint and a master of masters. In 1955 after an amazing life of 185 years, he voluntarily departed from his body in a final yogic act with AUM resonating on his lips
From a Himalayan master he learnt the secrets of Kaya-kalpa treatment, a cellular rejuvenation process, for the rejuvenation of the human body. He went through the Kaya-kalpa treatments to regain his own youth three times. He secured the darsan of Bhagavan Sri Krishna, Lord Dattatrey, Lord Parasurama, goddess Mahalakshimi and of several historic masters, sages, and personages, including Guru Nanak, Narada Maharshi, Durvasa Maharshi and Aswathama. During his long life time, he traveled all over India imparting spiritual wisdom to innumerable seekers of truth. He was established in the Self. He realized the divine play everywhere and loved everyone equally with a blissful smile. He exhibited a childlike spirit at all times, enjoying every moment. In the 1940’s T.S. Anantha Murthy became a close disciple of Tapaswiji. As the author of this biography, he has recorded the most remarkable spiritual experiences, encounters with other masters and many other mysterious events that the saint himself revealed. Readers of this biography will be inspired in their own spiritual efforts and elevated to higher levels of spiritual inquiry.

Who was Jesus? One of the most influential human
beings of all times? The founder of Christianity? A messiah
or savior sent by God to redeem humanity of its sins? What were
His teachings? Is our knowledge of Jesus limited to what is recorded
in the Bible? What has modern historical research to say about what
Jesus did and taught? "What were the original teachings of Jesus,
before the Christian religion became organized?"
With the discovery of many new source documents
in the Sinai Desert and near the Dead Sea, and with the advent of
modern methods of textual analysis by scholars who are independent
of institutional bias, today most Biblical scholars will agree that
the books of the Bible's New Testament are written at several levels
of authenticity:
· What were likely the actual words of Jesus, quoted
in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, but recorded several decades
afterwards.
· What were likely interpolations - words attributed to Jesus by
unknown sources.
· What was said about Jesus or about His teachings by others, for
example, Paul in his "letters," which make up most of the rest of
the New Testament, and which served as the basis for early Church
dogma.
More recently, the research of the Yoga Siddha
Research Centre in Chennai, India, has brought out a series of books
providing, for the first time, translation and commentary of the
Yoga Siddhas, or "perfected" Yogis of India, who were
contemporaries of Jesus. Their teachings and miraculous powers were
remarkably similar to those of Jesus.

The first authoritative biography of Babaji, the
immortal master made famous by Yogananda’s Autobiography of
a Yogi, an all-time best seller. Babaji lives today near Badrinath,
his body has not aged since the age of sixteen, when centuries ago
he attained the supreme state of enlightenment and divine transformation.

by two deathless masters, the Siddhas Agastyar and Boganathar, who
belonged to the “18 Siddha Tradition”, famous among
southern India. This rare account, by a longtime disciple, reveals
their little known life stories, ancient culture and present mission,
as well as how their Kriya Yoga can be used to bring about the integration
of the material and spiritual dimensions of life. Clear explanations
of the psychophysiological effects of Kriya Yoga and guidelines
for its practice are given. It includes verses from the Siddhas’
writings with commentary. A book, which will inspire you. Available in English, Tamil or Hindi. Available soon in: Marati, Kannada, Malyalam

KRIYA YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI AND THE SIDDHAS
by M. Govindan

Patanjali’s
Yoga Sutras are universally considered to be among the two or
three
most important texts in the field of yoga. Patanjali refers to
his yoga as “Kriya Yoga”: the “yoga of action
with awareness”. Until now, commentators have treated it
as a philosophical reference, and have largely ignored its implications
for yogic practice.
They have also ignored the fact that it is also an esoteric work,
and that only initiates, with sufficient prior experience, can
grasp
its deeper meaning. This new translation and commentary provides
a practical guide to Self-realization or enlightenment. It clearly
explains how to apply Patanjali’s profound philosophical
teachings in everyday life, in any situation with a unique “practice”
section after each verse’s commentary. When one practices
the techniques of Kriya Yoga, it is like driving a powerful automobile.
But without a roadmap, most students are “stuck in traffic”
or at “dead ends.” Now for the first time, there is
a clear roadmap to guide the student to remarkable destinations.
“ M. Govindan’s Kriya Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and
the Siddhars is a valuable addition to the study of Yoga in general
and the Yoga-Sutra in particular. I can wholeheartedly recommend
it. In particular, the growing number of students of Kriya Yoga
throughout the world will find his treatment indispensable, but
others will benefit from it.” From the foreword by Georg
Feuerstein, Ph.D., author of The Sutras of Patanjali and the
Encyclopedia of
Yoga. Available in English or Tamil
"A significant contribution to the sadhana of every serious yoga student, this copious (nearly 300 pages) new work, the result of a 10-year effort, includes detailed translation, tips for integrating the lessons into one's practice, references to other commentaries, and indexes to both Sanskrit and English keywords in the text."
- Yoga Journal - November 2001
"Marshall Govindan has produced an excellent and easily readable commentary on the often arcane Yoga Sutras, the main text of classical Yoga compiled by Patanjali from older perennial yogic teachings of India. Notably, Govindan has provided a unique perspective on this profound work from the Kriya Yoga and South Indian Shaivite traditions that gives his rendering a special value for disciples on these paths. He takes the Yoga Sutras out of academic confusion and into the realm of deeper yoga practice. He reveals the many sides of the true yogic science of consciousness that go far beyond asana or popular Yoga today."

Boganathar was the Siddha guru of Kriya Babaji Nagaraj, the famed
Himalayan master, of whom much has been written. Boganathar lived
an extremely long life through the use of alchemical rejuvenation
formulae and special breathing techniques. He traveled all over
the world, chronicled the lives of Siddhas much older than himself,
and provided his disciples an illumined path to Self-realization
and integral transformation of human nature into divinity. His astounding
life provides a shining example of our human potential. The present
work provides a biography of Boganathar, as we can glean it from
his writings alone, as well as introductory chapters on the Siddha
tradition and Kundalini Yoga. The present work also provides a
translation and commentary of about seventy-five selected poems,
which serious students of all traditions of Kundalini Yoga and Tantra
will find illuminating. By meditating upon the verses, the reader
will be able to draw much inspiration. The present work provides
a word-by-word translation, with alternative meanings, as well as
a literal translation, and finally an interpretative translation,
to balance the need for precision and understanding and to facilitate
a deeper meditative approach to the various layers of meaning of
each verse.

Boganathar was the Siddha guru of Kriya Babaji Nagaraj, the famed
Himalayan master. This volume 2 takes us further into the little
known world of the Siddhas, adepts of Yoga, who for millennia, have
explored the furthest reaches of human potentiality and spiritual
development. Boganathar was not only one of the greatest adepts
of Yoga of all time, but also a great scientist. For the first time
ever, the writings of Boganathar, the greatest scientist of the
Siddha tradition, have been translated into English, and a useful
commentary on these profound and difficult texts has been rendered.
The present volume contains poems that all lovers of Kundalini-Yoga
and Tantra will find inspiring.

The Yoga of the Eighteen Siddhas: An Anthology contains the revolutionary
statements of those great men and women who have reached the furthest
heights of human potential. The “Eighteen Yoga Siddhas”
is a tradition referred to in the ancient Tamil language literature.
Its illustrious members traveled all over the world, had extremely
long lives and performed what most of us would consider being miracles.
They did not like to be autobiographical, preferring to identify
themselves with that deathless jivatma, being-consciousness-bliss.
Consequently, they consciously changed bodies as easily as we change
clothes, when necessary, laughing at the limitations of ordinary
humans. They were not only mystics in the truest sense, but revolutionaries
against human nature, and they envisioned and embodied Divinity,
as a result of tremendous efforts of self-mastery and self-surrender
to their God-head.They left behind their teachings in the form of
poems, written on palm leaves, or edus. These works have been badly
neglected by scholars to date because of the difficulty in deciphering
them. The Siddhas wrote in what has been referred to as a “twilight
language,” to obscure the meaning from all but the most sincere
students, and prompting the reader to seek the deepest meaning within
themselves. They provide a unique source of understanding of both
the means and results of Kundalini-Yoga, a great esoteric art and
science.
THE YOGA OF SIDDHA AVVAI
by S.N. Kandaswamy
Rs. 350/-, Shipping charge: Courier North Rs.90/-, Courier South Rs.55/-, Reg post Rs.22/-, Reg parcel Rs.36/-, VPP post Rs.28/-, VPP parcel Rs.41/-
(280 pgs., includes Tamil verses, transliteration,
translation, commentary, notes, glossary, 2 appendixes, bibliography,
index, 6’x9’ size)
Avvai is considered to be one of the most influential sages among
the Tamil speaking people of south India. Her poems and literary
works, dating from the first millennium of the modern era are recited
by millions of Tamil speaking school children in south Asia to this
day. The values and wisdom which her poems convey however, has a
source. It is this source which the present volume, The Yoga of
Siddha Avvai, sheds much new light upon with the inclusion of her
text of Vinayakar Akaval. The author takes us on a literary, historical
and spiritual tour of ancient Indian culture, and in so doing, helps
us to understand her origins and greatness.
Like her illustrious forebearer, the Siddha Thiruvallavar, whose
influence on Tamil culture and values, through his classic Tirukkural,
is universally acknowledged; Avvai was also a Siddha Yogi. While
Thiruvallavar was a disciple of Agastyar, and brother disciple of
Babaji Nagaraj, the originator of Kriya Yoga, Avvai claims that
her Guru was the sound of Aum, the Pranava itself, personified in
the form of Ganesha, who taught her Kundalini-Yoga. Her poetry invokes
the presence of the Guru, and then ignites within the reader the
flame of spiritual consciousness. It also points to the esoteric
practice of Kundalini-Yoga as the path that leads to enlightenment
and God realization. Her’s is a wonderful example of arrupadai,
the Siddha’s ideal of showing the path to others. If the purpose
of human knowledge is to alleviate human suffering, then that knowledge
or wisdom which eliminates suffering completely is the most valuable.
Like all of the Siddhas, she shared her wisdom with this purpose.
Their teachings are universal, non-sectarian, and very much needed
in today’s suffering world.
Students of Kriya Yoga, Kundalini-Yoga, Jnana, and Tantra as well
as devotees of Ganesha (Vinayakar) and students of Tamil literature
and culture will all find much insight and greater understanding
of their path as a result of studying this volume. Readers familiar
with Avvai’s moral sayings may be surprised to learn of the
origins of her wisdom, and be inspired themselves to apply themselves
to Yogic sadhana.

My wife, Jan "Durga" Ahlund and I have recognized
for many years the need for a book that would explain to both those
interested in learning Kriya Yoga and those already embarked on
its path, why they should practice it, what are the difficulties,
and how to overcome them. We believe that this book will help prepare
everyone for the challenges and opportunities that Kriya Yoga provides.
Every one of us faces the resistance of our human nature, ignorance
as to our true identity, and karma, the consequences of years of
conditioning by our thoughts, words and actions. By cultivating

This book fulfills a longtime need for a comprehensive
introduction and commentary in the English language for one of Yoga's
greatest source works: the Tirumandiram or “Holy Garland
of Mantras,'described by Dr. Georg Feuerstein Ph.D “as important
as the Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita
and the Yoga-Vashistha combined.” Tirumandiram
is considered to be the greatest and earliest seminal work
of the Siddhas, the greatest adepts of Yoga, and an encyclopedia
of philosophical and spiritual wisdom rendered in verse form. It
is a book of Yoga, tantra, alchemy, mysticism, mantra, yantra and
philosophy. But without a commentary, it has been difficult for
most English readers, unfamiliar with much of its underlying philosophical
concepts, to clearly understand.
This new book explain clearly the most important
themes and philosophical concepts which are woven throughout the
Tirumandiram. These include: Saivism; the nature of Siva
and the relationship which the soul or jiva has with the
Lord; the philosophical school of Saiva Siddhantha ; the
concepts of God, the soul, the world, liberation, the paths to liberation;
the bonds or impurities which keep the soul in bondage; the concept
of Grace; Love; meditation; jnana ; the Yoga of Tirumandiram:
Astanga-Yoga, Khecari-yoga, Pariyana-Yoga (tantric yoga),
Chandra-Yoga (literally “moon” yoga), Kundalini-Yoga; mysticism,
the concept of the human body and its transformation into a divine
body; the concept of the guru; the social concerns of the Tirumular.
With an understanding of the basic ideas, the reader will then be
stimulated to make a detailed study of the Tirumandiram itself.
It is the sixth publication in a series produced
by scholars ot the Yoga Siddha Research Center, in Chennai, south
India, sponsored by Babaji's Kriya Yoga Order of Acharyas and the
Yoga Research and Education Center. The present work benefits from
the great familiarity which the authors have developed over many
years of full time study of much of the massive body of palm leaf
manuscripts written by the Siddhas.

(New) "Truth Speaks" (Civavakkiyam) - Ebook
by Yoga Siddha Sivavakkiyar
Translation and Commentatry Dr. Geetha Anand Ph D. and Dr. T.N. Ganapathy Ph D.
Rs. 235/-
“Who am I? Why am I here? How did I get here?” These are some of the questions that have been plaguing mankind since time immemorial. Various attempts to answer these questions have led to the evolution of the religions and philosophies of the world. The Tamil Siddhas or mystical saints from South India have answered these questions in the form of poems in vernacular that are popularly called Siddar Padalgal or Songs of the Siddhas. These songs are famous for their non-conforming and revolutionary ideas besides their bluntness and forthright directness. One of the Tamil Siddhas, Sivavakkiyar is a well-known “pious rebel” who composed “Truth Speaks” (Civavakkiyam), a collection of around 530 verses on topics ranging from kundalini yoga to social issues. The forceful clarity and absolute sincerity of these songs jolt people out of their intellectual rut and conventional thinking. These songs criticize mindless worship rituals, ceremonies, pilgrimages and recitation of scriptures besides condemning social injustices such as discrimination based on caste and creed. They explain the ultimate goal of life and teach us how to achieve it. They also give practical instructions on kundalini yoga, mantra japa, the cakras and vasi yoga. The songs explain the nature of the body, the soul, how a soul adorns the body and how the mantra namacivaya correlates with everything in the manifested universe. These songs show us that the philosophy of the Tamil Siddhas is a Philosophy of the Spirit which is not confined to any notion or nation, religion or community. It is for the betterment of the entire human race.
We now present to you a complete translation of Civavākkiyam along with expert commentary on each of the verses. We have posted a sampler of select verses from Civavākkiyam to give you a feel for the verses and the topics. Click here to view this sample.
“Truth Speaks” (Civavakkiyam) includes original Tamil verses, English translation and commentary.
New Chapter - Monistic Theism of the Tirumandiram (Thirumandiram) and Kashmir Saivism - Ebook
by Dr. Geetha Anand Ph D. and Dr. T.N. Ganapathy Ph D.
Rs. 50/-
In January 2012, we are publishing the 2nd edition of "The Yoga of Tirumular: Essays on the Tirumandiram," in India. At my request, Dr. Ganapathy and Dr. Geeta Anand have written for it a new final chapter, 33 pages in length, which discusses the debate over whether the Tirumandiram advocates pluralistic realism or monistic theism. Essentially the debate boils down to the question of "Are there three eternal realities: God, the soul and the world? Or is there really only One, all else being merely an illusion?" This chapter also compares the school of Kashmir Shaivism to the Tirumandiram, because both advocate a perspective which bridges the above two competing viewpoints. This chapter contains three parts. The first part contains selected verses to show that the burden of the song of the Tirumandiram is monism only. The second part gives a brief account of Kashmir Saivism representing it as a Saivite model of monism. The third part shows the parallelism between the Tirumandiram and Kashmir Saivism to emphasize the viewpoint that the Tirumandiram advocates monism and monism only. This parallel study is an unexplored field hitherto. By using the term ‘parallelism’, it is suggested that there might have been no known historical, literary or philosophical interaction between the two systems and that there is no concrete evidence so far to say that either system has influenced the other. If you order “The Yoga of Tirumular,” from Canada, you will receive in addition to the book, this new chapter as Ebook in PDF format, until our stock of the first edition is sold out. If you wish to order only this new chapter, as a 33 page monograph, you may do so here, for $2.99 It will be sent to you as an email attachment in a PDF file.

A BIRD’S EYE VIEW OF HINDUISM & INDIAN PHILOSOPHY

Rs. 60/-, Shipping charge: Courier North Rs.90/-, Courier South Rs.50/-, Reg post Rs.22/-, Reg parcel Rs.36/-, VPP post Rs.24/-, VPP parcel Rs.41/-
This monograph is a gist of the lectures delivered
to students—Indian and foreign—at various points of
time and at several institutions of higher learning. Most people,
including the Hindus, do not have a basic understanding of what
Hinduism stands for or what its philosophy is. Hinduism and Indian
philosophy have become a spiritual laboratory interested in the
growth of man, nay, the entire universe. This monograph will be
an eye-opener to the younger generation Indians who know very little
about Hinduism and the philosophical systems of India and it will
facilitate them to develop an interest in the indeterminable antiquity
of Indian civilization. (96 pages)
