New Chapter Monistic Theism of the Tirumandiram (Thirumandiram) and Kashmir Saivism,
by Dr. Geeta Anand Ph D. and Dr. T.N. Ganapathy Ph D. - Ebook
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 Saivism 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.

New Ebook Opposite Doing: The Five Yogic Keys to Good Relationships
by Marshall Govindan
Persons new to Yoga are often surprised to learn that most of what we do in Yoga is intentionally the opposite of what our human nature would generally motivate us to do. Aside from the obvious examples, of remaining conscious when the eyes are closed rather than sleeping, or standing on our head rather than our feet, Yoga asks us to do the opposite of our natural social behavior. I will show you, with practical exercises, how the observance of the five yogic practices, known as the yamas will enable you to transform your human nature and to fulfill both your practical and sublime purposes in life

Dr Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D,
the world foremost scholar in the field of Classical Yoga has written
a book review
of our latest and greatest publication, The Tirumandiram. He says: “There
are at least four Yoga scriptures that should have a place in any
library of core Yoga works: Patanjali’s Yoga-Sutra, the Bhagavad-Gita,
and the ten-chapter edition of the Hatha-Yoga-Pradipika of Svatmarama
Yodindra, which are all composed in Sanskrit. The fourth scripture
is Tirumular’s
Tiru-Mandiram, which is written in Tamil…Yoga-loving English speakers and
the academic community owe an enormous gratitude to Marshall Govindan
(Satchitananda) for initiating and sustaining this mammoth project,
to his wife Durga Ahlund
Govindan for her unstinting editorial and other support, and to Prof.
T. N. Ganapathy and his team of translators and editors for successfully
completing
a truly monumental undertaking. Read the complete review here
