NIJA ANANDA BHODHAM

NIJA ANANDA BHODHAM

(The Mystery of Human Life)

The author claim that what is presented in this book was revealed to him when he was in Brahma Nishta.  The spontaneous outpourings, the end product of his immediate experience are marked by sublime uncouthness.  This is as it should be in the circumstances.  When the finite tries to express the infinite, when the limited attempts to describe the unlimited, the result is bound to be cryptic.  The book is not easy reading.  However, rich will be the reward to sincere seekers of the spirit if they succeed, by patient and persistent effort, in understanding the message of the book.  The book provides glimpses of the ultimate truth, as the author understood it when he was in “Yoga Nidhra” or “Manolaya”.  Three disciplines - Ashtanga yoga, Advaitic Vedanta and Sri Vidya - are blended in this work.  Sri Chakara is identified as the map around human life.  Self-realisation is achieved through Ashtanga yoga.  This self-realisation confirms the truth of Advaita Vedanta in regard to the identity of the individual self with the cosmic Brahman.  The author is a “Tantra Yogi” who has realized the shores of He assures the reader that he too can achieve the feat if he, undeviatingly and uninterruptedly follows the path outlined in the book.  This work treads unfamiliar ground.  Sadhakas will find much that will be of great help to them in their endeavours to attain Ananda.  Sunday Standard  June, 3rd 1979
