Experience the Essence of Your Deepest Self. Can a spiritual tradition with ancient roots in India be truly relevant to people in the West today? The answer is a resounding yes.
Swami Chetanananda, a contemporary American teacher, explains, with admirable clarity and simplicity, three aspects of spiritual practice: work with a teacher (having a teacher or mentor); private meditation (our daily inner practices); service (extending what we learn into every facet of our lives. These are based on Trika yoga, a tantric method of Kashmir Shaivism. Together, these elements bring a practitioner the direct experience of the vibrant awareness that is our very essence, which he calls dynamic stillness.
"The reader will indeed find valuable discussions of the chakras, prana, and the kundalini energy, as well as helpful practice exercises. But the real merit of the book is that it is an eye-opening introduction to spiritual practice and discipleship per se. Here the author's wisdom provides reliable guidance." Georg Feuerstein, Author of The Yoga Tradition: Its History, Literature, Philosophy and Practice.
