Each of us has the power to awaken the divine within. We all have a secret power lying dormant waiting to awaken and arise, coiled like a snake at the base of our being. It is the stuff of legend, but the truth of life that honors the call to spiritual enlightenment and living in the frequency of creation. It is this force that brings you in contact with pure consciousness. This powerful, primal energy is known as Kundalini, and awakening this dormant life force is just the beginning of walking the path of enlightenment.

During the 18 years since this version first appeared, our world has entered deepening crisis and confusion.

The Bhagwat Gita is the main sourcebook on yoga and is a concise summary of India’s Vedic wisdom. Yet, remarkably, the setting for this classic spiritual text is an ancient Indian battlefield. In this interpretation of the Gita, the author explains that the essence of the Gita is the equanimity of mind, which is attained by transcending it because mind consciousness is myopic and only spiritual consciousness abounds in universal love and absolute knowledge.

What Hinduism needed, amidst the general disintegration of the modern era, was a rock where she could lie at anchor, an authoritative utterance in which she might recognize her self. And this was given to her, in these words and writings of the Swami Vivekananda. What Hinduism had needed, was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both these are found here.
