Spiritual Teachings of Ancient India by Swami Tadatmananda resident Teacher

Since time immemorial, yogis, sages and mystics have forsaken the pleasures of the ordinary world and gone to secluded places to meditate, eager to attain even a momentary vision of Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Fifty centuries ago that same Krishna descended from the transcendental world to reveal on earth His eternal spiritual pastimes, and the great sage Vyasadeva carefully recorded them in a book called the Bhagavata Purana. Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is translated from that Purana by His Divine Grace A. C.

The Upanishads are the most sacred texts of the Hindu religion, considered to contain the ultimate truth and the knowledge that leads to spiritual emancipation.

The Ten Principal Upanishads is an introduction of the primary Upanishads to the uninitiated.

This work is, in the words of Madame Blavatsky, "meant for the few only". In the phraseology of this work, it is in-tended neither for those Ajnanis (or the worldly-minded), who welter in the sea of Samsara without being indifferent to the worldly things nor for those higher spiritual person ages who have reached a state of adeptship, so as to be above all advice. Hence it is written in the interests of those wbo have become indifferent to worldly things and crave for spirituality becoming a potent factor in their daily lives.

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.
