Yoga Vasistha - The Art of Self Realization.pdf

One of the greatest spiritual classics ever recorded, the Yoga Vasistha is a mind blowing account of a
detailed conversation between Sri Rama and his Spiritual teacher Vasistha Maharshi. The book goes into
great detail surrounding the subtle intricacies of the mind, unraveling the multitude of layers to our very
existence along the way.
Much of the text is told through parable stories, which hold many hidden depths within them. The ongoing
theme throughout the book revolves around the notion of worldly miseries being caused by our own
illusion of the world, and how whatever we perceive on the outside is merely a reflection of how we feel
inside. Moving beyond these temporary illusions is the path to true enlightenment and Vasistha Maharshi
goes into great depth as to how such a journey can be undertaken.
Yoga Vasistha contains a system of ancient philosophical thought unique in its kind. Those whose minds
are turned away from the worldly desires and have become indifferent towards the objects of this world
and those who are longing for liberation will be really benefited by this book.
The nature of the stories and their deep rooted philosophies are designed to open our levels of
awareness, and legend states that those who complete the book will have their spiritual growth
significantly accelerated. Yoga Vasistha is the essence of all the Hindu Philosophical texts – Bhagawad
Gita, Vedas and Upanishads.
The nature of the ParaBrahma, Supreme God consciousness and the methods to attain Self Realization
are vividly described in this book.
