5.0 out of 5 stars Meditation, A Journey of Exploration: Based on the Teachings of VedantaReviewed in Brazil on 26 August 2021
Verified Purchase
A very well written book, in usual English, well organized, allowing fluid reading, considering it is a practice manual. It was the best text on meditation I have read so far. In addition to suggesting techniques, he clarifies the objectives of each one, their benefits and their connections with Vedanta knowledge.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great spiritual text, unfortunately I cannot read it on my Kindle-DeviceReviewed in Italy on 22 October 2020
Verified Purchase
The book is very well written, simple, but profound, great teacher!
Unfortunately it cannot be read on my Kindle-Device, but only on the PC or Tablet. It's a strange "kindle"- format, similar to a PDF, with a fixed layout, not a text-based Format. Very annoying...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not formatted properly for an ebookReviewed in the United States on 1 January 2024

The book reads like a pdf but you cannot save any notes that have Sanskrit words, no Devanagari or the transliterations. Nor can you search any of those words. If you search for prānāyāma, 0 matches are found. However, the content is excellent and very much worth reading. Videos by Swami Tadatmananda of the same content are on YouTube.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book itself is good, Kindle version lacks basic functionalityReviewed in the United States on 1 October 2023
Verified Purchase
People have done a great job of reviewing the book itself. I'm only reviewing to let people know the kindle version is seriously lacking. You can't change the font, there's no shortcuts to jump to whatever chapter. I haven't read a lot of Kindle books but I had just assumed these were basic features all kindle books had. Apparently not. I dunno if this is the fault of the author/publisher or Amazon. I wonder about the Kindle publishing process and how that works. Anyway, if you're debating then go with the physical book.

Practicing mindfulness
Meditation calm the waves of mind and experience peace from divine source within the body (Prakriti) and soul (Atma). In the first chapter, Swami Tadatmananda describes meditation as a skill to learn and practice. He emphasizes on developing these skills and build a structured practice. He frequently refers to Bhagavad-Gita, especially the sixth chapter where Lord Krishna teaches Arjuna about the posture, concentration, and mental discipline that prescribes a particular object of meditation to concentrate upon. Where necessary Swamiji also quotes extensively from the Principal Upanishads about consciousness, Yoga Philosophy, and mediation. He describes meditation is an exploration of the inner terrain and its depth. By his method, over time, you can learn to lead your mind to a place of profound silence and develop the capacity for laser-like concentration and to remain deeply absorbed for extended periods of time. Bliss is an inner-most experience and the essential nature of the experiencer.
Swami Tadatmananda’s profound exploration of yogic practice is based ancient Hindu scriptures that masterfully articulates meditation and the needed exercises. I very much enjoyed reading this book that is built upon the concepts of Patanjali’s yoga sutra.
