A realized person from youth, Shrikrishna Kashyap (Dr. Shyam) was a masterful Ayurvedic physician and spiritual teacher whose penetrating interventions saved many souls and placed them firmly on the path of illumination and liberation. In Shrikrishna Kashyap: A Master, author Dr. Patricia Brown has compiled, in photos and a collection of his teachings, a memoir of this East Indian holy sage and doctor who imparted awe-inspiring wisdom throughout the world. Dr. Shyam, a healer of body, mind, and spirit, is known and appreciated for life-changing, wisdom-replete interventions. Brown offers a thorough look at this wise and special spirit. She shares messages he repeated over time, discusses his origins in India with his friends, creation of the Wisdom Wave Foundation started in the United States, philosophical thoughts on the universe, how he fostered the human constitution with Ayurvedic teachings, the basic trinity of conduct, and more. Culled from his quotations and texts and from his talks, videos, and audios of his teachings throughout thirty-three years, Shrikrishna Kashyap: A Master offers a collection of wise spiritual teachings of a man who worked tirelessly to guide others on a path of dignity, self-awareness, and emancipation.

Supplication captures a universal, cross-cultural approach to spirituality. Authored by Dr. Patricia Brown, The Supplicate Order defines supplication as an expression for the laws and principles that guide a spiritual aspirant toward communion with the sacred (mysteries), progressing toward an expanded perception of life and grateful reception of blessings, positive creativity, healing, and wisdom. It shows how humanity bridges the manifest explicate order and the unmanifest implicate order. Offering a fresh perspective on supplication, The Supplicate Order carries four messages that pertain to spiritual aspirants at any level: Don't abandon yourself (to self-loathing or to another person's or group's absolute power over you) Start with what you know to do (don't be too eager to get exotic or far removed from your resonant spiritual persuasion) Never think you know everything Don't give up Brown explains how key universal principles verify the human capacity to bring forth "gifts of the spirit," while psychological health and development determine invocatory efforts and receptive capacities. The Supplicate Order integrates global spiritual wisdom and psychological knowledge with the trends of new science, highlighting the human invocation of the sacred.

Description: The Upanisads which contain lofty philosophical teachings of the great seers constitute the most authoritative sourcebook for the Vedanta system of philosophy. However, there is no unanimity among the ancient exponents of Vedanta regarding the nature of the philosophy adumbrated in the Upanisads. Dr. Chari's scholarly work attempts to make a dispassionate study of the philosophical passages of the fourteen Principal Upanisads by giving due consideration to not only the comments of Samkara, Ramanuja and Madhva, but more importantly, the authoritative views of Badarayana as enshrined in his classic Vedantasutras. In the first part of the book, he presents the important passages of the Upanisads along with English rendering indicating the variations in the interpretation by the three commentators and also discusses their philosophical implications with reference to the Vedanta doctrines developed in the post Upanisadic period. In the second part he has attempted to consolidate the variety of philosophical thoughts scattered all over the Upanisads into coherent doctrines under five broad subjects: Brahman, jivatman, jagat, sadhana, and parama-purusartha. In the final chapter he conclusively establishes on the basis of an objective evaluation of the views of the commentators that the Upanisads do not support the main tenets of Advaita such as the concept of Nirvisesa Brahman, the identity of jivatman and Brahman, the phenomenal character of the jagat and the doctrine of maya. The author maintains with sufficient textual support that the nature of the philosophy advocated by the Upanisads is Theistic Monism (savisesadvaita). This book, which is the first of its kind, presents an authentic and comprehensive exposition of the philosophy of the Upanisads.
