An Advaita Vedanta philosophy site, focusing on Realization, enlightenment, nisarga yoga, non-duality (nonduality), your original nature, dwelling as your natural state, and the teachings of Maharaj.

BEGINNING TOMORROW, UPCOMING DISCUSSIONS WILL ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED:

***How can I know if a teacher is Fully Realized?

***What does it matter if I use the term “God” as long as I know it refers to Brahma or even Brahman?

***You mentioned in an e-mail to my friend a vocabulary of realization and an Advaita-style vocabulary of sanity and non-delusion. Explain, please.

***Why not turn it over to God if that allows people to stop worrying?

***Why do I need to read books about Advaita if the truth is already within me?

For today, a response is being announced to all of the seekers who have asked that Henderson Books offer eBook versions. Some have written from inside the U.S., but most have been international seekers who are concerned that shipping can add as much as three or four times the cost of the book to their total order.

So, now being offered in eBook format are (A) four discount package deals (B) thirteen of eighteen single titles and (C) an option for sending a gift to anyone of your choice as long as they have an e-mail address. These options now provide the following:

**REDUCED PRICES ON MOST TITLES

**NO SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES

**PROMPT RECEIPT OF BOOKS

[Note: You will need one of the free, downloadable PDF readers such as Abode to open and read the eBook version.]

Savings example:

FROM THE I TO THE ABSOLUTE:

U.S.: $12.00 instead of $25.78 (book + S&H)

INTERNATIONAL: $13.75 instead of $50.64 (book + international S&H)

(The difference in U.S. vs. International pricing is a result of the fact that our credit card company is now charging higher processing fees for international orders which will need to add $1.75 per book)

After negotiations are completed with PayPal and a third party distributor of the eBooks offered here, the price of each eBook will have to increase. For now, the following eBook versions are available at the temporarily-reduced rate that is listed below:

1. From the Absolute to the Nothingness ($10.00)

2. Consciousness/Awareness ($10.00)

3. From the I to the Absolute (A Seven-Step Journey to Reality) ($12.00)

4. The Essence of the Teachings ($9.00)

5. What Happens When I Die? ($9.00)

10. Self-Transformation Meditation Guide I ($9.00)

11. Self-Transformation Meditation Guide II ($9.00)

Five Free eBooks

Compliments of Andy Gugar, Jr.,
the following eBooks are available without charge for you or for friends:

I.
"GOOD vs. EVIL?" or "IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY, and INSANITY?"

The content of this eBook deals with one of the most common but erroneous beliefs that the non-Realized masses cling to and which they will fight about (and even kill over), namely, that there is a planet-wide duel going on between “the forces of good and evil” in the universe.

Either (1) the ancient view is spot on: that the "ills of the planet" are rooted in evil people, in people not being religious enough or spiritual enough, and are caused solely by bad morality; or, (2) the "ills of the planet" are rooted in ignorance, stupidity and insanity and "being good" or "being moral" does not put an end to ignorance, does not eliminate stupidity, and does not treat insanity in any way.

II.
"THE VISION"

Comments regarding the free eBook entitled “THE VISION”:

“My thanks to you and Andy.” – Andrew “Mac” McMaster

“Thanks so much for the book! And, by the way, it is brilliant and the most effective pointing that you have done. It has served to help clear the remaining blockages.” – Stan Cross

“Greatly appreciate having “THE VISION” added to my Henderson resource library that is situated on the right side of my bed for easy access! Eternally grateful for what was received and what was given.” – Robert Rigby

“‘THE VISION’ is such a well-written, condensed version of the Nisarga Yoga approach to understanding and enjoying Reality that I feel it can serve as a must-read ‘meditation guide’ for all earnest seekers.” – Andy Gugar, Jr.

III.
"Sapolsky, Maharaj, and the Non-Dual Teachings"

Dr. Robert Maurice Sapolsky is an American neuroendocrinologist; a professor of biology, neuroscience, and neurosurgery at Stanford University; a researcher; an author; and a Research Associate at the National Museums of Kenya.

There is much that a non-dualist or Advaitin or Nisargan can relate to by comparing and contrasting what Sapolsky reveals about the way certain troops of baboons live in Africa with the way that humans abide all around the globe.

This 152-page eBook catalogues the common, non-dual message shared by Sapolsky and Maharaj and reveals the ways that Sapolsky’s scientific research supports the non-dual pointers offered by Maharaj.

IV.
Seeking

In “PART ONE” it will be seen that most persons on the planet are not seeking, and most will never seek, but for those who are seeking, most will face several obstacles:

In “PART TWO” of this book, it will be seen why many criticized Maharaj for “changing his message in his later talks.” It will be seen that the changes were not about changing the message per se as much as about changing his methodology as he experimented with one version of the Ultimate Medicine after another in order to try to find an effective means for addressing the Ultimate Sickness.

He tried a religious version of the Medicine, a Spiritual version of the Medicine, and finally settled on a version which addressed to Sickness at its core . . . at the mental and emotional level.

V.
"THE MOST DANGEROUS BELIEF OF ALL"

“Dangerous” is a term that can only apply during the relative existence, but of those who do commit suicide, for example, how many shoot themselves in the foot over and over until they “bleed out”? None. They shoot themselves in the head. Why? In order to try to stop the noise - to try to stop the chatter of a thousand monkeys – to stop the noisy mind which is the area that stores the ideas, notions, concepts, mind-stuff, etc. which drives them into the depths of insanity.

And what are those ideas, notions, concepts, etc. called, collectively? "Their beliefs." The irony? They are not their beliefs at all. They are the beliefs of “others” that were set in place via programming, conditioning, etc. and which persons then think are their own.

And what are those beliefs rooted in, and what reinforces those beliefs and convinces persons that they are sacred and worth fighting over and even sometimes worth dying for? Blind faith.

This 337-page eBook discusses those issues in detail.
