A comprehensive handbook on herbal teas for health, pleasure, and daily ritual — organised by both plant and purpose. Situates the practice within the ecological understanding that medicine cannot be separated from the place that produced it.
Theodore Bryant’s 153-page practical guide to building self-discipline as a learnable skill — structured in ten daily chapters. A Western psychological companion to the tradition’s own analysis of vāsanā, saṃskāra, and the development of the stable mind that sustains practice.
A systematic approach to bringing yoga practice off the mat and into the rhythms of ordinary days — morning protocols, breath practice integrated with work, evening wind-down, and the understanding that every transition between states is an opportunity for awareness. Situates yoga as an ecological practice, not a fitness regime.
A practitioner’s guide to milam — dream yoga as transmitted through the Six Yogas of Nāropa. Covers the preparatory practices (recognition of the dream state, stabilisation, transformation), the relationship between milam and tummo, and the view that the dream state is an intermediate training ground for the bardo. For serious practitioners of Tibetan Buddhist tantra.
The makhan-chor cycle — Kṛṣṇa’s childhood thefts of butter in Braj — as a sustained text of Vaiṣṇava theology. The butter is śakti in its most condensed, most nourishing form; the theft is the divine’s refusal to be bound by propriety. Includes Sūrdās’s pada tradition, Yaśodā’s vision of the cosmos in Kṛṣṇa’s mouth, and the bhakti understanding that divine love exceeds all rule.
Osho’s discourses on the Īśāvāsya Upaniṣad — eighteen verses that open with the declaration that the entire universe is pervaded by the divine (īśāvāsyam idaṃ sarvaṃ). Osho reads the Upaniṣad as a teaching on renunciation without asceticism: possess nothing, enjoy everything. Copyright: Osho International Foundation. Routed to river_orion.
A 77-page bilingual edition of the Bhagavad Gītā presenting the complete Sanskrit Devanāgarī text alongside an English translation. All 18 adhyāyas — from Arjuna’s crisis on Kurukṣetra through Kṛṣṇa’s final teaching on action without attachment to fruit.
A 38-page guide from the Sound Yoga Academy mapping the cakra bīja seed syllables (LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, OM) and the mātr̥kā — the fifty Sanskrit phonemes as goddess forms distributed across the tantric body. Reference material for any cakra-based or tantric practice.
A classical manual on kuṇḍalinī practice — the preparation of body and nervous system (śarīra-śuddhi, nāḍī-śodhana, kriyā sequence), the cakra system as integrated map, and the understanding that the śakti is already present and the practice creates conditions for its movement.
A survey of yantra — the geometric support for meditation, mantra, and śakti — across the three major Hindu tantric currents. Covers the Śrī Yantra in detail (nine-triangle matrix, pañcadaśī encoding), Śaiva maṇḍala structures, and Vaiṣṇava diagrams. Situates yantra as sacred technology, not decorative art.
A careful, evidence-informed yoga therapy guide for women during and after breast cancer treatment — fatigue management, lymphedema precautions, gentle restorative sequences, and the psychological territory of healing a body that has been through medical intervention. Neither clinical nor sentimental; deeply respectful of the whole person.
A practical guide to yoga-based stretching — distinguishing the held, breath-integrated āsana from the ballistic stretch, addressing the role of the fascia, and organising sequences by joint group and daily need. For students and teachers who want a biomechanically grounded somatic entry point.
A practical pañcāṅga (Vedic almanac) covering the 2017 solar year, calculated for Sacramento CA by Science of Light. Includes retrograde cycles, nakṣatra transits, Vedic festivals with astronomical basis, and a section on muhūrta — the science of auspicious timing.
