Niissä esitetään Advaita Vedantan ei-kaksinainen opetus, ajoittain Gurun ja oppilaan kaksinpuhelun muodossa. Opastamalla oppilastaan Nidaghaa tällä tavoin, suuri Viisas Ribhu ilmestyy tällaisissa Upanishadeissa. Useammassa kuin kahdessa tuhannessa sanskritin säkeessä hän myös jättää perinnöksi opetuksensa absoluuttisen ei- kaksinaisuuden Totuudesta Ribhu Gitana, Viisas Ribhun ”lauluna”. The Sosiety of Abidance in Truth:lla on ilo tarjota, todella ensimmäistä kertaa, englanninkielinen käännös aidosta sanskritin tekstistä. Tätä teosta on työstetty varta vasten erityisellä huolellisuudella, kiitos siitä kokeneelle, omistautuneelle ja kielenkäännön oppineelle, Dr. H. Ramamoorthylle. Yhteistyössä hänen kanssaan Mestari Nome, varustettuna hengellisellä oivalluskyvyllään, edesauttoi esittämällä nämä säkeet käännökseksi, joka on sekä täsmällisen kirjaimellisen merkityksen että tekstin syvällisen hengellisen merkityksen täysin ilmaiseva. The Sosiety of Abidance in Truth:a (SAT) on siunattu tällä mahdollisuudella tehdä Ribhun ylevä teksti tavoitettavaksi hengellistä rikastumista varten sekä Ribhun viisauden uusille kuulijoille että niille monille lukijoille, jotka ovat kauan odottaneet täydellisen käännöksen ilmestymistä. Kaikki, jotka syvällisesti mietiskelevät tähän sisältyviä säkeistöjä, tulevat nauttimaan muinaisesta ja ajattomasta polusta Absoluutin toteuttamiseen. Sri Ramana Maharshi jakoi usein näiden säkeiden tamilinkielisen version omien oppilaidensa kanssa, ja SAT, syvästä kiintymyksestä Maharshiin, samoin hellii Viisas Ribhun hengellistä perintöä. Kuten Maharshin itsensä voittamaton opastus, Sri Ribhu sipaisee meitä mitä läpitunkevimmalla viisaudella, sillä ei ole olemassa korkeampaa opetusta. Ribhu Gita edustaa avaintekstiä Maharshin Advaita Vedantan teksteissä. SAT jatkaa tämän Maharshin pyhitetyn Advaita-tradition, Viisas Ribhun ja Upanishadien Rishien säilyttämistä ja levittämistä julkaisemalla tällaisia pyhiä tekstejä ja varaamalla pyrkijöille opastuksen harjaantua ja toteuttaa tämä Korkein Totuus Satsangassa. SAT kutsuu lämpimästi kaikkia, jotka tahtovat tavoitella tätä polkua ja Toteuttamista ja kaikkia, jotka tahtovat edesauttaa ja kannattaa näiden pyhien tekstien julkaisua, ottamaan yhteyttä Sosiety:in. SAT tahtoo vielä uudelleen lämpimästi kiittää armollista Dr. H. Ramamoorthya hänen taidokkaasta tutkiskelustaan ja tämän Ribhu Gitan sisältämien monien sanskritin säkeiden huolellisesta kääntämisestä. Kuten hänen tieteellisen tarkka ponnistelunsa Intian rikkaan hengellisen perinnön esittelemisensä, käännös inspiroi meitä kaikella nöyryydellään ja pyhyydellään. SAT on samoin kiitollinen pyhitettyjen hengellisten hakijoiden, jotka antoivat aikaansa ja energiaansa tätä julkaisua varten konekirjoittajina, oikolukijoina, toimittajina, taiteilijoina ja suunnittelijoina, epäitsekkäistä ponnisteluista. Sosiety tahtoo myös lausua julki syvän arvostuksensa Chris ja Inge Mairin ja Shanti Coblen ystävällisesti antamasta taloudellisesta tuesta, jota omistautumista vailla tämän pyhän teoksen julkaiseminen ei olisi ollut mahdollista. Ennen kaikkea, me kunnioitamme suuria Viisaita, jotka loistavat korkeinta Tietoa kaikkien nähtäväksi. Dr. John Stiga SAT:n Johtokunnan puolesta Avadhut Ashram, Sosiety of Abidance in Truth Santa Cruz, California 7 KÄÄNNÖKSEN MUISTIINPANOT Käännettäessä Ribhu Gitaa sanskritista englanniksi lähestymistavaksi on omaksuttu tekstin syvällisen, hengellisen merkityksen mieleen tuottaminen, mutta saman aikaisesti kääntäen niin sanatarkasti kuin mahdollista jokaisen säkeen sisältö. Paikoitellen tämä on johtanut epätavallisiin sanontatapoihin ja pilkkujen ja ajatusviivojen jatkuvaan käyttöön. Kuitenkin on toivottu lukijan löytävän lopputuloksesta onnellisesti mieleen juolahtavan sanatarkan merkityksen yhtä hyvin kuin hengellisen merkityksenkin, usein ihan tarkassa muodossa, jonka sanskritin sanat tuottavat. Milloin on mahdollista, on yritetty jäljentää julkaisun sanskritin laitoksen todellinen ulkomuoto, sellainen kuin sisennetty loppusäe tai säkeet, jotka esiintyvät jokaisen luvun loppupäätteessä. Kaikki englannin kielen käännöksen sanskritin termit on löydettävissä laaja-alaisesta sanastosta selittävin määritelmin. Muutamassa tapauksessa on lukemisen helpottamiseksi lisätty lyhytsanainen selite myös kaarisulkeissa tekstiin itseensä välittömästi sanskritin termin jälkeen. Muutamia sanskritin termejä käytetään vain kerran ja jos niistä ollaan sitä mieltä, ettei mitään Advaitan tietoon erityisesti kuuluvaa sisälly niihin, ne on yksinkertaisesti suppeasti täsmennetty kaarisulkeissa itse tekstissä, sisällyttämättä niitä itse sanastoon. Fraasien toistaminen on tahallista ja yhtä alkuperäisen tekstin kanssa. Yhtä lailla outo ja kömpelö lauserakenne paikoittain ei ole pelkästään epätavallista sanallista tyyliä vaan edustaa lujaa kiinnipysymistä alkuperäisen tekstin ilmaisussa, ja sen sisällön mietiskeleminen tulee tuottamaan näiden rivien syvällisen merkityksen paljastumisen. Tavallisesta tottumuksesta poiketen iso alkukirjain on otettu käyttöön avustuksena lukijoille Absoluuttia merkitsevien termien tunnistamista varten, kuten sanan ”Se” iso alkukirjain. Lainausmerkit eivät ilmene yksinomaan lainausten ympärillä vaan myös yksittäisissä sanoissa ja ilmaisuissa, ilmaisten että sellaisia sanontoja on kohdeltava niiden asioiden käsitteinä eikä asioina itsenään. Tätä on käytetty esimerkiksi tapauksissa, joissa termit, sellaiset kuin Itse, Korkein, Vapautuminen, jne., kielletään pelkkinä käsitteinä, muttei Itsen Totuutta tai Absoluuttia itseään. Hakasulkeet, [ ], merkitsevät kääntäjän tekemää liitettä ja toimittaja harkitsi tarpeelliseksi kääntää säe ymmärrettäväksi. Kolme pistettä (…), jotka ilmenevät muutaman kerran, ilmaisevat puuttuvaa tekstiä sanskritin painoksesta. Lopuksi, muttei todellakaan vähäpätöisimpänä, sanasto sisältää merkittävän määrän informaatiota, joka on melko välttämätöntä Ribhu Gitan

  • Mahanirvana Tantra
    Mahanirvana Tantra Tantra of the Great Liberation Translated by Arthur Avalon (Sir John Woodroffe) [1913] Introduction and Preface PREFACE THE Indian Tantras, which are numerous, constitute the Scripture (Shastra) of the Kaliyuga, and as such are the voluminous source of present and practical orthodox "Hinduism." The Tantra Shastra is, in fact, and whatever be its historical origin, a development of the Vaidika Karmakanda, promulgated to meet the needs of that age. Shiva says: "For the benefit of men of the Kali age, men bereft of energy and dependent for existence on the food they eat, the Kaula doctrine, O auspicious one! is given" (Chap. IX., verse 12). To the Tantra we must therefore look if we would understand aright both ritual, yoga, and sadhana of all kinds, as also the general principles of which these practices are but the objective expression. Yet of all the forms of Hindu Shastra, the Tantra is that which is least known and understood, a circumstance in part due to the difficulties of its subject-matter and to the fact that the key to much of its terminology and method rest with the initiate. The present translation is, in fact, the first published in Europe of any Indian Tantra. An inaccurate version rendered in imperfect English was published in Calcutta by a Bengali editor some twelve years ago, preceded by an Introduction which displayed insufficient knowledge in respect of what it somewhat quaintly described as "the mystical and superficially technical passages" of this Tantra. A desire to attempt to do it greater justice has in part prompted its selection as the first for publication.

In Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism, a chakra (Sanskrit: Cakra, Pali : Cakka, Tamil: chakra ) is thought to be an energy point or node in the subtle body. Chakras are believed to be part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such, are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels called nadi.

  • Origins of the Chakras by Simon Heather
    Origins of the Chakras by Simon Heather In this article I am attempting to go back to the original sources of information about the chakras. At the end of the article I have included a guide to the meanings of the Sanskrit words used. The Sanskrit word ‘chakra’ means ‘wheel’ or ‘discus’ and implies something that is turning or spinning. Chakras are energy centres that interpenetrate the physical body. The chakras are first referred to in the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad that is part of the Krishna Yajur Veda, said to be written between 1,400BC and 1,000BC. Other sources put the dates for the Upanishads as between 800BC and 400BC. Later Upanishads were written down between 200BC and 200AD, namely Shri Jabala Darshana Upanishad, Cudamini Upanishad, Yoga Tattva Upanishad, Yoga-Shikka Upanishad and Shandila Upanishad. These refer to chakras, the five elements and bija mantras. Yoga Kundalini Upanishad In the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad it says that their are six chakras plus Sahasrara the crown chakra. This Upanishad is divided into sections with various headings. Yoga Kundalini Upanishad - Introduction “The Chakras are centres of Shakti as vital force. These are the centres of Prana Shakti manifested by Pranavayu in the living body.” “Glory to Mother Kundalini who, through Her Infinite Grace and Power, kindly leads the Sadhaka from Chakra to Chakra and illumines him and makes him realise his identity with the Supreme Brahman!” Yoga Kundalini Upanishad - The Rousing of The Kundalini “Kundalini Yoga. Kundalini, the serpent-power or mystic fire is the primordial energy or Shakti that lies dormant or sleeping in the Muladhara Chakra, the centre of the body.
