The Elixir of Mystical Experience: Amrutanubhava (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692961988)

This book is a fictionalized version of Saint Jnaneshwars great philosophical work Amrutanubhava that contains the quintessential knowledge of Kundalini yoga. It describes the journey of Nivritti, a boy living in rural India as he goes in search of spiritual enlightenment. His journey involves visiting the seven sages that bestow this knowledge. The journey sees him meet Lord Shiva and his consort Shakti. They explain to him the nature of the manifest and un-manifest universe. Nivritti then meets his guru Gahnininath who initiates him with a dhiksha that transfers spiritual energy into him and allows him to start experiencing transcendental states. The boy's journey continues where each sage he meets reveals to him the nature of sound, pure knowledge, existence, consciousness and bliss. He also encounters gurus that teach him about the use of words and the nature of relative knowledge and ignorance. The book culminates in his enlightened state. The chapters of the story correspond to the knowledge outlined in the original text of Amrutanubhava. Also included are various techniques from the yogic text Vijnana Bhairava which outlines meditation techniques that the reader can use for achieving states of heightened consciousness.
