The Key to Unlock Limitless Wisdom and Creativity and Solve All of Life's Challenges by Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev) Your Conscience is a clear, concise, and logical introduction to how your mind works. This short, powerful book is the perfect entry point for readers who want to live a more fulfilling and healthy life. Using everyday language, Your Conscience illuminates the truth that the wisdom and creativity we seek is already within us. We just need the right tools to access it. Your Conscience presents a simple explanation of The Four Functions of the Mind: senses, ego, unconscious, and the Conscience. Readers are taught how, and why, to coordinate these four functions to live the joyful life we all long for. By employing this practical knowledge, readers can realize immediate benefits through simple, empowering experiments offered at the end of the book. These include food choices, focusing attention, easy breathing exercises, preparing for sleep, telling the truth, and strengthening relationships: experiments that teach beginners how to rely on the Conscience for every decision, in every relationship. Wisdom, creativity, love, joy, and good health will inevitably follow. This timely book describes our Conscience as the key to unlock our own brilliant insight. No one is excluded from the fulfillment of this promise. We only need the guidance of a loving teacher. Leonard Perlmutter is that teacher, and he has offered each of us a very practical gift through Your Conscience.

To understand death, a person must try to understand the purpose of life and the relationship between life and death. The two are partners, each providing a context for the other. Death is not a period, but merely a pause on a long journey. When life and death are accepted as having real meaning and purpose, and death is understood and accepted as part of the human journey, then the fear of death disappears and life can be lived fully. This book is about the relationship between life and death, and the 'how and why' of organizing one's life in a way that leads to expansion and growth, and that is helpful in preparing for the transition we call death.
This book shows how to maintain a joyful view of life and how to transform habit patterns.

Easwaran takes one of India's classic wisdom texts, the Katha Upanishad, and explains how it embraces all the key ideas of Indian spirituality within the context of a powerful mythic quest - the story of a young hero who ventures into the land of death in search of immortality. Illustrating the insights of the Katha through analogies and everyday examples, Easwaran shows how these ancient teachings help us gain a deeper understanding of our world and ourselves today.
The Bhagavad Gita is the fountainhead of Eastern psychology, and this new, authoritative translation and commentary is designed to draw out the psychological concepts of this immortal text and make them accesible to all students. The author focuses on the relevance of these principles to today's world and explains their practical application in daily life. The author shows how each of the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita constitutes a separate lesson in truth and life. Each chapter describes a different aspect of the process of Self-realization, and the practices themselves progress toward the goal of life.
In this CD, meditation teacher and philosopher Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev) guides you on how to experience consciousness yourself. By using this CD you can learn how to deal with distractions, reduce stress, enhance your body’s immune system and become more focused, creative and content.
Why They Can Never Be Taken From You by Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev) What if Life, Liberty, and Happiness are not goals to achieve, but truths to realize? In this concise and thought-provoking work, Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev) reveals that the most cherished ideals of the American Declaration of Independence are not merely political principles, but expressions of a deeper spiritual reality. Drawing from the timeless wisdom of Yoga Science, he shows that the human longing for Life, Liberty, and Happiness reflects our Essential Nature—Sat, Chit, and Ananda. Through clear reasoning and practical insight, this book guides the reader from outward seeking to inward understanding, offering a direct path to clarity, freedom, and lasting fulfillment.What we seek is not outside us. It is what we are.
An inspiriting guide to the systematic science of the path to meditation. Shows how to understand the mind.
Getting caught in unwanted thoughts and emotions can feel like an inevitable part of life. But Eknath Easwaran, a world-famous spiritual teacher who taught meditation for nearly 40 years, shows a way to break free. Just as a fitness routine can result in a strong, supple body, spiritual disciplines can shape a secure personality and a resilient, loving mind. Best of all, these opportunities to grow stronger spiritually arise not only during meditation but throughout the day. Whether working with difficult colleagues, going out to eat, or responding to a child’s needs, readers learn how to try out different, wiser choices. With humor and empathy, Easwaran places timeless teachings from the Buddha and other mystics into contemporary scenes — watching a juggler on the street, taking a tennis lesson, going to the theater. Training the mind is life’s biggest adventure, and Conquest of Mind shows how this practice brings deepening relationships, increasing vitality, and a greater sense of purpose.

This collection of the timeless teachings of one of the greatest sages of India, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, is a testament to the uniqueness of the seer's life and work and is regarded by many as a modern spiritual classic. I Am That (first published in 1973) continues to draw new audiences and to enlighten seekers anxious for self-realization. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj was a teacher who did not propound any ideology or religion, but gently unwrapped the mystery of the self. His message was simple, direct, and sublime. I Am That preserves his dialogs with the followers who came from around the world seeking guidance in destroying false identities. The sage's sole concern was with the human suffering and the ending of suffering.
