Book Reviews of Vedantic Meditation: Lighting the Flame of Awareness
Book Review: A Small Book Of Wisdom..Great Primer..
Summary: 5 Stars
Sincere in tone, lucid in style, Dr Frawley's book on Veda is a wonderful study on the subject for the new comer and a book that is concise in outlining concepts for further study and introspection for those that are more familiar.
Of particular note is the clarity of the presentation in drawing distinctions between Buddhism and Veda (as well as similarities),explaining key points made by great individuals such as Ramana Maharshi,Krishnamurti and others, delving into key psychological concepts allowing one to see how Jung was readily influenced by these teachings, where a Freud would not be, and while Adler's disbelief in ego would allow for a "guiding fiction" jiving well with the eternal Self if taken either as a reality or an idea. Social interest and harmony with ALL remains the goal, This Is It.
Not to fall into illusion which can be labelled neurosis, bad faith or inauthenticity is a worthwhile pursuit no matter how it is classified.A wonderful introduction and a sincere work.
Summary of Vedantic Meditation: Lighting the Flame of Awareness
As yoga gains popularity across the U.S., many people are becoming interested in its traditional Vedic roots. While Buddhist meditation is well represented on bookshelves, there has been little Vedantic philosophy written in lay terms until now. Author David Frawley guides readers through the challenges of cultivating awareness, calming the mind, and practicing meditation according to Vedanta and Hinduism. He examines how cultural knowledge systems in the West lead individuals to disillusionment, and speaks about how meditation can aid in understanding the true nature of one's thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. Frawley explores meditation support practices such as yoga, mantras, kundalini, and pranayama, as well as the role of gurus, and concludes with a short, more technical essay on self-inquiry.Meditations Books
