Description
Of all the relationships possible on earth, that rare and timely combination known as guru/shishya, spiritual teacher and sincere disciple, transcends them all. And scarcely has that most intimate of connections been so well-documented as in the sweet and sacred friendship between Lord Vasishtha and the youthful Avatar, Sri Ramachandra.
Yoga Vasishtha, an ancient and beloved scripture, details a lesser known period of Sri Ram's youth not discussed in the traditional Ramayana. We meet a young Ramachandra struggling to awaken from the veil of maya, to pierce the shrouded domain of intellectual knowledge. He has seen the nature of Reality and cannot be fooled by the ephemeral attractions of conventional life. Yet, he fails to feel the peace and freedom such knowledge should bring. Stultified, Ramachandra turns to the great sage, Vasishtha, preceptor of his royal father's court, who then plunges him and all present into a spell-binding transmission of stories intent on exorcizing the subtle layers of illusion and confusion that inhabit the mind.
In A Quintessential Yoga Vasishtha, Babaji Bob Kindler offers a concentrated selection of these astonishing, esoteric stories, retold in a rich, contemporary style. The philosophical nature of Vasishtha's teachings are clarified via expanded dialog and detailed charts.
