The Complete Master Course Series

This book contains some information that has never been published before and all of it is vital to your own awakening on the road to uniting with God. You will discover these profound truths and insights of Indian spirituality inside its pages. Dancing with Siva is the first book of a unique trilogy that is collectively referred to as The Master Course. It represents the culmination of fifty years of yogic realisations and the sharing of the Hindu mystical teachings with aspirants. The trilogy is a comprehensive overview of astanga yoga, which is also known as raja yoga. Astanga yoga is comprised of eight distinct stages, each of which is reliant upon the step that came before it. These eight processes are known as yama (restraint), niyama (observance), asana (posture), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (intense concentration) (contemplation).

The trilogy elucidates, in clear and concise words, why one must start at the beginning, with a solid foundation consisting of philosophical coherence and moral excellence, and then progress from there. The book "Dancing with Siva" explains the philosophical and Vedic-Agamic ideas, attitudes, and expectations that are central to the Saivite school of Hinduism.

The second book in the trilogy is titled Living with Siva, and it delves into the Saivite way of life, as well as its culture, family dynamics, character development, and the overpowering of negative routines. If emphasises yama and niyama, in addition to pranayama and asana, although to a lesser extent (hatha yoga).

Merging with Siva is the third book in the trilogy, and it covers steps five, six, and seven. These steps lead to step eight, which is the deeper realisations, samadhis, yogic experiences, and mystical encounters, such as the inner light and nada-nadi sakti, all of which we begin to experience once we learn how to dance with Siva and how to live with Siva. Merging with Siva can be purchased here. The yogic and metaphysical experiences that are detailed in Merging with Siva come about spontaneously and may be maintained if one first has a strong foundation of knowledge.
