Ganesh Puja Advanced

This is a step-by-step guide to the worship of Lord Ganesh. In this comprehensive puja instruction, Swamiji reveals the secrets of puja to Lord Ganesha, the God of Wisdom, in four simple steps: invitation, invocation, offering and union. “Without Wisdom it is impossible for any seeker to unlock the doors to the secrets of enlightenment. Ganesha grants that boon.” ~ Swamiji

The Ganesh Puja Advanced is an expansion of Swamiji’s original Beginner Ganesh Puja, adding many new stotrams, like Ganeshashtakam and Ganesh Sahasranam. It is recommended for all devotees of Ganesh.

Pancharatna Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is considered the essence of the Vedas and Upanishads. In Vaishnava tradition there are five jewels which surround the Bhagavad Gita: Gita Mahatmyam, Vishnusahasranam, Bhishmastavaraja, Anusmriti, and Gajendra Moksha. These five ornaments enhance the beauty of the Gita, and and create a sadhana which is a stepping stone to the Chandi Samputs.

Durga Puja Advanced

The Durga Puja Advanced App is an invaluable reference tool to learn the worship of Goddess Durga. The Advanced Puja is significantly more sophisticated than the original Durga Puja Beginner, adding several viddhis and stotrams, including the Durga Sahasranam. This App guides the spiritual seeker toward union with Durga, the Goddess who takes away confusion, replacing it with stillness and clarity. The Durga Puja Advanced App is recommended for all devotees of Durga, especially for those who wish to keep the Navaratri Vrats.

Spiritual Business

Spiritual Business tells stories from the life of a wandering mendicant, which taught him how to organize his material life, and he was ultimately blessed with such success, that he was able to finance a series of ashrams around the world, as well as the spiritual pursuits of a number of seekers by following the rules of financial analysis and stock trading. This is a fabulous resource for anyone trying to harmonize their spiritual life with their material responsibilities.
