Book review:

This is one of those books that the mind does not want to read. Georg and Brenda pose the punch-you-in-the-gut question “How realistic is it to expect to attain individual serenity in a troubled sociocultural and natural environment?” Then they go on to explain how we do this through a process they call “sattvification,” which is a purifying that involves mindfulness and activism in relation to both the mind and the world. This book is a powerhouse. It is essential reading for Yogis and Yoginis who want to be part of the solution rather than a blind part of the problem. It is a challenge to act—Karma Yoga—not just sit on your butt in meditation.

Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati

“My heart was bleeding when reading Green Yoga. I pray that everyone will read this book and start to serve Mother Earth, so that she may survive. I hope that at least Yoga practitioners, who have faith in the evolution of humankind, make it their mission to bring about the necessary transformation.”

B. K. S. Iyengar

From the book:

"Above all, we must cultivate great compassion for our fellow beings, including all nonhuman creatures with whom we share this precious planet and upon whom we have inflicted so much suffering because of our profligate and largely irresponsible lifestyle."

"Yoga practitioners, we feel, have a particular obligation to live in a green way, mainly because this reflects the essence of the tradition which they espouse."

"We are calling on all Yoga practitioners to intensify their practice by becoming viras, or "heroes," in the old sense of the word, who put the common weal before their own consumerist comfort and uninspected predilections."

"The time has come to live Yoga with as much heartiness and genuineness as we can possibly muster. If Yoga practitioners won't respond to this unique and perilous crisis, who will?"

Let us use this planetary crisis as a unique opportunity to grow as individuals and as a species.

This site is devoted to presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of the Tradition of the Himalayan masters in simple, understandable and beneficial ways, while not compromising quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or practices is the highest Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is one and the same with the Absolute Reality. This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which complement one another like fingers on a hand. We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha, and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the Absolute.
