Vedantic Meditation by David Frawley

Vedantic Meditation by David Frawley

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.

Since 1970, David Frawley has been a student of Ramana Maharashi's teachings and has contributed to their publication The Mountain Way. He is a visiting lecturer at the Sringeri Shankaracharya Math, India's oldest vedantic center, and has received the Shankaracharya's personal blessings. He lectures at Vedantic centers in the United States and is one of the few Westerners acknowledged by the Vishva Hindu Parisha, the world's largest Hindu religious organization, as an authentic Vedantic teacher. In Santa Fe, New Mexico, Frawley is the director of the American Institute of Vedic Studies.
