Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Hi I am also reading a book: The Serpent Power by Arthur Avalon. What do you think about this book? It do is more unaccesible than rest books of yoga I have read. Many words he doesn't explain, for example Sastra in Tantra-Sastra, what does this mean? Regards Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 To feel serpent power dont read any book Because the person who felt serpent power never speaks about. hence i suggest do meditation and get serpent power. namasivayam spiritualneed/ --- Lars Hedström <lars wrote: > Hi > > I am also reading a book: The Serpent Power by > Arthur Avalon.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 A lot of people in this group would consider Arthur Avalon to be the guru of gurus and his book, Serpent Power, to be the equivalent of the Bible. To me, he is knowledgeable person who has investigated many related paths. 'Sastra' is probably the same as 'shastra', just as 'Siva' is the same as 'Shiva'. Shastra, as you probably already know, means textbook. There are two views toward the shastras. The Bhagavad Gita says the shastras are a guide to determining appropriate behaviour and the Mahabrarata goes even farther and uses the term, shastra-yoga or yoga of the textbooks, implying that one can attain Self-realization from reading the shastras (of course, one has to understand what is being read). The other view is found in the Yoga Shikha Upanishad where it warns of shastra jala, the snare of textbooks, mere book learning without inner wisdom (a lot of which is in evidence in this and other internet clubs from time to time).

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Dear Friends: I received an invitation to join this group and have been reading with some interest the posts having background in Shakti Yoga. Arthur Avalon visited Sri Ramana Maharshi and asked him a variety of questions on yoga and tantra. Is anyone here familiar with his visit? I can post some of his questions and Bhagavan's answers if there is interest.
