The Yoga of Siddha Boganathar

Description

Boganathar was the Siddha guru of Kriya Babaji Nagaraj, the famed Himalayan master, of whom much has been written. Boganathar lived an extremely long life through the use of alchemical rejuvenation formulae and special breathing techniques. He traveled all over the world, chronicled the lives of Siddhas much older than himself, and provided his disciples an illumined path to Self-realization and integral transformation of human nature into divinity. His astounding life provides a shining example of our human potential. The present work provides a biography of Boganathar, as we can glean it from his writings alone, as well as introductory chapters on the Siddha tradition and Kundalini Yoga. The present work also provides a translation and commentary of about seventy-five selected poems, which serious students of all traditions of Kundalini Yoga and Tantra will find illuminating. By meditating upon the verses, the reader will be able to draw much inspiration. The present work provides a word-by-word translation, with alternative meanings, as well as a literal translation, and finally an interpretative translation, to balance the need for precision and understanding and to facilitate a deeper meditative approach to the various layers of meaning of each verse. Review: Comprehensive - Just the meticulously researched Appendix material alone is worth the price of this book. Kudos to the author for this gem of a book on Bogar Siddhar! Review: Highly recommended for spiritual aspirants - I began reading this book after beginning practising Babaji’s Kriya Hatha Yoga (Ashtanga Yoga). It is absolutely phenomenal. The book contains the original twilight messages of Babaji’s gurudeva, Boganathar, accompanied by their multiple English translations. I learnt so much from this book. It tells exactly what one needs to do to achieve liberation. It isn’t impossible. One only needs to desire it more than anything in this whole world. Powerful verses that taught me things I never knew of ever before!!!! True seekers of truth need it read this. They will be cleared of so many doubts and confusions. You won’t have to go around in circles when you start reading verses from Babaji’s own gurudeva. Highly recommended to spiritual aspirants.
