5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST BOOK, 9 Nov 1999
By A Customer
I've been reading and rereading Vasistha Yoga since 1992 and in all that time I can honestly say I have never come accross anything like it. As far as I am concerned it is peerless. It seems to be somewhat like a prism in that whatever your state of mind you can gain something from reading it. It reflects back something that is appropriate to where you are. Vasistha Yoga dispels many of the myths that seem to be strewn throughout most other books, traditions and schools (both ancient and modern) regarding enlightenment/liberation/realisation. I would say, however, that to really appreciate it you would probably need quite a good grounding in the vocabulary and concepts of yoga (although you would not neccessarily have to believe in any of them).

A Short Description:

Basically Vasistha Yoga is made up of a discourse between Vasistha - a great sage - and Rama who is a prince and a god, set in the cultural milieu of the Indian subcontinent at some mythical point several hundred years ago. In it Vasistha relates to Rama a series of stories about a wide range of individuals who have acheived enlightenment. These range from extremely short - a miser who finds the philosophers stone - to stories many pages long detailing how great sages attained enlightenment. These stories and legends are Vasistha's answers to Rama's questions concerning enlightenment.

5.0 out of 5 stars the supreme journey, 7 Jan 2009
By Paul (Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
I once heard an academic try to explain why a joke is funny. In essence, he explained that it is when thoughts are led down one path and then find themselves somewhere else.

Some time later I mused upon the profoundness of the experience of when the light first dawns that we are not in the world but the world is in us; that diversity is within the unity of pure consciousness. And in that fleeting moment when we first see this, a joy fills our heart with the divine 'humour' of it. It is a divine joke.

When I was a small boy my father proudly took me for a ride in his new car and I asked him how did the car know which way to go. He was puzzled and asked what I meant, "That light in front of you flashes every time just before you turn", I said. Of course he laughed at my lack of understanding that the flashing light did not make my father turn but it was my father who made the light flash. This simple story is sweet and funny; so too is there a joy and humour when we see that the world did not make 'me' but 'I' made the world.

The Vasistha leads us from path to path, until we find that time and space are made by our perception of them, that there was no Creation because noTHING was created, BUT when we accept the illusoryness of the World, the Vasistha takes us on another path and that sense of illusion is seen as also an illusion.

It is laudable to question reality but Vasistha enlightens Rama to the realisation that that is the wrong question to ask. It is as much a folly as asking which moon is real to a man with double vision - (or perhaps "How does the car know which way to go?)!

We are blessed that Swami Venkatesanada has translated and distributed the Vasistha and I am blessed that the book found its way to me. Through Vasistha's patient reiterations of parable, metaphor and riddle he has allowed the light to shine on truth beyond words.
