Gifts from the Goddess Selected Works of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati Original writings of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati

Gifts from the Goddess presents the essential teachings of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati, colloquially known as Guruji. Previously named Dr. N. Prahlada Sastry, Guruji left a prestigious position in India's missile defense complex to become a spiritual teacher in Hinduism's millennia-old school of Sri Vidya Tantra. Along the way, he discovered and revived a long-forgotten Goddess temple in a remote Indian jungle, traveled the globe teaching the powerful techniques of Sri Vidya, and attracted tens of thousands of followers worldwide. At the center of Gifts from the Goddess lie Guruji's two largest works: his 1994 opus, Understanding Sri Chakra Puja, and his stunning 1979 debut, Dasa Mahavidyas ("The Ten Great Wisdom Goddesses"). Both pieces have been revisited and updated by Guruji, and are presented here for the first time in their entirety. Gifts from the Goddess also includes other pieces of writing and lectures from throughout Guruji's career. Each reveals his inimitable voice and personality – lively, insightful, inspiring, and often humorous. His writing offers beautiful teachings on building and deepening one's spiritual practice. Discover his lessons on nurturing a relationship with the Divine (and the Universe), understanding the secrets of Tantra and Sri Vidya, incorporating a spiritual attitude into everyday life, and much more. _Hlk529370511 FINALBusiness_Plan FINALI_Was_There FINALOn_the_Guru FINALRole_of_the_Guru _Hlk522567697 _Hlk523784536 _Hlk7354726 FINALGuru_and_Disciple _Hlk6212863 _Hlk7356714 FINALBe_a_Light FINALTeacher_I_Am_Tired _Hlk7356322 FINALWho_Is_She _Hlk522568352 FINALSri_Upanishad _Hlk7359494 _Hlk7646899 _Hlk529454286 _Hlk529130881 _Hlk7647057 FINALSome_Impressions_on_Kunda FINALDurga_Suktam FINALDurga_Saptashati FINALLight_in_a_Dark_Room _Hlk529043759 _Hlk523692491 _Hlk528445212 _Hlk528445262 _Hlk6133403 FINALAjajaiyatri FINALPrayer_to_the_Goddess FINALWhat_Kamakhya_Told_Amrita FINAL_Ideas_of_Devipuram FINALUncovered_Awareness _Hlk528542978 FINAL_Fun_and_Spirituality FINALFirst_Some_Basics FINALWorship_With_and_Without_ FINALInfinity_of_Infinities _Hlk5837475 _Hlk5837446 FINALKarma_and_the_Environment FINALKarma_Freewill _Hlk7354386 FINALStilling_Thought _Hlk7875664 FINALThere_Is_No_Such_Thing_as _Hlk5832435 FINALVedic_and_Tantric FINALThe_Essence_of_Tantra FINALWorship_of_Lalita FINALIntroduction_to_Mantras-1 FINALTantra_of_Kamakhya FINALTantra_Yoga_Kundalini FINALThe_Real_Temples FINALKundalini_Healing _Hlk528525274 FINALMeaning_of_Siddhis _Hlk529045725 _Hlk528533502 FINALThe_Essence_of_Sri_Vidya FINALPower_Collective_Consciou FINALUnderstanding_Kaula_Achar _Hlk529550044 _Hlk529373122 _Hlk528536159 _Hlk512703542 FINALMenstruation_Temple_Pract _Hlk7914466 _Hlk6147123 FINALSeven_Mothers FINALFour_Seasons FINALUnion_Shiva_and_Shakti _Hlk528541906 _Hlk528543601 _Hlk528616578 _Hlk528616713 _Hlk523770219 _Hlk523769001 FINALThe_First_Guru_of_Sri_Vid FINALIntelligent_Triangles _Hlk528545011 _Hlk6953386 _Hlk6954754 _Hlk6959166 _Hlk6957009 _Hlk6960020 _Hlk6956264 _Hlk6960087 _Hlk6960142 _Hlk6954182 _Hlk6954317 _Hlk6956057 _Hlk6956297 _Hlk6956389 _Hlk6954149 _Hlk6960770 _Hlk6957348 _Hlk6958545 _Hlk6961044 _Hlk522891709 _Hlk529459980 _Hlk528658806 _Hlk523617346 _Hlk529193733 _Hlk529623074 _Hlk528653876 _Hlk7955474 _Hlk7956242 _Hlk528692478 _Hlk528693975 _Hlk529042912 _Hlk7961149 _Hlk529050186 _Hlk6133195 _Hlk6166088 _Hlk529058154 _Hlk7972826 _Hlk523302809 _Hlk8041220 _Hlk529083307 _Hlk529090331 _Hlk529120757 _Hlk7983616 _Hlk5830450 _Hlk529125701 _Hlk529132472 _Hlk6170748 _Hlk522780918 _Hlk522780919 _Hlk7985163 _Hlk529140251 _Hlk522780700 _Hlk522664025 _Hlk522659924 _Hlk529146270 _Hlk529147874 _Hlk8160552 _Hlk522800165 _Hlk523429426 _Hlk522820665 _Hlk523429750 _Hlk523428938 _Hlk522809667 _Hlk6175278 _Hlk523428014 _Hlk523428986 _Hlk523429692 _Hlk523429593 _Hlk523430233 _Hlk523430312 _Hlk523430272 _Hlk529192888 _Hlk6176467 _Hlk529740248 _Hlk522820749 _Hlk529133569 _Hlk523674446 _Hlk529400762 _Hlk522882946 _Hlk522889574 _Hlk522899149 _Hlk529401938 _Hlk529402351 _Hlk522959274 _Hlk522959736 _Hlk522961256 _Hlk522963689 _Hlk522964895 _Hlk523673508 _Hlk522965591 _Hlk522988644 _Hlk522974398 _Hlk523011492 _Hlk523052452 _Hlk529121022 _Hlk522992211 _Hlk523596229 _Hlk522994254 _Hlk523046786 _Hlk523588275 _Hlk522996274 _Hlk522997213 _Hlk523590585 _Hlk523000846 _Hlk523014056 _Hlk529132572 _Hlk529453129 _Hlk523522503 _Hlk523598422 _Hlk523064965 _Hlk523650769 _Hlk523651097 _Hlk523651397 _Hlk523651532 _Hlk523526665 _Hlk523527285 _Hlk523521353 _Hlk523521929 _Hlk523521985 _Hlk523526640 _Hlk523524657 _Hlk523521879 _Hlk523076435 _Hlk523526206 _Hlk523524749 _Hlk523079499 _Hlk523526232 _Hlk523080469 _Hlk523596411 _Hlk523528562 _Hlk523570532 _Hlk523082980 _Hlk523576258 _Hlk520415790 _Hlk523571267 _Hlk523577061 _Hlk523577116 _Hlk523577216 _Hlk523577369 _Hlk5827737 _Hlk5827871 _Hlk523086386 _Hlk523052966 _Hlk529458129 _Hlk529458206 _Hlk523653502 _Hlk529560462 _Hlk529122311 _Hlk529121244 _Hlk529122135 _Hlk529077777 _Hlk6131833 _Hlk529465736 _Hlk528591910 _Hlk529476633 _Hlk529476563 _Hlk529478361 _Hlk8159103 _Hlk8166706 _Hlk6135954 _Hlk529524998 _Hlk529484954 _Hlk8070813 _Hlk529531410 _Hlk522311262 _Hlk522313382 _Hlk8056888 _Hlk529547299 _Hlk529532984 _Hlk8159194 _Hlk522387927 _Hlk522376416 _Hlk522463626 _Hlk522315758 _Hlk8076259 _Hlk8159437 FINALInvite_Love FINALFlying_to_God FINALCompetition_Cooperation FINAL_Love_You_Must FINALThe_Pakoda_Loop FINALProphecy FINALFORWARDJanahan _Hlk6862575 _Hlk6862773 _Hlk528589696 _Hlk5747333 _Hlk5838568 _Hlk5749437 _Hlk529554871 _Hlk8254508 FINALFOREWORDSundari_Amma _Hlk529554656 _Hlk7993071 _GoBack _Hlk529621971 _Hlk6214182 _Hlk6213847 _Hlk6213920 _Hlk7914992 _Hlk5832629 _Hlk528456488 _Hlk6953733 _Hlk528654108 _Hlk529062010 _Hlk8160611 _Hlk523010587 _Hlk8048658 _Hlk529057726 _Hlk522440132 _Hlk522440990 _Hlk529550264 _Hlk529555294 _Hlk8080578 A Note from Guruji Amma Foreword: Performing a Successful Transplant Gifts from the Goddess A Note on Sanskrit Transliteration Sanskrit Pronunciation Guide Selected Works Of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati Who Is He?
