Living Mantra is an anthropology of mantra-experience among Hindu-tantric practitioners. In ancient Indian doctrine and legends, mantras perceived by rishis (seers) invoke deities and have transformative powers. Adopting a methodology that combines scholarship and practice, Mani Rao discovers a continuing tradition of visionaries (rishis/seers) and revelations in south India’s Andhra-Telangana. Both deeply researched and replete with fascinating narratives, the book reformulates the poetics of mantra-practice as it probes practical questions. Can one know if a vision is real or imagined? Is vision visual? Are deity-visions mediated by culture? If mantras are effective, what is the role of devotion? Are mantras language? Living Mantra interrogates not only theoretical questions, but also those a practitioner would ask: how does one choose a deity, for example, or what might bind one to a guru? Rao breaks fresh ground in redirecting attention to the moments that precede systematization and canon-formation, showing how authoritative sources are formed.

Ram Dass introduced Maharajji Neem Karoli Baba to Western spiritual seekers of the 60s and 70s. "It All Abides in Love" offers a contemporary view of this remarkable and completely enigmatic Indian sadhu, a spiritual renunciate who had more of an impact on America than anyone knows. Maharajji is known as the Miracle of Love. Maharajji raised the dead, turned water into milk or gasoline, made Himself and others with Him to become invisible, cured many diseases, and never really gave any formal 'teachings'. And it is still happening. Who is Maharajji Neem Karoli Baba? That is explored by the author in this thought provoking book. All of us have so much that we can learn from Maharajji about how to be a force for good in the world. This is about finding the most precious lotus flower jewel amazing person of light and love. A little man in a little world who was actually bigger than all of the universe, if one believes the reports. Maharajji's images and stories ARE The Story, and they are worthy of the deepest contemplation. Indeed, perhaps you can learn to do your own miracles. Maharajji manipulated this game in such perfect ways, and yet He always remains hidden, as even now. "It All Abides in Love (Hindi Version)" is also available with the title "Prem MeN Sarvasava Basti Hai."

Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, this is Volume 6 of the nine volume series constituting 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda'. In these volumes we have not only a gospel to the world at large, but also, to its own children, the Charter of the Hindu faith. For the first time in history, Hinduism itself forms here the subject of generalization of a Hindu mind of the highest order. What Hinduism had needed was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea, a rock where she could lie at anchor, and an authoritative utterance in which she might recognise herself. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both are found in the words and writings of Swami Vivekananda. It is the latest gospel of a modern Prophet of religion and spirituality to the mankind.
