                           About the Sanskrit Classics
                           ___________________________



    In the West, a tendency has been developed by some vested interest groups to
sponsor some Indian Yogis and slowly influence them to agree with the group's
interest in starting non-profit organizations and foundations. This trend began 
to rise in the twenties and fully matured in the sixties. These groups started 
commercially oriented retreats and communities to profit and enhance their 
security umbrella. Such things may be legal, but in the spiritual perspective 
they are the negative temptation of those spiritual organizations and publishing
companies who water down the original, authentic message of ancient Vedic Wisdom
in the name of making it more effective, practical and popular. In fact, they 
want to accommodate their weaknesses. It seems they  have lost  respect and 
regard for the eternal character of a message which does not leave any room for 
changes and alterations. That is why The Sanskrit Classics is dedicated to 
present the original, authentic information of the eternal message of Vedic 
Culture. 


    Some of the Sanskrit Classics publications include:


1. Babaji: The Divine Himalayan Yogi. Contains the author's first hand 
experiences with Babaji, discourse on Kriya Yoga, discussions of spiritual 
disciplines revealed by Babaji; the universality of his character in the light 
of eternity. 

2. Babaji: The Divine Himalayan Yogi - a dramatic reading of the book Babaji, on
four custom packaged 90-minute tapes. 

3. Bibles:. For the first time in the history of the world, the first five books
of the Old Testament and the entire New Testament are explained and interpreted;
all the mysteries of the Revelations chapter are deciphered in the "light of 
inner Realization." The real apocalypse is unveiled. The Bhagavad Gita and the
Quran are also included in this edition.

4. Lahiri Mahasay: The Father of Kriya Yoga. The authentic biography of the 
great, secret spiritual master. Describes all the original Kriyas. Contains the 
genuine networking of Kriya channels of permitted principal disciples. 

5. Kebalananda and Sriyukteswar. Complete Biographies of two world Masters,

6. Biography of a Yogi. The biography of Satyananda, Sriyukteswar's chief 
monastic disciple in the West. The book contains many stories about mystic 
saints of India, as related directly to the author, who spent 20 years learning 
the secret intricasies of yoga from Satyananda.

7. The Mahabharata. The world's greatest classical spiritual epic has been 
interpreted in the light of of Inner Realization for the first time by Swami 
Satyeswarananda Giri Maharaj, the Himalayan Yogi (and direct associate of 
the Divine Himalayan Yogi Mahamuni Babaji), Sanskrit scholar and former attorney/professor of law. This unique book contains commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita 
by Lahiri Mahasay (Father of Kriya Yoga). The entire Mahabharata is presented ina condensed form with fascinating spiritual stories depicting important 
personalities that have several incarnations background within the seeker's
inner war. The beauty of this spiritual classic is that the actual 
Kurushetra war is interpreted from the viewpoint of Inner Realization.

    "Sri Mat Swami Satyeswarananda Giri Maharaj-ji is translating the writings 
(commentaries, personal Letters and advice) of Lahiri Mahasay into English and 
is publishing them in America. Swamiji Maharaj has written an unique and 
comprehensive biography of Lahiri Mahasay. To translate Lahiri Mahasay's 
writings is not an easy task. Swamiji's teaching of Kriya in the West and works 
on Lahiri Mahasay's writings to straighten the proper perspective are really 
very praiseworthy." Bilwadal, Vol-20 pp 95-96
