Vedantic Meditation: Lighting the Flame of Awareness

Do yourself a favor and read this book. If you're interested in gaining a clearer view of the landscape of love, this is for you.

Sincere in tone, lucid in style, Dr Frawley's book on Veda is a wonderful study on the subject for the new comer and a book that is concise in outlining concepts for further study and introspection for those that are more familiar.Of particular note is the clarity of the presentation in drawing distinctions between Buddhism and Veda (as well as similarities),explaining key points made by great individuals such as Ramana Maharshi,Krishnamurti and others, delving into key psychological concepts allowing one to see how Jung was readily influenced by these teachings, where a Freud would not be, and while Adler's disbelief in ego would allow for a "guiding fiction" jiving well with the eternal Self if taken either as a reality or an idea. Social interest and harmony with ALL remains the goal, This Is It.Not to fall into illusion which can be labelled neurosis, bad faith or inauthenticity is a worthwhile pursuit no matter how it is classified.A wonderful introduction and a sincere work.

Excellent book on Vedanta for both beginners and advanced practitioners, Frawley writes clear, concise and very helpful descriptions and insights on this most ancient of belief systems. I have a library of over 1000 spiritual books and this one is in my regular rotation of Top 20 Books for -re-reading on a regular basis, since the mind continues to always fall back into its old habitual patterns of egocentric thinking, one must be vigilant in taming the monkey mind and its fascination with the illusory, material world. This book, coupled with regular daily meditation practice will go a long way toward realization.

This is an excellent book, useful to any spiritual seeker.

Anyone in need of rest in mind and heart will by reading this get a practical guide to the source teaching - the Veda, behind all the latest ‘mindfulness’ concepts. Why not go to the source?

Fantastic delve into Vedanta, Dr. Frawley delivers again. Love the format of the delivery.

This is a fine work on the art on awareness and the unknown, and clinging to the known. I find David Frawley a western treasure, that has provided otherwise inaccessible access to Vedic Sanskrit knowledge and practices especially mantra yoga. This is not a long book but I find gems in each of Frawley's books that I have found no where else. Thank you David Frawley.

This is a wonderful book for all meditators and those curious about the roots of meditation in the yoga tradition. It is inspiring, simple to understand and to read, just great. Thank you, Dr. Frawley, for sharing your insight.

A succinct book which a lucid exposition of what's involved in furthering one's spiritual practice. Provides a coherent overview of Vedantic thought and practice. Invaluable.

I have still to finish this book , but what I have read I find extremely helpful in understanding the non dual path ,self enquiry ,self realisation ,and it leaves me so much more knowledgable and wiser ,I know I shall read it again .

Reads like a holy book not like a guide to meditation techniques or practices. 3 stars as many would enjoy this though I did not.
