Living with Siva is a unique daily devotional which guides the aspirant who wishes to take the essential first steps on the spiritual path. This includes systematic principles of self-discipline known in traditional Hinduism as the yamas and niyamas. Once dynamically applied the lessons bring order and rectitude into our lives establishing a firm foundation for successful spiritual life, meditation and eventual deep realization. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami addresses frankly the problematic areas of modern living and offers sound, proven advice based on his 50 years of ministry. The 365 daily lessons, based on ancient Vedic laws, disclose how to approach family, money, relationships, technology, food, worship, yoga and karma to live a truly spiritual life. The lessons are elegantly simple, well-stated, and cross-culturally appealing -- Napra Review, Jan/Feb 2002 Living with Siva is remarkable in its directness, profoundly useful in its counsel and unflinching in its assessments of difficult issues that people on the inner path face in this twenty-first century. It is an invaluable asset to any home and family. At this time in the Kali Yuga, ignorance is equally distributed worldwide, and wisdom has become an endangered species. People are confused as to the performance of their duties, and too often duty is no longer even taught. It is to liberate seekers after Truth from this confusion that this book has been written. Many things in the world are wrong, certainly, but they do not have to be that way, since Hindus do have a traditional, proven way to follow. We do. It is the ancient Hindu path of the wise rishis, so well articulated, though sometimes too well hidden, in our sacred scriptures. It is not always easy to discover where this path begins, in what direction it leads and where it will take us. But once we find the path, we also find answers to many family-related questions that have troubled us, about which the old cultures had not only generations of knowledge, but also practical, sensible solutions. So, we hope you enjoy this modern look at the ancient Hindu path and find here much to emulate in your own life. Proceed with confidence. Don't look back. Fear not what others say or do. There is a new world tomorrow, and you are a vital part of it. Used Book in Good Condition
