Sometimes people ask me about what books to read. That's a difficult question, as we all have very different interests and opinions. However, I've listed some of my favorite authors below that I have either found very useful in my own journey or for whom I have high regard of their perspective. It's only fair to mention that I seldom read books these days, and have not since around 1990 or so. Since then my emphasis has been on practices, as questions subsided in pursuing direct experience through meditation and contemplation. There are also Amazon links to some of their books.
(There is a separate webpage that has specific book recommendations.)

This site is devoted to presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of the Tradition of the Himalayan masters in simple, understandable and beneficial ways, while not compromising quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or practices is the highest Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is one and the same with the Absolute Reality. This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which complement one another like fingers on a hand. We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha, and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the Absolute.
