Sanatana Dharma: The Eternal Religion
Sanatana Dharma, commonly called Hinduism, is not just beautiful temples, colorful festivals, gurus and unusual beliefs. It is, simply put, “The Way Things Are” on a cosmic scale. It is the facts of existence and transcendence.
Swami Nirmalananda has edited for the modern reader a book originally printed nearly one hundred years ago in Varanasi, India, for use as a textbook by students of Benares Hindu University. Its original title was Sanatana Dharma, An Advanced Text Book of Hindu Religion and Ethics.
How to Read the Tarot
Discover Swami Nirmalananda’s unique method of reading the Tarot specifically for use with the Rider-Waite deck, giving detailed instructions on how to use the cards to develop your intuition for understanding the meanings of the cards.
The great value of this deck is its elaborate illustrations which are richly symbolic. The cards were drawn by a professional illustrator, Pamela Colman Smith, under the supervision of A. E. Waite himself.
