Scientist’s Search for Truth
Scientist’s Search for Truth
Scientist’s Search for Truth is a fascinating autobiography, which could very well be anybody’s, even your biography as it lucidly unfolds, page after page, how just an ordinary seeker with usual shortcomings treads the seemingly impossible path and transforms himself from manhood to Godhood.
Swami Virajeshwara as a young graduate from Mumbai University with lots of ambition but no prior knowledge of yoga, goes to the USA. There he begins Yoga practice. After earning a Ph.D. from Rutgers University of New Jersey, he works for IBM at its R&D labs responsible for developing high-speed fourth-generation computers. Pessimistic of scientific achievements, the young scientist renounces everything, goes to the Himalayas in search of TRUTH and dives deep in meditation to enquire “Who am I? What is God and Why do I exist?” The search culminates in Self-realization and eternal peace, which elevates the scientist to a saint.
Absolutely earnest, brilliantly educative to a seeker, and at times humorously entertaining. Scientist’s Search for Truth reveals what the Realization actually is, in simple words of a Realized person and takes the reader travel along with the author to the abode of eternal peace.
Science of Bhagavadgita
Science of Bhagavadgita
This book is a novel, unique approach to understand Gita. The commentary by Swami Virajeshwara Saraswati appeals especially to the scientifically tempered, rational mindsets of people of the 21st century and its highly logical, lucid, simple narration of the meaning of Shlokas clears the doubts and objections of critics of Vedanta.

Know You Reality- Part I and Part II
Many people have been visiting Hamsa Ashramam and have asked all sorts of questions to Gurudeva to clear their doubts.

The answers provided to one seeker are of great help to others as well. Often questions asked were; why does man suffer? Science and Advaita Vedanta, how to control passions? Where are all Gods? Why are we born? Calamities and rebirth- for whom?
Part I and Part II contain answers to many aspirants’ questions who came from all walks of professional life- Software programmers, Engineers, Advocates, Scientists, Teachers, Doctors Managers, Govt officers etc. Thirst for spiritual knowledge will be certainly quenched by reading and contemplating these two parts.

Sadhana and Meditation
Sadhana and Meditation
This book is a practical guide to Sadhana covering Tapasya, Karma, Yoga, Pranayama, Upasana and Advanced Sadhana like Self-enquiry. It is written for people at all levels and all walks of life with the preliminaries and benefits of it. This book can be used both by beginners and advanced Sadhaks to elevate one's own life to full of hope, meaning and well-being.
Rebirth
Rebirth
"What happens to us after we die" is the central question addressed in this book. It uses tenets of Vedanta and science to deduce the inevitability of rebirth. The endless cycle of birth, living and death characterized at every stage with intense pain and suffering will be the fate of those who waste their valuable human birth in the pursuit of ephemeral pleasures. The only way out of this pain and suffering is sinless righteous living, self-enquiry and eventual self-realization. This book shows the reader the pathway to such an evolved state of existence.

Guru Mahima
Guru Mahima: The Pathway to Enlightenment is a collection of reflections by some of the devotees whose lives have been transformed by Gurudeva Swami Virajeshwara Saraswati. This book is intended to serve three sets of audiences. The first, is a novice on the spiritual path, who has no clue about how to find his Guru. The second set of audience consists of sincere seekers who visit Hamsa Ashramam regularly. They would like to learn from the experiences of fellow devotees. The third set consists of those who are visiting Hamsa Ashramam for the first time.
Sannidhi Samvadam: Conversations with an Enlightened Master.
Sannidhi Samvadam: Conversations with an Enlightened Master.
Since time immemorial, sages, through a lineage, continue to share the supreme knowledge that uncovers the true nature of man experientially. This supreme knowledge is called Self-Knowledge or Brahmavidya that emphatically resolves the nature of the world and the role of individuals and instructs on the Supreme Being called atman or Brahman. The sages or Gurus, living anonymously and liberated while alive, attract a few bees who are ready to devote their time and energy to contemplation and sadhana.
The author through multiple conversations with his GuruMa: Shree Mata Swadhaa Devi, discusses practical difficulties in Sadhana, the role of effort and surrender, receives spiritual instructions and personally experiences divine interventions in multiple settings. These conversations, as three Jnanis (Realized Beings) told the author, are part of “Divine Sankalpa” or Divine Will. The book covers Self-Knowledge (Jnana), Bhakti, atma vichara and GuruMa’s own rich divine experiences. We hope Sadhaks and Mumukshus will find enough pointers in their pursuit of Self/Truth/God.

*Spiritual Pointers*
A stream of spontaneous recollections takes the reader through mystical experiences, esoteric teachings and Vedantic secrets. With distinctive frankness, Professor Nagaraj R. Padaki shares pointers and fascinating encounters; an account of the manifestation of Gurudeva Swami Virajeshwara Saraswati after Mahasamadhi and darshan of Divine Mother, a mystical explanation of Kundalini by Jagadguru and a saintly lady, potent association with a Divine Doctor. Also recorded are incidents like the manifestation of golden mangalya of Sri Kanchi Kamakshi Amman, initiation into Maha mantras by a mantra siddha, encounters with Amba in Tiruvannamalai, a Himalayan Yogi and many more.
Through the window of experiences and encounters, the reader is directed to the ultimate. Sooner or later, the reader must take the plunge, plumb the peace within and abide in peace. Our rishis out of compassion, hold before us the highest goal or param dharma, which should be never out of sight – abidance in our True Nature: Self or Atma (Atman) or Brahman through Brahmavidya.
This perennial stream was collected week after week from Professor Padaki by the author, under the direction of his GuruMa. Professor becomes part of this divine drama, and shares all that He knew and learned from Gurudeva.
“Guru Bhakti, obedience, direct teachings, and mystical experiences are integral parts of this set of recollections. May all readers get kindled.” – Shree Mata Swadhaa Devi (GuruMa), Hamsa Ashramam
“This faithful recording of the awe-inspiring memoirs of revered Professor Padaki Mahodaya will inspire genuine seekers to deeper levels of jnana-vichara.” – Swami Tanmayananda Sarasvati, Principal Trustee, Hamsa Ashramam Trust
