Consciousness

Where Science and Spirituality Meet

Recordings of the Satsangs of Swami Amar Jyoti were first made available on audiocassette to a small group of devotees in 1974. Until His Mahasamadhi in 2001, each of his Satsangs was recorded live. Over seven hundred recordings are still available on CD and MP3 downloads. Edited versions of these profound and deeply inspiring teachings also have been published for decades in Light of Consciousness—Journal of Spiritual Awakening. In response to repeated requests that the Satsangs be presented in book form, it is a privilege to launch the Wisdom Library of Swami Amar Jyoti, beginning with Volume 1: Consciousness: Where Science and Spirituality Meet. Gurudeva often spoke of how one day spirituality and science would merge, as scientists and spiritual seekers meet in their quest for what the scientists sometimes call the Unified Field—synonymous with Consciousness, God, Brahman, the Absolute, Eternal, Light, the Divine. Through these Satsangs this ancient wisdom is approachable not only for the scholarly or the adept but for all who come with an open mind and heart. From the Introduction: If a wealthy man came to your town and offered you riches beyond belief, most likely you would heartily accept his gift. I sincerely believe there is nothing in the rich man’s wallet that approaches the fortune to be found in this book. Gurudeva has opened the divine vault and welcomes us into a treasure trove. This is the wine of the yoga sages poured into a new bottle that we of the modern day can imbibe and appreciate. I encourage you to accept this book as a gift of wisdom, of love, and blessings that are capable of transforming life into a dance of eternal light, joy and peace. —Prem Prakash, Green Mountain School or Yoga
