Teachings of Lord Kapila English 1977

TEACHINGS OF A MYSTICAL SAINT - THE SON OF DEVAHUTI Long ago, in an age known about only from the epics of ancient India, the great sage Kapila made His appearance on earth - from the womb of the saintly Devahuti. When her husband left home to seek spiritual perfection in the forest, Devahuti implored her divine son Kapila to lead her to enlightenment. Lord Kapila then showed her the way of 'Sankhya' - the analytical pathway to a higher understanding of the world, the self, and the ultimate source of everything. Here the modern world's most distinguished teacher of Vedic philosophy and religion shows us just how relevant Lord Kapila's ancient teachings are to us today. Through the way of Sankhya, as explained in this book, we learn about the qualities of the spiritual master, the science of meditation, the phychology of consciousness, the symptoms of the self-realised person, the secret of transcendental knowledge, and the attainment of supreme liberation.
