Excellent book(s) on yogic and spirtual life styleBy G B ShankarOn the Wings of the Swan is a 6-set volume; compilation of questions asked by disciples/ bhakts and answers provided by Swami Niranjan; during the satsangs conducted in eighties and nineties at Ganga darshan; Munger. The topics covered are extensive and varied; addressing countless aspects of yoga; yogic lifestyle and spiritual life. All the questions and answers are relevant even today; after 25 years and will be relevant eternally.Why the name 'On the wings of the swan'? Hansa / Hans or Swan is associated with Saraswati; the supreme of Goddess of Wisdom and learning. In Hindu mythology; Hans or Swan is a sacred bird; which if offered a mixture of milk and water; is said to be able to drink the milk alone. It thus symbolizes the ability to discriminate between good and evil; essence from outward show and the eternal from the evanescent. The swan is also a symbolism for spiritual perfection; transcendence and moksha in Hindu mythology. Swan protects its infant babies by keeping them on the wings.The books are a must read for spiritual yoga followers and who don't live in India or close to Yogashrams.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. All questions answeredBy Elizabeth R. WalterThis 4 volume set will probably answer every question you ever had on the spiritual path. Volume 1 contains many; many questions and answers; recorded from satsangs with Swami Niranjan in the 1990s. It is FANTASTIC. Read one satsang per day as a part of your practice or just scan the index for a topic you have questions about. Every single book that comes from Bihar School of Yoga is extremely clear; excellently written; and pertinent to the modern world in which we live. They are all lights upon the path and a great blessing to all.
