Before we begin...

Our life is a journey in the path of Spiritual Realization. In these times of fast life, it is easy to be misguided in search of quick solutions. Therefore, a sound and methodological enquiry is absolutely essential before we embark on our journey. It will be our guide in this journey of spiritual realization. 

The purpose of human life is to achieve perfection. The path of Yoga followed by our ancient seers is a tool to achieve this perfection. Yoga is primarily a method of achieving perfection through experimentation; a constant search for the truth. Yoga is for the achiever. Yoga is for the seeker.

Humans are action centric beings. Karma Yoga, expounded in Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, is the answer to all problmes mankind is facing today. This Karma Yoga is also known as Atmopasana. Atmopasana stresses on the important relationship between the Supreme Soul and the Individual Souls.

There is a wide spread misconception that Karma Yoga gives no importance to Knowledge (Jnana). The alternative name Atmopasana given to Karma Yoga removes this misconception A karma Yogi is an Atmopasaka. He is instilled firmly in the Atma Conciousness while performing all is stipulated actions. While knowledge is the most important component, Karma is the primary means to gain knowledge and reach the goal.

Atmopasana Dhyana Yoga is a universal meditaion technique based on the concept of Atmopasana. This is a simple yet profound, authentic method to eradicate the root cause of all problems modern man is facing today. Not only that, the practice of this technique puts the practitioner on the highway of spiritual path right away.

This Handbook is being presented as a companion to the Atmopasana Dhyana Yoga DVD. The conept of Atmopasana Dhyana Yoga is presented here in greater depth. An attempt also has been made to answer some of the questions frequently asked by the beginners.
