Scripture and Readinglist
Here I share the scriptures, books and texts that I have been reading during my journey, books that have been truly transformative and written by true teachers that resonate with my process of awakening to the reality of What Is. Of course this list is not exhaustive, but it represents the path I walked and whom I walked it with. So I do not call this recommended reading, but just reading list. I hope some of them will accompany you on your path. Each one of them are a gift of God to support awakening for us and for God.
Come back to this section as it will be updated continually.

Mastering Pranayama. Radhika Shah Grouven

Prana and Pranayama. Swami Niranjanananda

Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Swami Muktibodhananda
Swatmarama says that through the practice of pranayama fear of death can be overcome, and for a spiritual aspirant this is a very important achievement. In the Yoga Sutras of Sage Patanjali, fear of death or abhinivesha is listed as one of the five basic causes of pain.
