Consciousness ─ Where Science & 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 ConsciousnessJournal 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 Fieldsynonymous 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.

Human evolution and upliftment of consciousness do not come about through cultural or technological advance, but more by the blessing of spiritual unfoldment. In this sacred process, the Master-disciple relationship is paramount, so much so that it is known as the highest of all relationships on earth. It is the Guru who helps awaken the sleeping consciousness within each soul to the eternal Truth, the Oneness of the Divine and all creation. The Guru brings each soul a vision for an awakened life, based upon spiritual principles, through Satsang (Sanskrit: Communion with Truth), Spiritual Retreats and personal guidance. To foster this awakening, a firm foundation is needed, based upon the principles of Dharma, which is Sanskrit for "that which upholds"Righteousness, Truth, Divine Law. Virtues such as truthfulness, humility, faith, purity and devotion are inherently Dharmic. This is the classical path of spirituality upon which Swami Amar Jyoti guides each seeker with love and compassion toward transformation. Reverently addressed as Gurudeva, He is a Satguru (True Guru) in the ancient and timeless tradition of the Teachers of Mankind. He has authored a number of transformational books and His published Satsangsa treasure of the highest wisdomcomprise more than 700 spiritual discourses available on CD and Audiocasette. With sparkling humor and loving wisdom, these illuminating Satsangs cover every aspect of life and the spiritual path, revealing humanity's purpose and ultimate goal: realization of our Divinity within.
