Shanti Sadan name
Books on Non-Duality and the Yoga of Self-Knowledge

All publications from Shanti Sadan are available for order on-line.

These publications contain pure and authoratative teachings on Advaita Vedanta (the non-dual understanding of the spiritual classics) and Adhyatma Yoga (the traditional means to Self-realization). The range includes translations of classic texts with commentaries, books on meditation and other spiritual practices, the lives of great Yogis, mystical poetry, non-dual philosophy, and original works by Hari Prasad Shastri and some of his pupils.

Hari Prasad Shastri had a deep knowledge of Eastern and Western culture as well as having confirmed the spiritual teachings. His writings on the traditional wisdom are both completely reliable and highly approachable for modern readers.
