{"product_id":"9781887472623","title":"Siva Puja and Advanced Yagna","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy worshiping Shiva, we cultivate the qualities of infinite consciousness,  freedom from attachment, and freedom from bondage to this world of objects and relationships. We cultivate the attitude of perceiving the intrinsic reality, not the extrinsic appearance. We identify with that which does not change, and become the witness of the changes of nature. From this perception, we act and interact with the world remembering the eternal reality.  We free ourselves from pain and fear, and see them as passing states of mind, accepting the will of God.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwami Satyananda Saraswati spent twenty years walking across the length and breadth of the Himalayas of India, studying Sanskrit, Hindi and Bengali, and learning the systems of worship wherever he went.
