Swami Kripalu, affectionately known as Bapuji (or dear father), was
one of the greatest Kundalini yogis of the 20th Century. Scholar,
classical musician, composer, playwright, athlete, actor, and
consummate story-teller, Bapuji was most renowned for his practice
of sahaj or spontaneous yoga and his encyclopedic writings on yoga
and classical music. He lived in the western state of Gujarat from
1913 to 1981. Although Bapuji visited the US from 1977-1981, few of
his writings have been translated into English. Thus the full
impact of his wisdom is yet to be felt in the west. Atma's
thoughtful and creative approach to his life and teachings in
Pilgrim of Love builds a strong foundation for getting to know this
extraordinary master of yoga. -Stephen Cope, author of Yoga and the
Quest for the True Self Kripalu Yoga, originally pioneered by Yogi
Amrit Desai and later developed into a structured practice by key
Kripalu teachers, provides an introduction to the life-transforming
yogic principles that are Bapuji's legacy to Kripalu Center. With
his teachings as its foundation, Kripalu Center is the largest
residential yoga center in the world and is located in the
Berkshires in western Massachusetts. Offering year-round trainings,
programs and health services, Kripalu Center provides the means for
guests to develop awareness, cultivate health, and embark on a
journey of deep spiritual transformation--all through the
application of the tools of yoga. Atma Jo Ann Levitt, M.A., R.N.,
is a certified yoga teacher, Healing Touch practitioner, and author
of three books, including The Kripalu Cookbook: Gourmet Vegetarian
Recipes. She pioneered many growth and wellness programs at Kripalu
Center. She is coauthor of a book on sibling relationships, Sibling
Revelry: 8 Steps to a Successful Adult Sibling Relationship.
The book contains select proceedings of the International
Conference on Smart Grid Energy Systems and Control (SGESC 2021).
The proceedings is divided into 03 volumes, and this volume focuses
on power electronics, machines, systems integrations, and high
voltage engineering. This book is a unique collection of chapters
from different areas with a common theme and will be immensely
useful to academic researchers and practitioners in the industry.

This is English edition of the last book in trilogy 'Spiritual
Practice' included 'Self-Being Strategy' (2008) and 'Complete
Emptiness' (2010). Third part of the author's work was supported by
international center 'Your Reality' (Moscow - Bali). The
philosophic essay as comparative research describes reality
according to different traditions. It is the practical guidance for
seekers in broad field of spirituality.
This is third collection of the author's articles published in
local magazines 'Ubud Community' and 'Sanur Community' monthly in
Bali island, Indonesia (2009-2013). Whole trilogy includes two
previous books 'Kali-Bali' (2010) and 'Double Bali' (2011).
Obviously, 'Bubble Bali' means the logical conclusion of
investigation in this complicated intrigued cultural mixture. First
book was dedicated to traditional Balinese source in Tantric
Hinduism merged into original Animism and Shamanism. Second book
was concentrated on gap in-between Hinduism and Buddhism as two
main coexisting religions in the island. Third book is dealing with
plenty cultural contributions both ethnic and religious, such as
Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Javanese, Buddhist, Christian, etc. plus
different attempts of synthesis. Namely this dramatic cocktail is
reflected in present collection.
So many readers asked to write my biography since in all my 25
books and 75 articles on spiritual culture they could find nothing
about my own life. This is the result of my philosophical
background where it is required to remove anything personal or to
abstract ideas from their embodiments. However my phenomenon became
so enigmatic that many people got confused if I was doing something
myself or only thinking and writing as academic scholar. Actually,
my own life was overfull of dramatic experiences and intensive
spiritual practice. My path was crossed with too many great and
famous teachers and interesting personalities. This life could be
cut so many times while starting again in the same body that it was
rather 'series of lives'. It was whole conglomerate of
personalities while I really wanted out and this biography has
ended my efforts at least for me.
This book is collection of author's articles published in the
magazine 'Ubud Community' (Bali Island, Indonesia) during
2009-2010. Working daily with her close friend, who is Hindu priest
and healer, she affords to merge deeply into traditional Balinese
culture. This work is continued; so here she represents
intermediate data and current conclusions only. While Bali is
becoming very popular tourist destination few Westerners understand
and appreciate what really happens in the island. Being
professional philosopher and twenty years spiritual practitioner
spending eight years in Asian countries the author explains
Balinese phenomena in holistic context of Eastern wisdom.
