He met Swami Nada Brahmananda, a former court musician for the King of Mysore, famous throughout India for being a master of Taan music and sound yoga as well as for his supernatural control of his body. Grosso began studying with Swami Nada and found his life profoundly changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSharing the lessons of Swami Nada Brahmananda, as well as painting a vivid portrait of New York City in the 1970s and its vibrant and chaotic underground arts and music scene, Grosso explores Swami Nada’s Indian yoga of sacred sound in depth. He reveals how the tradition centres on the sound or vibration that created the universe, its personal cultivation, and its power to heal, enlighten, and offer insight about how to live in the Kali Yuga, the Age of Conflict. Grosso also examines the siddhis, or extraordinary powers, that can arise from this work, detailing the otherworldly abilities of his master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lessons that Grosso shares centre on three life-enhancing themes: controlling the mind, which provides the very essence of a happy life; diet and practices conducive to healing and perfect health—Swami Nada himself never knew a day of sickness in all of his 97 years; and how music in all its forms can be used to transform consciousness and enrich our spiritual life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRevealing Swami Nada Brahmananda as the very embodiment of a Celestial Songman, Grosso shows how, by practising the yoga of sound, we can embody Swami Nada’s greatest lesson of all: that we can all learn to make music from the discordant notes of our lives and sing our way out of the Kali Yuga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46652906733804,"sku":"9781644116371","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10068043482773.jpg?v=1752441450"},{"product_id":"irreducible-mind-by-alan-gauld-9781442202061","title":"Irreducible Mind","description":"Current mainstream opinion in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind holds that all aspects of human mind and consciousness are generated by physical processes occurring in brains. Views of this sort have dominated recent scholarly publication. The present volume, however, demonstrates_empirically_that this reductive materialism is not only incomplete but false. The authors systematically marshal evidence for a variety of psychological phenomena that are extremely difficult, and in some cases clearly impossible, to account for in conventional physicalist terms. Topics addressed include phenomena of extreme psychophysical influence, memory, psychological automatisms and secondary personality, near-death experiences and allied phenomena, genius-level creativity, and 'mystical' states of consciousness both spontaneous and drug-induced. The authors further show that these rogue phenomena are more readily accommodated by an alternative 'transmission' or 'filter' theory of mind\/brain relations advanced over a century ago by a largely forgotten genius, F. W. H. Myers, and developed further by his friend and colleague William James. This theory, moreover, ratifies the commonsense conception of human beings as causally effective conscious agents, and is fully compatible with leading-edge physics and neuroscience. The book should command the attention of all open-minded persons concerned with the still-unsolved mysteries of the mind.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47602999525612,"sku":"9781442202061","price":83.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781442202061-irreducible-mind.jpg?v=1778052371"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/michael-grosso.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
