Book Description

2004
"Meditation is not an esoteric art practiced by sages and yogis. It has practical benefits for each of us today, no matter what our age, culture, or religion." - Swamiji. "Uncommon Answers to Common Questions" is distillation of Swamiji's words on topics ranging from the universal quest for happiness, to the reasons for failing relationships, to the true relevance of spirituality in our time. This compilation of talks, delivered in Swamiji's deceptively simple style, not only reflects our individual hopes and struggles, but also points to the forces that are shaping global communities today. Science is the first step towards spirituality! "We asked Swamiji to go into the deepest meditation state... (and found that) his brain was more than 90% shut down! It was quiet and still, completely at peace... and Swamiji had made it so at will. From Swamiji's Quantitative Electroencephalograph (QEEG), we can see that he has complete control over his brainwaves. When in deep meditation, his brain smoothly shifted from one state to another, like a talented pianist playing the scales. Because the QEEG represents the five brainwave bandwidths as colors, it was as if we were watching Swamiji float from color to color within a rainbow! The activity in the frontal lobes of Swamiji's brain... was several times higher than would be seen in the average human brain under any conditions. The frontal lobes are associated with the functions of intelligence, attention, wisdom, and judgment. Swamiji is a bridge between the invisible, ancient world of mysticism and the modern, visible world of science and discovery." (Excerpts from the research report submitted by a team of neurologists from Oklahoma State University, who preformed extensive research on Swamiji's neurological system in March 2004.)

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure trove of wisdom for our everyday life, October 24, 2006
This review is from: Uncommon Answers to Common Questions (Hardcover)
The cover of the book - the title and the photograph of Sri Nithyananda - was what attracted me to the book.

I started browsing it and was soon immersed.

I found that many of my questions are answered here in a simple and lucid style. The issues covered are those that are faced by every one of us - ranging from relationships to our quest for happiness.

The simplicity in the style, the lucid explanations, the stories and examples, belie the deep wisdom and insight behind many of these answers. Many of these answers provide a new perspective, a clearer way of looking at the same problem. I can say that some of these answers really shook me up - 'Why didnt I think of that before?'

I had read that just the very words of an Enlightened Master can cut through our doubts and liberate us of our mental conditionings. This book made it an experience for me.

This book is a tremendous tool for anyone - whether a spiritual seeker or otherwise - just because it addresses our need to be joyful here and now, whatever we do in our lives.

This book will start you on your journey of personal transformation. Good luck!
