Books by Prabhuji David Ben Yosef Har-Zion

Advaita Vedanta, the philosophy of non-duality, is one of Hinduism's most brilliant pearls. It is reserved for seekers of Truth who want to know their own essence and aspire to liberation, or moksa. It proposes the path of knowledge called jana-yoga and its main tool is self-inquiry: ';who am I?' This question is an expression of the highest and noblest spiritual rebellion. Vedanta restores our dignity and accepts us as the only authority on who we are. It says that our self-exploration might lead us to discover our own nature as the Self beyond time and space.Prabhuji presents the principles of Vedanta that will help seekers take their first steps on this path. Rather than offering explanations or answers, he inspires us to inquire, doubt, and investigate our own essence. He tells us that every effort to achieve enlightenment is superfluous because we already are what we aspire to be. We simply need to turn our attention to consciousness itself and be the Self.David, Ben Yosef, Har-Zion, who writes under the pen name Prabhuji, is an artist, writer, painter, composer, and avadhuta mystic. He was born in Santiago, the capital of the Republic of Chile, on March 21, 1958. When he was eight years old, he had a mystical experience that sparked his search for the Truth. Since then, he has devoted his life to deepening the early transformative experience that marked the beginning of his process of involution. For more than fifty years, he has been exploring and practicing various religions and spiritual paths. In his view, the awakening at the level of consciousness, or the transcendence of the egoic phenomenon, is the next step in humanity's evolutionary process.

Bhakti yoga is the path of devotion that can lead every sincere seeker to self-realization. This book explains the devotional evolution that starts from an experience of a personal God and culminates in the unity of the lover and the loved. With astounding insight, Prabhuji describes a process that divinizes the earthly, spiritualizes the material, and transforms worldly attachments into transcendental love.This yogic path reveals that far from being an interaction with another person, love is the perfume that emanates from our own presence, here and now. When we experience this love, we discover that it is not an emotion or a feeling but what is real within us. Bhakti is the purest and most elevated love arising from the depths of consciousness and the silence of meditation.Prabhuji is a writer and a mystic who has chosen to retire from society and lead a solitary life. He spends his days completely secluded from the public, writing in silence and absorbed in contemplation. Prabhuji does not offer any sat-sangs, courses, or lectures, nor does he accept disciples or followers. He shares his teachings only through books and online videos. We ask everybody to respect his privacy.

Experimentando con la Verdad refleja el largo sendero recorrido por Prabhuji a lo largo de su vida. En esta compilación de respuestas a buscadores sinceros, comparte su sabiduría y erudición con quienes desean profundizar en temas como la iluminación, la meditación, la devoción, la concentración y demás. Prabhuji no se dirige a nosotros como un maestro o gurú, sino como un amigo y un compañero de viaje. No nos enseña, sino que nos anima a emprender nuestra propia búsqueda. En lugar de ofrecer respuestas, más bien nos invita a observar, inquirir, investigar y explorar por nosotros mismos. Criticando enfáticamente la religión organizada, presenta las perlas de sabiduría reveladas en las escrituras sagradas, y así deja al descubierto una misma Verdad bajo una diversidad de atuendos adquiridos en diferentes culturas.«Al igual que diferentes colores forman una bella pintura, los numerosos senderos espirituales crean una maravillosa armonía; y es en dicha armonía donde todos se encuentran. Si escuchamos unas notas musicales fuera del contexto de su sinfonía, no disfrutaremos de la melodía. Si prestamos atención a un solo color, no podremos apreciar la pintura en su totalidad. Pero si nos atrevemos a observar la armonía creada por todas las individualidades, percibiremos la Verdad».

Experimenting with the Truth reflects the long path Prabhuji has walked throughout his life. In this compilation of answers to sincere seekers, he shares his wisdom and erudition with those who wish to delve deeper into topics such as enlightenment, meditation, devotion, concentration, and so on. Prabhuji does not address us as a master or guru, but as a friend and traveling companion. He does not teach but encourages us to undertake our own search. Instead of offering answers, he invites us to observe, inquire, investigate, and explore by ourselves. Emphatically criticizing organized religion, he presents pearls of wisdom revealed in the sacred scriptures, which expose the same Truth dressed in a diversity of ways in different cultures.';Just as various colors form a beautiful painting, numerous spiritual paths create a wonderful harmony; and it is in this harmony where they all meet. If we hear musical notes without the rest of the symphony, we will not enjoy the melody. If we pay attention to a single color, we will be unable to appreciate the painting. But if we dare to observe the harmony expressed by all the individualities, we will perceive the Truth.'
