Yoga Vasishta is the record of how young Rama, the avatar of God Vishnu, attained Self realization through the teaching of Sage Vasishta. Over the course of twenty-two days, Rama asked questions and Vasishta answered, lectured, and told stories. All this took place before the assembled court of Ramaâ€™s father, King Dasharata, and numerous sages, gods, nobles and brahmin priests.,The book is attributed to Sage Valmiki, the same person who wrote the epic history of Rama, the Ramayana, which events take place after those in the Yoga Vasishta.,The essence of the philosophy in the Yoga Vasishta is that creation is not a separate existence from God but a reflection of God. God is consciousness and there is nothing material anywhere. Each individual is consciousness, ultimately the same indivisible Divine Consciousness, and not any physical body.,http://www.shivabalayogi.org/Handloom...
