The Yoga Vasistha Ramayan is also a very famous book in Sanskrit literature. Although its title contains the word Ramayana, it is not Ramayan in the conventional sense like the Epic Ramayan.
In fact, it is Vedanta philosophy or the spiritual discipline in the light of Vedanta. Yogi Vasistha is the Guru and Prince Rama is his intelligent disciple. In the court yard of King Dasaratha, Yogi Vasistha lectured eighteen days on prince Rama so that he could attain the complete state of Realization. During these days, he enquired him about his practice. On the last day Rama attained the final Realization.
We have published the entire book in two volumes comprising more than two thousand pages in large format under the title "The Ultimate Book - Yoga Vasistha".
The present edition is an abridged version with selected verses and cheaper edition made available.

The Ultimate Book: Yoga Vasistha

ISBN 978-1-877854-50-7, Rs. 3,000/- in India
A Few Words about Yoga Vasistha:
Since the interpretation is in the light of synthesis of Yoga Vedanta, it would be appropriate to define these two words: Yoga and Vedanta in proper perspective in the spiritual light.
Yoga-chitta-vritti-nirodha - Which means "Yoga is a tranquil state of Consciousness when the waves (vrittis) of the heart (chitta) are eliminated (nirodha)". In other words, when the restless waves of the heart are made tranquil, it is a state of Yoga. The restless thoughts or the confused intellect of the heart and mind is dissolved, and then it is a state of Yoga, Sthirattva, eternal Tranquility, and Peace.
Therefore, Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline; it has nothing to do with physical exercises. In reality, the asana (a posture of the body - seating) is a steadfast condition of the mind which consequently shapes the body posture, and so Yoga has nothing to do with the body. It is directly related with the heart and mind. So where is the scope of doing anything with the body? Its primary intention is to dissolve the mind or the intellect and tranquilize the heart.
Now, the word Vedanta; it can be scanned into two words: Veda which means "knowing" or "knowledge" and anta which means "the end"; therefore, the word Vedanta means "the end of knowing or knowledge."
Thus the combined perspective of Yoga and Vedanta brings the state of eternal Tranquility (Sthirattva) at the end of knowing (realizing the Self); with nothing more left to know as the knowing mind or the intellect itself is dissolved in its very Source, attaining the state of eternal Tranquility (Chira Santi) and then "suddenly becomes eternal Silence (Chira Mouna). …."
