Natchintanai
Songbook Project

To Enable Learning of
the Songs of Siva Yogaswami

All my devotees revere as sacred scripture the songs and sayings of Satguru Siva Yogaswami, called Natchintanai, which embody the teachings of our lineage, commanding one and all to "Know thy Self by thy self." Aum.
--Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami

This project is dedicated to the next generation of Hindus of all nations, that they may be able to learn, sing and be transformed by the profound teachings of one of the 20th centuries greatest siddhas. If you absorb the teachings of the Natchintanai, you will know the essence of Sanatana Dharma. This is a work in progress.

Booklets

Here we offer PDF's of Natchintanai booklets that can be printed and bound locally for personal or group use. If you have a particular need, please send a request to studyhall@hindu.org and we may possibly be able to produce a booklet to meet your requirements. Since this page is publicly available on the internet, one easy way is just to go to your local printer with the URL "http://www.himalayanacademy.com/natchintanai/" and tell them to go online and download the PDF that you want to have printed. They are black and white and the files are very small.
