Mudras: Ten Mudras Taught by Sri Swami Vishwananda (book)
Mudra Workshop with Swami Vishwananda (DVD)
by Review by Annette Kahmann
Whether you are looking to enhance your spiritual practice or for help with physical or emotional ailments, mudras can help. Not sure what mudras are? Which mudra to use for which purpose or how you do them exactly? A mudra is a symbolic posture, usually made with the hand or fingers. Mudras have influence on the subtle energies of the body, much like the effect of asanas in yoga practice. Mudras help with various aspects of the spiritual path as well as mental, emotional and physical well-being. The Bhakti Marga Foundation has published both a small book and a DVD that give explicit instructions about ten different mudras. While the DVD features detailed live demonstrations of the finger positions and accompanying sounds by Sri Swami Vishwananda, the book is a concise pocket-size guide with illustrations.

Both items are available at local stores or online at www.vishwananda.us.
