Padavali Prayers
For the various camps that are conducted by Vivekananda Kendra, participants come from different parts of the country. During the camps there are morning and evening prayers and also songs before and at the end of various sessions. All these prayers are given in “Padavali” - the booklet of songs and prayers brought out by Vivekananda Kendra. Participants ask for the meanings of these prayers. Sometimes it is possible to explain the meanings of the prayers during the shibirs but some time it is not possible. Therefore it was felt that a booklet which gives word to word meaning as well as short explanation should be brought out. Thus this book “Padavali Prayers with meanings” is being brought out.Our prayers from Padavali which are mainly taken from the Vedic literature are not just for asking something from Ishwara but are for moulding oneself on the vision of Oneness. The Sadhak sings these prayers for developing the right mind and attitude so as to be able to see everything as Ishwara and contribute in Ishwara’s work. Thus if the chanting of prayers is accompanied with deep contemplation on the meaning then it could be very elevating. We hope this small booklet would be useful not only for the participants coming for the various camps of Vivekananda Kendra but also for other aspirants too.
Sadhana of Service
"Sadhana of Service" reflects Eknathji's thoughts on the personality of an ideal worker. Swami Vivekananda said in one of his speeches that our country had always to wait for the birth of a great man. He leads us for some time and there is no continuity. A grand idea should be sufficient to thousands of people to take it up and follow it. But if that grand idea is not propogatedd by a great man, it has no chance of flourishing in our country. His dream was to reverse this trend.

YOGA
The present generation is moving at a very fast pace, hitherto unknown. The result being economic prosperity, technological development at the one end and stressful lives, and fractured inter personal relationships at the other end. Man seldom enjoys the fruits of his labour as he is bogged down because of the stress. This makes Yoga much more relevant today. There is a compelling need to create an awareness about “Yoga” which is commonly misconstrued as a mere Physical exercise. Yoga is not just Asana or Pranayama. It is a way of life. It is a process in which we integrate our body-mind-intellect with the larger identites like family, society and Nation the entire creation.We hope that this book “Yoga-the Way of Life based on the vision of oneness” will enable the reader to get a clear and proper understanding about the Philosophy and Practice of Yoga.
Kendra Unfolds
“Kendra Unfolds” is a collection of over 242 letters selected from the more than 22 thousand letters personally written by Mananeeya Eknathji. They cover a period of nearly 20 years, starting from 1963 to 1982. These letters are addressed to people who literally represent every strata of society. They also reflect the need, the nature and the exigencies of the situation, wherein they were written. Naturally, they cover such a wide spectrum, immense variety and varied styles of presentation. But, in spite of this immense vastness, there is a common background, a unifying thread and one single well-defined goal, which is unmistakable.
Learning for a Manager
Learning for a Manager (Vivekananda kendra and Eknathaji Ranade) unfolding the task of constructing the mid sea monument is not an ordinary one. A work of that magnitude involves a lots of ordels. Mobilizing the manpower, getting the requisite permissions from the authorities, collecting the needed funds, and organizing the work is quite a task. Mananeeya Eknathji did all these and much more. He gathered the right kind of work force, and ensured that the monument stands out as an exemplary one.
Development Through Culture
Culture is a collective word. It nurtures people, nurtures communities, empires, nations. It is an identity, not only in clothes, art forms but also in thought and behaviour and in the way we relate to the known and the unknown. It defines the Macro Person called the community and its relationship with the Micro Person called the individual. It brings unity and not uniformity, for culture celebrates variety. Lack of understanding of these strength leads to conflicts; clear understanding leads to meaningful, sustainable and harmonious development. Development takes place when culture, cultural forms are validated to meet the needs of the time.This book is a compilation of talks and papers presented by well known Economist S. Gurumurthy. The thought marks a paradigm shift in approach to culture and development.
Spiritualising Life
Spiritualising Life has three volume, which contain the talks given by Mananeeya Eknathji Ranade on the workers who were undergoing training.

These talks deal with the essential qualities of an ideal worker and these in fact are coming from a person who is an embodiment of selfless service; makes it even more worthy to listen and emulate.
