📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Leonard Orr presents the extraordinary narrative of Bhartriji, a yogi who allegedly lived for two millennia by mastering the art of sustaining life. This volume transcends mere biography; it serves as a manual for breaking the ingrained habit of death. Through channeling and direct transmission, Orr offers readers accessible instructions on consciousness expansion and out-of-body awareness. It is not a dense theoretical text but a collection of straightforward life guidelines designed to unlock the body's latent potential for immortality, inviting you to witness the miraculous through practical application.

Fun Fact
Orr succeeds in demystifying immortality, offering a refreshing, non-dogmatic approach to longevity that feels both ancient and urgent. It shines for those seeking practical, mind-body integration. However, skeptics seeking rigorous evidence or traditionalists preferring orthodox yoga texts may find its channeling origins and miraculous claims unconvincing. It sits firmly in the niche of practical occultism, bridging the gap between esoteric biography and self-help.

📝 Description: Breaking the Death Habit: The Story of Bhartriji Immortal Yogi of 2000 Years

Breaking the Death Habit is a statement of the incredible, the miraculous--the crack in the cosmic riddle; yet it is presented here as a set of simple and obvious life instructions.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
This volume succeeds as an inviting entry point into yogic immortality concepts, prioritizing accessibility over academic rigor. However, it does not suit readers seeking rigorous historical verification or complex philosophical debate, as its strength lies in practical instruction rather than scholarly analysis. Those expecting a traditional biography may find the channeling elements unconventional. It is best for individuals ready to embrace experiential spiritual work and out-of-body awareness without demanding extensive textual critique or empirical proof.

Mixed feelings

Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. A text you study rather than simply read. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Happy enough with the purchase.

Worth the read

Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes.

📜 Historical context

Emerging from the New Thought movement’s emphasis on mind-over-matter, this work bridges Eastern yogic traditions with Western esotericism. It reflects the early 20th-century fascination with immortality seekers and channeling, positioning Bhartriji within a lineage of mystics who claimed to have transcended biological limits through disciplined mental and spiritual practice.
