Book excerpt: The centrality of the Himalayas as a connecting point or perhaps a sacred core for the Asian continent and its civilisations has captivated every explorer and scholar. The Himalaya is the meeting point of two geotectonic plates, three biogeographical realms, two ancient civilisations, two different language streams and six religions. This book is about the determinant factors which are at work in the Himalayas in the context of what it constitutes in terms of its spatiality, legends and myths, religious beliefs, rituals and traditions. The book suggests that there is no single way for understanding the Himalayas. There are layers of structures, imposition and superimposition of human history, religious traits and beliefs that continue to shape the Asian dynamics. An understanding of the ultimate union of the Himalayas, its confluences and its bridging role is essential for Asian balance. This book is a collaborative effort of an internationally acclaimed linguist, a diplomat-cum-geopolitician and a young Asianist. It provides countless themes that will be intellectually stimulating to scholars and students with varied interests. Please note: This title is co-published with KW Publishers, New Delhi.

Download or read book The Myth of the Masters Revived written by Alexandre Andreyev and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the lives of the famous Russian painter, thinker, and mystic Nikolai Roerich and his wife, Elena Roerich, the “mother” of Agni Yoga esoteric teaching. Extensively researched, it focuses on the couple’s spiritual quest, resulting in their gradual transformation under the influence of theosophy, spiritualism and Elena’s psychic “fiery experience” into mystics and gurus who fashioned their new version of the “myth of the Masters,” the invisible guides of humanity. Special attention is given to N. Roerich’s travels in Central Asia and Far East, his cultural and public activities and particularly his Buddho-Communist utopia. The myth of the Masters revived will appeal to those interested in New Age esotericism, mysticism, and Russian thought in the first half of the 20th century.

Download or read book Himalayas - Abode of Light written by Nicholas Roerich and published by Nicholas Roerich Museum. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) is known first and foremost as a painter. His paintings, of which there are thousands around the world, explore the mythic origins, the natural beauty, and the spiritual strivings of humanity and of the world. But Nicholas Roerich was as prolific a writer as he was a painter. He wrote books, poetry, and almost-daily essays on life and events (called Diary Leaves). Many of these writings have been unavailable for decades. They will therefore be new to many readers. It is our hope that bringing these volumes to light again will expand awareness of the vast range and depth of Roerich's interests and insights into human nature and cultural history.

Download or read book JESUS' YEARS IN INDIA written by M. Payoly and published by tredition. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JESUS CHRIST, the founder of the New Faith called Christianity, is well known on all continents and respected by the followers of various religions. He was born in Palestine and spent His childhood there until the age of 12. There is no explanation in the Bible about where He was and what He did between the ages of 12 and 29. The Roman Church was aware of it, but has deliberately kept it a secret. He appears unexpectedly before the common people in Palestine one day as a preacher telling them about truth, principles and the purpose of life on earth in a manner they had not heard before. India was then the country of spirituality. Historical evidences say that Jesus arrived in India when He was fourteen years old. He visited and studied in the famous Hindu Temple of Jagannath in Puri, Orissa. Jesus also visited Benares and other Hindu holy places. He was compelled to leave Puri because He protested against the caste system and animal slaughter existing in the Hindu society. Later, He visited and studied in Buddhist monasteries in India, Nepal and Tibet. He became a master in Hindu scriptures and Yoga. He preached His New Faith to the common people and was famous in those countries. He was a wanderer. When He was 29 years old, He returned to Palestine to fulfill His mission. The Church had known about His life in India and His new doctrine containing many parables that are popular in Hinduism and Buddhism. But no mention was made of them in the Bible. Why? Historical evidences indicate that Jesus did not die on the cross and escaped to Kashmir, India, where also He preached His New Faith as a respected holy man. He grew old and died in Kashmir. This book contains detailed information about how Jesus was saved from the cross and escaped to Kashmir and where the tombs of Mother Mary and Jesus can be found. Historical evidences are given in this book, based on the works of erudite scholars like N. Notovitch, K. N. Ahamad, M. A. Faruqui and Prof. F. Hassnain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable study of the music of Altai-Sayan peoples Based on more than twenty years of collaborative research, Carole Pegg’s long-awaited participatory ethnography explores how Indigenous nomadic peoples of Russia’s southern Siberian republics (Altai, Khakassia, Tyva) sound multiphonies of place in a post-Soviet global world. Inspired by the mountain-steppe ecology and pathways of nomadism, soundscapes created in performative ritual events cross political and multiple-world boundaries in a shamanic-animist universe, enabling human and spirit actor interactions in a series of sensuous worlds. As with the “throat-singing” for which Indigenous Altai-Sayan peoples are famous, senses of place involve sonic relations, rootedness, movement, and plurality. Pegg echoes their drone-partials musical and ontological models in an innovative theoretical entwinement. Three strands form the book’s multivocal drone, the partials of which sound in each chapter: ontological sonicality and musicality that enables emplacement and movement; the importance of shamanism-animism--at the core of Indigenous spiritual practices--for personhood and community; and the agency of sonic performances. Sounding place, Pegg demonstrates, is essential to the identities, ways of life, and very senses of being of Indigenous Altai-Sayan peoples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodore Levin takes readers on a journey through the rich sonic world of inner Asia, where the elemental energies of wind, water, and echo; the ubiquitous presence of birds and animals; and the legendary feats of heroes have inspired a remarkable art and technology of sound-making among nomadic pastoralists. As performers from Tuva and other parts of inner Asia have responded to the growing worldwide popularity of their music, Levin follows them to the West, detailing their efforts to nourish global connections while preserving the power and poignancy of their music traditions.

Download or read book Sacred Natural Sites written by Bas Verschuuren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Natural Sites are the world's oldest protected places. This book focuses on a wide spread of both iconic and lesser known examples such as sacred groves of the Western Ghats (India), Sagarmatha /Chomolongma (Mt Everest, Nepal, Tibet - and China), the Golden Mountains of Altai (Russia), Holy Island of Lindisfarne (UK) and the sacred lakes of the Niger Delta (Nigeria). The book illustrates that sacred natural sites, although often under threat, exist within and outside formally recognised protected areas, heritage sites. Sacred natural sites may well be some of the last strongholds for building resilient networks of connected landscapes. They also form important nodes for maintaining a dynamic socio-cultural fabric in the face of global change. The diverse authors bridge the gap between approaches to the conservation of cultural and biological diversity by taking into account cultural and spiritual values together with the socio-economic interests of the custodian communities and other relevant stakeholders.
