Book excerpt: Among the many relationships that one reads about and sees in the Mahabharata, the one between Lord Krishna and Draupadi is a beautiful and awe-inspiring one. It is said that Krishna and Draupadi shared an iconic relationship. Krishna called Draupadi Sakhi and she called him Sakha. Basically, the 'sakhya' or friendship/relationship the duo shared was of deep understanding of each other's commitments, joys, travails in life. They connected almost telepathically. The theme of the book revolves around the bond of relationships- the relation of a brother and sister, the relation of two friends, the relation of life partners, the relation between an offspring and a mother, the relation which cannot be defined. The title of the book is kept as “Krishna and Draupadi: The Unending Boon” to illustrate that every bond is pure and unique irrespective of the relation between them. The book consists of 33 splendid writers from the globe who have contributed pieces of microtales and short poetry, narrating tales of bond and relations.
Book Synopsis Legends of Sri Krishna & Mahadev by : Sharad Mohan
Download or read book Legends of Sri Krishna & Mahadev written by Sharad Mohan and published by Sharad Mohan. This book was released on 2023-06-11 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Believe or Not to Believe? You aren't the first to grapple with the question of belief in God. The vast number of different religions already tell us that humans have been grasping at the divine from the very beginning. This alone speaks to the existence of God. All humans have an innate desire for something, an emptiness that longs for fulfillment. Filling this void with worldly desires like riches, power, and sensual pleasures might distract you for a little while, but it's ultimately unfulfilling. It comes down to two choices. First, you can trust in human's limited knowledge of religions, philosophies, ‘isms,’ and many others that were made by humans looking for answers. But this reasoning can only go so far because it starts with itself and ends with itself. The second option is to lean not on your understanding but on God. Many skeptics equate trust in religion to a rejection of logic or reason. But belief in God doesn't mean you aren't using sense. Seeking God can open your eyes and grant you wisdom (Psalm 119:18, Proverbs 8). While there are many reasons to put your faith in God, here are some compelling reasons we must believe. God of Tactics VS. God of Ethics Focusing on the world’s third-largest religion, followed by a one billion-plus population. It brings forth stories, ideas, and philosophies, its societal formation, culture, and the main tenets of Hindu philosophies: Dharma, Kama, Karma, and Moksha. The author has not used this book to make a comparative study of other religions but rather focused on Sanatan ideas only. Para Brahma Tattva (God's Particle / Higgs Boson) Truth is found in his various manifestations that have been covered in simple Leelas (God’s stories). Shiva and Sri Krishna are the two Hindu Gods being discussed here. This book will help the younger generation across the globe to know their religion and heritage and is highly recommended for reading by them, their parents, families, and friends. To understand Space, Time, Matter, and Multiple Universes concepts in Sanatan Dharma, you must read this book. In this 75th year of India’s Independence, also called Amrit Kal, this is the author’s gift to the great nation of India, also called Bharat. Why so many Gods? Who is Supreme? Who should we pray to? Vedas define 33 koti (category) of Gods, which Sanskrit to English language translations made this ‘koti/ category’ to crore and started saying 33 crore devi and devtas; it should be 33 categories. The 33 categories of gods are calculated as eight Vasus, eleven Rudras (different forms of Shiva), twelve Adityas (different forms of Vishnu), one Indra, and one Prajapati (Brahma). This adds up to 33. The Prism Theory to Understand Why So Many Faiths and Gods Globally To make you understand better, the author has formed a theory named - The Prism Theory. This is Copyright of the author Sharad Mohan. His Interpretation of Para Brahma (One God Tattva) satisfying various distinct manifestations and incarnations is used as an analogy to understand why Sanatan Dharma (loosely referred to as Hinduism) has so many gods & goddesses and how they are all the same eventually. Para Brahma is like a White light falling on the Prism (Puranas) and then dividing it into Seven distinct lights: VIBGYOR. V = Vishnu (Krishna), I = Ishwar (Shiva), B = Brahma, G = Ganesh, Y = Youvanaakarayai (Adi- Shakti), O = Omkar-Pranav Guru (Karthikey) or even Others (Any Deity/Any Faith/No Faith), R = Ravi (Surya). Now, within these colors, only Three are Primary colors. 1. Red = Rudra (Arupa - Solid State - Sadashiv), 2. Yellow = Parvati (Rupaarupa – Liquid State - Adi Shakti), and 3. Blue = Nilesh (Swaarupa - Gaseous State -Sri Krishna / Vishnu). Now, when the VIBGYOR is passed through another inverted Prism (Vedas), it again becomes a single White light (Para Brahma). Para Brahma is a particle very similar to God’s particle, and from this, Hindus believe that their multiple gods (manifestations/incarnations/Avatar come from. So, primarily the same Para Brahma element but for different names. The above theory can also apply to all the existing ‘ism,’ be it Atheism, Rationalism, Sanatan Dharma, Abrahamic religions, or Wokeism. In addition, it can fit into any other views that may come from the 8.4 million living organisms on this planet. This is a lovely book for students, non-Hindus, Sanatanis, Researchers, Politicians, and Business folks to know more about the “only” ancient living civilization country and its people: India, the emerging geo-political important democracy. Already 5th largest economy in GDP terms, the largest population of 1.45 billion folks, and still believes in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam; meaning the entire world is one big family. Do read and share with friends and family. – Author Sharad Mohan, USA. X:@SharadAuthor
Book Synopsis Draupadi A Woman of Rare Love by : Avinash Patra
Download or read book Draupadi A Woman of Rare Love written by Avinash Patra and published by Oxford University Press . This book was released on 2012-02-04 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As among men Krishna baffles our understanding, so does Draupadi among women. And how the critics look at Draupadi says more about the critics themselves than about Draupadi. What we see in others is only a reflection; others only serve as mirrors to us. We see in others only that which we want to see; in fact, we see what we are. We do nothing but project ourselves on the world. It is difficult to understand Draupadi. But our difficulty does not come from this great woman, it really emanates from us. Our ideas and beliefs, our desires and hopes come in our way of understanding Draupadi.
Book Synopsis Appreciating Melodrama by : Piyush Roy
Download or read book Appreciating Melodrama written by Piyush Roy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appreciating Melodrama: Theory and Practice in Indian Cinema and Television seeks to identify and appreciate the continual influence of the ancient Sanskrit drama treatise, the Natyashastra, and its theory of aesthetics, the rasa theory, on the unique narrative attributes of Indian cinema. This volume of work critically engages with a representative sample of landmark films from 100 years of Indian film history across genres, categories, regions and languages. This is the first time a case study-based rigorous academic review of popular Indian cinema is done using the Indian aesthetic appreciation theory of rasa (affect/emotion). It proposes a theoretical model for film appreciation, especially for content made in the melodramatic genre, and challenges existing First World/Euro-American film criticism canons and notions that privilege cinematic 'realism' over other narrative forms, which will generate passionate debates for and against its propositions in future studies and research on films. This is a valuable academic reference book for students of film and theatre, world cinema and Indian cinema studies, South Asian studies and culture, Indology and the 'Sociology of Cinema' studies. It is a must-have reference text in the curriculum of both practical-oriented acting schools, as well as courses and modules focusing on a theoretical study of cinema, such as film criticism and appreciation, and the history of movies and performance studies.

Parameters were identified based on the attributes of the Gita. The authority too is derived from God/Gita. Isn't the identification process obsolete and unscientific? There isn't anything more scientific than the Gita. Just see the explosion of Artificial intelligence applications, be it Drones, Siri, Echo, or Robots.

Book Synopsis The Difficulty of Being Good by : Gurcharan Das
Download or read book The Difficulty of Being Good written by Gurcharan Das and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should we be good? How should we be good? And how might we more deeply understand the moral and ethical failings--splashed across today's headlines--that have not only destroyed individual lives but caused widespread calamity as well, bringing communities, nations, and indeed the global economy to the brink of collapse? In The Difficulty of Being Good, Gurcharan Das seeks answers to these questions in an unlikely source: the 2,000 year-old Sanskrit epic, Mahabharata. A sprawling, witty, ironic, and delightful poem, the Mahabharata is obsessed with the elusive notion of dharma--in essence, doing the right thing. When a hero does something wrong in a Greek epic, he wastes little time on self-reflection; when a hero falters in the Mahabharata, the action stops and everyone weighs in with a different and often contradictory take on dharma. Each major character in the epic embodies a significant moral failing or virtue, and their struggles mirror with uncanny precision our own familiar emotions of anxiety, courage, despair, remorse, envy, compassion, vengefulness, and duty. Das explores the Mahabharata from many perspectives and compares the successes and failures of the poem's characters to those of contemporary individuals, many of them highly visible players in the world of economics, business, and politics. In every case, he finds striking parallels that carry lessons for everyone faced with ethical and moral dilemmas in today's complex world. Written with the flair and seemingly effortless erudition that have made Gurcharan Das a bestselling author around the world--and enlivened by Das's forthright discussion of his own personal search for a more meaningful life--The Difficulty of Being Good shines the light of an ancient poem on the most challenging moral ambiguities of modern life.

Book Synopsis Female Infanticide in India by : Rashmi Dube Bhatnagar
Download or read book Female Infanticide in India written by Rashmi Dube Bhatnagar and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female Infanticide in India is a theoretical and discursive intervention in the field of postcolonial feminist theory. It focuses on the devaluation of women through an examination of the practice of female infanticide in colonial India and the reemergence of this practice in the form of femicide (selective killing of female fetuses) in postcolonial India. The authors argue that femicide is seen as part of the continuum of violence on, and devaluation of, the postcolonial girl-child and woman. In order to fully understand the material and discursive practices through which the limited and localized crime of female infanticide in colonial India became a generalized practice of femicide in postcolonial India, the authors closely examine the progressivist British-colonial history of the discovery, reform, and eradication of the practice of female infanticide. Contemporary tactics of resistance are offered in the closing chapters.
Book Synopsis Beauty, Power and Grace by : Krishna Dharma
Download or read book Beauty, Power and Grace written by Krishna Dharma and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Replete with inspired illustrations by award-winning artists B.G. Sharma and Mahaveer Swami, Beauty, Power & Grace features Krishna Dharma’s dramatic retellings of pivotal ancient Indian stories of the many Hindu Goddesses. Adapted from ancient Sanskrit texts, the stories in Beauty, Power & Grace represent one of the most fundamental aspects of Hinduism—the innumerable manifestations of divinity. Among these, the portrayal of the Goddess is perhaps the most alluring. She appears as a devoted wife, a master of the arts, a terrifying demon slayer, a scornful critic, and a doting mother, to name just a few of her forms. In Vedic tradition, these depictions of the Goddess reflect the belief that male and female are simply different expressions of one supreme, absolute truth. These profound stories are brought together here in an exquisitely illustrated collection that reveals the various manifestations of the Goddess, ranging from the iconic to the obscure: Mother Yashoda peers into her infant’s mouth and is astonished to catch a glimpse of the entire universe; Ganga Devi, now synonymous with the sacred river, rides upon a great crocodile and purifies those whom she encounters; and Kali, adorned with a garland of skulls, drinks the blood of her victims on the battlefield. A definitive and timeless celebration of Goddess imagery, symbolism, and lore, Beauty, Power & Grace stunningly displays the fascinating intersection between color, form, and meaning at the heart of Hindu tradition.
Book Synopsis Krishna & Christ, Volume 2 by : Bhakti Marga
Download or read book Krishna & Christ, Volume 2 written by Bhakti Marga and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-02-08 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the core of most religions lies a transcendent being, someone out of the ordinary that challenges our limited human mind to expand to unknown heights. It is the presence of this being that gives people hope, proof even, that God is real. Through these individuals, God becomes something tangible, experiential and not just an abstract idea. Volume 2 of the Christ & Krishna set highlights and dives deep into the lives of two such extraordinary beings, namely Krishna and Jesus Christ. Using the stories of the Bhagavatam and the Bible, the author draws comparisons and similarities in their lives and teachings, bringing clarity to the nature of God, His relationships with His devotees and His impact on the world. Through the window of these lives, we can clearly see Divine purpose, Divine power and Divine Love in action. Reading this book will inspire real devotion, not to an idea, or an institution, but rather to the essence and core of all spiritual paths: God Himself.
Download or read book The MahaBharata written by Romesh C. Dutt and published by Jaico Publishing House. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient India, like ancient Greece boasts of two great Epics. One of them, the Maha-bharata, relates to a great war in which all the warlike races of Northern India took a share, and may therefore be compared to the Iliad. The great war which is the subject of this Epic is believed to have been fought in the thirteenth or fourteenth century before Christ. The war thus became the centre of a cycle of legends, songs, and poems in ancient India, the vast mass of legends and poetry, accumulated during centuries, was cast in a narrative form and formed the Epic of the Great Bharata nation, and therefore called the Maha-bharata. The real facts of the war had been obliterated by age, legendary heroes had become the principal actors, and, as is invariably the case in India, the thread of a high moral purpose, of the triumph of virtue and the subjugation of vice, was woven into the fabric of the great Epic.

Download or read book Yuganta written by Irawati Karve and published by Orient Blackswan. This book was released on 2006-07-19 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irawati Karve studies the humanity of the Mahabharata`s great figures, with all their virtues and their equally numerous faults. Sought out by an inquirer like her, whose view of life is secular, scientific, anthropological in the widest sense, yet appreciative of literary values, social problems of the past and present alike, and human needs and responses in her own time and in antiquity as she identifies them... Seen through her eyes the Mahabharata is more than a work which Hindus look upon as divinely inspired, and venerate. It becomes a record of complex humanity and a mirror to all the faces which we ourselves wear.
