Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many places around the world, flutes and the sounds of flutes are powerful magical forces for seduction and love, protection, vegetal and human fertility, birth and death, and other aspects of human and nonhuman behavior. This book explores the cultural significance of flutes, flute playing, and flute players from around the world as interpreted from folktales, myths, and other stories--in a word, ""flutelore."" A scholarly yet readable study, World Flutelore: Folktales, Myths, and Other Stories of Magical Flute Power draws upon a range of sources in folklore, anthropology, ethnomusicology, and literary analysis. Describing and interpreting many examples of flutes as they are found in mythology, poetry, lyrics, and other narrative and literary sources from around the world, veteran ethnomusicologist Dale Olsen seeks to determine what is singularly distinct or unique about flutes, flute playing, and flute players in a global context. He shows how and why flutes are important for personal, communal, religious, spiritual, and secular expression and even, perhaps, existence. This is a book for students, scholars, and any reader interested in the cultural power of flutes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of stories in Krishna’s Jaunt and Other Stories is a blend of fiction and fantasy. While most of them deal with human emotions and human reactions to different sets of circumstances and situations, quite a few deal with gods and goddesses who also, despite their supernatural powers, display human emotions and reactions. At times, they too commit blunders that lead to hilarious situations. Besides, the gods and goddesses take to sports like cricket and soccer, and a couple of stories are woven around them. Animals like the dog and the squirrel too find a place in the stories where they play vital roles in apprehending criminals. Amongst the stories, are a few involving men of high principles, and who are a role model for others. With romance being the main theme in most of them, and with humour interspersed here and there, the stories make for an interesting read.

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 excerpt: A retelling of the story of Krishna, drawing from the puranas, folk tales and legends. Krishna means the dark one; it also means the one who attracts us to him. Divine, at the same time endearingly human, Krishna is at once the beloved child, the stealer of hearts, the loyal friend, the astute stalesman, the king, the valiant hero. This retelling in by Shanta Rameshwar Rao is simple enough to be understood by young readers, and evocative and thought provoking enough for adults. The author tells the story in such a way that we are both moved and charmed. There is a sense of the Divine here, at the same time, the retelling makes it very relevant to contemporary life. The book includes 16 paintings by the celebrated artist Bulbul Sharma. The line drawings are derived from the Sanjhi motifs of Vraj.

Download or read book Srimad Bhagwat Puran written by B. K. Chaturvedi and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2020 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘Srimad Bhagwal’ itself is believed to be the gem among all the sacred Puranas as it emphasises on the devotion to Lord. Vishnu’s incarnation, Lord Krishna. It is believed to have been authored by the great sage Vedavyasa when he felt a great unrest troubling his soul after authoring the Mahabharat. Although this Purana itself is believed to be a part of Skanda Purana, it is its lyrical beauty and devotion to Krishna that made it most popular. It enlists 22 incarnations of Lord Vishnu, while other sacred accounts of the Sanatana Dharma believe that there were nine incarnations and one is yet to come. Normally in the Purana, the tales or stories frequently overlap with each other giving emphasis on a different point. Owing to paucity of space, many of the stories have been given a brief mention in this work with the footnote guiding to the sources, to get the full story in the other Puranas. There are also certain variations in the details of the stories which have been also marked within parenthesis. Also, many details mentioned in this Puran which may appear uninteresting, have been deliberately left out. Some of the stories which are well- known have been skipped. For example, the Ramakatha or the details about other incarnations popularised by other sacred sources. The main emphasis in culling out the stories has been on those stories that reveal the basic moral fiber of our ethos. These stories have been recreated keeping in mind the comprehension of our young learners and hence making these stories more logical. This work is only an attempt to make our society recapture its roots. That is why the language and style have been used with great care so as to make the stories readable and comprehensive. It is hoped that our discerning readership will accord it a warm welcome. Lastly, the author wishes to record his gratitude to Narenderji of Diamond Pocket Books whose crusade to publish the gems of our cultural and religious ethos has few parallels in the field of publishing.

Download or read book Dance of Divine Love written by Graham M. Schweig and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-14 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart of this book is a dramatic love poem, the Rasa Lila, which is the ultimate focal point of one of the most treasured Sanskrit texts of India, the Bhagavata Purana. Judged a literary masterpiece by Indian and Western scholars alike, this work of poetic genius and soaring religious vision is one of the world's greatest sacred love stories and, as Graham Schweig clearly demonstrates, should be regarded as India's Song of Songs. The story presents the supreme deity as the youthful and amorous cowherd, Krishna, who joins his beloved maidens in an enchanting and celebratory "dance of divine love." Schweig introduces this work of exquisite poetry and profound theology to the Western world in the form of a luminous translation and erudite scholarly treatment. His book explores the historical context and literary genre of the work and elucidates the aesthetic and emotional richness of the composition, highlighting poignant details of this drama of divine love. Schweig illuminates the religious dimensions and ethical nuances of the drama, drawing widely from the commentaries and esoteric vision of masters of the Caitanya school of Vaishnavism, a prominent devotional Hindu tradition. Themes such as transcendence of death through love, the yoga of devotion, the contrast between worldly love and passionate love for God, and the dialectical tension between ethical boundaries and boundless love are presented. The final event of the Rasa dance, the author concludes, presents a dynamic symbol of supreme love that provides the basis for a theological vision of genuine religious pluralism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation also includes point of views GATHERED FROM VARIOUS lectures I have heard and from the various commentaries given by many good and kind-hearted scholars together with my observation on what is happening in the world. My intention is that everyone should progress in the right direction. Like the SWAN BIRD, WHICH WILL TAKE ONLY THE MILK FROM A MIXTURE OF MILK AND WATER, one must take good things only from my compilation. If after reading this compilation that something worth-while is done, the credit goes to my Acharyan or Guru and to the Lord for, they had only directed me to write. If it has not achieved the purpose, then I am to be blamed because I have tried to measure the sky (fathom out the Lord's work) with a foot rule (May be readers may feel that I am an ignorant man). In His Bhagvad Gita, Lord had considered the essence of Vedas, Srimad Bhagavatham and slokas rendered by Rushis, Munis and greatest scholars and had pronounced the path, to Arjuna in particular and also to Public in general, viz., the IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING Dharma as laid down in the scripture in a simple and understandable way The ecstasy or joy arising out of the knowledge of world order given by the Lord will remain forever in one's mind. (Tirumahisai Alwar says that only after he learnt about the greatness of the Lord, did he consider himself to have been born.) This may find expression in this compilation. I do not want to take any credit, any appreciation or name since I do not deserve a word of praise or discord as all my writings were done from the texts written by the above-mentioned great savants. I am sure that whoever reads this book will at least realize the GREATNESS OF THE LORD, how HE grades or appraises the people's deeds, rewarding for the good things done and giving punishment for the sins committed. Also, one should REALISE ONE'S UTTER HELPLESSNESS TO REACH HIM UNLESS HE WILLS, The Lord does not DISOWN ANYONE-Meaning one should do what Lord wants him to do as prescribed in Vedas, Upanishads and other guidelines made available to the individual. Devotees having basic knowledge about Gita may understand fast at the first reading itself, whereas for persons who are first reading about Bhagvad Gita may have to read twice or perhaps thrice to grasp the subject. In some place’s readers may find certain matters are repeated again. In matters of Philosophy and tradition, repetition is not only unavoidable but also necessary, for it helps to fix ideas.
