Download or read book Meditations Through the Rig Veda written by Antonio T. De Nicolás and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconstructs the original and origins of the Rig Veda, (between 5.000 to 2.500 B.C, ) the first Indo-European written document ever to show the origin of cultures and the power of music in the recitation and construction of the original hymns. Here we find the original geometries, original forms, original sacrifice of any form to claim supremacy over the others and the continued movement of human life. This book brings together early humans with modern neurobiological discoveries and shows the origins of multiple centers of knowing (the gods), the movement of the singer and the song in a world that avoids idolatry of substances by insisting in the constant movement of singer, song, and music. If you thought you knew all there is to know about the language you use, read this book and find out the idolatry of its imagery and the possible sacrifice needed for a happy, communal and divine life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a sustained focus of on those original human acts that gave us the gods, the human psyche, and the stories about them. Dr. Colavito divides myth into four distinct but inseparable "acts": first is the original power to create; second, the stories about the manifestation; third, the imitation and duplication of the manifested images; and four are the theories regarding the first three. Development of these four "acts" provides the foundation for studying and interpreting myth cross-culturally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engages readers with its original philosophical and pragmatic analysis of traditional Asian religions, philosophy, meditation practice, and the supreme spiritual ideals associated with the Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist traditions. The text boldly bridges the theory/practice distinction. A central underpinning rests on the assumption that meditation practice without theory is groundless and that theory without practice is useless. Identifies and analyzes common elements found across traditions in which the practice of meditation plays a central role in human development, and readers will find a wealth of detailed reflection on the relationship between spiritual growth and meditation practice from the Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist perspectives.

Download or read book Healing Mother Earth written by Lloyd Lill and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vulnerability of our planet is evident everywhere with daily revelations of the effects of climate change. Global warming began with the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century, with the burning of fossil fuels as reflected in carbon dioxide (CO2), which measured 300 ppm (parts per million) at the time of the Industrial Revolution and today stands at 400 ppm. The climate change is creating multiple problems. The concerns of melting sea ice and glaciers are contributing to rising sea levels. The increases in the warmer seas are fueling damaging hurricanes and typhoons, as witness the recent sequence of hurricanesHarvey, Irma, Jose and Mariaand typhoon Haiyen in the Philippines. Extreme heat waves and droughts are impacting farming and creating a world of environmental refugees. There is mounting evidence that soil, water, and air pollution increases are impacting our health. The dramatic loss of species worldwide is unsettling. A response to our troubling time is found in ancient teachings of the Vedic heritage. Their teachings are as relevant today as they were 3,500 years ago. These insights are found in the Samhistas and the texts of the VedasRgveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, and Upanishads. Additional understanding of the inner nature is found in the five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. The lynchpin of my book is the idea that it is not too late to protect and save our environment and our planet earth. Readers will also value the books appeal to the world communities and their reflective concern in caring for Mother Earth. The aim of this book is to showcase the Vedic teachings and how they can transform our current thinking and, at the same time, how they impact your personal renewal.

Book Synopsis The Rigveda by : Stephanie W. Jamison
Download or read book The Rigveda written by Stephanie W. Jamison and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""The òRgveda is a monumental text in both world religion and world literature; yet it is comparatively little known outside a small band of specialists. The oldest Sanskrit text, composed in the latter half of the second millennium BCE, it stands as the foundational text of what will later be called Hinduism. The text consists of over a thousand hymns dedicated to various divinities, composed in sophisticated and often enigmatic poetry. Its range is large - encompassing profound meditations on cosmic enigmas, exuberant tributes to the wonders of the world, ardent praise of the gods and their works, moving and sometimes painful expressions of personal devotion, and penetrating reflections on the ability of mortals to approach and affect the divine and cosmic realms through sacrifice and praise. This guide introduces the text to a wider audience. It provides an overview of the text, its structure and the process of its composition and collection; treats its purpose and how this purpose is reflected in the contents and structure of the text; gives a sense of the text by quoting verses and complete hymns; situates it in the religious practices of its time; and considers its use and reception in later periods, which saw profound changes in religious practices and beliefs. It will also introduce the literary qualities of the text and the poets' belief in the role of their poetry in making sense of, and indeed creating, cosmic order and function by pressing the boundaries of language itself.""--

Book Synopsis The Social Self in Zen and American Pragmatism by : Steve Odin
Download or read book The Social Self in Zen and American Pragmatism written by Steve Odin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1996-01-10 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this work is that in both modern Japanese philosophy and American pragmatism there has been a paradigm shift from a monological concept of self as an isolated "I" to a dialogical concept of the social self as an "I-Thou relation," including a communication model of self as an individual-society interaction. It is also shown that for both traditions all aesthetic, moral, and religious values are a function of the social self arising through communicative interaction between the individual and society. However, at the same time this work critically examines major ideological conflicts arising between the social self theories of modern Japanese philosophy and American pragmatism with respect to such problems as individualism versus collectivism, freedom versus determinism, liberalism versus communitarianism, and relativism versus objectivism.
Book Synopsis Karma and Creativity by : Christopher Key Chapple
Download or read book Karma and Creativity written by Christopher Key Chapple and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conception of karma in the religious traditions of India has prompted numerous interpretations, many of which equate karma with notions of fate. Karma and Creativity presents a perspective on karma that emphasizes the efficacy of human activity in bringing about desired results--from upholding societal order to the attainment of spiritual liberation. Karma is examined in light of several classical Indian texts. Special attention is given to the concept of mind-only in both Hinduism and Buddhism. The study focuses on the positive approach to action first learned by the sage Vasisin the Mahabharata and then taught by him to Sri Rama in the Yogavasis. It concludes with an exploration of the theological and ethical implications of action and creativity.
Book Synopsis Ploughing the Clouds by : Peter Lamborn Wilson
Download or read book Ploughing the Clouds written by Peter Lamborn Wilson and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rig Veda, written in India about 1500BC, praises a holy plant called Soma, which is sacrificed and consumed, granting the drinker an experience of enlightenment and ecstasy. The late Gordon Wasson identified Soma as a "magic mushroom," Amanita muscaria, and he and his followers discovered that such Indo-Europeans as the ancient Greeks, Iranians and Norse had also used a Soma-type plant. In Ploughing the Clouds Peter Lamborn Wilson investigates the probability of a Soma cult in ancient Ireland, tracing clues in Irish (and other Celtic) lore. By comparing Celtic folktales, romances, epics and topographic lore with the Rig Veda, he uncovers the Irish branch of the great Indo-European tradition of psychedelic (or "entheogenic") shamanism, and even reconstructs some of its secret rituals. He uses this comparative material to illuminate the deep meaning of the Soma-function in all cultures: the entheogenic origin of "poetic frenzy," the link between intoxication and inspiration.
