Book Synopsis The Strides of Vishnu by : Ariel Glucklich
Download or read book The Strides of Vishnu written by Ariel Glucklich and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books about Hinduism often begin by noting the immense size and complexity of the subject. Hinduism is vast and diverse, they say. Or it doesn't exist at all - Hinduism is merely a convenient (and foreign) term that masks a plurality of traditions. In either case, readers are discouraged by the sense that they are getting only a tiny sample or a shallow overview of something huge and impossible to understand. This book is designed to be accessible and comprehensive in a way that other introductions are not, maintaining an appealing narrative and holding the reader's interest in the unfolding sequence of ideas through time and place. Each of the 13 chapters combines historical material with key religious and philosophical ideas, supported by substantial quotations from scriptures and other texts. The overarching organizational principle is a historical narrative largely grounded in archaeological information. Historic places and persons are fleshed out as actors in a narrative about the relation of the sacred to ordinary existence as it is mediated through arts, sciences, rituals, and philosophical ideas. Although many books purport to introduce the Hindu tradition, this is the only one with a broad historical focus that emphasizes archaeological as well as textual evidence. It will nicely complement Vasuda Narayanan's forthcoming introduction, which takes the opposite approach of focusing on the lived experience of Hindu believers.

Download or read book The Upanishads written by Vernon Katz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new translation of The Upanishads is at once delightfully simple and rigorously learned, providing today’s readers with an accurate, accessible rendering of the core work of ancient Indian philosophy. The Upanishads are often considered the most important literature from ancient India. Yet many academic translators fail to capture the work’s philosophical and spiritual subtlety, while others convey its poetry at the cost of literal meaning. This new translation by Vernon Katz and Thomas Egenes fills the need for an Upanishads that is clear, simple, and insightful – yet remains faithful to the original Sanskrit. As Western Sanskrit scholars who have spent their lives immersed in meditative practice, Katz and Egenes offer a unique perspective in penetrating the depths of Eastern wisdom and expressing these insights in modern yet poetic language. Their historical introduction is suited to newcomers and experienced readers alike, providing the perfect entry to this unparalleled work.
Download or read book The Upanishads written by Eknath Easwaran and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Upanishads: one of three new editions of the books in Eknath Easwaran's Classics of Indian Spirituality series You are what your deep driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny. - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (IV.4.5) Over two thousand years ago, the sages of India embarked on an extraordinary experiment. While others were exploring the external world, they turned inward - to explore consciousness itself. In the changing flow of human thought, they asked, is there anything that remains the same? They found that there is indeed a changeless Reality underlying the ebb and flow of life. Their discoveries are an expression of what Aldous Huxley called the Perennial Philosophy, the wellspring of all religious faith that assures us that God-realization is within human reach. The Upanishads are the sages' wisdom, given in intense sessions of spiritual instruction in ashrams, in family gatherings, in a royal court, in the kingdom of Death himself. And Easwaran shows how these teachings are just as relevant to us now as they ever were centuries ago.

Book Synopsis Shvetashvatara Upanishad: Essence and Sanskrit Grammar by : Ashwini Kumar Aggarwal
Download or read book Shvetashvatara Upanishad: Essence and Sanskrit Grammar written by Ashwini Kumar Aggarwal and published by Devotees of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ashram. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those verses in the Vedas that amplify the greatness of man, his soul's journey, and his ultimate purpose are termed as Upanishads. Traditionally the verses in each Veda have been classified as Mantra portion or Brahmana portion. Within the Brahmana portion, there is a further sub-classification of verses, namely Brahmana-Aranyaka-Upanishad. Technically Brahmana means planning, discussion & analysis. Aranyaka means research & philosophy. Upanishad means essential thought or guiding principle. Shvetashvatara is from the Krishna Yajurveda. It develops the concept of Brahman, a loving compassionate fluid that permeates all beings and the entire Creation. Only the inward senses can glimpse it, only a brave seeker can attempt the discovery. ------------------------------------------- Contains Original verses in Sanskrit with a Latin transliteration and a lucid English commentary. य एको जालवानीशत ईशनीभिः सर्वांल्लोकानीशत ईशनीभिः । य एवैक उद्भवे सम्भवे च य एतद्विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति ॥ ३.१ एको हि रुद्रो न द्वितीयाय तस्थुर्य इमांल्लोकानीशत ईशनीभिः । प्रत्यङ्जनांस्तिष्ठति सञ्चुकोचान्तकाले संसृज्य विश्वा भुवनानि गोपाः ॥ ३.२ ya eko jālavānīśata īśanībhiḥ sarvām̐llokānīśata īśanībhiḥ । ya evaika udbhave sambhave ca ya etadviduramṛtāste bhavanti ॥ 3.1 eko hi rudro na dvitīyāya tasthurya imām̐llokānīśata īśanībhiḥ । pratyaṅ janāṃstiṣṭhati sañcukocāntakāle saṃsṛjya viśvā bhuvanāni gopāḥ ॥ 3.2 3.1 When all men wake up, who wakes them up? When all men sleep who puts them to slumber? Ponder ponder. When we see incredible talents blossom in men all over the world, who is responsible for infusing them in the first place? Is there a Lord of the universe? Is there someone who protects the tender saplings and watches over the babies? Rare are the folk who wonder and ponder on such inscrutable tracks. Those who so venture on these lonely paths, surely attain the Supreme. They get rid of their frustrations and anxieties, they are elevated to a plane bereft of turmoil. 3.2 There is one fluid that flows in each man. This fluid is the same in each, irrespective of different emotions, currents, and tendencies that are secondary and less important. The common current in all is not easily perceived, it continues unabated and in full strength, irrespective of circumstances, events, age or any phenomena.

Book Synopsis The Great Transformation by : Karen Armstrong
Download or read book The Great Transformation written by Karen Armstrong and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the world’s leading writers on religion and the highly acclaimed author of the bestselling A History of God, The Battle for God and The Spiral Staircase, comes a major new work: a chronicle of one of the most important intellectual revolutions in world history and its relevance to our own time. In one astonishing, short period – the ninth century BCE – the peoples of four distinct regions of the civilized world created the religious and philosophical traditions that have continued to nourish humanity into the present day: Confucianism and Daoism in China; Hinduism and Buddhism in India; monotheism in Israel; and philosophical rationalism in Greece. Historians call this the Axial Age because of its central importance to humanity’s spiritual development. Now, Karen Armstrong traces the rise and development of this transformative moment in history, examining the brilliant contributions to these traditions made by such figures as the Buddha, Socrates, Confucius and Ezekiel. Armstrong makes clear that despite some differences of emphasis, there was remarkable consensus among these religions and philosophies: each insisted on the primacy of compassion over hatred and violence. She illuminates what this “family” resemblance reveals about the religious impulse and quest of humankind. And she goes beyond spiritual archaeology, delving into the ways in which these Axial Age beliefs can present an instructive and thought-provoking challenge to the ways we think about and practice religion today. A revelation of humankind’s early shared imperatives, yearnings and inspired solutions – as salutary as it is fascinating. Excerpt from The Great Transformation: In our global world, we can no longer afford a parochial or exclusive vision. We must learn to live and behave as though people in remote parts of the globe were as important as ourselves. The sages of the Axial Age did not create their compassionate ethic in idyllic circumstances. Each tradition developed in societies like our own that were torn apart by violence and warfare as never before; indeed, the first catalyst of religious change was usually a visceral rejection of the aggression that the sages witnessed all around them. . . . All the great traditions that were created at this time are in agreement about the supreme importance of charity and benevolence, and this tells us something important about our humanity.
