Book excerpt: Sri Rudram is considered as the heart of Krishna Yajur Veda, because Sri Rudram occupies the central part of Krishna Yajur Veda. Out of entire Sri Rudram, Namahshivaya, the Panchakshara mantra occupies the central point. Sri Rudram is also known as Rudra Upanishad. It is called so because, recitation of Sri Rudram removes our vasana-s (the impression of anything remaining unconsciously in the mind, the present consciousness of past perceptions), by imparting higher spiritual knowledge like Upanishad-s. It is also said that gods are satiated if Sri Rudram is chanted and hence it is also called Shatarudriya, which means one hundred ways of glorifying Rudra. If a tree is watered regularly, it grows with huge foliage. Similarly, if Sri Rudram is chanted, all gods are pleased. Further, recitation of Sri Rudram is considered as a remedy for all types of sins. References are available in certain Upanishads about Sri Rudram. Sri Rudram is an exclusive gift of Krishna Yajur Veda and only selected verses are found in Rig Veda. It is also known as "namakam" as it contains number of namaha. There are 11 stanzas (anuvaka - division or subdivision of Vedas) in Sri Rudram. These anuvaka-s are arranged in an order. In the first anuvaka is a prayer to an angry Rudra. Rudra is upset with those who did not obey His orders and in order to calm Him, prayers are offered to Him. Rudra becomes angry when adharma prevails over dharma.Camakam makes tears roll down the eyes due to its wonderful formation producing rhythmic waves. Camakam follows Sri Rudram recitation. There are repetition of ca after each word and hence it is called Camakam. It is also called vasordhara, which involves continuous flow of ghee (clarified butter) into the yajna fire, by reciting Camakam non-stop. Camakam is a prayer seeking riches and mental strength. There are 11 anuvaka-s and each word is followed by ca me, where ca means and/also; and me means me (I). It is important to note that all the prayers are only for the benefit of the individual concerned. From the ritualistic point of view, unless sankalapa is taken, benefits of these mantras will not accrue to others. However, benefits of listening to Chamakam will always be there for others. This book contains interpretation of both Sri Rudram and Camakam.

Book excerpt: This book offers a translation of the seven thousand verses of the second book of the medieval Hindu text, the Ganesa Purana, one of two Puranas dedicated to the important elephant-headed god. In this book the reader is given many narratives about Ganesas ascent to earth in order to kill demonic figures who threaten to overthrow the correct world order. In addition, these narratives contain myths about Ganesa's birth and family as well as some extended and quite humorous myths about ideal devotees of the god.The translation is preceded by a long introduction offering a geographical and historical context for the GanesaPurana. Following the translation are very extensive notes which bring our points of philological interest, but focus mainly on the literary structure of the text and the methods used to present the many myths and narratives in a coherent and fully integrated manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the three great gods of Hinduism, Siva is a living god. The most sacred and most ancient book of India, The Rg Veda, evokes his presence in its hymns; Vedic myths, rituals, and even astronomy testify to his existence from the dawn of time. In a lively meditation on Siva--based on original Sanskrit texts, many translated here for the first time--Stella Kramrisch ponders the metaphysics, ontology, and myths of Siva from the Vedas and the Puranas. Who is Siva? Who is this god whose being comprises and transcends everything? From the dawn of creation, the Wild God, the Great Yogi, the sum of all opposites, has been guardian of the absolute. By retelling and interweaving the many myths that keep Siva alive in India today, Kramrisch reveals the paradoxes in Siva's nature and thus in the nature of consciousness itself.

Book excerpt: How big was the ancient city of Ayodhya? Why is this city so significant for Hindus? Who established the city and what did it look like? What did Lord Rama and Devi Sita's palace look like? What sort of animals were found in this ancient land? No one grows up in India untouched by the beautiful story of Lord Rama and Devi Sita. Every Dussehra we celebrate the victory of Rama over Ravana, the victory of good over evil. Every Deepavali, we commemorate the return of Rama and Sita to Ayodhya and hear the tale of how the entire city was lit up to receive their beloved king and queen. But is the magnificent capital of Ayodhya just limited to this? Ayodhya was a renowned pilgrimage destination since the dawn of mankind, and after the birth of Lord Rama, it became a place of supreme importance for Hindus. Amazing Ayodhya is an attempt in gaining knowledge about this ancient city-its architecture, its design, its buildings and all the splendid details during the era when Lord Rama walked this earth. This splendidly researched book, replete with shlokas from the Valmiki Ramayana, offers authentic information about the city which will not only help understand the life and times of ancient Hindus but also the revered figures of Rama and Sita. Replete with descriptions, author Neena Rai draws out comparisons of an earlier era with our current life and culture, thus connecting the past with the present. She further compares Ayodhya with the cultures of other ancient civilisations so that the reader feels 'connected' to the past and the content of the book appears 'contemporary'. A fascinating account of an ancient city with significant contemporary relevance, Amazing Ayodhya is a must-read for a better understanding of history, scriptures and Hindu civilisation.

Tracing the genesis of Hinduism to pre-Indus Valley period, the book explains Hindu, Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma, before it takes one through Hinduism’s oldest scriptures - the four Vedas, the four components of each Veda, and what they contain. How all original translations of Vedic texts were done by Western Sanskrit scholars, and why their works have left scope for doubt about the fidelity of translations.

The reader will be taken aback reading the sheer size and scale of Soma yajna, described step by step, in great detail. Hinduism’s journey to the Age of Reason, the Upanishads, its encounter with Buddhism, and its transformation into idol worshipping society with many gods and a multitude of stories about its millions of gods is lucidly explained. Puranas, what they contain and what was the reason they were created, has been described and explained next. Hinduism's journey to its modern form - idol worship, the modern puja, detailed description of puja and Sanskaras like Vivaha, their detailed description, the meaning of each action and how they are conducted, the gift to the priest, types of idols, their consecration, all are explained to help a reader understand the why and the how of what we do as a Hindu. The book concludes with a discussion of - Do mantras have power? & Do rituals have meaning?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Rudram has been described by some of the Vedic scholars as “Yajusham Saaram,” or the essence of the entire Yajur Vedam. It has 169 Manthrams, organized in eleven Anuvakaas or chapters. Sri Rudram is also known RudrOpanishad and Sata Rudreeyam. The latter name is associated with the fact that the Upasana Moorthy of Sri Rudram is praised in all the 101 branches (Sakas) of Yajur Vedam as inferred from the comment of Sri Bhatta Bhaskara, a celebrated commentator (Bhashyakarar) of Sri Rudram. Besides Sri Bhatta Bhaskara, Sri Sayana, Sri Abhinava Sankara and, most recently, Brahma Sri Mutthu Krishna Sastrigal have written commentaries on Sri Rudram. Brahma Sri Sastrigal's commentary is in Tamil and was published approximately Fifty-five years ago as a Hitha Bhashini release from Tanjavoor. Sri Sayana's commentary, on the other hand, dates back to the era of the Vijaya Nagara empire. The Abhinava Sankara's Bhasyam includes the listing of appropriate Rishis (Sages), Chandas (Meters) and Devathaas (Godheads) for each of the 169 Manthras as required for the individual Veda Mantrams . The present commentary in English is based on the above original sources in general and on Brahma Sri Mutthu KrishNa Sastrigal's commentaries in particular. The purpose of adding yet another commentary on Sri Rudram is to address the needs of overseas Residents of Indian origin, who worship Lord Siva at the many Hindu Temples and in their own homes across the landscape of the many continents. It is sincerely hoped that this publication would serve the goals of gaining a fuller appreciation by them of the majesty and beauty of Sri Rudram as a Veda BhAgam . As a Sri VaishNavan and a Prapannan totally committed to Kaayika , Vaachika and Maanasa Kaimkaryams to Sriman NaarAyaNan , I have been moved by the Prapatti made by Sri Rudran to His Supreme Master , Sriman NarAyaNan in the Mantra Raaja Padha StOtram and in AhirBudhnya Samhita .Lord Sri Rudra-Sivan is recognized and revered as a Parama Bhaagavta , Prapannan and a Sarvajn~an by ParamaikAnti Sri VaishNavaas including Swamy Desikan . Sri Rudran emphasises in His SaraNAgathi that He is a dhAsabhUtan (liege) of Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Book: The book explores the relation between the Divine Reality and the ritualistic worship practised by Hindus. The first chapter describes interpretations of the symbols used by Rishis in Rig Vedic hymns and of important slokas of Isha Upanishad and also describes the Vedic and Sankhyaic Paradigms, which are frameworks for the knowledge embodying Creation. In the following three chapters, discussions of the origins of the Vedas and the evolution of Vedic auxiliary texts are provided. In most Hindu households, worshippers seldom discuss the spiritual significance of mantras and sthothrams making it appear that the Gods they worship are different from reality. The fifth and following chapters are interpretations of the Lalitha and Vishnu sahasranaamas, Ganapathi Vaibhavam, Sri Rudra and Gajendra Moksham including their spiritual context. About the Author: Sridhar Chitta is a retired Professor of Electronics and Communication Engineering after several years of service in industries in India, the Middle East and Canada. When discussing spiritual matters with friends and colleagues, he noted their lack of awareness of the spiritual context of daily worship and felt a strong desire to write a book that discusses the connection. Sri Aurobindo's scholarly interpretation of the Vedas and Upanishads made a deep impression on him and led him to explore the spiritual significance of the sahasranaamas and sthothrams of Hindu Devathas. After spending more than 5 years researching and listening to a few hundred discourses, he began writing The Knowledge in the Vedas in 2018. He presently resides in Hyderabad, India and continues to explore spirituality. He has also authored Fundamentals of Electric Theory and Circuits, marketed by Wiley, India.
