Book Synopsis The Untold Story of the Bhagavad Gita by : Dharma Kamata
Download or read book The Untold Story of the Bhagavad Gita written by Dharma Kamata and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike all available commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, which interpret it in the Mahabharata epic context, this book interprets it in the historical context. This context has to do with historical processes and events that led to the creation of the Original Gita, known as Arjuna Vishada, and its subsequent expansion to the revered theistic-philosophical masterpiece known as the Bhagavad Gita-Upanishad. It deals with the questions such as who created the Original Gita, when, and for what specific purpose? Why did Upanishadists add shlokas to this 77-shloka long metaphoric poem? How did Bhagavatas enter into this equation? Without the knowledge of the historical context of shlokas related to these three distinct Dharmas based on three distinct pairs of doctrines, it is impossible to reveal the true intent and spirit of the Bhagavad Gita.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I remember I adored my father in my youth and wanted to be like him when I grew up. Now I am eighty- five years going into eighty-six. I can’t say I am anything like him. When I was a child, life was different. Being one of the ten children made life more complex. I was the seventh child and the third daughter. So, I barely knew my father. He was always there in the house commanding respect. No one was given any especial attention. But everyone received care and love. In documenting his life, I had to rely on my memory of the things I absorbed form a distance. A word, a phrase, a comment, said during events.” Rosaly Puthucheary, teacher, writer, poet, mother, sister, daughter. “There is something cathartic about reading one’s own family in relation to historical events that define the psyche of a Nation, it simply gives greater context to our own existence.” Sanjay C Kuttan, writer, poet, son. “A riveting story of a young man with big dreams who arrives in Singapore from Kerala in the early 1900s.” Dr Anitha Devi Pillai, Senior Lecturer, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the people living in Trinidad would agree that mystery shines throughout the island. But it might only be a small number who realizes that such mystery, to a large extent, owes its existence to Indian spirituality. In the Village of Waterloo, for example, there is the well-known Temple in the Sea. There is a Lingam (sacred stone) with a natural imprint of a cobra. The cobra is a form of Lord Shiva – a Hindu deity. And there is a strange fruit that puzzles people about its existence. What is behind it all? The answer is Indian Spirituality. In addition to showing how they are all connected; this book takes the reader on a journey to explore the spirituality embedded within the various places of interest in the village, as well; it explores the village’s 160-plus year history of sugar operation and some aspects of Indian immigration into the Caribbean during the colonial period.
Book Synopsis The Saffron Surge Untold Story of RSS Leadership by : Arun Anand
Download or read book The Saffron Surge Untold Story of RSS Leadership written by Arun Anand and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Right since its inception; there has been a tradition in the RSS of not highlighting the work of an individual; so the lives and work done by the Sarsanghchalaks have not been discussed publicly much. The general perception is that the RSS chief (Sarsanghchalak) is one of the most powerful persons in the country as he holds sway over millions of swayamsevaks (volunteers) and dozens of organisations run by these swayamsevaks including the Bharatiya Janata Party which rules at the Centre as well as in several states. But what is the truth? What role Sarsanghchalaks have played in shaping the RSS? This well researched book takes one through the lives of the five Sarsanghchalaks who had steered RSS since its inception through one of its most tumultuous years. It tells a hitherto untold story about not only the lives of the Sarsanghchalaks but also the journey of the RSS itself.
Book Synopsis Big Billion Startup: The Untold Flipkart Story by : Mihir Dalal
Download or read book Big Billion Startup: The Untold Flipkart Story written by Mihir Dalal and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2019-10-06 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive account of India’s biggest startup that redefined e-commerce, entrepreneurship and the way we shop and live. IIT graduates Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal founded out of a Bangalore apartment what would become India’s biggest e-commerce startup. Established in October 2007, Flipkart began as an online bookstore and soon came to be known for its ‘customer obsession’. As the startup’s reputation grew, so did its value, with venture capitalists in India and abroad lining up to invest heavily in the company that stood for bold ambition, unabashed consumerism and the virtues of technology. Investigative journalist Mihir Dalal recounts the astounding story of how the Bansals built Flipkart into a multi-billion-dollar powerhouse in the span of a few years and made internet entrepreneurship a desirable occupation. But it is also a story of big money, power and hubris, as both business and interpersonal complexities weakened the founders’ control over their creation and forced them to sell out to a retailer whose dominance they had once dreamt of emulating. Flipkart’s auction involved some of the corporate world’s biggest names, from Jeff Bezos, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai to Masayoshi Son and Doug McMillon, an ironic testimony to the strength of what the Bansals had forged. Based on extraordinary research, extensive interviews and deep access to key characters in the Flipkart story, Big Billion Startup is the riveting and revealing account of how Sachin and Binny Bansal built and sold India’s largest internet company.
Book Synopsis Ashoka's Song in the Bhagavad Gita by : Dharma Kamata
Download or read book Ashoka's Song in the Bhagavad Gita written by Dharma Kamata and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in history, this book reveals direct connection between Ashoka the Great's Edicts and the Bhagavad Gita. It explains how the Vedic Dharma (religion) decayed over several centuries before Ashoka's rule due to its obsession with a animal sacrifices. As a result of degradation of the Vedic Dharma, there arose much loss of culture, civility and etiquette in India. Following the Great Kalinga War (262 BCE) Ashoka suffered from three maladies: Grief, ambivalence about his own Dharma (religion) and fear of sin. To cope with these three maladies, Ashoka took three decisive actions, which posed existential threat to the contemporary Dharmas of India: Brahmanism, Upanishadism and Bhagavatism. His First Deed was to abandon Kshatriya Dharma (warrior class duty based on Brahmanic Guna-Karma doctrine). His Second Deed was to replace Brahmanism with Ashokadharma. His Third Deed was to exhort people of all Dharmas to abandon their Dharmas and join his Dharma, which would liberate them from all their sins. In response to Ashoka's First Deed, Brahmanic poet created Arjuna Vishada Gita, a parody of Ashoka's discomfiture on the battlefield of Kalinga. The message of this 70-shloka long poem was that warriors should follow example of Arjuna in the story and not Ashoka in real life. In response to Ashoka's Second Deed, Upanishadic poet created the Upanishadic Gita in two stages. Seizing the initiative from Ashoka, the poet offered Upanishadism as an alternative to both decadent Brahmanism and Ashokadharma. In response to Ashoka's Third Deed, a Bhagavata poet offered Bhagavatism centered on Lord Krishna lone as the alternative to all Dharmas of India, and seizing the initiative from Ashoka, the poet exhorted all people of India: Abandon all Dharmas and surrender unto Me alone, I shall deliver you from all evil. Do not grieve. In the course of time, using the Bhagavad Gita as their guide, chastened Brahmanic pundits reformed decadent Brahmanism; renounced animal sacrifices, declared cows as sacred, appointed Lord Krishna as the protector of cows (Govinda, Gopala), and encouraged vegetarianism. They appointed the minor Vedic god Vishnu as Parameshwara, demoted Lord Krishna as one of His Avataras, swallowed Bhagavatism, and promoted Vaishnavism. They renounced the ancient Vedic gods, created an entirely new set of gods, and created numerous elaborate mythologies to enthrall the adherents. And they reintroduced their ancient traditions, fire worship and rituals in disguised forms. They added to the vertical Varna Dharma (class system) horizontal Jati Dharma (caste-system), and created thousands of Jatis. They fabricated thousands of superstitions to encourage people to perform various rituals to counter them. Thus they re-conquered hearts of naive people. This was how, in response to the existential threat Ashoka posed, Brahmanic pundits delivered their decadent Dharma in its disguised form as the Dharma of people living east of Sindhu River -Hinduism. By and by, Hindus managed to destroy Ashokadharma, Ashoka's legacy, his memory and most of his monuments. Aside from Ashoka's Edicts, the Bhagavad Gita is the only other contemporary source of information on Ashoka the Great. We can still hear echoes of Ashoka's Song in the secret codes of the Bhagavad Gita. Thus the central theme of the Bhagavad Gita -Arjuna Vishada- was born on the battlefield of Kalinga at the base of Dhauli hill 8 kilometer south of the modern city of Bhubaneswar, and not on the mythical battlefield of Kurukshetra. That Ashoka was responsible for making Buddhism a World Religion is a well-known fact. However, few people know that he instigated the creation of the Bhagavad Gita-Upanishad, and consequent birth of Hinduism. Welcome to the fascinating story of Ashoka's Song in the Bhagavad Gita."

Book Synopsis The Bhagavad Gita by : Richard H. Davis
Download or read book The Bhagavad Gita written by Richard H. Davis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life and times of India's most famous spiritual and literary masterpiece The Bhagavad Gita, perhaps the most famous of all Indian scriptures, is universally regarded as one of the world's spiritual and literary masterpieces. Richard Davis tells the story of this venerable and enduring book, from its origins in ancient India to its reception today as a spiritual classic that has been translated into more than seventy-five languages. The Gita opens on the eve of a mighty battle, when the warrior Arjuna is overwhelmed by despair and refuses to fight. He turns to his charioteer, Krishna, who counsels him on why he must. In the dialogue that follows, Arjuna comes to realize that the true battle is for his own soul. Davis highlights the place of this legendary dialogue in classical Indian culture, and then examines how it has lived on in diverse settings and contexts. He looks at the medieval devotional traditions surrounding the divine character of Krishna and traces how the Gita traveled from India to the West, where it found admirers in such figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Aldous Huxley. Davis explores how Indian nationalists like Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda used the Gita in their fight against colonial rule, and how contemporary interpreters reanimate and perform this classical work for audiences today. An essential biography of a timeless masterpiece, this book is an ideal introduction to the Gita and its insights into the struggle for self-mastery that we all must wage.
