Download or read book Unity in the Diversity of Different Religions written by Daljit Singh Jawa and published by Xlibris Us. This book was released on 2017-07-29 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present book entitled Unity in the Diversity of Different Religions, with the help of specific quotes and many true or mythical stories, the author illustrates that even though religions of the world may appear very different from one another in their rituals or ways of worship, at their core, they all teach us to be good human beings. They all teach us to practice virtues (like love, compassion, and forgiveness) and to forsake sinful tendencies (like lust, anger, greed, and ego). The author hopes that the readers would enjoy these quotes and stories and find that beside their own religion, other religions also have good things to tell, which we need to share with our friends, particularly young children, so that this world may eventually become like heaven on earth, where people of all faiths are blossoming and spreading their beauty and fragrance for all to enjoy.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text offers an alternative to the case-driven approach that the sole use of a reader tends to foster. It provides students with ways of conceptualizing what religion is, what its social and psychological functions are, the nature of religious symbolism and religious behaviour, and the organizational structure of religions. All the standard topics are covered (e.g., ideology and symbolism, ritual and ceremony, organizational forms, and social and psychological functions of religion) as well as ones of more recent interest such as religion and gender, the psychology of religion, and pilgrimage. - Extended narrative examples illustrate the theoretical and analytic discussions in the text, expose students to a variety of different religions, and provide real-world examples of the concepts of each chapter. - An integrated student study guide (self-test materials) at the end of each chapter allows students to evaluate their own mastery of each chapter, determine what they need to review further, and prepare for course tests. - The text is copiously illustrated with ethnographic examples from both western and non-western religions.

Download or read book American Veda written by Philip Goldberg and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at India’s remarkable impact on Western culture, this eye-opening popular history shows how the ancient philosophy of Vedanta and the mind-body methods of Yoga have profoundly affected the worldview of millions of Americans and radically altered the religious landscape. What exploded in the 1960s, following the Beatles trip to India for an extended stay with their new guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, actually began more than two hundred years earlier, when the United States started importing knowledge--as well as tangy spices and colorful fabrics--from Asia. The first translations of Hindu texts found their way into the libraries of John Adams and Ralph Waldo Emerson. From there the ideas spread to Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and succeeding generations of receptive Americans, who absorbed India’s “science of consciousness” and wove it into the fabric of their lives. Charismatic teachers like Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda came west in waves, prompting leading intellectuals, artists, and scientists such as Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, Allen Ginsberg, J. D. Salinger, John Coltrane, Dean Ornish, and Richard Alpert, aka Ram Dass, to adapt and disseminate what they learned from them. The impact has been enormous, enlarging our current understanding of the mind and body and dramatically changing how we view ourselves and our place in the cosmos. Goldberg paints a compelling picture of this remarkable East-to-West transmission, showing how it accelerated through the decades and eventually moved from the counterculture into our laboratories, libraries, and living rooms. Now physicians and therapists routinely recommend meditation, words like karma and mantra are part of our everyday vocabulary, and Yoga studios are as ubiquitous as Starbuckses. The insights of India’s sages permeate so much of what we think, believe, and do that they have redefined the meaning of life for millions of Americans—and continue to do so every day. Rich in detail and expansive in scope, American Veda shows how we have come to accept and live by the central teaching of Vedic wisdom: “Truth is one, the wise call it by many names.”
Book Synopsis The Theology of Unity by : Muhammad 'Abduh
Download or read book The Theology of Unity written by Muhammad 'Abduh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-19 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1966, this was the first of Muhammad ‘Abduh’s works to be translated into English. Risālat al Tauhid represents the most popular of his discussion of Islamic thought and belief. ‘Abduh is still quoted and revered as the father of 20th Century Muslim thinking in the Arab world and his mind, here accessible, constituted both courageous and strenuous leadership in his day. All the concerns and claims of successive exponents of duty and meaning of the mosque in the modern world may be sensed in these pages. The world and Islam have moved on since ‘Abduh’s lifetime, but he remains a source for the historian of contemporary movements and a valuable index to the self-awareness of Arab Islam.

Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Prayer by : Thomas W. Shepherd
Download or read book The Many Faces of Prayer written by Thomas W. Shepherd and published by Unity Books. This book was released on 2013-02-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is prayer obsolete? Some people think so. "Prayer is trying to telepathically communicate with your imaginary friend," says comedian and outspoken atheist Bill Mahr. Yet prayer thrives everywhere. Great crowds of Christian worshipers gather every Sunday to raise hands and glorify God. Muslin faithful kneel in prayer five times a day. Hindus often pray three times daily, chanting with beads, reading from sacred books, and singing devotional songs. Many traditions meditate, which is the preferred spiritual discipline of Buddhists. Yet, some would argue all this prayer is nothing more than talking to the ceiling. What does prayer mean to postmodern humans, who have abandoned supernatural explanations for a scientific model of the Cosmos? Are they all in denial, or deluding themselves into believing their prayers are being heard? The Many Faces of Prayer takes you on a journey from the stone temples of prehistoric peoples to the high-tech churches of the 21st century.
Book Synopsis For the Good of the Church by : Gabrielle Thomas
Download or read book For the Good of the Church written by Gabrielle Thomas and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we need to learn and receive from the other to help us address challenges or wounds in our own tradition? That is the key question asked in what has come to be known as ‘receptive ecumenism’. And nowhere is this question more pressing and pertinent than in women’s experiences within the church. Based on qualitative research from five focus groups, 'For the Good of the Church' expose the difficulties women face when they work in a church – sexism, unfulfilled vocation, and abuse of power and privilege, as well as the wide range of gifts and skills which women bring in light of these. The second part of the book continues to draw on the particular wounds and gifts, which arise in the focus groups. Specific case studies are used to identify gifts of theology, practice, experience, vocation and power. Against negative prognoses of an ‘ecumenical winter’, Gabrielle Thomas reveals how radically different theological and ecclesiological perspectives can be a space for learning and receiving gifts for the well-being of the whole Church.
