This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of A Symphony of Silence: An Enlightened Vision was inspired by the desire to share with humanity, through multiple voices, the ineffable beauty we experience in our lives when the veil of ignorance is pulled back and the wonder of our essential nature is revealed.. The voices emerging from these pages add vitality and validity to our shared experience of the silence of the transcendent. It is not something beyond our reach, but a reality that has always been with us, quietly awaiting an opportunity to unfold. In this second edition of A Symphony of Silence, several new voices are added to the chorus of the first edition. A Catholic priest tells us of using TM as part of his inspired vision of the power of love to transform the lives of abused and destitute children from the streets of South America. The founding director of an orphanage and school in Uganda, who likewise brings TM to children in need, describes to us his compassionate resolve to eradicate suffering within his community. A poet expresses for us in verse the joy of a seeker reaching for the light. A scientist and his colleagues show us the power of TM to reduce stress and alleviate PTSD in the field of law enforcement. An actor, director, producer, and entrepreneur, explores with us his innovative projects for inner city students through “Edutainment.” Women, who for decades dedicated themselves to introducing the TM program to their multicultural community, share with us delightful and very personal stories. A pioneering social activist brings us into the conversation he had with Maharishi in 1968 at a conference in Squaw Valley, California. He talked candidly with Maharishi about the need to introduce TM as a tool to bring inner freedom to the inner cities, helping to fulfill the quest for true civil rights. The voices in A Symphony of Silence create a glimpse into the vast impact that Maharishi has on many lives throughout the world.

Book excerpt: "Maharishi's beneficent influence on the world is both profound and subtle, immediate yet measured. Only as it continues to expand among nations and engage new generations will we be able to grasp more fully its true impact and gauge more globally the fulfillment it is bringing to all humanity. George A. Ellis, in his tribute to Maharishi, A Symphony of Silence, has begun this process for us by chronicling the far-reaching effect Maharishi has already had on science, art, philosophy, religion, education, and many other vital areas of human endeavor. Through a compelling collection of interviews, anecdotes, and essays, Mr. Ellis has assembled in a single volume the stories of a diverse group of creative thinkers, theorists, and trendsetters-leaders and lay people alike-many of whom worked directly with Maharishi and all of whose lives and contributions to the world were indelibly shaped by Maharishi's teachings. A Symphony of Silence is a potent foretaste of how the world will remember and celebrate Maharishi in the years and centuries to come." -TONY NADER, M.D., PH.D., MARR. Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D., MARR, is a medical doctor trained at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Ph.D. in neuroscience) and Harvard University, and a globally recognized Vedic scholar. Dr Nader is head of the international Transcendental Meditation(R) organizations worldwide. "Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has given to the whole world the fullness of Vedic knowledge in the effortless practice of Transcendental Meditation, thereby making it valuable for, and available to, each individual. It is also a very important and effective means for the spiritual regeneration and social reconstruction of every nation.Bringing forth the true nature of India's Vedic knowledge and unfolding it in terms of modern science was a supreme task that restored India's glory as Jagatguru, and it could only have been accomplished from the unboundedness of pure and divine Brahman Consciousness."- SHRIMAD JYOTISHPEETHADHEESHWAR JAGADGURU SHANKRACHARYA SWAMI VASUDEVANANDA SARASWATI JI MAHARAJ In the Indian editions (English & Hindi) of A Symphony of Silence: An Enlightened Vision, several new voices are added to the chorus of the earlier publications: The Shankaracharya acknowledges the significance of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's contribution and efforts to create a better world. Maharishi ji fulfilled his duty to his master by providing technologies that respect the ancient traditions of India congruent with the language and discoveries of empirically based sciences. The expositions highlight the power of innocence in unfolding and experiencing pure knowledge. The artist Nihar Das demonstrates visually his transcendental experiences in the process of creative expression. Anand Shrivastava, initiated by Maharishi ji at 7 years of age, would eventually join Maharishi ji's organization. Anand took on a comprehensive role expanding the knowledge to touch all areas of life from education to health and agriculture under the umbrella of ancient knowledge and modern science. India is transforming on multiple levels and as an economic power. Moreover, the role of women in society is evolving, the voices of Aditi Shrivastava, and Malini Durbhakula enliven a new perspective integrating the impact of higher consciousness and service to society. Neena Wagh, our precious translator shares her evolution of consciousness, illustrating the power of knowledge and technique as two sides of a coin, which is essential for rapid personal development. The author concludes with a reflection on how innocence has the power to generate enlightenment and wisdom and voices from India, such as Vivek Vaidyanathan, who highlights the insights of the new generation in Indian society, juxtaposed with business leader Mr. Navratan Agarwal, highlight the value of TM technologies in India's evolving society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live at a time when societies are riven with division and strife. What hope is there for us to heal? Healing Social Divisions provides a radically new, non-ideological and effective consciousness- based approach for transforming our societies. Peer-reviewed research provides evidence that it is possible to neutralise stress in the collective consciousness of a society. This then promotes life, liberty, happiness, heals social divisions and creates the platform for good governance. The research challenges the conventional wisdom that consciousness is only a by-product of brain functioning. Along the route it examines our self-concept, freeing us from the biases of reductionism that impede the development of morality in our public life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy' is a seminal work of Italian literature and a cornerstone of Western civilization. Written in the early 14th century, this epic poem follows the journey of the protagonist, Dante himself, through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The poem is structured in three parts, each representing one of these realms, and is filled with vivid imagery, complex allegorical references, and theological symbolism. This annotated edition provides readers with a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural context in which Dante wrote, as well as explanations of the numerous references found throughout the text. The inclusion of annotations makes this edition an invaluable resource for those seeking a thorough analysis of this masterpiece of world literature. Dante Alighieri was a Florentine poet and philosopher who drew upon his knowledge of theology, politics, and literature to create 'The Divine Comedy'. His personal experiences and political beliefs greatly influenced the themes and characters portrayed in the poem, making it a deeply personal and reflective work. Alighieri's innovative use of vernacular Italian language set a precedent for future writers and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest poets of the Middle Ages. I highly recommend 'The Divine Comedy' to readers who are interested in profound philosophical and theological reflections, as well as those seeking a rich and complex exploration of the human condition. This annotated edition offers valuable insights and interpretations that enhance the overall reading experience of this timeless classic.

Book excerpt: Humanity has sought identification of self through the guise of the ego yet not fully understanding its placement. Our ego, the identity of oneself, has been believed to be the desire for outer acceptance validating its own worth. The ego is our shadow self and can been seen as the mirror reflection in ourselves and others. Who are you without your ego? What masks do you require to hide your true, authentic self? What can you say about yourself? Do you know who you are and what you represent? Can you identify with whom you project out into the world? Are you aware that your ego has manipulated who and what you've identified about yourself in conjunction as the illusion? Humanity is undergoing a spiritual evolution where every human being is responsible for their own soul's evolution. Humans must realize that to remain of this world, we must ascend to a higher consciousness and enlightenment, becoming the dictator of our own lives, a knowing. Are you willing to delve into the hidden aspects of yourself by going on a treasure quest that will guide you back to your natural state of truth? Truth is at the heart of the matter, the one, beloved. What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Book excerpt: Millions of us are locked into an unwinnable weight game, as our self-worth is shredded with every diet failure. Combine the utter inefficacy of dieting with the lack of spiritual nourishment and we have generations of mad, ravenous self-loathing women. So says Geneen Roth, in her life-changing new book, Women, Food and God. Since her 1991 bestseller, When Food Is Love, was published, Roth has taken the sum total of her experience and combined it with spirituality and psychology to explain women's true hunger. Roth's approach to eating is that it is the same as any addiction - an activity to avoid feeling emotions. From the first page, readers will be struck by the author's intelligence, humour and sensitivity, as she traces the path of overeating from its subtle beginnings through to its logical end. Whether the drug is booze or brownies, the problem is the same: opting out of life. She powerfully urges readers to pay attention to what they truly need - which cannot be found in a supermarket. She provides seven basic guidelines for eating (the most important is to never diet) and shares reassuring, practical advice that has helped thousands of women who have attended her highly successful seminars. Truly a thinking woman's guide to eating - and an anti-diet book - women everywhere will find insights and revelations on every page.
