This book was released on 2000 with total page 1424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the several modern commentaries on the Gita, this one is unique in the sense it is both down to earth and fascinatingly erudite. In explaining every verse, the author, the 13th President of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, relates its real connotation and significance to not only what Shankaracharya said in his introduction to the Gita, or how Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda interpreted it in terms of practical Vedanta, but also how it conforms to the thinking of some of the greatest Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.The author also takes the readers on an enlightening voyage of discovery, where they meet Buddha, Mahavir, Tao, Christ and most of the thinkers in the West and he relates their thought by an ingenious interaction with the message of Sri Krishna. Even scientists like Einstein, famous neurologists like Charles Sherrington and poets like Wordsworth and Shelley and philosophers like Julian Huxley and Bertrand Russell are brought in by the author to give the readers an in-depth understanding of this great scripture. The author weaves every verse into the requirements of modern life and throws light on how man should lead his life while involved in his daily chores and fulfil his duties in accordance with the philosophy of action as taught by Sri Krishna. The book contains the Sanskrit slokas in Devanagari script, their English transliteration, simple meaning in English followed by explanation in English.
Download or read book Yoga Sutras written by Dennis Hill and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yoga Sutras were compiled about 2,000 years ago by the sage Patanjali from an oral tradition reaching back into unknowable antiquity. He gives us the essential wisdom for the practice of yoga and meditation to know, first hand, the essence of our true Self-the conscious indweller that enlivens this body. Experiencing the fully conscious state shows us the essential transcendent nature of the universe to bring us a state of undisturbed joyous tranquillity. Traditionally, this wisdom has been handed down from master to student as a transmission of the means to liberation. Patanjali tells us that the pure blissful inner Self is already attained and all that is required is to lose interest in that which is not the Self. This is pretty straight forward, and we learn all we need to know in the first three sutras. Presuming we will not get it the first time, he goes on to detail the nature of the Self, the practices that will awaken us, the attainments that arise from the practices and then explains about the state of final liberation. Throughout the book we are reminded of two fundamental practices that lead to the final state, kaivalya. One practice is vairagya (dispassion, non-attachment) and the other is viveka (discrimination). In the practice of viveka, we learn to discriminate between the mind and the watcher of the mind (consciousness itself). When we can rest in the state of consciousness knowing itself; we answer the question, "Who am I?" Also available from this author: The Inner Yoga of Happiness

Download or read book Nectar #32 written by Linda Prugh and published by Sarada Ramakrishna Vivekananda Associations. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A keenly vibrant and grateful world of conscious living beings who revere religion, philosophy, and spirituality, and who count themselves as lovers of Divine Reality on earth, has recently completed celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of that incomparable soul, Swami Vivekananda. And by the looks of it, it will take much more than another 150 years for the world to awaken to just who it was who came amongst them in that august form. Was it Buddha? Was it Lord Siva? Was it Jesus come again? Or was it an integrated combination of these great souls, including others, who graced this material loka – an atmic amalgam of earth-shaking proportions and ramifications? To answer more fully these intriguing questions, inquiry into the lives of a few of the Western women who met him in his recent incarnation as the Divine Lord coming into human form, attended by powerful incarnations of Shakti bent upon lifting up the very physical level of existence itself into transcendent spiritual dimensions, can be made. And that is also what Nectar of Nondual Truth aspires to in this issue, replete with articles by some of today’s followers of this exceptional personage, many of them women. The early herald of this Western contingent of fearless and faithful female followers was Sister Nivedita, whose own 150 year Sesquicentennial is upon us this year. By her given family title, Margaret Noble, she was well-named even in English, being of noble bearing and qualities, both.

Book excerpt: Surveying spiritual and philosophical traditions, this volume revives the search for wisdom for modern times. What is wisdom and how is it cultivated? These are among the most important questions we can ask, but questions that have been routinely ignored in modern times.

However, along with scientific achievements came disasters, particularly the devastation of the planet through the accelerating use of modern technology. In an era drenched in data, a desire for wisdom has been reborn. Where can we go to learn about wisdom? The answer is clear: to the worlds great religions and their accompanying philosophies and psychologies. The Worlds Great Wisdom makes these treasuries available. Practitioners from each of the great religionsas well as from Western philosophy and contemporary researchprovide summaries of their traditions understandings of wisdom, the means for cultivating it, and its implications for the modern world. This book offers distillations of the worlds accumulated wisdomancient and modern, religious and scientific, philosophical and psychological. It is a unique resource that for the first time in history brings together our collective understanding of wisdom and the ways to develop it.

Book Synopsis Random Walks in Solitude by : Anil Vishnu Moharir
Download or read book Random Walks in Solitude written by Anil Vishnu Moharir and published by Zorba Books. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random Walks In Solitude Glimpses of Religion and Spirituality through the Eyes of Modern Science The ‘Random Walks in Solitude: Glimpses of Religion and Spirituality through the Eyes of Modern Science’ is a collection of articles published by the author since 2006 AD. The topics include some of the most complex and enigmatic subjects as ‘Concept of Prana’, ‘Universal Consciousness’, ‘Scientific basis of Samudra Manthan the Proverbial Churning of Cosmic Ocean’, ‘Lord Dattatreya’, ‘Ardha-Nari-Nateshwara’ and ‘Science behind ‘Yogic Samadhi’. While doing so, the author does not claim that his interpretations on some of these enigmatic concepts are exactly true, but in the absence of any serious attempt done so far, they feel refreshing and he has attempted to re-validate religion and spirituality on scientific logic and reasons. Otherwise, we as a community were just holding them dear to our hearts for thousands of years as fanciful stories. These concepts were conceived and described by our ancient ‘Rishis’ in native terminologies and language and since then, have remained a part of our psyche in our life. Today, as professional scientists, we need to re-look to these concepts afresh from modern scientific perspective, identify and correlate them with current scientifically analogous terminologies, without losing their original perceptive meaning, they conveyed to our minds. In this respect, the logical scientific interpretations of the concepts of ‘Soul’, ‘Rebirth’, ‘Work’ and the ‘Law of Karma’, published earlier by the author, have received considerable attention and appreciation. In the same spirit, the author hopes that the readers would find this book also equally interesting, innovative, refreshing and scientifically logical to realize the continued relevance of the ‘Sanatan Vedic Philosophy’ even in the twenty first century.
Book Synopsis Delights and Disquiets of Leisure in Premodern India by :
Download or read book Delights and Disquiets of Leisure in Premodern India written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-30 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leisure is a corollary to pleasure. Essays in this historical exploration trace how leisure and recreation were often imagined and celebrated during premodern times, from the ancient to the precolonial period. This book takes into account the differential access to leisure and pleasure based on class and gender where masculinity is projected through manly sports and femininity though beauty and indulgence in the projection of recreation, entertainment and luxury. The counter-discourse representing labour for those who cater for this leisure is invisibilized as is their transactional nature. The volume dwells on the attitudes, prescribed and proscribed, and brings to the fore the differences across religious ideologies such as Brahmanism, Buddhism, Jaina and Muslim in various periods. Further it looks at leisure in the various classes and cultural spaces such as the elite, women, the king in the bed chamber, the court with dancing girls, public areas such as orchards and gardens and performance spaces.
