Download or read book Fantasy Fictions from the Bengal Renaissance written by Abanindranath Tagore and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-09 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantasy Fictions from the Bengal Renaissance presents two masterpieces of Bengali literature by Rabindranath Tagore’s nephews, Abanindranath Tagore and Gaganendranath Tagore. The Make-Believe Prince is the delightful story of a king, his two wives, a trickster monkey, a witch, and a helper from another world who is not a ‘fairy godmother’. Abanindranath deploys traditional children’s rhymes and paints exquisite word-pictures in his original rendering of a tale which has its roots in Bengali folktale materials in various genres. Toddy-Cat the Bold sees a group of brave comrades seek help from a young boy to rescue the son of their leader from the Two-Faced Rakshasa of the forest. Here, a more numinous supernatural helper appears. Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice books, it presents a comic, exciting, and mysterious journey quite unlike Carroll’s, with many traditional local touches and an unexpected ending.

Book excerpt: The movement known as Hindu Resurgence, Hindu Awakening or Hindu Renaissance has become increasingly noticeable, and there is a distinct effort to liberate Hinduism from the definitions andlimitations imposed by the domination of hostile outsiders. However, confusion and lack of proper information are still serious obstacles on the path of proper understanding and realisation. India, or as it was called in ancient times, Bharata Varsha, has an immense potential that can be materialised simply by returning to the correctoriginal perspective of the golden Vedic civilisation that is the natural heritage of all Indians and in fact of all human beings.The Rig Veda samhita (9.63.5) points us in the correct direction: Krinvanto visvam aryam, "Let everyone become arya"

Download or read book Reviving Hinduism written by Prakasarao Velagapudi Ph D and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, Hindus have slowly forgotten the amazing treasures that are hidden in the land of Bharath. The resilience of Hindu mind; suppleness of its soul; suppleness of Hindu character; gracefulness of Hindu cultures; equanimity of Hindu moral compass; gracefulness of Hindu traditions; the inner strength of Hindu scriptures; sacredness of rivers, mountains, animals and trees; the genuineness of the simple living and high thinking; the astounding principles of ahimsa - belief in nonviolence, grandeur of the principle of Vasudaika Kutumbam; the potency of spiritual life and glory that was and is Bharath; and all-embracing live and let live principles are the gems that are essential for the survival of Hinduism and human race itself. The richness of Bharath was clouded by ignorance, her glory seared with communalism, enveloped with the fog of secularism. The Hindu pride was tarnished with greed and smeared with Macaulyism. The future of Bharath looks bleak, depressing and miserable. Bharath Mata is attacked from all quarters. She is not even spared by vocal Hindu secularists, liberals and communists. Media has created havoc by denouncing the Hindus, Saints and Hindu organizations and leaders. Beneath every Hindu, there is the presence of divinity, dharma, spirituality and ahimsa. Somehow, he has forsaken the ancient richness and allowed it to be smeared with greed, name, fame, power, position, wealth and recognition that only satiate the present not the future. Divine intervention can only reverse the trend and malaise. Hinduism is being attacked by selected Hindus as well as the two Abrahamic religions. Patience, tolerance and ahimsa made Hinduism a defenseless religion in the world. It has become a soft target with no retaliation or any plan to protect itself from enemies both within and without. Unlike other two major religions, Hinduism does not preach for expansion, does not believe in terrorism and does not practice deceptive techniques to convert people; nor do they believe in the expansion through conversion techniques. Their emphasis is on the development of the individual, self-improvement and enlightenment.

Book excerpt: This second, revised and enlarged edition looks back at the aspirations and struggle of the marginalised Dalit masses and looks forward to a new humanity based on equality, social justice and human dignity.

In a way, it is secular. Anyone who is on the way to Godhood can learn a lot from this book, irrespective of his religion. It can help one to understand what the saints of every religion had experienced from their initiation to the ultimate state. It is the Oriental Wisdom in its true form and practical demonstration. Its basis is the secret knowledge that the Indian Yogis hold close to their hearts. The scholars of Oriental disciplines can also learn much from it. It narrates many a phenomenon of Yoga with actual experiences and their explanation, including those of the mysterious Kundalini.It is a must read for all interested in the mysteries of Yoga and Kundalini which the Siddha Yogis rarely reveal to all. The author Vibhakar Lele is from the tradition of Siddha Yogis from the Natha sect from Saint Dnyaneshwar who has revealed many secrets of Yoga with experiences on the Path.

It contains an overall review for the beginners from the Yogic perspective and an all-too-important commentary on the mysterious Kundalini. Science has never explained fully the real basis of life as we know it. Overall, it may satisfy all the craving for the mysterious and the unknown that is never even scraped by modern science. It also gives an understanding of the riddle of the Universe and Life which stands alternatively explained in most cogent terms by the Yogis and Indian philosophers, in their own way. Just please have a look inside the book and decide for yourself. It is deemed to be a book worth keeping and preserving for a lifetime to be passed down the generations for real wisdom of Who We Are and How We achieve the Kingdom that belongs to us, the Nirvana, the Moksha, or whatever one prefers to call it, the Heavens, the Godhood et al. The reader, too, like so many others before him, is expected to find this book vastly entertaining and opening the vista upon a secret dimension that is life of a human being upon this planet. Those who are curious about Yogic experiences will most likely have their curiosity satisfied. Others who are having such experiences themselves may, no doubt, be happy to find clues and explanation to their mysterious experiences. the author would be happy if it be so. If the book adds to your knowledge of Yoga and Gita-Dnyaneshwari, at least a modicum, the author will say that this book has achieved what it was brought forth for.
