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.

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: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
