Download or read book Echoes of Ancient Indian Wisdom written by Shantha N. Nair and published by Pustak Mahal. This book was released on 2008 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The echoes of ancient Indian wisdom can be heard from the oldest of scriptures that existed many years ago. Even thousands of years before they were written down on palm leaves, the teachings were passed on from generations to generations, from the teachers to the disciples in their oral form. These works are amongst the oldest of humanity. They laid the foundation of one of the most tolerant and diverse religions in the world, the Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism, which is marked by a wide range of ethos and philosophical approaches. Covering the vastness and immensity of the ancient Indian scriptures is akin to capturing a gigantic ocean in a small pitcher. Thus, in this book, the author has tried to catch a few 'echoes' resonating with age-old wisdom and has presented them to the readers. the book unravels the knowledge hidden inside the Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads of the Shruti that form the Vedas, and in the Smriti like Agamas, Dharma Shastras and so on. In short, it provides a glimpse, or rather a macro view of the ancient treasure of India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains on every page the wisdom of all nations, insights into the secrets of life, and a key to your success and happiness. Here is an exhaustive collection of quotable wisdoms from Lao Tse (570BC), Lord Buddha, and Socrates to the present (2015). It contains nearly 1,900 gems of art, wisdomm and humor from great thinkers, philosophers, poets, and worlds sharpest statesmen and sages. Proverbs signify the ocean of wisdoms of the universe. These are ineffaceable guides for the humanity. A collection of proverbs is, therefore, a good asset in the universal knowledge made available to the common men. A special feature of this book is that its contents know no barriers; they transcend language, country, culture, and civilization. In fact, it represents the quintessence of the wisdom of ages from far and near. While it is useful to anyone interested in enriching the fund of knowledge and enlarging the frontiers of his understanding, it should prove an invaluable companion to young scholars, and therefore, I would specially recommend it to them. All quotations and wise sayings have serially been numbered under suitable chapters for easy understanding. And some of these have been highlighted to draw the attention of readers towards these, which may be more relevant, useful, and applicable to solve our day-to-day problems. The book acts like a medicine that relieves tension and brings peace of mind. It is an ideal gift of love for someone you love dearly.

Download or read book Among Tibetan Texts written by E. Gene Smith and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-06-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For three decades, E. Gene Smith ran the Library of Congress's Tibetan Text Publication Project of the United States Public Law 480 (PL480) - an effort to salvage and reprint the Tibetan literature that had been collected by the exile community or by members of the Bhotia communities of Sikkim, Bhutan, India, and Nepal. Smith wrote prefaces to these reprinted books to help clarify and contextualize the particular Tibetan texts: the prefaces served as rough orientations to a poorly understood body of foreign literature. Originally produced in print quantities of twenty, these prefaces quickly became legendary, and soon photocopied collections were handed from scholar to scholar, achieving an almost cult status. These essays are collected here for the first time. The impact of Smith's research on the academic study of Tibetan literature has been tremendous, both for his remarkable ability to synthesize diverse materials into coherent accounts of Tibetan literature, history, and religious thought, and for the exemplary critical scholarship he brought to this field.
