Download or read book Power Politics and Change written by Osho and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power, Politics, and Change takes on the conventional wisdom that "power corrupts" and proposes instead that those who seek power are already corrupt: Once they attain their goal, their corruption simply has the opportunity to express itself. That's why even those who seek power in order to bring about radical change so often fail, despite their best intentions. Osho looks at where this "will to power" comes from, how it expresses itself not only in political institutions, but in our everyday relationships. In the process, he offers a vision of relationships and society based not on power over others, but on a recognition of the uniqueness of every individual.Power, Politics, and Change includes an original talk by Osho on DVD. This visual component enables the reader to experience the direct wisdom and humor of Osho straight from the source.The Osho Life Essentials series focuses on the most important questions in the life of the individual. Each volume contains timeless and always-contemporary investigations and discussions into questions vital to our personal search for meaning and purpose, focusing on questions specific to our inner life and quality of existence.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edition: here|now|4u, 2017 Publisher: GEERDES media e.K. The story of Acharya Tulsi's life is a new manifestation of Indian awareness (consciousness). His unusually long period of monkhood, unprecedented number of years of Acharyaship, unparalleled barefoot marches, wide contact with masses, heroic courage, remarkable spiritual development, prodigious amount of creative writings and his gift of hundreds of dedicated workers - all sound singularly great and incredible. The story of Acharyashree's life is the resplendent saga of miraculous achievements which infuses the reader with a new breath, a new inspiration and a new power of light.In the history of human perseverance, we come across a rare example of a man who, like Acharya Tulsi, renounced his physical comforts and dedicated his life to the noble cause of the wellbeing of the people. Acharyashree has given us a new interpretation of religion. We live in an age of science. Our expectation of a religion is that it should rid man of his mental tension, help him to experience the spiritual joy which he is unable to derive from affluence and arouse in him a moral awakening. Acharyashree realized it and filled the gap by putting forward before the world a constructive programme of human regeneration in the form of the ANUVRAT MOVEMENT and PREKSHA MEDITATION. It is a religious revolution which has in it the power to preserve its existence even in this age of economic and political upheavals. Let us know the story of Acharyashree's life on the eve of the fiftieth year of his Acharyaship. A study of his life will provide a man with an insight into the problems of his life and help him to unravel them. The usefulness of a life lies alone in its ability to irradiate every particle of the earth with its glow. ASIND (Rajasthan) April 3, 1985 Yuvacharya Mahapragya

Download or read book Dharma written by Veena R. Howard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dharma is central to all the major religious traditions which originated on the Indian subcontinent. Such is its importance that these traditions cannot adequately be understood apart from it. Often translated as “ethics,” “religion,” “law,” or “social order,” dharma possesses elements of each of these but is not confined to any single category familiar to Western thought. Neither is it the straightforward equivalent of what many in the West might usually consider to be “a philosophy”. This much-needed analysis of the history and heritage of dharma shows that it is instead a multi-faceted religious force, or paradigm, that has defined and that continues to shape the different cultures and civilizations of South Asia in a whole multitude of forms, organizing many aspects of life. Experts in the fields of Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh studies here bring fresh insights to dharma in terms both of its distinctiveness and its commonality as these are expressed across, and between, the several religions of the subcontinent. Exploring ethics, practice, history and social and gender issues, the contributors engage critically with some prevalent and often problematic interpretations of dharma, and point to new ways of appreciating these traditions in a manner that is appropriate to and thoroughly consistent with their varied internal debates, practices and self-representations.
