Book excerpt: 'Adi Shankara- the Jagadguru' gives a brief account of the life, works and philosophy of Adi Shankara, a remarkable genius and a spiritual giant who lived more than 2000 years ago and whose impact the world feels even today in resurrecting the lost glory of the real Vedic path and Vedic Dharma of ancient India. The intention of the author in writing this book is to give a taste of the great ancient thinking, and also to give a glimpse of the wonderful exponent of Advaita Vedanta to those who have no knowledge about him who was a great bhakta, a real Karma Yogi and a practical philosopher all rolled in one and about whom our country should really feel proud of. It is an effort to induce the readers to go deep into the subject after reading this book that at best gives only an outline of the Advaita Vedanta, which is the most popular philosophy applicable to the modern rational mind. It is hoped that this book will help in elevating the mind of one and all alike and pave the way for a happy and peaceful family, society, nation and the world with alive and let live attitude.
Download or read book Adi Shankaracharya written by Pavan K. Varma and published by Westland Publication Limited. This book was released on 2018-04-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Brahman? What is its relationship to Atman? What is an individual's place in the cosmos? Is a personalised god and ritualistic worship the only path to attain moksha? Does caste matter when a human is engaging with the metaphysical world? The answers to these perennial questions sparkle with clarity in this seminal account of a man, and a saint, who revived Hinduism and gave to Upanishadic insights a rigorously structured and sublimely appealing philosophy. Jagad Guru Adi Shankaracharya (788-820 CE) was born in Kerala and died in Kedarnath, traversing the length of India in his search for the ultimate truth. In a short life of thirty-two years, Shankaracharya not only revived Hinduism, but also created the organisational structure for its perpetuation through the mathas he established in Sringeri, Dwaraka, Puri, and Joshimatha. Adi Shankaracharaya: Hinduism's Greatest Thinker is a meticulously researched and comprehensive account of his life and philosophy. Highly readable, and including a select anthology of Shankaracharya's seminal writing, the book also examines the startling endorsement that contemporary science is giving to his ideas today. A must-read for people across the ideological spectrum, this book reminds readers about the remarkable philosophical underpinning of Hinduism, making it one of the most vibrant religions in the world.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Thought leader, visionary, philanthropist, mystic, and yogi Sadhguru presents Western readers with a time-tested path to achieving absolute well-being: the classical science of yoga. “A loving invitation to live our best lives and a profound reassurance of why and how we can.”—Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element, Finding Your Element, and Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SPIRITUALITY & HEALTH The practice of hatha yoga, as we commonly know it, is but one of eight branches of the body of knowledge that is yoga. In fact, yoga is a sophisticated system of self-empowerment that is capable of harnessing and activating inner energies in such a way that your body and mind function at their optimal capacity. It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy. A yogi lives life in this expansive state, and in this transformative book Sadhguru tells the story of his own awakening, from a boy with an unusual affinity for the natural world to a young daredevil who crossed the Indian continent on his motorcycle. He relates the moment of his enlightenment on a mountaintop in southern India, where time stood still and he emerged radically changed. Today, as the founder of Isha, an organization devoted to humanitarian causes, he lights the path for millions. The term guru, he notes, means “dispeller of darkness, someone who opens the door for you. . . . As a guru, I have no doctrine to teach, no philosophy to impart, no belief to propagate. And that is because the only solution for all the ills that plague humanity is self-transformation. Self-transformation means that nothing of the old remains. It is a dimensional shift in the way you perceive and experience life.” The wisdom distilled in this accessible, profound, and engaging book offers readers time-tested tools that are fresh, alive, and radiantly new. Inner Engineering presents a revolutionary way of thinking about our agency and our humanity and the opportunity to achieve nothing less than a life of joy.

Book excerpt: About the book हमारे राष्ट्र निर्माताओं में जगद्गुरु श्री शंकराचार्य का स्थान बहुत ऊँचा है। कई विद्वानों ने तो उन्हें आधुनिक हिंदू धर्म का जनक ही कहा है। शंकराचार्य ने समस्त हिंदू-राष्ट्र को एक सूत्र में पिरोने एवं उसे संगठित करने का प्रयास किया। देश के चारों कोनों पर चार धामों के प्रति श्रद्धा केंद्रित करते हुए उन्होंने संपूर्ण भारतवर्ष की, मातृ-भू की मूर्ति जन-जन के हृदय पर अंकित कर दी। पंचायतन का पूजन प्रारंभ कर विभिन्न संप्रदायों को एक-दूसरे के आराध्य देवों के प्रति केवल सहिष्णुता का भाव ही नहीं तो सभी देवताओं के प्रति अपने इष्टदेव के माध्यम से वही श्रद्धा एवं आदर का भाव व्यक्त करने को प्रेरित किया, इसके अनुसार प्रत्येक पाँचों देवताओं—विष्णु, शुक्र, शक्ति, गणपति और सूर्य की पूजा करता है। अपनी श्रद्धा के अनुसार अपने इष्टदेव को बीच में तथा चारों ओर अन्य चार देवताओं को रखकर पूजन करने की उसे छूट है। चार धामों के समान ही उन्होंने समाज को धर्म मार्ग पर नियंत्रित एवं अनुशासित रखने के लिए चार शंकराचार्यों की अध्यक्षता में भारत के चारों कोनों में चार मठ स्थापित किए। —दीनदयाल उपाध्याय.
Download or read book Vivekacudamani the Crest Jewel of Discernment written by Sankara and published by Aurea Vidya. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Advaita Vedanta? What means or instruments does it utilize in its attempt to comprehend Reality? What is the nature of its aim? If we begin by answering these questions, we will be ready to follow with the right intelligence the message given by the great SANKARA in Vivekacudamani. The path which is outlined here is not for the majority, quite the contrary. It is for those who, having attained "maturity," tend towards full Awakening. It is for those who want to bring about a profound revolution within themselves; and this requires an act of courage, of steadfastness and, at the same time, of great humility. Advaita Vedanta is for those who, tired of a long pilgrimage, have finally stopped and in the silence of their own hearts have decided to launch a powerful attack on that terrible and treacherous enemy who lives not outside of us but right within us, and thus realize full liberation from all psycho-physical conflict and bondage. As darkness and its effects vanish when the sun rises, so, when realization of non-dual beatitude dawns, do bondage and suffering vanish without a trace (Vivekacudamani, sutra 319) SANKARA has been one of the greatest philosophers of India. He dedicated his brief and intense life (788-820) to re-establish the authority of the ruti, to codify the Advaita Vedanta, the doctrine of Non-duality, and to anchor the Metaphysical Tradition of the Veda through the foundation of monasteries (ma]ha) and monastic orders. With his bhasya (commentary) to the Upanisad, the Brahmasutra, and the Bhagavadgita, and with his own writings, Sankara has profoundly influenced not only India's philosophical development, but that of the entire world. RAPHAEL is author and Master in the Western Metaphysical Tradition as well as the Vedanta. For over 35 years, he has written a series of books on the pathway of Non-duality (Advaita). He has translated directly from the original Sanskrit and Edited a number of key Vedanta texts. His entire work is a conscious reunification of both Western and Eastern Traditions into Unity of Tradition.

Book excerpt: The Seven Steps to Awakening is the most powerful collection of quotes ever assembled on the subject of how to directly experience the true Self whose nature is Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss and how to bring the impostor self, its tricks and all suffering to a final end in this lifetime. Most books on the subject of Self-realization are written by those who have only conceptual knowledge and no direct experience of the infinite Self. All seven of the sages quoted in The Seven Steps to Awakening lived in the infinite and their knowledge came from their direct experience of the infinite Self. The quotes in The Seven Steps to Awakening are doorways to liberation and a loving transmission from the Infinite Self to you. When the impostor self attempts to derail you from your journey to Awakening, reading the quotes in The Seven Steps to Awakening can inspire and encourage you to get back on track. Only the most essential and most powerful quotes that have no distractions or detours were selected for The Seven Steps to Awakening. The first collection of quotes describes how to tell the difference between a conceptual journey and a journey to Awakening. The second points out that the world, etc. is a dreamlike illusion. The third reveals why it is necessary to bring the impostor self to its final end. The fourth is about the importance of increasing your desire for liberation. The fifth is for the purpose of encouraging, inspiring and motivating you to actually practice all seven steps. The sixth is about turning your attention inward. The seventh describes the most rapid, direct and effective method that brings the impostor self, its tricks and all suffering to their final end so that you can remain forever in the true Self whose nature is Infinite-Awareness-Love-Bliss.
