Book excerpt: Exiled by his uncle even if not in name, Yudhishtira is determined to gain allies, something he cannot do when under the eyes of his uncle’s and cousins’ spies in Varanavata. Faking his death may seem a bit extreme, but he’s sure he has no choice if he’s to break this stalemate. Yudhishtira is certain that Suyodhana, his hated cousin, will be blamed for his supposed death, so it’s a win for him, anyway. Vasushena and Suyodhana are pleased with the news of Yudhishtira’s death, but the rumours that Suyodhana is behind it has them seething. When it turns out that Yudhishtira is not dead, and he wins the hand of Draupadi and an alliance with both Panchala and Dwaraka, they know that they have to tread carefully. Suyodhana is even ready to divide the Kingdom to get rid of his cousin. The province of Khandava will do nicely. Because Khandava is a vast jungle inhabited by the Nagas who don’t acknowledge Hastinapura’s suzerainty. But, Yudhishtira has no choice but to accept its kingship if he’s to ever achieve his ambitions. Some may baulk at genocide, but Yudhishtira has never baulked at anything that needed to be done. If that’s what it takes to win Khandava for himself, he’s ready to exterminate the Nagas. The third book of the Jaya! series continues the conflicts, trials and tribulations of the Kurus and their friends, allies and enemies.

Book excerpt: Ravana is the Asura King of Lanka, his might feared in all fourteen worlds. A boon from Brahma has rendered him all but invulnerable, with none knowing how to end him but Ravana himself. When fate puts him in the path of Vedavati whose death he causes, remorse makes him take her remains to Lanka where it makes nature itself to turn against the island. But Ravana cannot let go of the one woman whose actions have made him obsessed, and when he finally releases his remains, he learns that she has been reborn as Sita. He is not ready to let her go, not even when she chooses someone else. Abducting a married woman might be a step too far, but Ravana has always got what he wants, and he wants Sita. After all, Lanka is impregnable, an island fortress guarded by magic and an asura army, and an ocean separates it from the rest of the world. No matter what Sita may want, and no matter that her husband will move heaven and earth to retrieve her, Ravana is not ready to budge. Till he remembers the dreams that had kept him awake all his life, recalls who he is in truth, recognises the true nature of the woman he had abducted, and the enemy he has made in her husband. Ayana is a retelling of the Hindu Epic Ramayana told from multiple POVs, and aligns closely to the original version by Valmiki for most of the story. It may have content triggering to some readers. Please refer to the warnings in the book. The book was chosen as a semi finalist in SPFBO 2019

Download or read book Joyce s Finnegans Wake written by John P. Anderson and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tenth in a series concludes this ground-breaking word-by-word analysis of Finnegans Wake, the literary monument which records James Joyce's desperate search for spiritual connection. In the chapter covered by this volume, the main connecting links are reincarnation of ALP and reincarnation of the novel itself. For his last weave, Tikkun Master Joyce joins strands of Kabbalah and Hinduism to launch a fully realized ALP. She comes to roost but in a new home on the far shore. ALP realizes independence as she throws off fear of the church, of males, and of death. The pivotal event for this purpose is closure provided by the funeral for Father Michael, ALP's sexmailer. The resulting freedom gives her independence as well as what she already had, her instinctive charitable nature. Given the unity of FW, it will come as no surprise that with this final development ALP shares soul with three of Joyce's examples of godliness: Jesus, Buddha and highest art produced by humans. They all share the weave of independence and charity, Joyce's conditions for the sacred. And these conditions turn on light within. This chapter opens with the arrival of morning light within the Earwicker household and is anchored by a culminating debate between a dogmatic Catholic and a meditating Celt about reflected versus absorbed color [think absorbed light as light within]. Joyce chose light for this purpose because in a manner of speaking light is also a mixture of independence and charity. Independent of the observer and time and space, light shows charity at the subatomic level. Light being absorbed shares vibrational energy with and thus energizes sympathetic electrons of the absorbing material, becoming light within. By contrast, light reflected is not absorbed and does not energize. Energy wise it is wasted. Joyce presents ALP as having absorbed divine energy. She lights up from within with independent voltage. Reflecting her new realization, the final subject in ALP's stream of consciousness is herself in the present in the stream of life. With this focus ALP merges into the novel and they both reincarnate back to the beginning. The novel reincarnates by way of the joinder of the incomplete sentence fragment in the last line with the incomplete sentence fragment in the first line of Chapter 1. Together they make a whole. ALP's spirit reincarnates to a new birth mother so as to assist in Tikkun, which so far is incomplete. Her reincarnated soul is to light up from within as it is absorbed by a newly born infant. So as we finish this reading of FW, we uncover a mother lode of connections in Joyce's light: ALP merges into FW; ALP's soul reincarnates into another; the book joins its ending with its beginning in a reincarnation of rereading and new meanings; and a punning connection from Kabbala holds it all together. Connections: connections: connections.

Download or read book The Brhadaranyaka Upanisad written by Nitya Chaitanya Yati and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Upanishads capture the quintessence of Indian spiritual wisdom — unfolding deepest, highly perceptive reflections on human existence and how it is related to the mysterious cosmos. Authored by enlightened seers over the period of 1500-200 BC., the Upanishadic message is a magnificent vision that raises human consciousness to sublime heights. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad is one of the ten major Upanishads. A dialectical narration that unabashedly stands up to the rational scrutiny of the modern mind, it is directed towards both the individual aspirant caught up in the dark morass of confusion and the philosophic thinker in search of rare pearls of wisdom from humanity’s treasury. Guru Nitya’s matchles commentary will enable the reader to discover the ancient seer’s timeles insights, to appreciate a fully-developed, integrated system of thought, and, most importantly, to learn to connect with what is real and enduring in his or her own essence. Schematically, the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad — a brilliant discourse from the Yajur Veda — is set out in three volumes, entitled: Madhu Kanda, Muni Kanda and Khila Kanda. In his planned three-volume thorough-going, meticulously analytical commentary. Guru Nitya distills the wisdom teaching of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, drawing on his intimate understanding of the human psyche, as well as both Eastern and Western philosophy, science, art and literature. Dwelling in turn on each of its 435 mantras, its poetic charm, myths, metaphors, images and symbols, Guru Nitya recreates and expands the Upanishadic vision of our own nature, human interaction, and the cosmos, and their relation to the unmoved essence of all. With highly useful appendices and a comprehensive index, the commentary will hold an enduring appeal for both scholars and discerning readers.
