Download or read book The Gita Way written by Shweta Chandra and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gita Way'' is an irreligious take on the tenets of the Bhagavad Gita. Without delving into either mythological or God-centric discourse, the book attempts to understand and explain various insights from the Gita through, in the author''s words, derived theory and application. ''The Gita Way'' attempts to shed light on matters of self-realisation, and identifying and following the path to achieve the purpose of life. Within the framework of Vedic philosophy represented by Gita, this book explores: - How to discover the swa-bhava, the inherent natural strength of our real-self? - Is my profession aligned with my swa-bhava? What is my purpose of life? - What is the real meaning of moksha, the liberation? How the realization of individual purpose leads us to attain supreme purpose we are born to achieve. - How yoga of knowledge, karma and devotion is applied to realise self, stay on the path of the goal and attain the real purpose? Unlike other books on Bhagavad Gita, ''The Gita Way'' is not a chapter wise discourse. Instead it presents deduced concepts in first place supported with relevant reference from the whole Gita. For example, in the first chapter of this book, you may get a reference of last chapter of Gita relevant to the topic of discussion. Few thought provoking quotes from the book: ""Whether we are believers or non-believers, one thing is evident: that we exist. There is no disparity in the intensity of our existence, no matter who we are. I exist, and the significance of my existence is second to none."" ""Lack of knowledge is ignorance which creates fear."" ""All of us have one thing common in our respective goals: to reach the peak in whatever profession we choose. The difference is in the clarity of the goal, whether it is known or yet to be known, whether it is in dreams or in action."" ""Even a failure can point you in the right direction to re-approach your goal, but this is possible only if you accept failure with a stable mind."" ""The consciousness of self, with self-respect, drives a larger purpose. The consciousness of self, with an inflated ego, creates an illusion in the purpose of life."" ""Wealth is the reward of having achieved a goal; it is not the goal in itself. Even if we follow the path that is travelled by the person who has acquired wealth, we end up following his goals rather than our own."" ""The state of indecisiveness comes when our knowledge and intellect fail to differentiate between two choices."" ""There is no limit to knowledge. If we have a real quest, the whole universe is too small to explore in a lifetime. The yoga of knowledge is making knowledge work for us."" ""Each one of us has something unique in us. All we need is to identify that."" ""The path to realising the purpose of life becomes visible only after knowing the nuances of natural strengths, which give unconditional enthusiasm. We like working on them with incessant power. They unlock concealed energy inside us and give a positive push to travel an extra mile."" ""The foundation of devotion is the conviction in a purpose. Without conviction, the mind keeps evaluating options, keeping devotion at a distance. Devotion is the state of single-mindedness and is at its best form when applied to a single goal."" ""Devotion for knowledge gives focus and devotion for karma gives perseverance. Both, focus and perseverance are states of mind and essential elements for any accomplishment."" ""Joy comes from small things on the path to achieving the big purpose. This could be in the form of an accomplishment, an idea, love, a relationship, or even professional success."" ""Inaction is a symptom of wastage of time, which is akin to wasting life, since we do not know how much time we have.""

Download or read book Indische Kultur im Kontext written by Klaus Mylius and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2005 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indische Kultur im Kontext ist eine Festschrift zum 75. Geburtstag des international bekannten Indologen Klaus Mylius. Der Band enthalt Beitrage von erstrangigen Vertretern der Indologie aus den USA, Japan, der Schweiz, Deutschland, Belgien, Ungarn, Finnland und Indien. Weitere Artikel, die Themen aus anderen Kulturen mit Bezugen zu Indien behandeln, wurden von Freunden und Weggefahrten des Jubilars verfasst. Das Spektrum der Beitrage spiegelt das umfangreiche Schaffen von Klaus Mylius wider. Mehrere Autoren behandeln Rituale und Texte des altindischen Veda, die uber viele Jahrzehnte sein Hauptforschungsgebiet bildeten. Andere Artikel beschaftigen sich mit religions-, literatur- und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Themen der Indologie. Die nichtindologischen Themen, die grosstenteils Bezuge zu Indien haben, behandeln etwa chinesische Legenden, die europaische Aufklarung oder das Bild der Venus in der Kunstgeschichte. Insgesamt demonstriert der Band eine Idee, die Klaus Mylius selbst immer verfolgt hat: Die adaquate Interpretation indischer Texte kann nur bei Beachtung der jeweiligen - indischen und ausserindischen - Kontexte gelingen.

Download or read book A Hell of Mercy written by Tim Farrington and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-02-06 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n this unflinching look at depression and the human struggle to find hope in its midst, acclaimed author Tim Farrington writes with heartrending honesty of his lifelong struggle with the condition he calls "a hell of mercy." With both wry humor and poignancy, he unravels the profound connection between depression and the spiritual path, the infamous dark night of the soul made popular by mystic John of the Cross. While depression can be a heartbreaking time of isolation and lethargy, it can also provide powerful spiritual insights and healing times of surrender. When doctors prescribe medication, patients are often left feeling as if part of their very selves has been numbed in order to become what some might call "normal." Farrington wrestles with profound questions, such as: When is depression a part of your identity, and when does it hold you back from realizing your potential? In the tradition of Darkness Visible and An Unquiet Mind, A Hell of Mercy is both a much needed companion for those walking this difficult terrain as well as a guide for anyone who has watched a loved one grapple with this inner emotional darkness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize: An “extraordinary” novel “lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender” (The New York Times Book Review). In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, an embittered old judge wants only to retire in peace. But his life is upended when his sixteen-year-old orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge’s chatty cook watches over the girl, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one miserable New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens Sai’s new-sprung romance with her tutor, the household descends into chaos. The cook witnesses India’s hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge revisits his past and his role in Sai and Biju’s intertwining lives. In a grasping world of colliding interests and conflicting desires, every moment holds out the possibility for hope or betrayal. Published to extraordinary acclaim, The Inheritance of Loss heralds Kiran Desai as one of our most insightful novelists. She illuminates the pain of exile and the ambiguities of postcolonialism with a tapestry of colorful characters and “uncannily beautiful” prose (O: The Oprah Magazine). “A book about tradition and modernity, the past and the future—and about the surprising ways both amusing and sorrowful, in which they all connect.” —The Independent
