Download or read book Heaven in Ordinary written by David Jasper and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heaven in Ordinary is like a love affair with poetry that engages with religious questions, for good or ill, concerned with five poets who are haunted by God. Poets, in times of great faith and times of doubt, have expressed for us their sense of both the presence and the absence of God in language that is sometimes almost sacramental in its weight of beauty, love, fear, anger or despair. The poets considered here all relate, in some way, to the traditions of Anglicanism through the centuries, reflecting both a common humanity and a wide breadth of human experience as it struggles with God. Heaven in Ordinary is deliberately autobiographical in approach, as it is grounded in David Jasper's own lifetime experience of reading poetry since his school years, and over four decades as a priest. The poets he so beautifully discusses have related both positively and negatively to the Christian faith and the Anglican tradition. Some are deeply religious, others are haunted by God and the divine mystery.

Download or read book The Gospel of Vedanta written by Giridhar Krishna Boray and published by Giridhar Boray. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord Almighty in the form of Sage Vedavyasa composed the epic Bhagavata Maha Purana to expand on the spiritual concepts contained in the Vedas using episodes and anecdotes from the Lord’s various incarnations and the experiences of His devotees. It is a guidebook to society to illustrate human and ethical values. The Bhagavata Maha Purana is structured as a conversation between King Pariksit and sage Shuka and is spread over 12 cantos with 18000 verses. The eleventh canto has 1373 verses spread among 31 chapters. While the tenth canto has the authentic account of the incarnation and activities of Lord Sri Krishna, the eleventh canto has core messages from the Lord to humankind. The Bhagavad Gita [BG], the song celestial, which has the sermon from Lord Krishna to prince Arjuna, which is the most revered text among Hindu scriptures, is part of the great epic Mahabharata. Uddhava Gita, the divine conversation between Uddhava, an aide, and an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna, and Lord Krishna Himself is spread over 23 chapters (chapters 7 to 29), in 1033 verses (about 75% of 11th Canto). This has many parallels with the Gita and reads like a commentary on the Gita. In Gita, the Lord responds to many philosophical questions from Arjuna and many of those critical questions are explained in more detail in Uddhava Gita with examples and anecdotes. Excellent interpretation of the critical aspects of this epic can be found in the works of the 12th century ascetic Sri Madhwacharya. Other savants in his lineage such as Sri Vadiraja Teertha, Sri Raghavendra Teertha, Sri Vijayadhwaja Teertha, Sri Satyabhinava Teertha, Sri Satyadharma Teertha have contributed tremendously to summarize and expand on the key concepts. This book attempts to provide a simple translation in English of the 111h canto along with summary and interpretations based on the lectures by His Holiness Sri Vidyasagara Madhava Teertha.

Book excerpt: “One who sings and chants these supremely confidential teachings to My devotees will attain supreme devotion for Me and will attain Me.

It is the first English translation that includes summaries of the commentaries of four of the most prominent expounders of the tradition of bhakti-yoga: Srimad Bhaktivinoda ?hakura, Srimad Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Gosvami, and Sri Kanailal Pancatirtha—alongside the highly acclaimed translation of the text itself by Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev Gosvami.

Download or read book Delights and Disquiets of Leisure in Premodern India written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-30 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leisure is a corollary to pleasure. Essays in this historical exploration trace how leisure and recreation were often imagined and celebrated during premodern times, from the ancient to the precolonial period. This book takes into account the differential access to leisure and pleasure based on class and gender where masculinity is projected through manly sports and femininity though beauty and indulgence in the projection of recreation, entertainment and luxury. The counter-discourse representing labour for those who cater for this leisure is invisibilized as is their transactional nature. The volume dwells on the attitudes, prescribed and proscribed, and brings to the fore the differences across religious ideologies such as Brahmanism, Buddhism, Jaina and Muslim in various periods. Further it looks at leisure in the various classes and cultural spaces such as the elite, women, the king in the bed chamber, the court with dancing girls, public areas such as orchards and gardens and performance spaces.
