Download or read book I Yantra written by Signe Cohen and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be human? I, Yantra examines ancient Indian narratives about robots and mechanically constructed beings to explore how their Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist authors approached this question. Making translations of many of these texts available in English for the first time, author Signe Cohen argues that they shed considerable light on South Asian religious notions of humanity, self, and agency. She also documents connections between ancient and modern responses to the ethical problems of what precisely constitutes a sentient being and what rights such a being should have. Situated at the intersection of humanities and bioethics, this cross-disciplinary study will be of interest to scholars of South Asian languages and literature as well as specialists in religion and technology.

Download or read book Tantra Mantra and Yantra of Sri Vidya written by Vinita Rashinkar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sri Vidya begins where the current understanding of quantum physics ends,” say modern-day scholars about this little-known, highly esoteric spiritual tradition that has been carefully kept under wraps by its secretive and serious practitioners. The study of Sri Vidya is fascinating as much as it is frustrating because information about its various aspects is exceptionally hard to find. Tantra, Mantra and Yantra of Sri Vidya is an endeavor to explore the Sri Vidya tradition and understand it as the unfolding of Shakti, the inherent power which lies at the core of our being and holds the key to our worldly and spiritual success. Sri Vidya practice comprises tantra (a technique or framework for worship) whose two main elements are mantra (sacred sound) and yantra (sacred geometry). Tantra can be described in simple terms as the utilization of the mental faculty to pursue the objectives of worship using mantra and yantra. Mantra is the use of sound energy to bring about oneness with the Divine while yantra is a geometric drawing that serves as a tool to reach the Divine. The book delves into concepts such as Sankhya, Yoga, Karma and Kundalini in order to establish the context of how Sri Vidya is to be approached, combining elements of knowledge, devotion and ritual. The author has kept in mind the sensibilities of the modern spiritual seeker and their needs and interests, presenting the information in a non-dogmatic and practical manner, thereby allowing everyone an opportunity to learn and experience the benefits of Sri Vidya. This is the third book by the author in the Spirituality Series. The first book was about the Sri Chakra Yantra and the second book had Chakras as its subject.

Download or read book Yantra written by Madhu Khanna and published by Inner Traditions. This book was released on 2003-10-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive study of the Indian power symbol that allows the individual to take a journey to the primordial center of life • Highly illustrated exploration of every aspect of the yantra, including its related rituals, sounds, and meditation practices • Investigates the continued use of the yantra in modern India as a magic talisman The yantra is both a complex metaphysical symbol and a tool of ritual and meditation. In kundalini yoga, the patterns contained in this metaphysical and geometrical construct correspond to the psychic centers of the subtle body, therefore making the body itself a functioning yantra. In this book, which is the first comprehensive study of the subject, the author provides a step-by-step explanation of the dynamic process wherein the yantra aids the individual in the spiritual journey to return to original wholeness. Every aspect of this important Indian symbol is explored, from its related sounds, rituals, and use in meditation to its application in traditional temple architecture and sculpture. The author also looks at its continued use in both the “black” and “white” magic traditions of the subcontinent, as well as its power as a talisman.
Download or read book Sri Yantra Mandalas written by and published by Pomegranate Communications. This book was released on 2016-06 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of the sri yantra, with its capacity to balance, heighten, and attune your energy and awareness. The sri yantra comes from ancient India and is a diagrammatic meditational tool used to bring together the often-scattered forces of one's life. At its essence it integrates the feminine (as represented by downward-pointing triangles) with the masculine (as represented by upward-pointing triangles). As you begin to color or simply look at the mandalas found within this book, you are therefore weaving together your inner feminine and inner masculine. ~Paul Heussenstamm
Download or read book Yantra Yoga written by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yantra Yoga, the Buddhist parallel to the Hathayoga of the Hindu tradition, is a system of practice entailing bodily movements, breathing exercises, and visualizations. Originally transmitted by the mahasiddhas of India and Oddiyana, its practice is nowadays found in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism in relation to the Anuttaratantras, more generally known under the Tibetan term trulkhor, whose Sanskrit equivalent is yantra. The Union of the Sun and Moon Yantra (Phrul 'khor nyi zla kha sbyor), orally transmitted in Tibet in the eighth century by the great master Padmasambhava to the Tibetan translator and Dzogchen master Vairochana, can be considered the most ancient of all the systems of Yantra, and its peculiarity is that it contains also numerous positions which are also found in the classic Yoga tradition. Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, one of the great living masters of Dzogchen and Tantra, started transmitting this profound Yoga in the seventies and at that time wrote this commentary, which is based on the oral explanations of some Tibetan yogins and siddhas of the twentieth century. All Western practitioners will benefit from the extraordinary instructions contained in this volume.
