Download or read book Life Lessons from Gitaji on New Society written by BRIJ MOHAN and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Lessons from Gitaji on New Society deals with social life with special reference to Indian way of living in introspection and the future ahead to find ways to live in peace and harmony as its age old philosophy has pronounced. The detailed history, the origins of age-old philosophy of human classification for functioning of the society has been discussed to understand the fundamentals of Indian society since Vedic period. The purpose is to understand the age-old social values still imbibed in the contemporary Indian society, which has now undergone a sea of change due to changes in social, political and economic conditions. The purpose of writing this book is to understand the undercurrent of present day’s social values so messed up in historical texts and contemporary social, political and economic conditions. The result of such phenomenon are visible through untouchability, casteism and communalism, which have cropped up due to misinterpretation of purity and hygiene (chuachut - untouchability), class system (varnashram) and equality of all religion (sarv dharm sambhaav). Besides these, the Indian society has undergone the world’s biggest migration and massacre during partition of the country on religious lines. The scar of that violence has created an atmosphere of hatred and mistrust amongst Hindus and Muslims, two vital constituents of Indian society, which would require a great amount of time and efforts to heal. We find that Indian society faces challenges that are unfolding in present times and Gitaji’s wisdom is most relevant to guide the society towards a futuristic environment with its holistic approach. We should ponder upon the challenges unfolding before the young generation and how to cope up with those and to build up a new society free from the malice of casteism, communalism and indisciplined democracy with our rich heritage and wisdom of Vedic scriptures in general and specifically the wisdom of Gitaji.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For professionals grappling with the challenges of corporate life, Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita offers a transformative path to overcome self-defeating habits and silence the mind's negative chatter-often the greatest barrier to effective leadership. This book advocates for a leadership style rooted in compassion for followers, stakeholders, and future generations, paving the way for harmonious workplace relationships and environmental stewardship. Moving away from conventional leadership models based on control, it promotes leadership by inspiration. At a time when trust in leadership is waning, this book introduces the concept of linked-leadership-leaders who connect through loving connection or bhakti-yoga with themselves (through self-knowledge), others, nature, and the supreme source. Drawing on the example of Krishna guiding Arjuna's chariot, it redefines leadership as a commitment to service, excellence, and virtuous character, inspiring others to follow suit. Its unique insights help you understand different personality types, motivating individuals according to their nature, and building effective teams for a harmonious and prosperous organizational culture. Ultimately, this book challenges leaders to embrace unity and diversity, achieving sustainable well-being and happiness in their organizations.

Download or read book Life Lessons from Gitaji on the New Economy written by BRIJ MOHAN and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are now doing business in a global village. The sourcing of raw material, its manufacturing, selling and distribution are done, irrespective of geographical boundaries, through seamless transaction over the internet. The new style of business and economy is transcending time and space boundaries, and monetary transactions are now faceless and paperless. Needless to mention, we need to equip ourselves with updated technologies and infrastructure to cope with the new environment of doing business under a new ecosystem. Besides this qualitative change in the way of doing business, at present, another challenge is the turmoil caused by the sudden onslaught of the pandemic and the world over, the impact of COVID19 on people’s daily life continues to be terrible. We now have better medical facilities and medicines but poorer health, higher IQ and intellectual brain but poorer common sense and spiritual experience, potent weaponry to eliminate enemy in a war but poor bravery to sustain peace and statesmanship. We have twisted and wound up ourselves too much and are now unable to look at our simple life scenario with straight and simple eyes. Therefore the time has come for us to learn how we should unwind and relax ourselves to enjoy our fruits of labour that we have earned. This Book titled ‘Life Lessons from Gitaji on New Economy’ would be dealing with these issues in the light of Wisdom as explained in Gita by Bhagwan Krishna on human behaviour (Karma) in tandem (Yoga) with the Laws of the Nature. The language and approach may look somewhere out of context but that has been done purposefully to provoke its reader to think out of Box.

Download or read book The Bhagavad Gita written by Yogananda (Paramahansa) and published by Crystal Clarity. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the best-loved scriptures in the world, the Bhagavad Gita has been translated by many scholars and poets over thousands of years. This new version, rendered in modern english prose by Swami Kriyananda, is based on the interpretations of his Guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi." "The Gita is the heroic story of the battlefield counsel given by Krishna to Arjuna just prior to the start of a great war. Responding to Arjuna's moral dilemma over fighting against his beloved friends, family, and teachers, Krishna advises Arjuna on his duties as a warrior. Yogananda's insights reveal that The Gita is in fact a spiritual allegory, and that each character in the story symbolizes psychological traits and aspects of our own consciousness. As Arjuna looks upon the warriors on the battlefield, he is really facing his own inner battle between the forces of delusion and the forces of Spirit within. Krishna's advice to Arjuna on how to win the battle - using yogic tools of devotion, selfless service, and spiritual discrimination - gives each of us the guidance we need to move forward in dharma (right-action) in every material or spiritual test that life may bring."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Bhagavad Gita Simplified written by Saktheedharan Villwamangalam and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bhagavad Gita Simplified is a collection of poems and translations of the pearls of wisdom delivered by Lord Krishna to rejuvenate Arjuna from inaction on the battle field, as depicted in the Mahabharatha written by Saint Vyasa. It is the essence of the ancient epic and vedas condensed into eighteen chapters, with each chapter elaborating on a yoga - a skill. The following chapters are a series of interpretations of the vedic poems for self-upliftment. Sankhya yoga explains the two paths; karma and knowledge. To achieve ultimate knowledge, one should follow both. In karma yoga, the need to perform karma is explained, because karma is the only means to achieve anything. In jnana – karma sanyasa yoga, the need for relinquishment is stressed. The yoga of meditation is very important, as it is said that without meditation, peace and enlightenment is impossible. Thus each chapter teaches a different skill, ultimately leading the reader to God Realization.
Download or read book Paths to God written by Ram Dass and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, readers have turned to the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration and guidance as they chart their own spiritual paths. As profound and powerful as this classic text has been for generations of seekers, integrating its lessons into the ordinary patterns of our lives can ultimately seem beyond our reach. Now, in a fascinating series of reflections, anecdotes, stories, and exercises, Ram Dass gives us a unique and accessible road map for experiencing divinity in everyday life. In the engaging, conversational style that has made his teachings so popular for decades, Ram Dass traces our journey of consciousness as it is reflected in one of Hinduism’s most sacred texts. The Gita teaches a system of yogas, or “paths for coming to union with God.” In Paths to God, Ram Dass brings the heart of that system to light for a Western audience and translates the Gita’s principles into the manual for living the yoga of contemporary life. While being a guide to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Paths to God is also a template for expanding our definition of ourselves and allowing us to appreciate a new level of meaning in our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a divine reason the word "Avatar" emerged at the forefront of popular culture? Discover the original Avatars and learn how their ancient wisdom can change the way you view the world. Spiritual Teachings of the Avatar speaks to anyone concerned with the sustainability of Mother Earth, the role of elders in our society, the seemingly unconsciousness of science and corporations, and the subtleties of unseen realities, resulting in spiritual growth, a deeper relationship with nature, and a better world for all. An avatar is a manifestation of the Supreme Being—usually in human form—that descends from the transcendental realm to Earth to heal the planet and restore peace and harmony by eliminating the harmful souls that prey on Mother Earth. In Spiritual Teachings of the Avatar, Vedic expert and teacher Jeffrey Armstrong explains the ancient Indian wisdoms embodied in the word “avatar,” and that behind the notion of avatar is a view that sees the sacredness of all life and the soul of all beings as eternal—meant for freedom and made of divine essence.
