Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "O Sita, those munis, who have taken to strict vows, living aggrieved in Dandaka-aranya have personally approached Me, who am a protector of the surrendered, and sought refuge." (Lord Rama speaking to Sita Devi, Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya-kanda, 10.4) The sages residing in the Dandaka forest were being harassed daily by the ogres ranging the night, those demons intent on thwarting the peaceful religious activities of the rishis given to asceticism and penance. Understanding that their only chance at safety and peace lay in the hands of the divine prince of Ayodhya, Shri Rama, the sages kindly petitioned that most humble, gentle, chivalrous, and capable of warriors to help save them from the attacks of the vile Rakshasas, the ogres given to black magic and illusion. Rama, wholly willing to provide for the protection of those dependent upon the administrative class of men, was ready to come to the aid of the ascetics, but before He could proceed any further, His beautiful, kind, and caring wife, Sita Devi, had a few concerns of her own. Knowing full well the nature of the attacking ogres and the innocence and exalted status of the sages in the Dandaka forest, Sita was still concerned that her husband, who had taken a vow to always abide by dharma, might take to unnecessary violence borne of anger and rage directed at the enemy. Not wanting her dear husband to even show a hint of unrighteousness, Sita kindly put her concerns before Rama. Rama’s response to Sita’s kind inquiry is found in the famous Ramayana, an epic poem and classic text of the Vedic tradition. Rama, who is celebrated as a divine figure throughout the world, responded to Sita by firmly establishing His dedication to the welfare and protection of the saintly class of men. Lord Rama: The Shelter for the Saints consists of fifteen essays covering the different verses from the Ramayana that constituted Rama’s response to Sita. These descriptions cover a wide range of subjects, including spirituality, the divisions of work and spiritual institutions prescribed for man, the essence of human life, the temporary nature of life and death, the eternal wisdom of the Vedic teachings found in sacred texts like the Shrimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita, and much more.

Download or read book The Major Gods of Hinduism written by Ahsi Ayir and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hinduism is a very liberal religion. It is eternal and, despite having many deities in it, it is a supporter of monotheism. Hindus believe that God is one; only names are many. Hurting someone is the greatest sin, and charity is the greatest virtue. Service to the people is the service of God. Hinduism resides in the mind, rites, and traditions of Hindutva. In Hinduism, gods and goddesses are an integral part of the colorful Hindu culture. The main deities of the Vedic period are Indra, Agni, Soma, Varuna, Prajapati, Savita, and the goddesses Saraswati, Usha, Prithvi, etc. In later Hinduism, new gods and goddesses came in the form of many incarnations, such as Ganesha, Shri Rama, Shri Krishna, Hanuman, Kartikeya, Surya, Chandra, etc., and goddesses called mothers, such as Durga, Parvati, Lakshmi, Sheetla, Sita, Radha, Santoshi, Mahakali, etc. All these deities are mentioned in the Puranas and their total number is said to be 33 types. They are: 8 Vasu, 11 Rudra, 12 Aaditya, 1 Indra and 1 Prajaapati. According to the Puranas, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are the supreme powers and members of the Trinity. They are the rulers of nature. Without their permission, not even a leaf moves here. One more special thing—all the deities' works are divided. No one interferes in any particular area. Everyone has also been given their respective powers for the performance of the work. Apart from all this, the cow is also worshipped as a mother in Hinduism. It is believed that the entire 33 categories of deities reside in the cow. Many trees, rivers, animals, birds, mountains, etc. are worshipped here as God. Hindu gods and goddesses have also taken many incarnations to protect religion and humanity. Among them, 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu are considered prominent: Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Vamana, Narasimha, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki. The Kalki incarnation is the twenty-fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, which is set to take place at the end of the current Kali-yuga. His various forms are worshipped with full devotion and belief in the country and abroad. It is also said in religious texts that the deities may have different names, but all bless their devotees equally. The stories of the origins of various Hindu gods are given in the present book. There may be similarities in some of the stories. I have compiled these from the Vedas, Puranas, and Upanishads. I hope the readers will find it interesting and informative.

Book excerpt: : In the middle of eighty, a few of our friends organized a tour to London. A travel company arranged the tour, securing accommodation in a hotel in London. During my stay in London, I expressed my willingness to the tour operator to visit my friend Amit Kumar Singh. As co-villager, we were enjoying our friendship from childhood. He jumped various stages of the regular system of education on his merit. We continued our relationship by the exchange of letters, though not regularly, but intermittently. These days, the myths concerned with eating cow flesh in the west have no relevance. Intercontinental food availabilities have varieties of options. Still, the Hindus of India had a reservation to treat the cow as a mother. I reached his residence early morning. He and his wife welcomed me heartily. He informed me that he had three sons, the first were twins and the third was three years after the birth of the twin. His sons were patronized by his mother-in-law to inherit her vast business empire., When I expressed my desire to take departure, he gave me two diaries and requested me to write about him. Months took to correlate incidents of his life to ink on paper. No doubt, his correspondence became a valued tool to connect several links. I can assure you his biopic is worth reading
