Download or read book Theatre and Religion on Krishna s Stage written by D. Mason and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-05-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatre and Religion on Krishna s Stage examines the history and form of India's râs lila folk theatre, and discusses how this theatre functions as a mechanism of worship and spirituality among Krishna devotees in India. From analyses of performances and conversations with performers, audience, and local scholars, Mason argues that râs lila actors and audience alike actively assume roles that locate them together in the spiritual reality that the play represents. Correlating Krishna devotion and theories of religious experience, this book suggests that the emotional experience of theatrical fiction may arise from the propensity of audiences to play out roles of their own through which they share a performance's reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DISCOVER ARJUNA.UNRAVEL THE REAL HERO IN YOU. Since time immemorial, Arjuna has come to embody strength, courage and valour. Legend has it that the great warrior from the epic tale Mahabharata, had excellent visual skills as demonstrated through the fabled Bird’s Eye shot. The stories of his sharp-sightedness and heroism have spread far and wide. Each one of us have Arjuna’s unwavering gaze to focus on our target and endeavour for the best. However, in our own lives, we are often unable to achieve our aims; we fail the allegorical Bird’s Eye test. Discover the Arjuna in You, based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, takes us through various phases of Arjuna’s life. It engages in the deeply philosophical conversations between Krishna and Arjuna on life lessons, and inspires us to seek answers to our own predicaments. Once we break free from the clutches of our fears and inhibitions, we can empower ourselves through focus and determination and imbibe the values of the valiant Arjuna. Embark on a journey of motivation and become an unbeatable archer like Arjuna, because we too can set our targets, conquer every challenge along the way and emerge a winner.

This priestly family has arguably been the most creative force in this important town. Their influence also radiates well beyond India's borders both because of their tireless work in fostering scholarship and performance about Krishna and because the scion of the family, Shrivatsa Goswami, has become an international spokesman for Hindu ways and concerns.

Download or read book The Bhagavad Gita written by Ravi Ravindra and published by Jaico Publishing House. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guide to Navigating the Battle of Life “O Dhananjaya, do your work established in yoga and abandon attachment. Be impartial to success or failure, for yoga is equanimity.” —The Bhagavad Gita Myths offer truths that speak about the human condition and have withstood the test of time. The Mahabharata is one such magnificent saga and the Bhagavad Gita is the nectar of its distilled wisdom. The great Indian gurus and philosophers have looked at the battle of Kurukshetra as a euphemism for the struggle within – between a person’s asuric (demonic) and daivic (divine) inclinations. Eons later, the Gita is still relevant and popular. Is it because we are still fascinated about an ancient war and a philosophical discourse that happened in the middle of a battlefield a long time ago, or because we are concerned about understanding the constant tussle between good and bad in our lives and in our own consciousness? Ravi Ravindra’s fresh prose translation of the great epic stands out from the many other versions with its assertion that the Gita is, at its heart, an indispensable universal guide to help you cross the battlefield of life. Ravi Ravindra, PhD, is Professor Emeritus at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he served for many years as a professor in comparative religion, philosophy and physics. He is the author of numerous books including Science and the Sacred, The Wisdom of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and The Pilgrim Soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our modern world technological world, many western people are finding new meaning in ancient eastern traditions. But many people are not aware of the shear philosophical immensity and unfathomable antiquity of these traditions, the roots of which challenge our current view of the world and its history. Coming from a bygone age and evolving over thousands of years, the 'dharma' - spiritual teachings on the way things are - has come down to the present in an unbroken lineage of practical philosophy. This is a lineage in spiritual logic which has been producing scientific teachings on the true nature of the world, our place in it and, ultimately, the solutions to the universal problem of suffering. This book summarises the history of dharma through the Vedic and Buddhist traditions, builds a bridge to the western theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, investigates the core principles of their teachings and highlights the similarities and differences. Enter the mysticological field of merit where Vedanta, Yoga, Madhyamaka and Tantric Thomism meet...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shreemad Bhagavad Gita is one of the most ancient scriptures in the world. Of all the scriptures, it is said that Gita provides the deepest and most practical knowledge about faith, devotion, surrender, detachment, and a release of expectations and ownership over one’s own actions. But like any teaching, time and unqualified minds can distort scriptures like this and misrepresent what is contained within. It is for that purpose that the Lord continuously takes birth on earth in the form of the Guru to revive the true essence of the Gita and to demonstrate the simplicity and power of the divine message of the Lord. One such Master is Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda, and this book is his personal commentary on this timeless knowledge. Included here are over 900 pages of verses, translations, drawings for every chapter, and Paramahamsa Vishwananda's extensive commentary. Perfect for the beginner as well as those who have read other commentaries, this is more than just a book. It is a guiding light that can be applied to every day, to every thought, and to every moment.

Download or read book Cultural Differences in Sensory Marketing The Influence of Culture specific Factors on Consumers Sensory Perception written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2024-06-24 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the cultural differences in sensory marketing and investigates the influence of culture-specific factors on the sensory perception of consumers. Since cultural factors such as traditions, values and norms can have an impact on consumer behavior, cultural differences in sensory perception are particularly important for sensory marketing managers. By reviewing relevant literature, this paper concludes that cultural differences can be found in the perception and interpretation of sensory stimuli. These differences are most frequently observed between Western and Eastern cultures and can vary from sense to sense. In this context, one of the major findings of this paper is which culture-specific factors have an influence on sensory perception. These include geographical differences, cultural experiences with food, scents and sounds, as well as cultural touching habits and color symbolism. Different preferences for music, flavor and differences in writing are also identified as influencing factors. These findings also underline the relevance of cultural differences for marketing managers in the context of sensory marketing. The individual differences indicate that it is more efficient for sensory marketing managers to adapt marketing strategies to local markets. Furthermore, the different consumer preferences open up new opportunities for sensory marketing managers to address them more effectively.
