Download or read book Conceiving the Goddess written by Jayant Bhalchandra Bapat and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceiving the Goddess is an exploration of goddess cults in South Asia that embodies research on South Asian goddesses in various disciplines. The theme running through all the contributions, with their multiple approaches and points of view, is the concept of appropriation, whereby one religious group adopts a religious belief or practice not formerly its own. What is the motivation behind this? Are such actions attempts to dominate, or to resist the domination of others, or to adapt to changing social circumstances - or perhaps simply to enrich the religious experience of a group's members? In examining these questions, Conceiving the Goddess considers a range of settings: a Jain goddess lurking in a Brahminical temple, the fraught relationship between the humble Camār caste and the river goddess Gaṅgā, the mutual appropriation of disciple and goddess in the tantric exercises of Kashmiri Śaivism, and the alarming self-decapitation of the fierce goddess Chinnamastā

Download or read book Memories Of My Life And Times written by Bipin Chandra Pal and published by UBS Publishers' Distributors. This book was released on 2004 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Memoirs Can Be Seen As A Reflection Of The Contemporary Social History Beginning With The Period Immediately After The First War Of Independence Of 1857. They Reflect The Impressions Of A Young, Perceptive Mind During A Transitional Period Of Modern Indian Evolution From The Societal Concerns Of The Early Nationalists To The Political Ones As Articulated And Consolidated By The Efforts Of Surendranath Banerjee, Ananda Mohan Bose And Their Associates. The Tone Reflects A Sense Of Moderation Very Similar To The Early Liberal Outlook Of The 19Th Century India. This, However, Received A Severe Jolt With The Proposal To Partition Bengal In 1903 And The Author Reincarnated As An Extremist. The Memoirs Unfortunately End Before The Manifestation Of This Shift But Definitely Remind Us As To How Major Upheavals Transforms And Fundamentally Change Political Theorizing And Perceptions.

Download or read book Hunting the I written by Lucy Cornelssen and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the core of Bhagavan's teaching in a highly readable manner. With regard to why any investigation into the meaning of life might be desirable, it begins, " 'Are you happy?' When you reply with the counter question, 'What is happiness?' that means you have already observed how brittle, how transient and short-lived your so-called happiness is." Thus starts the investigation into the true nature of your Being, which is itself Happiness. There is an excellent explanation here of using the gap between sleeping and waking as an opportunity to have "one foot" in Pure Consciousness and one in wakefulness; to access the thoughtlessness of deep dreamless sleep from the recognition available in the waking state.

However, confusion and lack of proper information are still serious obstacles on the path of proper understanding and realisation. India, or as it was called in ancient times, Bharata Varsha, has an immense potential that can be materialised simply by returning to the correctoriginal perspective of the golden Vedic civilisation that is the natural heritage of all Indians and in fact of all human beings.The Rig Veda samhita (9.63.5) points us in the correct direction: Krinvanto visvam aryam, "Let everyone become arya"

Download or read book Autobiographical Notes and Other Writings of Historical Interest written by Aurobindo Ghose and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of notes, letters, telegrams, and public statements written by Sri Aurobindo at various times. It includes approximately three hundred pages of material not included in the SABCL edition: well over a hundred pages are published here for the first time and the rest were previously published only in journals or as parts of different books. Of the material already published in the SABCL edition and included in this new book, half is from the now-discontinued volume Sri Aurobindo On Himself and the other half from Letters on Yoga and the Supplement volume, which was never brought out as an independent book. Most of the rest of the letters from On Himself, written by Sri Aurobindo after 1927 and touching on the subject of himself and his sadhana, will be included in a new volume entitled Letters on Himself and the Ashram. This documentary volume is divided into four parts: autobiographical notes, which consist primarily of things he wrote to correct statements made by others about him; letters of historical interest, mostly written before 1927 to family members, political and professional associates, people interested in his yogic practice, and public figures; public statements on Indian and world events; and public notices concerning his ashram and yoga. It contains a detailed table of contents and nearly sixty pages of editorial notes, containing information on the people and historical events referred to in the texts.
