Download or read book REVIVAL OF ADVAITA YOGA AND PANTHEISM IN AMERICA written by Dr. George Joseph K PhD and published by GOD JESUS PROOF ACADEMY. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are reasonable symptoms of the weakening of the church and Christian faith in the USA, and thereby the silent death American democracy and American Empire. The vacuum created in the American mind by the secular humanism, anti-supernatural liberal theology and godless philosophies have prepared the fertile ground for the silent take-over of USA by Islam, Hinduism, Advaita and yoga. New Age religion legitimizes almost anything in the name of religion. There is an explosion of sorcery. The absolutely unwise philosophies like all is one, man is God etc become widely accepted among the people. New age psychology rejects the supernatural and God of the Bible, but accepts the paranormal miracles of devil. When the people begin to love the lie and hate the truth, the future is bleak. A strong democratic America would guarantee a better world. But what if the whole nation is hypnotized into paranormal and abnormal by secular spiritualities?

Download or read book Hinduism and Environmental Ethics written by Christopher G. Framarin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the standard arguments for and against the claim that certain Hindu texts and traditions attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants are unconvincing. It presents careful, extensive, and original interpretations of passages from the Manusmrti (law), the Mahābhārata (literature), and the Yogasūtra (philosophy), and argues that these texts attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants for at least three reasons: they are sentient, they are alive, and they possess a range of other relevant attributes and abilities. This book is of interest to scholars of Hinduism and the environment, religion and the environment, Hindu and/or Buddhist philosophy more broadly, and environmental ethics.

Download or read book Religion written by Cody L. Parrott and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have been told for years that Christianity is a religion do to it having rituals and religious like aspects, but what people don't realize is that Christianity is a one on one personal relationship with Jehova God. Religion is a twofold word that simply means to re-connect or to bind back to in which works righteousness is involved. Christianity has a savior, His name is Jesus Christ. Religion does not offer a savior and those that would are counterfeits of the true plan of God. Religion offers no hope and comes in many forms but yet is all the same in essence. Christianity is not diverse and should not be considered a religion because there is only one true God who is the God of the born-again, first to the Jew and then to the Greek (Gentiles). This book will delve you into a spiral of truths that not very many will likely want to understand at first and will cause possible anger; but the upside to this is to get you to understand that in order for Christianity to stand alone it cannot retain works before faith. The faith in Christ Jesus has to happen first by just simply believing in what He has done on the cross and believe on His name. Religion offers no hope and no redemption for sins.

Download or read book Hinduism written by Swami Nikhilananda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1959, Hinduism written specifically for the modern readers describes and interprets one of the world’s chief religions. For thousands of years Indian sages have speculated on man, creation, and the universe. One result has been an astonishing amount of myth and ritual, of art, asceticism, and philosophy. Swami Nikhilananda provides a brief account of Hinduism in both its theoretical and its practical aspects. It is written mainly from the point of view of non-dualism which the author argues is the highest achievement of India’s mystical insights and philosophical speculation, and her real contribution to world culture. The volume deals with themes like Hindu Ethics; Karma-Yoga; Bhakti-Yoga; Jnana- Yoga; Raja-Yoga; and Tantra. This complete survey of Hindu beliefs and customs is indispensable for scholars and researchers of Hinduism, religion, Indian philosophy, Indian culture, and heritage.
Download or read book Sleep as a State of Consciousness in Advaita Ved nta written by Arvind Sharma and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian philosophy bases itself on three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Deep sleep, or susupti, plays an important role in Advaita Vedanta, the major philosophical school that advocates a doctrine of pure consciousness. Explaining and savoring this paradox, this book shows how the concept of deep sleep can be used in Advaita Vedanta to reveal a philosophical insight, validate an argument, illustrate a moral, or adorn a tale. Arvind Sharma explores why sleep is a phenomenon that philosophers should be interested in and examines it in classical Hindu religious texts, including the Upanisads, and in foundational, early, and modern Advaita Vedanta.
Download or read book Kundalini written by Pandit Gopi Krishna and published by Orient Paperbacks. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What happened to me that early morning during the Christmas of 1937 changed the course of my life and outlook. I sat in a small room in a house on the outskirts of Jammu. I was meditating. Practice had accustomed me to sit in the same posture for hours without discomfort, and as I sat breathing slowly and rhythmically, my attention was drawn towards the crown of my head, contemplating an imaginary lotus in full bloom, radiating light. I sat unmoving and erect. My whole being was so engrossed in the contemplation of the lotus that for several minutes I lost touch with my body and surroundings. The only objet of which I was aware was a lotus of brilliant colour, emitting rays of light. During a spell of intense concentration I suddenly felt a strange sensation below the base of the spine, at the place touching the seat, while I sat cross-legged on a folded blanket spread on the floor. The sensation was so extraordinary and pleasing that my attention was forcibly drawn towards it. My heart beat wildly, and I found it difficult to bring my attention to the required degree of fixity. The sensation extended upwards, growing in intensity. Then, suddenly, with a roar like that of a waterfall, I felt a stream of liquid light entering my brain through the spinal cord. What had happened to me? Was I hallucinating? Or had I by some strange fate succeeded in experiencing the Transcendental? I had read glowing accounts, written by learned men, of great benefits resulting from concentration and of the miraculous powers acquired by yogis through meditation. Was there, after all, really some truth in the repeated claims of the sages and ascetics of India, made for thousands of years that it was possible to apprehend reality in this life if one practised meditation in a certain way? Little did I realize that from that day onwards I was never to be my old normal self again. I had unwittingly and without adequate knowledge, roused to activity the most powerful power in man. I had stepped unknowingly upon the key to the most guarded secret of the ancients, and thenceforth for a long time, I had to live suspended by a thread, swinging between life and death, between sanity and insanity, between lights and darkness, between heaven and earth." An extraordinary autobiographical account of what happens in the mind and body when Kundalini gets spontaneously aroused... one of the clearest journals documenting spiritual transformation and mental evolution onto a higher plane of consciousness.

Book excerpt: An essential and concise introduction to eight of the world's major religions. For the Christian, there's value in learning about different religions and unfamiliar expressions of belief. First of all, it gives us a greater understanding of the world we live in. But a study of other faiths can also deepen our own while making us more effective witnesses to those who don't share a belief in Christ. In World Religions, Gerald R. McDermott explains what you need to understand about major world religions so that you can be equipped to engage people of other faiths. McDermott offers an overview of the central beliefs of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and Shinto. Features include: Insights from members of each religious community. Discussions of each religion's major traditions, rituals, and leaders. A glossary of important terms.

Book excerpt: Orientalism and Religion offers us a timely discussion of the implications of contemporary post-colonial theory for the study of religion. Richard King examines the way in which notions such as mysticism, religion, Hinduism and Buddhism are taken for granted. He shows us how religion needs to be reinterpreted along the lines of cultural studies. Drawing on a variety of post-structuralist and post-colonial thinkers, such as Foucault, Gadamer, Said, and Spivak, King provides us with a challenging series of reflections on the nature of Religious Studies and Indology.
