Download or read book Legends of Shree Jagannath written by Dr. Shikha Bhatnagar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book narrates interesting and amazing legends of Lord Jagannath. The mythical, historical, metaphysical, philosophical and cultural paradigms intertwine leading to an open-ended interpretation as questions arise in the seeker's mind get the corresponding answers based on their perception and intellect, blurring the lines between illusion and reality. Here faith replaces reason heralding a miraculous transformation of the "soul.” A true makeover, revealing the essence of the self, removing imprints of past "Samskaras" as one takes a dip in the ocean of "Bhakti.” It is in this mode that one should read these legends of the Lord. It is this esoteric experience which each quest for divinity signifies. Numerous accounts have been written, numerous experiences abound, yet it is " one's experience of the divine which defines and transforms one's vision of the real and surreal....I leave the decision to the readers....to experience their own version of reality as the ultimate goal which matters is "Sharanagati" to obtain "Kaivalya" a superior form of Liberation or "moksha", here "the power of the pure consciousness settles in its own pure nature".(Kaivalya Pada:Sutra 34 of Patanjali's Yogasutras.)

Download or read book M the Apostle the Evangelist Volume 14 written by Swami Nityatmananda and published by SRI MA TRUST. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swami Nityatmananda lived in the company of Sri M. for a long time, maintained a diary and elaborated it in sixteen parts of Sri Ma Darshan. The book is also available in English under the title ‘M., the Apostle & the Evangelist.’ All the sixteen parts are available in Bengali too. It is a continuation of the Kathamrita. This work is the result of twenty years of hard and incessant work and tapasya, on the banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh, in the Himalayas. In this series of 16 volumes the reader is brought in close touch with the life and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna family: Thakur, Swamiji, Holy Mother, M., Swami Shivananda, Swami Abhedananda and others. And there is the elucidation according to Sri Ramakrishna’s line of thought, of the Upanishads, the Gita, the Bible, Guru Granth Sahib, the Holy Quran and other scriptures. The third specialty of this work is the commentary on the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna by the author himself. Says Swami Shraddhananda, “One wonders at the unusual capacity of Swami Nityatmananda in recording these day to day conversations of this Vyasadeva of our time – M. – and later developing his notes into his masterly work. One cannot fail to discover the special training he received from Sri M. himself in this direction while he was serving as a teacher in M.’s school and living with him for years.” When he read it, Swami Jagadananda remarked, “The author has presented M.’s words lifelike. After reading his Kathamrita, a study of this book will throw new light on the Kathamrita. There is no doubt about it.” The great American and senior sadhu, Swami Atulananda, wrote, “This book may serve a double purpose. To those who are acquainted with M.’s Kathamrita, it may be welcome as a companion volume, and to those not yet acquainted with the Kathamrita, it may arouse a desire to make that acquaintance. For this book, which is a record of M.’s talks with his admirers about his reminiscences, not only reveals new facts about the life of Sri Ramakrishna, but throws new light on that wonderful life.” Swami Virajananda, the late President of Sri Ramakrishna Math and Mission, heard the manuscript read to him by his Secretary when he visited Dehradun for the last time, and he was delighted to hear it. He told to the author, “What a wonderful thing you have written! Why didn’t you show it to me earlier? Never mind, now go and finish the writing. Human life is so uncertain. If you complete the writing itself, publication can be taken up by others… Ah! The move is as dramatic as the subject is sublime…’

Book excerpt: People of our generation, in the age bracket of 40 to 60, are the last of the generation who had a childhood which would never come back. It was simple and had a lot of happiness around small things. It was carefree and adventurous in contrast to today’s generations who will never experience the childhood which we did despite the advancement of technology and the improvement in the standard of living. The small joys in life are no longer there, and even after having everything in life, it does not seem enough. The idea of this book is to bring forth the childhood which many of our generations would be able to relate to and savour. The book also highlights, to today’s generation, as to what they are missing in their childhood. It may bring out some of those aspects in their childhood. This book is not a simple memoir of childhood. It is an attempt to capture the childhood of a child of a middle-class family who travelled through 8 cities, lived in around 10 houses and studied in around 8 schools. It is also about the various incidents, cities and its foods.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although The Peaceful, Inward-Looking Doctrine Of The Hindu Religion Hardly Seems To Lend Itself To Endemic Nationalism, A Phenomenal Surge Of Militant Hinduism Has Taken Place Over The Last Ten Years In India. Indeed, The Electoral Success Of The Hindu Nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (Bjp) Has Proven Beyond Doubt That These Forces Now Pose A Significant Threat To India S Secular Character. In A Historically Rich, Detailed Account Of The Hindu Nationalist Movement In India Since The 1920S, Christopher Jaffrelot Explores How Rapid Changes In The Political, Social, And Economic Climate Have Made India Fertile Soil For The Growth Of The Primary Arm Of Hindu Nationalism, A Paramilitary-Style Group Known As The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (Rss), Together With Its Political Offshoots. He Shows How The Hindu Movement Uses Religion To Enter The Political Sphere, And Argues That The Ideology They Speak For Has Less To Do With Hindu Philosophy Than With Ethnic Nationalism The Hindu Nationalist Movement And Indian Politics Makes A Major Contribution To The Study Of The Genesis And Development Of Religious Nationalism, And Is Essential Reading For Anyone Who Seeks To Comprehend The Spread Of Endemic Conflict.
