Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As one of the earliest of Holocaust deniers and the first to suggest that Adolf Hitler was an avatar -- a god come to earth in human form to restore the world to a golden age -- " ... [Devi's] appeal to neo-Nazi sects lies in the very eccentricity of her thought -- combining Aryan supremacism and anti-Semitism with Hinduism, social Darwinism, animal rights, and a fundamentally biocentric view of life."--Publisher informationt.
Download or read book The Ancient Tale of Savitri written by Ry Deshpande and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Aurobindo considered Savitri as his "main work" and during the last couple of years of his life allotted out of his precious time every day two and a half hours for its composition. But it did not mean that he took time off from his spiritual pre-possession simply for the purposes of a happy literary pursuit. Rather it was his constant companion in the task of realisation and establishment of the dynamic Truth in this creation. In a letter he writes: "Savitri is the record of a seeing." The birth and growth of Savitri as a "flame-child" is therefore a Yogi's spiritual autobiography. Its birth is in the Tapas-Shakti and in it is the discovery of the Word that can transform the lot of our mortality.To describe Savitri we may very well apply the epithets Vyasa used for characterising Aswapati's daughter Savitri. She is a radiant daughter, kanyā tejasvinī, she is a damsel of heaven, dévakanyā, she is heavenly and radiant in form, devarūpīni; she is Goddess Fortune and one who brings the wealth of auspicious happiness, equipped to accomplish the purpose for which she has taken this mortal birth in the world of men. Such is Savitri the Epic too. In one of the talks with his disciples Sri Aurobindo mention that for "an epic one requires the power of architectural construction" and it is precisely that what we have in Savitri. To enter into Savitri is to live in the presence of its creator.Many are its splendours, countless indeed like the stars in the sky. We could use a most powerful telescope to look at them but in the process might suddenly become one with the sky. Astonishment would be gone, and also the nightly sky, and ultimately what would remain would only be the luminous wisdom ever in progress towards the interminable Unknown that is infinity-bound. That is what Savitri gives to us.Sri Aurobindo left his body in December 1950 but for ever he left behind his consciousness in Savitri. Through it we can get directly in touch with him. Rich in its spiritual contents and nuances the poem has every scope to winningly describe the prospects of a transformed life upon the earth.Let us briefly mention about its poetry that, it is not only image and symbol, but is also sound and silence; if there is sight's sound, there is also sound's sight. And when le Musicien de Silence becomes one with le Musicien de Son we have an unsurpassable marvel. Listen to Ezra Pound: "When we know more of overtones we shall see that the tempo of every masterpiece is absolute, and is exactly set by some further law of rhythmic accord. Whence it should be possible to show that any given rhythm implies about it a complete musical form, perfect, complete. Ergo, the rhythm set in a line of poetry connects its symphony, which, had we a little more skill, we could score for orchestra."If such is the majesty and glory of Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, it has to be there in its seed form in the original text that has lent itself to this greatness and grandeur. The ancient tale of Savitri narrated by Vyasa, as is present in the body of the Mahabharata, justifies itself to be worthy of it, to be precious enough to bear the charge of full spirituality in its Word. The Savitri-creation by Vyasa is one such thematic and poetic magnificence but more importantly it is the vision and work of an accomplished Rishi though yet he in the "morning of his genius". There are many aspects of the richly occult-spiritual kind, and these have remained eternally breathing even after more than five thousand years.The contents of this booklet had first appeared in a series of instalments during 1988-89 in Mother India, a monthly review of culture, published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. While the first edition appeared in 1995 the second followed it just within a year of this. It has been now out of print for some time and Savitri Foundation is glad to take up this significant monograph in the series of its publications related to Savitri.

Download or read book Shakti written by Vanamali and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-07-21 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the mystery of the Divine Mother in all her manifold aspects • Explores more than 30 different goddess aspects of the Shakti force, both beneficial and malefic • Includes Sanskrit hymns and classic verses by Sri Auribindo for each of the goddesses Shakti is synonymous with the Devi, the Divine Mother or divine power that manifests, sustains, and transforms the universe. She is the womb of all creatures, and it is through her that the One becomes the many. Our first and primary relationship to the world is through the mother, the source of love, security, and nourishment. Extending this relationship to worship of a cosmic being as mother was a natural step found not only in the Shakti cult of Hinduism but also in ancient Greek, Egyptian, and Babylonian cultures. Shakti presents more than 30 goddess incarnations of the Divine Mother that represent both the beneficial and malefic aspects of the Shakti force. From Lakshmi, Parvati, and Saraswati to Durga, Chandika, and Kali--each of the different functions of the female goddesses in the Hindu pantheon is revealed, accompanied by traditional Sanskrit hymns, classic verses by Sri Auribindo, and discussions of tantric philosophy. The author draws from the Devi Bhagavatham, which describes all the stories of Shakti, and the Devi Mahatmyam, the most powerful scriptural text that glorifies Shakti in her form as Durga. Using these texts she shows that through the power and grace of the Divine Mother we may be released from the darkness of ignorance and taken to the abode of knowledge, immortality, and bliss--the source from which we have come.
Download or read book Hindu Goddesses written by David Kinsley and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hindu Goddesses is a valuable sourcebook and reference work for students and scholars of Hindu goddesses and of Hinduism in general. Each goddess is dealt with as an independent deity with a coherent mythology, theology and, in some cases, cult of her own. Within the complex, diverse, and rich goddess traditions of Hinduism, one can find suggestions of nearly every important theme in the Hindu religion. In many ways, this book is as much a study of the Hindu tradition itself as it is a study of one aspect of that tradition. No other living religious tradition has displayed such an ancient, continuous, and diverse history of goddess worship.
Download or read book The Lightning and the Sun written by Savitri Devi and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lightning and the Sun is Savitri Devi's magnum opus and one of the founding texts of post-World War II National Socialism. Written in Europe from 1948 to 1956 and published in India in 1958, The Lightning and the Sun sets forth a unique and stunning synthesis of National Socialism with the cyclical Traditionalist philosophy of history and Hindu mythology. Savitri Devi's goal was to create a new National Socialist religion. She aspired to be the Saint Paul to Hitler's Jesus. Paul of Tarsus took Jesus, who was a religious prophet and a failed political revolutionary, and turned him into a divine incarnation, creating a religion which served as the vehicle for the triumph of Jewish values over Rome. Savitri Devi sought to transform Adolf Hitler, who was also both a prophetic figure and a failed political revolutionary, into a divine incarnation-an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu-hoping to create a religion that would serve as the vehicle for the triumph of National Socialism over egalitarian modernity. In spite of its near-legendary status, The Lightning and the Sun is a notoriously hard to find book. The first edition consisted of only 1,000 copies and is quite rare. The 1979 Samisdat reprint is long out of print and also quite rare. The most readily available edition is William Pierce's dramatically abridged version, which cuts two thirds of the text and was not authorized or checked by Savitri Devi. The Savitri Devi Archive's new edition of The Lightning and the Sun reprints the complete and unabridged first edition and corrects its many typographical errors. It also updates the citations, adds a number of explanatory notes, includes a helpful Editor's Foreword, and provides a detailed index. With this new edition, which is edited and manufactured to the highest academic press standards, The Lightning and the Sun has finally found a worthy embodiment.
