Download or read book Sri Rudram and Chamakam written by V. Ravi and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Rudram is considered as the heart of Krishna Yajur Veda, because Sri Rudram occupies the central part of Krishna Yajur Veda. Out of entire Sri Rudram, Namahshivaya, the Panchakshara mantra occupies the central point. Sri Rudram is also known as Rudra Upanishad. It is called so because, recitation of Sri Rudram removes our vasana-s (the impression of anything remaining unconsciously in the mind, the present consciousness of past perceptions), by imparting higher spiritual knowledge like Upanishad-s. It is also said that gods are satiated if Sri Rudram is chanted and hence it is also called Shatarudriya, which means one hundred ways of glorifying Rudra. If a tree is watered regularly, it grows with huge foliage. Similarly, if Sri Rudram is chanted, all gods are pleased. Further, recitation of Sri Rudram is considered as a remedy for all types of sins. References are available in certain Upanishads about Sri Rudram. Sri Rudram is an exclusive gift of Krishna Yajur Veda and only selected verses are found in Rig Veda. It is also known as "namakam" as it contains number of namaha. There are 11 stanzas (anuvaka - division or subdivision of Vedas) in Sri Rudram. These anuvaka-s are arranged in an order. In the first anuvaka is a prayer to an angry Rudra. Rudra is upset with those who did not obey His orders and in order to calm Him, prayers are offered to Him. Rudra becomes angry when adharma prevails over dharma.Camakam makes tears roll down the eyes due to its wonderful formation producing rhythmic waves. Camakam follows Sri Rudram recitation. There are repetition of ca after each word and hence it is called Camakam. It is also called vasordhara, which involves continuous flow of ghee (clarified butter) into the yajna fire, by reciting Camakam non-stop. Camakam is a prayer seeking riches and mental strength. There are 11 anuvaka-s and each word is followed by ca me, where ca means and/also; and me means me (I). It is important to note that all the prayers are only for the benefit of the individual concerned. From the ritualistic point of view, unless sankalapa is taken, benefits of these mantras will not accrue to others. However, benefits of listening to Chamakam will always be there for others. This book contains interpretation of both Sri Rudram and Camakam.

Download or read book Gleanings from Rig Veda When Science Was Religion written by Choudur Satyanarayana Moorthy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rig Veda is the oldest book of knowledge in the whole world. How many thousands of years ago it was compiled is still a matter of surmise. It is compiled in Sanskrit, a language which is considered as highly refined even by modern standards. The contents of Rig Veda was an enigma for scholars from the time of the original compilation till today. Astonishingly, modern science throws considerable light on the contents of Rig Veda, so much so that we may safely draw the conclusion that the book dealt with scientific issues in a very original way. Perhaps, for the first time I am exploring Rig book wholly from this angle.

Download or read book Sacred Plants of India written by Nanditha Krishna and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants personify the divine— The Rig Veda (X.97) Trees and plants have long been held sacred to communities the world over. In India, we have a whole variety of flora that feature in our myths, our epics, our rituals, our worship and our daily life. There is the pipal, under which the Buddha meditated on the path to enlightenment; the banyan, in whose branches hide spirits; the ashoka, in a grove of which Sita sheltered when she was Ravana’s prisoner; the tulsi, without which no Hindu house is considered complete; the bilva, with whose leaves it is possible to inadvertently worship Shiva. Before temples were constructed, trees were open-air shrines sheltering the deity, and many were symbolic of the Buddha himself. Sacred Plants of India systematically lays out the sociocultural roots of the various plants found in the Indian subcontinent, while also asserting their ecological importance to our survival. Informative, thought-provoking and meticulously researched, this book draws on mythology and botany and the ancient religious traditions of India to assemble a detailed and fascinating account of India’s flora.

Download or read book God and the Evolving Universe written by James Redfield and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-01-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world racked by violence and conflict, James Redfield and Michael Murphy—leading cocreators of today's spiritual boom—present a message of hope and a vision for the future. It is no accident, they argue, that the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have witnessed a revolution in new human capacities. Daily we hear and read about supernormal athletic feats; clairvoyant perception; lives transformed by meditative practices; healing through prayer-and we ourselves experience these things. The authors contend that thousands of years of human striving have delivered us to this very moment, in which each act of self-development is creating a new stage in planetary evolution—and the emergence of a human species possessed of vastly expanded potential.

Download or read book The Presence of Siva written by S. Kramrisch and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the three great gods of Hinduism, Siva is a living god. The most sacred and most ancient book of India, The Rg Veda, evokes his presence in its hymns; Vedic myths, rituals, and even astronomy testify to his existence from the dawn of time. In a lively meditation on Siva--based on original Sanskrit texts, many translated here for the first time--Stella Kramrisch ponders the metaphysics, ontology, and myths of Siva from the Vedas and the Puranas. Who is Siva? Who is this god whose being comprises and transcends everything? From the dawn of creation, the Wild God, the Great Yogi, the sum of all opposites, has been guardian of the absolute. By retelling and interweaving the many myths that keep Siva alive in India today, Kramrisch reveals the paradoxes in Siva's nature and thus in the nature of consciousness itself.
