Download or read book Devi written by Mr̥ṇāla Pāṇḍe and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 1996 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer and journalist Mrinal Pande sees in strong passionate women who defy the strictures of a male-dominated world, shades of the Goddess. There were many such women in her life, women who succeeded beyond the expectations of men. First, there was her forceful mother, the writer Shivani. Then came Badi Amma, the most colourful woman in this book, her domineering, intellectual aunt. There were the friends who silently lived lives of emotional deprivation till they opted out of the world altogether. There were women who made the news--among them prostitutes, activists and reformers. And there were also the women who preyed on men, in conscious contempt of their vulnerability in the grip of sexual passion. In all these women, the writer sees the original Devi, created by the Gods to quell the forces of evil that they had themselves failed to contain, but quickly dismissed by them once victory was theirs. But the Devi keeps coming back in a myriad manifestations of herself, sorrowing, vengeful, but always the prime mover in the lives of men through the ages...

Download or read book The Constant and Changing Faces of the Goddess written by Phyllis K. Herman and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constant and Changing Faces of the Goddess: Goddess Traditions of Asia contains essays written by established scholars in the field that trace the multiplicity of Asian goddesses: their continuities, discontinuities, and importance as symbols of wisdom, power, transformation, compassion, destruction, and creation. The essays demonstrate that while treatments of the goddess may vary regionally, culturally, and historically, it is possible to note some consistencies in the overall picture of the goddess in Asia. The book provides a comprehensive treatment of the goddess, culminating in the selections that draw from research on Indian, Nepali, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese traditions, seldom found in other works of similar subject. The volume will be useful for students in religious studies, gender studies, Asian studies, and women's studies. With the intent of making the volume truly broad in scope, an effort has been made to include works written by art historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and religious studies scholars. Culture cannot be separated from religion; they are intertwined as an organic whole, and variations manifest themselves in the rituals and daily lives of the people. In this sense, all the essays are interconnected: the goddess manifests in many forms and appeals to differing aspects of a particular culture as a paradigm of the divine feminine.

The book attempts to trace the various manifestations of the Devi such as Sri and Durga, from the historic, artistic and esoteric view points.

Download or read book The Knowledge in the Vedas written by Sridhar Chitta and published by StoryMirror Infotech Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Book: The book explores the relation between the Divine Reality and the ritualistic worship practised by Hindus. The first chapter describes interpretations of the symbols used by Rishis in Rig Vedic hymns and of important slokas of Isha Upanishad and also describes the Vedic and Sankhyaic Paradigms, which are frameworks for the knowledge embodying Creation. In the following three chapters, discussions of the origins of the Vedas and the evolution of Vedic auxiliary texts are provided. In most Hindu households, worshippers seldom discuss the spiritual significance of mantras and sthothrams making it appear that the Gods they worship are different from reality. The fifth and following chapters are interpretations of the Lalitha and Vishnu sahasranaamas, Ganapathi Vaibhavam, Sri Rudra and Gajendra Moksham including their spiritual context. About the Author: Sridhar Chitta is a retired Professor of Electronics and Communication Engineering after several years of service in industries in India, the Middle East and Canada. When discussing spiritual matters with friends and colleagues, he noted their lack of awareness of the spiritual context of daily worship and felt a strong desire to write a book that discusses the connection. Sri Aurobindo's scholarly interpretation of the Vedas and Upanishads made a deep impression on him and led him to explore the spiritual significance of the sahasranaamas and sthothrams of Hindu Devathas. After spending more than 5 years researching and listening to a few hundred discourses, he began writing The Knowledge in the Vedas in 2018. He presently resides in Hyderabad, India and continues to explore spirituality. He has also authored Fundamentals of Electric Theory and Circuits, marketed by Wiley, India.

Download or read book Legends of Sri Krishna Mahadev written by Sharad Mohan and published by Sharad Mohan. This book was released on 2023-06-11 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Believe or Not to Believe? You aren't the first to grapple with the question of belief in God. The vast number of different religions already tell us that humans have been grasping at the divine from the very beginning. This alone speaks to the existence of God. All humans have an innate desire for something, an emptiness that longs for fulfillment. Filling this void with worldly desires like riches, power, and sensual pleasures might distract you for a little while, but it's ultimately unfulfilling. It comes down to two choices. First, you can trust in human's limited knowledge of religions, philosophies, ‘isms,’ and many others that were made by humans looking for answers. But this reasoning can only go so far because it starts with itself and ends with itself. The second option is to lean not on your understanding but on God. Many skeptics equate trust in religion to a rejection of logic or reason. But belief in God doesn't mean you aren't using sense. Seeking God can open your eyes and grant you wisdom (Psalm 119:18, Proverbs 8). While there are many reasons to put your faith in God, here are some compelling reasons we must believe. God of Tactics VS. God of Ethics Focusing on the world’s third-largest religion, followed by a one billion-plus population. It brings forth stories, ideas, and philosophies, its societal formation, culture, and the main tenets of Hindu philosophies: Dharma, Kama, Karma, and Moksha. The author has not used this book to make a comparative study of other religions but rather focused on Sanatan ideas only. Para Brahma Tattva (God's Particle / Higgs Boson) Truth is found in his various manifestations that have been covered in simple Leelas (God’s stories). Shiva and Sri Krishna are the two Hindu Gods being discussed here. This book will help the younger generation across the globe to know their religion and heritage and is highly recommended for reading by them, their parents, families, and friends. To understand Space, Time, Matter, and Multiple Universes concepts in Sanatan Dharma, you must read this book. In this 75th year of India’s Independence, also called Amrit Kal, this is the author’s gift to the great nation of India, also called Bharat. Why so many Gods? Who is Supreme? Who should we pray to? Vedas define 33 koti (category) of Gods, which Sanskrit to English language translations made this ‘koti/ category’ to crore and started saying 33 crore devi and devtas; it should be 33 categories. The 33 categories of gods are calculated as eight Vasus, eleven Rudras (different forms of Shiva), twelve Adityas (different forms of Vishnu), one Indra, and one Prajapati (Brahma). This adds up to 33. The Prism Theory to Understand Why So Many Faiths and Gods Globally To make you understand better, the author has formed a theory named - The Prism Theory. This is Copyright of the author Sharad Mohan. His Interpretation of Para Brahma (One God Tattva) satisfying various distinct manifestations and incarnations is used as an analogy to understand why Sanatan Dharma (loosely referred to as Hinduism) has so many gods & goddesses and how they are all the same eventually. Para Brahma is like a White light falling on the Prism (Puranas) and then dividing it into Seven distinct lights: VIBGYOR. V = Vishnu (Krishna), I = Ishwar (Shiva), B = Brahma, G = Ganesh, Y = Youvanaakarayai (Adi- Shakti), O = Omkar-Pranav Guru (Karthikey) or even Others (Any Deity/Any Faith/No Faith), R = Ravi (Surya). Now, within these colors, only Three are Primary colors. 1. Red = Rudra (Arupa - Solid State - Sadashiv), 2. Yellow = Parvati (Rupaarupa – Liquid State - Adi Shakti), and 3. Blue = Nilesh (Swaarupa - Gaseous State -Sri Krishna / Vishnu). Now, when the VIBGYOR is passed through another inverted Prism (Vedas), it again becomes a single White light (Para Brahma). Para Brahma is a particle very similar to God’s particle, and from this, Hindus believe that their multiple gods (manifestations/incarnations/Avatar come from. So, primarily the same Para Brahma element but for different names. The above theory can also apply to all the existing ‘ism,’ be it Atheism, Rationalism, Sanatan Dharma, Abrahamic religions, or Wokeism. In addition, it can fit into any other views that may come from the 8.4 million living organisms on this planet. This is a lovely book for students, non-Hindus, Sanatanis, Researchers, Politicians, and Business folks to know more about the “only” ancient living civilization country and its people: India, the emerging geo-political important democracy. Already 5th largest economy in GDP terms, the largest population of 1.45 billion folks, and still believes in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam; meaning the entire world is one big family.
