Download or read book Sutras of Hinduism written by Shashi Nakkady (N.K. Shashi) and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origin of Life According to Hinduism •The Science Behind Location of Hindu temples or ‘Argashastra’ •Sanskrit-The Language of Hinduism •Question; What Did India Give the World? •Hindu Technology Behind Nuclear Testing and Rockets to Outer Space •The Hindu Sutra Contribution to Present Day Mathematics. At the outset, I must tell the readers that this is not a work to propagate the Hindu religion, but to explain the Hindu culture as it existed in India before the advent of all other religions of the world. The origin of almost all tenets and beliefs mentioned predates the religions of the Abrahamic faith and its establishment in India, and it is for this reason, I felt it is more accurate to call it ‘Hindu Sutras’ rather than ‘Indian Sutras’ although the two constantly overlap. Indians practicing other faiths should consider it an inheritance or, more appropriately phrased, a genetic endowment. I am an agnostic Indian who wishes to abide by the culture of Hinduism.

Download or read book The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali written by and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an explanation of the practical and philosophical foundations of Raja Yoga, The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali is arguably the most important text on Yogic philosophy. The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali is widely regarded as the most authoritative text on yoga. It comprises a collection of 196 Indian sutras (“threads” – as sutra translates from Sanskrit) written 1,700 years ago. These threads or aphorisms were compiled by the Indian sage Patañjali and offer guidelines for living a meaningful and purposeful life. The book is organized into four parts and provides descriptions of the eight limbs of yoga, such as pranayama and asana. The translated text is presented alongside a clear and insightful commentary by Swami Vivekananda, which makes them more accessible to the modern reader and yoga practitioner. His message of universal brotherhood and self-awakening remains relevant today, especially in the current backdrop of widespread political turmoil around the world.

Download or read book The Yoga Sutras of Pata jali written by Edwin F. Bryant and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark new translation and edition Written almost two millennia ago, Patañjali's work focuses on how to attain the direct experience and realization of the purusa: the innermost individual self, or soul. As the classical treatise on the Hindu understanding of mind and consciousness and on the technique of meditation, it has exerted immense influence over the religious practices of Hinduism in India and, more recently, in the West. Edwin F. Bryant's translation is clear, direct, and exact. Each sutra is presented as Sanskrit text, transliteration, and precise English translation, and is followed by Bryant's authoritative commentary, which is grounded in the classical understanding of yoga and conveys the meaning and depth of the sutras in a user-friendly manner for a Western readership without compromising scholarly rigor or traditional authenticity. In addition, Bryant presents insights drawn from the primary traditional commentaries on the sutras written over the last millennium and a half.

This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is the opium of the people, said Karl Marx many centuries ago. For more than a billion people living in India and abroad, Hinduism is the religion and a way of life. In this multi-award winning book, Swami Achuthananda cracks open the opium poppy pods, analyzes the causes for euphoria, and comes away with a deeper understanding of the people and their religion. *** Winner 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (Religious Non-fiction) *** This is a comprehensive book on Hinduism. It tells you why Hindus do the things they do - and don't. Written in a casual style, the book guides you through the fundamentals of the religion. It then goes further and debunks a number of long-standing myths, some of them coming from the academia (of all places). While most books shy away from contentious issues, this book plunges headlong by taking on controversies, like the Aryan Invasion Theory, idol worship, RISA scholarship and many more. In fact one-third of the book is just on controversies that you rarely find in any other literature. Other Awards: *** Finalist - 2014 Pacific Book Awards (Religion) *** *** Bronze - 2014 IPPY Award - (Religion) ***
