Book excerpt: In the annals of time, there exists a realm shrouded in mystery and steeped in legend-the Abode of the Gods. It stands as an enigma, a forbidden sanctuary veiled in secrecy, accessible only to the boldest and most resolute of souls. Utterance of its name evokes a reverential hush, a whispered invocation that speaks of reverence and awe. For those who harbor dreams of transcending the boundaries of the mundane world, of piercing the veil that separates mortal from divine, the Abode of the Gods beckons like a siren's call, drawing them inexorably towards its hidden depths. As I stand upon the precipice of this mythical realm, the weight of anticipation hangs heavy upon my heart. A heady mixture of fear and exhilaration courses through my veins, electrifying my senses with the promise of adventure and discovery. The very air crackles with latent energy, charged with the potential for both triumph and tragedy. I am poised on the threshold of the greatest journey of my life-a quest into the heart of darkness, where untold wonders and perils lie in wait, lurking amidst the shadows and secrets that shroud this fabled domain. The path before me is fraught with uncertainty, a winding labyrinth of trials and tribulations that test the limits of mortal courage and resolve. Yet, despite the daunting challenges that lay ahead, I am undeterred in my determination to press forward, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and understanding. Each step I take brings me closer to the heart of the unknown, closer to unlocking the mysteries that have eluded humanity for millennia. As I venture deeper into the heart of the Abode of the Gods, I am confronted by a landscape unlike anything I have ever known. Towering spires of stone pierce the heavens, their ancient facades weathered by the passage of time yet still bearing the unmistakable imprint of divine craftsmanship. Strange and wondrous creatures roam the land, their forms both familiar and alien, evoking a sense of awe and wonder that transcends mortal comprehension. But amidst the beauty and grandeur of this otherworldly realm, there lurks a darkness-a palpable sense of foreboding that hangs heavy in the air, casting a shadow over my every step. It is a darkness born of ancient secrets and forbidden knowledge, a darkness that threatens to consume me whole if I am not vigilant in my quest. Yet, even in the face of such adversity, I am undeterred in my pursuit of truth and enlightenment. For I know that beyond the darkness lies the promise of revelation, the chance to unlock the secrets of the universe and ascend to heights beyond mortal imagining. And so, with courage and determination as my guides, I press ever onward, ready to confront whatever challenges may await me in the fabled Abode of the Gods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English translation of this major work of classical Indian astronomy and mathematics. A treasure for anyone interested in early modern India and the history of mathematics, this first English translation of the Siddhāntasundara reveals the fascinating work of the scholar-astronomer Jñānarāja (circa 1500 C.E.). Toke Lindegaard Knudsen begins with an introduction to the traditions of ancient Hindu astronomy and describes what is known of Jñānarāja’s life and family. He translates the Sanskrit verses into English and offers expert commentary on the style and substance of Jñānarāja's treatise. The Siddhāntasundara contains a comprehensive exposition of the system of Indian astronomy, including how to compute planetary positions and eclipses. It also explores deep, probing questions about the workings of the universe and sacred Hindu traditions. In a philosophical discussion, the treatise seeks a synthesis between the cosmological model used by the Indian astronomical tradition and the cosmology of a class of texts sacred in Hinduism. In his discourse, which includes a discussion of the direction of down and adhesive antipodeans, Jñānarāja rejects certain principles from the astronomical tradition and reinterprets principles from the sacred texts. He also constructs a complex poem on the seasons, many verses of which have two layers of meaning, one describing a season, the other a god's activities in that season. The Siddhāntasundara is the last major treatise of Indian astronomy and cosmology to receive serious scholarly attention, Knudsen’s careful effort unveils the 500-year-old Sanskrit verses and shows the clever quirkiness of Jñānarāja's writing style, his keen use of mathematics, and his subtle philosophical arguments.

Download or read book God written by Reza Aslan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of Zealot and host of Believer explores humanity’s quest to make sense of the divine in this concise and fascinating history of our understanding of God. In Zealot, Reza Aslan replaced the staid, well-worn portrayal of Jesus of Nazareth with a startling new image of the man in all his contradictions. In his new book, Aslan takes on a subject even more immense: God, writ large. In layered prose and with thoughtful, accessible scholarship, Aslan narrates the history of religion as a remarkably cohesive attempt to understand the divine by giving it human traits and emotions. According to Aslan, this innate desire to humanize God is hardwired in our brains, making it a central feature of nearly every religious tradition. As Aslan writes, “Whether we are aware of it or not, and regardless of whether we’re believers or not, what the vast majority of us think about when we think about God is a divine version of ourselves.” But this projection is not without consequences. We bestow upon God not just all that is good in human nature—our compassion, our thirst for justice—but all that is bad in it: our greed, our bigotry, our penchant for violence. All these qualities inform our religions, cultures, and governments. More than just a history of our understanding of God, this book is an attempt to get to the root of this humanizing impulse in order to develop a more universal spirituality. Whether you believe in one God, many gods, or no god at all, God: A Human History will challenge the way you think about the divine and its role in our everyday lives. Praise for God “Timely, riveting, enlightening and necessary.”—HuffPost “Tantalizing . . . Driven by [Reza] Aslan’s grace and curiosity, God . . . helps us pan out from our troubled times, while asking us to consider a more expansive view of the divine in contemporary life.”—The Seattle Times “A fascinating exploration of the interaction of our humanity and God.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “[Aslan’s] slim, yet ambitious book [is] the story of how humans have created God with a capital G, and it’s thoroughly mind-blowing.”—Los Angeles Review of Books “Aslan is a born storyteller, and there is much to enjoy in this intelligent survey.”—San Francisco Chronicle
