Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bhagavad Gita, often referred to simply as the Gita, is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is part of the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. It is written in the form of a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. The Gita is considered one of the most important texts in the history of literature and philosophy and is revered as a sacred scripture in Hinduism. The Bhagavad Gita takes place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, just before the start of a great war between two factions of a royal family, the Pandavas, and the Kauravas. Arjuna, a warrior prince and leader of the Pandavas, is filled with doubt and moral dilemmas about fighting in the war.
Download or read book Beauty Power and Grace written by Krishna Dharma and published by Mandala Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Replete with inspired illustrations by award-winning artists B.G. Sharma and Mahaveer Swami, Beauty, Power & Grace features Krishna Dharma’s dramatic retellings of pivotal ancient Indian stories of the many Hindu Goddesses. Adapted from ancient Sanskrit texts, the stories in Beauty, Power & Grace represent one of the most fundamental aspects of Hinduism—the innumerable manifestations of divinity. Among these, the portrayal of the Goddess is perhaps the most alluring. She appears as a devoted wife, a master of the arts, a terrifying demon slayer, a scornful critic, and a doting mother, to name just a few of her forms. In Vedic tradition, these depictions of the Goddess reflect the belief that male and female are simply different expressions of one supreme, absolute truth. These profound stories are brought together here in an exquisitely illustrated collection that reveals the various manifestations of the Goddess, ranging from the iconic to the obscure: Mother Yashoda peers into her infant’s mouth and is astonished to catch a glimpse of the entire universe; Ganga Devi, now synonymous with the sacred river, rides upon a great crocodile and purifies those whom she encounters; and Kali, adorned with a garland of skulls, drinks the blood of her victims on the battlefield. A definitive and timeless celebration of Goddess imagery, symbolism, and lore, Beauty, Power & Grace stunningly displays the fascinating intersection between color, form, and meaning at the heart of Hindu tradition.

Download or read book The Bh gavata Pur na written by Ravi M. Gupta and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vibrant example of living literature, the Bhagavata Purana is a versatile Hindu sacred text written in Sanskrit verse. Finding its present form by the tenth century C.E., the work inspired several major north Indian devotional (bhakti) traditions as well as schools of dance and drama, and continues to permeate popular Hindu art and ritual in both India and the diaspora. Introducing the Bhagavata Purana's key themes while also examining its extensive influence on Hindu thought and practice, this collection conducts the first multidimensional reading of the entire text. Each essay focuses on a key theme of the Bhagavata Purana and its subsequent presence in Hindu theology, performing arts, ritual recitation, and commentary. The authors consider the relationship between the sacred text and the divine image, the text's metaphysical and cosmological underpinnings, its shaping of Indian culture, and its ongoing relevance to contemporary Indian concerns.
Download or read book Meeting Hanuman written by Krishna's Mercy and published by Krishna's Mercy. This book was released on with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugriva, the chief of the forest dwellers in Kishkindha, was resting in his safe haven on the top of Mount Rishyamukha, a place where his estranged brother Vali could not attack him. Though he was safeguarded from the powerful influence of his brother, Sugriva was by no means in a peaceful condition. At every second of the day there was trepidation, as someone could be coming to attack him. Therefore it wasn’t surprising that when he saw two handsome and well-built young men carrying weapons approaching his forest, he became a bit apprehensive. These two princes seen from a distance appeared to be very powerful, and they were certainly not in the right place. The forest was meant for the animals and the ascetics, so the presence of two such powerful fighters was certainly conspicuous. As any good leader would do, Sugriva approached his most trusted aide and asked him to go down and meet the two princes. “See what they want, for I’m afraid they might be assassins sent by Vali to do me in.” Sugriva’s chief minister was no ordinary person. He was none other than Shri Hanuman, one of the most famous divine figures in the world. The wonderful details of his subsequent meeting with the two princes, Shri Rama and Shri Lakshmana, are nicely related in the ancient poem called the Ramayana. Hanuman is known as the greatest devotee of Lord Rama, who is Himself an object of worship. The accounts of their initial meeting give insight into the glorious nature of Hanuman and also indicate that his wonderful characteristics were readily identifiable to the one person whose opinion matters, the one entity who all the world has been trying to find and please since the beginning of time. Meeting Hanuman is a collection of twenty one essays discussing the different verses from the Ramayana that describe Hanuman’s meeting with the two princes of the Raghu dynasty, Rama and Lakshmana, who were searching for Sita Devi, Rama’s wife. As whoever has Hanuman’s association is forever benefitted, Rama’s reunion with Sita and the permanent alleviation of Sugriva’s fears would both have their genesis in this wonderful meeting.
Download or read book Krishna s Song written by Steven J. Rosen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-09-30 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosen offers Westerners an easy-to-read introduction to a sacred text, demystifying its considerable philosophy in a user-friendly way. This is not yet another translation, merely reiterating what the Gita itself has to say. It is rather an attempt to culturally translate the text, making use of concepts and categories to which Western readers are accustomed. By engaging familiar motifs—such as issues of modernity, pop-culture icons, and well-known philosophers in the West—the author brings the Gita into focus for non-specialists and scholars alike. Through a series of contemporary news references and insightful summaries, readers will finally understand the facts and personalities that make up the Bhagavad Gita. Using his many years of Gita-centered research, Rosen unlocks the mysteries of the text's spiritual underpinnings. He provides an overview of the Gita's narrative and teachings alongside documentation of its traditional application and more modern ways in which the text can be understood. Students and scholars alike will rejoice in how well this book lays bare the culture and the context of the Gita, resulting in a reader's deep familiarity with this most sacred of all the world's wisdom texts.
Download or read book Shreemad Bhagavad Gita written by Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda and published by Bhakti Marga Publications. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 1485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shreemad Bhagavad Gita is one of the most ancient scriptures in the world. Of all the scriptures, it is said that Gita provides the deepest and most practical knowledge about faith, devotion, surrender, detachment, and a release of expectations and ownership over one’s own actions. But like any teaching, time and unqualified minds can distort scriptures like this and misrepresent what is contained within. It is for that purpose that the Lord continuously takes birth on earth in the form of the Guru to revive the true essence of the Gita and to demonstrate the simplicity and power of the divine message of the Lord. One such Master is Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda, and this book is his personal commentary on this timeless knowledge. Included here are over 900 pages of verses, translations, drawings for every chapter, and Paramahamsa Vishwananda's extensive commentary. Perfect for the beginner as well as those who have read other commentaries, this is more than just a book. It is a guiding light that can be applied to every day, to every thought, and to every moment.
Download or read book Baby Krishna Infant Christ written by Kristin Johnston Largen and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking work in comparative theology. This stimulating work of comparative theology brings into conversation the stories of the infancy and youth Jesus with that of Krishna in the Hindu tradition. The early chapters tell the stories, first of Krishna and then of Jesus, and then describe the role each plays as savior for the faithful of that tradition. Chapter 1: Comparative Theology and Learning about Jesus Chapter 2: A Savior in Disguise the Stories Chapter 3: Krishna and His Followers How He Saves Chapter 4: Immanuel the Stories Chapter 5: Jesus and His Disciples How He Saves Chapter 6: All Grown Up Krishna and Jesus as Adults The text is not only readable but engaging, particularly when it explores the playfulness of the young Krishna and compares Krishna's early years with those of Jesus as described in such non-canonical writings as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Through this comparison Largen demonstrates the unique role Jesus' nature as both human and divine has in our Christian understanding of salvation.

It is published from Prasanthi Nilayam (the Abode of Highest Peace) and acts as a mouthpiece of Baba's Ashram as it speaks of the important events that take place in His sacred Abode, besides carrying Divine Messages conveyed through Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The word meaning of Sanathana Sarathi is the 'Eternal Charioteer'. It signifies the presence of the Lord in every being as the atma guiding their lives like a charioteer. It implies that he who places his life, the body being likened to a chariot, in an attitude of surrender in the hands of the Lord, will be taken care of by the Lord even as a charioteer would take the occupant of his chariot safely to its destination. The magazine is an instrument to disseminate spiritual knowledge for the moral, physical and mental uplift of humanity without any discrimination as the subject matter discussed therein is always of common interest and of universal appeal. The fifteen Vahinis - streams of sacredness - known as the Vahini Series comprising annotation and interpretation of the Upanishads and other scriptures, Itihasas like the Ramayana, the Bhagavatha and the Mahabharata, and authentic explanations on Dhyana, Dharma, Prema, etc., have been serially published in this magazine as and when they emanated from the Divine pen of Bhagawan Baba. This magazine is published in almost all Indian languages, English and Telugu from Prasanthi Nilayam and others from respective regions. Every year Sanathana Sarathi comes out with a special issue in November commemorating the Divine Birthday. The English and Telugu magazines are posted on the 10th and 23rd respectively, of every month, from Prasanthi Nilayam. This magazine has wide, ever increasing circulation in India as well as abroad, as the study of it brings the reader closer to the philosophy of the Avatar in simple understandable language THUS SPAKE SAI... Discoursing during the launch of Sanathana Sarathi... From this day, our Sanathana Sarathi will lead to victory the cohorts of truth - the Vedas, the Sastras and similar scriptures of all faiths, against the forces of the ego such as injustice, falsehood, immorality and cruelty. This is the reason why it has emerged. This Sarathi will fight in order to establish world prosperity. It is bound to sound the paean of triumph when universal Ananda is achieved.
