Book excerpt: If you're currently in pursuit of your own personal and spiritual liberation, then this book is for you!Moksha is a Sanskrit term which means "to free" or "to let go." It does not refer to freedom from political tyranny or from financial debt, but to breaking free from the prison of one's ignorance and ego. Moksha refers to a state of being, not a place, and is central to the religions of India. Besides Hinduism, it is also used in Jainism and Buddhism, though the latter prefers the word "nirvana." In all three religions, moksha is understood to mean "spiritual liberation," the closest equivalent to the Christian heaven. This book provides an easy-to-read overview of the journey towards Liberation, through the interrelated life endeavors of dharma, artha, kama, and moksha.

Download or read book Dharma Artha Kama Moksha written by Devdutt Pattanaik and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artha-shastra is about generating food, i.e. wealth, by creating goods and services; Kama-shastra is about indulging our hungers with this food. Dharma-shastra insists we consider the hunger of others, while Moksha-shastra is about outgrowing our hungers, in order to be detached and generous. Together, these four Hindu shastras provide a framework within which human action, its purposes and consequences, can be defined; together, they validate human existence and give it meaning. In Dharma Artha Kama Moksha, Devdutt Pattanaik uses his unique understanding of mythology to provide an accessible and lucid guide to the Hindu way of thinking, with short essays that are crisp expositions of important concepts.

Download or read book Monk in a Merc written by Ashok Panagariya and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could we find happiness and attain mental peace without relinquishing our material goals? What if we could understand why we behave and act the way we do? How does our brain really trick us into many of the decisions we make every day? What if we could actually train our brain and improve our ability to lead a more meaningful life-not only for ourselves but also for society? In this brilliantly engaging read, Ashok Panagariya blends his life experiences with modern science and Indic philosophy to tackle these questions and shares tools that anyone can acquire to become a better 'brain-manager'. He delves deeply into the human mind, showing what makes the brain unique and the remarkable intrinsic capacity it holds to influence our lives. He does all this while making us acutely aware of the role luck and chance play in how we eventually shape up. Monk in a Merc is an insightful read for anyone looking to achieve eternal happiness and peace while still enjoying all that life offers-material wealth and professional success. It turns the table on the conventional understanding of monkhood, which seeks renunciation of material pursuits in search of a spiritual quest.

Download or read book Moksha written by Aldous Huxley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-04-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected writings from the author of Brave New World and The Doors of Perception on the role of psychedelics in society. • Includes letters and lectures by Huxley never published elsewhere. In May 1953 Aldous Huxley took four-tenths of a gram of mescaline. The mystical and transcendent experience that followed set him off on an exploration that was to produce a revolutionary body of work about the inner reaches of the human mind. Huxley was decades ahead of his time in his anticipation of the dangers modern culture was creating through explosive population increase, headlong technological advance, and militant nationalism, and he saw psychedelics as the greatest means at our disposal to "remind adults that the real world is very different from the misshapen universe they have created for themselves by means of their culture-conditioned prejudices." Much of Huxley's writings following his 1953 mescaline experiment can be seen as his attempt to reveal the power of these substances to awaken a sense of the sacred in people living in a technological society hostile to mystical revelations. Moksha, a Sanskrit word meaning "liberation," is a collection of the prophetic and visionary writings of Aldous Huxley. It includes selections from his acclaimed novels Brave New World and Island, both of which envision societies centered around the use of psychedelics as stabilizing forces, as well as pieces from The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, his famous works on consciousness expansion.

Download or read book Understanding World Religions written by David Whitten Smith and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding World Religions introduces students to major worldviews—including Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Native American, and Marxist—through the lens of justice and peace. The second edition has been updated and revised throughout. After an introduction to key themes in studying world religion, chapters help students explore major traditions today. Each chapter takes a similar approach, examining several dimensions of each tradition—experiential and emotional, social and institutional, narrative or mythic, doctrinal and philosophical, practical and ritual, and ethical and legal. Chapters feature profiles of major peacemakers or groups to bring the traditions to life. Profiles range from Gandhi and Martin Luther King to Thich Nhat Hanh and Dorothy Day. Further chapters explore liberation theologies, active nonviolence, and just war theory. The second edition features a broader framework than the first edition and includes new material on non-religious ethical norms, Islamophobia, colonial evangelization, religion in China, and an updated examination of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Understanding World Religions remains a powerful introduction to major worldviews with an emphasis on practical connections to peace and justice.

Download or read book The Experience of Time written by Jorge Canestri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary psychoanalysis, the concepts of time and history have become increasingly complex. It is evident that this trend offers us an opportunity to think about the intercrossing of the different temporal dimensions imbuing the subject, an inevitable aspect of the analytic process. History is time past but what is recovered is now the working through of the subject history, which carries the mark of both passing time and re-signifying time. It is precisely the notion of history that gains different dimensions when a purely deterministic analysis is disassembled. Continuities and breaks are found between subjective time and chronological time; between the inevitable decrepitude of the biological body with the passing of time and the timelessness of the unconscious; between linear, circular times and retroactive re-signification; between facts, screen memories, memory and the work of constructing history; between the times of repetition and the times of difference; between reversible and irreversible time; between the timelessness of the unconscious and the temporalities of the ego.

Download or read book 101 Thought provoking questions on life written by sanjeev sareen and published by sanjeev sareen. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people surrender to and live through their life in mediocracy. They find life as boring when they make no attempt to gain knowledge that should inspire them. Understanding is our greatest need on the spiritual path and on the path of life, no matter what our trials. Remember God never causes harm or suffering to anyone. It is we who by understanding or misunderstanding help or hinder ourselves. The other aspect of life is, each one of us carries within us generations of human beings whose descendants we are. That is why, when we are able to triumph over our own weaknesses through knowledge and working on them, we take this inner family along with us on the path of light and freedom. Not only do we help all our ancestors, but we also help our descendants, for we pass on to them the inner treasures we have acquired. Working on self is all the more important since, in doing so, we improve entire generations: and pass on the fruits of our efforts to them. No one lives or acts solely for themselves; each person lives and acts for a great number of other creatures, for whom they have a great responsibility. The wisdom in this volume is not the studied learning of a scholar but the truth as perceived through learning from a Guru over 25 years, reading of many realized masters-Paramhansa Yoganand Ji in particular, studying life at large and mainly own Meditation practice. This book is designed to provide readers with a brief summary and overview of important individual topics and issues, for quick reference and ease in studying. The works are written in a question-and-answer format. They follow some logical progression so that those reading will receive a greater appreciation of the topic and issues involved. It is said by one realized master that life without understanding is Spiritual and Material suicide. Here Is an opportunity to learn and then make use of the learning for self-growth.

The poems are mostly mystic in nature, having more than what it seems to be... you will certainly love it if you have a taste for English poetry. by: Amit Mishra (founder of The Indian Authors & Indian Book Lovers) ...beauty, truth, eternity.... a very close observation of life, these poems sneak into nothing but the philosophy of life that people confront during life-span. by: Ravi Kumar, Research Scholar with expertise in Indian English Literature, a writer for many online literary platforms The poems reflect disillusion, rejection, realisation and answer to the final call – Moksha, as called in Indian philosophy. The innovative form with a 4-3-6 pattern looks very apt for the emotional and intellectual and also cryptic nature of the poems in this collection. The Last Critic
