Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study in Karma Karma (From The Light of Asia by Sir Edwin Arnold) It knows not wrath nor pardon; utter true Its measures mete, its faultless balance weighs; Times are as nought, to-morrow it will judge, Or after many days. By this the slayer's knife did stab himself; The unjust judge hath lost his own defender; The false tongue dooms its lie; the creeping thief And spoiler rob, to render. Such is the Law which moves to righteousness, Which none at last can turn aside or stay; The heart of it is Love, the end of it Is Peace and Consummation sweet. Obey!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Karma Few words are needed in sending this little book out into the world. It is the fourth of a series of Manuals designed to meet the public demand for a simple exposi tion of Theosophical teachings. Some have complained that our literature is at once too abstruse, too technical, and too expensive for the ordinary reader, and it is our hope that the present se7 ies may succeed in supplying what is a very real want. Theosophy is not only for the learned; it is for all. Perhaps among those who in these little booles catch their first glimpse of its teachings, there may be a few who will be led by them to penetrate more deeply into its philosophy, its science and its religion, facing its abstruser problems with the student's zeal and the neophyte's ardour. But these manuals are not written for the eager student, whom no initial difficulties can daunt they are written for the busy men and women of the work-a-day world, and seek to make plain some of. The great truths that render life easier to bear and death easier to face. Written by servants of the Masters who are the Elder Brothers of our race, they can have no other object than to serve our fellow-men.

Download or read book Karma Cola written by Gita Mehta and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the late '60s, hundreds of thousands of Westerners descended upon India, disciples of a cultural revolution that proclaimed that the magic and mystery missing from their lives was to be found in the East. An Indian writer who has also lived in England and the United States, Gita Mehta was ideally placed to observe the spectacle of European and American "pilgrims" interacting with their hosts. When she finally recorded her razor sharp observations in Karma Cola, the book became an instant classic for describing, in merciless detail, what happens when the traditions of an ancient and longlived society are turned into commodities and sold to those who don't understand them. In the dazzling prose that has become her trademark, Mehta skewers the entire Spectrum of seekers: The Beatles, homeless students, Hollywood rich kids in detox, British guilt-trippers, and more. In doing so, she also reveals the devastating byproducts that the Westerners brought to the villages of rural lndia -- high anxiety and drug addiction among them. Brilliantly irreverent, Karma Cola displays Gita Mehta's gift for weaving old and new, common and bizarre, history and current events into a seamless and colorful narrative that is at once witty, shocking, and poignant.

Download or read book A Conceptual analytic Study of Classical Indian Philosophy of Morals written by Rajendra Prasad and published by Concept Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using recontructive ideas available in classical Indian original works, this book makes a departure in the style of modern writings on Indian moral philosophy. It presents Indian ethics, in an objective, secular, and wherever necessary, critical manner as a systematic, down-to-earth, philosophical account of moral values, virtues, rights and obligations. It thereby refutes the claim that Indian philosophy has no ethics as well as the counter-claim that it transcends ethics. It demonstrates that moral living proves that the individual, his society and the world are really real and not only taken to be real for behavioral purposes as the Advaitins hold, the self is amoral being a non-agent, moksa is not a moral value, and the Karmic theory, because of involving belief in rebirth, does not fuarantee that the doer of an action is also the experiencer of its results, contrary to what is commonly held, and Indian ethics can sustain itself even if such notions are dropped. Rajendra Prasad calls Indian ethics organismic because, along with ethical concerns, it also covers issues related to professions, politics, administration, sex, environment, etc. Therefore, in one format it is theoretical and applied, normative and metaethical, humanistic and non-humanistic, etc., of course, within the limits of the then cognitive enquiry.
Download or read book Transcending the Postmodern written by Susana Onega and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcending the Postmodern: The Singular Response of Literature to the Transmodern Paradigm gathers an introduction and ten chapters concerned with the issue of Transmodernity as addressed by and presented in contemporary novels hailing from various parts of the English-speaking world. Building on the theories of Transmodernity propounded by Rosa María Rodríguez Magda, Enrique Dussel, Marc Luyckx Ghisi and Irena Ateljevic, inter alia, it investigates the links between Transmodernity and such categories as Postmodernity, Postcolonialism and Transculturalism with a view to help define a new current in contemporary literary production. The chapters either follow the main theoretical drives of the transmodern paradigm or problematise them. In so doing, they branch out towards various issues that have come to inspire contemporary novelists, among which: the presence of the past, the ascendance of new technologies, multiculturalism, terrorism, and also vulnerability, interdependence, solidarity and ecology in a globalised context. In so doing, it interrogates the ethics, aesthetics and politics of the contemporary novel in English.
Download or read book Karma Of Brown Folk written by Vijay Prashad and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2001-03-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Village Voice Favorite Books of 2000 The popular book challenging the idea of a model minority, now in paperback! “How does it feel to be a problem?” asked W. E. B. Du Bois of black Americans in his classic The Souls of Black Folk. A hundred years later, Vijay Prashad asks South Asians “How does it feel to be a solution?” In this kaleidoscopic critique, Prashad looks into the complexities faced by the members of a “model minority”-one, he claims, that is consistently deployed as "a weapon in the war against black America." On a vast canvas, The Karma of Brown Folk attacks the two pillars of the “model minority” image, that South Asians are both inherently successful and pliant, and analyzes the ways in which U.S. immigration policy and American Orientalism have perpetuated these stereotypes. Prashad uses irony, humor, razor-sharp criticism, personal reflections, and historical research to challenge the arguments made by Dinesh D’Souza, who heralds South Asian success in the U.S., and to question the quiet accommodation to racism made by many South Asians. A look at Deepak Chopra and others whom Prashad terms “Godmen” shows us how some South Asians exploit the stereotype of inherent spirituality, much to the chagrin of other South Asians. Following the long engagement of American culture with South Asia, Prashad traces India’s effect on thinkers like Cotton Mather and Henry David Thoreau, Ravi Shankar’s influence on John Coltrane, and such essential issues as race versus caste and the connection between antiracism activism and anticolonial resistance. The Karma of Brown Folk locates the birth of the “model minority” myth, placing it firmly in the context of reaction to the struggle for Black Liberation. Prashad reclaims the long history of black and South Asian solidarity, discussing joint struggles in the U.S., the Caribbean, South Africa, and elsewhere, and exposes how these powerful moments of alliance faded from historical memory and were replaced by Indian support for antiblack racism. Ultimately, Prashad writes not just about South Asians in America but about America itself, in the tradition of Tocqueville, Du Bois, Richard Wright, and others. He explores the place of collective struggle and multiracial alliances in the transformation of self and community-in short, how Americans define themselves.

Part II on Buddhism deals with Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, and Japanese treatments of karma.

Download or read book Reincarnation a Study of Forgotten Truth Classic Reprint written by E. D. Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than simply a study into reincarnation, this book is an argument for the existence of reincarnation as a fundamental component of human existence. Unlike some authors writing on the topic, author E.D. Walker is keenly aware that many people are skeptical of the very concept of reincarnation. Thus, the ultimate goal of this book is to present evidence illuminating the existence of reincarnation and its fundamental nature. Walker builds her argument by first defining the term and tackling the frequently stated objections to the existence of reincarnation. The author then serves up counterpoints to criticisms most often levied by skeptics, including why we have no memory of past lives ("birth is so violent as to scatter all the details and leave only the net spiritual result," Walker argues) amongst other critiques. The book details what is referred to as evidence of reincarnation throughout history, examining ancient civilizations, the Bible, Buddhism and other religions, and the writings of poets and thinkers on the topic of reincarnation. The book also examines transmigration through animals, the meaning of death, and the importance of karma in reincarnation. One's pre-existing beliefs will likely impact how one views this work. Those who believe in reincarnation will likely find the evidence presented believable and affirming. Skeptics may have a harder time with some of the examples of reincarnation presented, such as that of a music prodigy so talented that he must be "the reappearance of Mozart hastening to fill out the life that was cut sadly short." Ultimately, Reincarnation: A Study of Forgotten Truth is a worthwhile read for both believers and skeptics alike. It is a thorough examination of the topic, and while argumentative by its very nature, leaves room for the reader to form their own conclusions.
