Download or read book Yoga Psychology written by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-17 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology, for the author, is a developing science which is considered to be a part of philosophy. Traditionally philosophy has included the branches of ontology, metaphysics, ethics and epistemology, but Shrii Shrii Anandamurtijii has expanded the scope of philosophy to include psychology and spiritual practices. In fact, this is one of the features which makes Ananda Marga spiritual philosophy unique.Regarding the scope of philosophy and psychology, in "Our Philosophical Treatise" (Tattva Kaomudii Part 2, 1969), the author writes: In Western philosophy there is no mention of spiritual practice, because Western philosophers had no opportunity to learn such a practice. The main reason is that, in the theology prevalent in the West, there is no concrete spiritual practice.According to general belief, psychology is a part of general science, and should therefore not be included as a part of philosophy. Thus psychology has been accepted as a branch of science in the West. But in Ananda Marga, psychology has been included as a part of philosophy. Moreover, according to Ananda Marga, the scope of psychology is wider than what is usually accepted by psychologists.Yoga psychology, though a part of philosophy, is also a science, but is not restricted to the materialistic paradigm which characterizes Western philosophy and psychology. It is the science by which spiritual aspirants can acquire knowledge and mastery of themselves in their quest for Self-realization. Knowledge of yoga psychology is essential for spiritual practices; without this knowledge, aspirants will not achieve success in their spiritual endeavours.

Download or read book Neo Humanism Liberation of Intellect written by P. R. Sarkar and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines the theory of Neo-Humanism as propounded by the great 20th century think P.R. Sarkar. Neo-humanism is described as humanism expanded to include the entire creation: all varieties of human cultural expressions, and the animal and plant world, even until the inanimate world. This 'new-humanism', rather than being an aetheistic concept, recognizes the value of a human beings internal world, and thus bases the inspiration of neo-humanism upon a universal spirituality which is an essential part of the human psyche, although at times unconscious. This inner connection provides the mental epansion, empathy and perception so that will allow human society to live 'neo-humanism' not only intheory mut as a real expereicen intergrated into the individual and collective self. The author also clearly and concisely describes the modes by which vested economic and media interests manipulate and distort human thinking, and how this can be combatted through rationality and proper education. This he links in a unique way spirituality, rationality and human emotion. This book offers a unique perspective for anyone interested in sociology, multi-culturalism, anti-speciesism, globalization, anthropology, alternative economics, etc.

This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba wrote a series of articles under the Vahini series, for Sanathana Sarathi, a monthly magazine being published by Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust, Publications Division, Prasanthi Nilayam. These precious articles are brought out now, under the title “Geeta Vahini”, in this book, for the benefit of readers. This is not a commentary or summary of the divine message that was given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. It conveys the same message in a simpler form to us, in order to remove our delusion and confer faith and strength on us, so that we may realise our own reality. Bhagawan says, “Drawing on the Divine that is inherent in us is the lesson of Geeta… Arjuna is the jiva and Krishna is the Deva. When both are in contact, impregnable might results… Krishna had to work in and through Arjuna, so that the reign of Dharma (righteousness) is re-established. Arjuna means white, pure, unblemished. Hence, he is the proper instrument.” We too can become proper instruments in restoring Dharma, if we follow the lessons that Bhagawan teaches through this book.

Download or read book The Eternal Dance of Macrocosm written by M. Towsey and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of fascinating essays which which attempt to find a synthesis between science, sociology and spirituality; East and West; materialism and mysticism. Using the ideas of the twentieth century polymath and mystic P. R. Sarkar as a base, the author weaves together the best of the scientific and mystical traditions, and searches for a point upon which they can meet and enrich each other instead of collide, thus also enriching our shared human experience. Comparisons are made with thinkers such as Thomas Kuhn ('The Structure of Scientific Revolutions'), Maturana, Verela, Sheldrake and Ken Wilber, among others. The essays discuss the idea of a paradigm shift within science, which will lead us beyond the materialist paradigm; the possible synthesis between Tantric metaphysics with modern physics and psychology; the layers and functions of mind and consciousness, with tantric and yogic practices being considered and a science of intuition and expansion of mind; and the idea of 'science with heart' which, without abandoning the scientific method, can incorporate the fact that we are not only physical entities, but also emotional and spiritual ones, seeking purpose and meaning.
