Download or read book My Hindu Faith and Periscope written by Satish C. Bhatnagar and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every author believes that his or her book is meant for everyone. In this respect, however, I am the biggest beneficiary. In the process of writing these reflections for over ten years, and lately compiling and editing them, I have finally understood my faith deeply. Consequently, confidence that I lacked about Hinduism during my adult years has been replaced with pride in graying years! At times, it has taken me to such a height that in a few reflections, I have propounded a thesis that India will be a true secular country only when it will be constitutionally a Hindu state. The practice of secularism in India since 1947 has been reduced to anti-Hinduism and Hindu bashingparadoxically more so by Hindus than by non-Hindus. It is making India porous for attacks by the terrorists, who are both homegrown and foreign-based. History is repeating itself! The Hindus remain totally divided in half a dozen political parties. A sterling lesson of Indias history is that traders, preachers, and persecuted humanity of every foreign faith were permitted, sheltered, and welcomed by the Hindu kings whose kingdoms stretched from the coasts of Malabar in Kerala to Kuchh in Gujarat to Karachi in Sindhstarting more than one thousand years ago. Doesnt it make pristine Hinduism akin to humanism? What an incredible journey of this realization to dawn after nearly six decades!
Download or read book The Rider of Blue Horse written by Rajendra Mohan Bhatnagar and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rider of Blue Horse (Neele Ghore ka Sawar) is a novel based on the sparkling and heroic life of globally well-known Maharana Pratap of Mewar, who fought a long war with the unequal mighty army of Mughal Emperor Akbar, who wanted to bow down Mewar. Maharana Pratap lit a light of freedom, pride, and self-respect among the people of Mewar, inspiring the nation's struggle for freedom in the time to come. The author has successfully attempted to describe how a great hero of a nation, a great son of the soil like Maharana Pratap, attempts to thwart the mighty foreign forces who were ready to succumb to the freedom and pride of Mewar. The author approaches such gallant psyche and internal conflict while facing the struggle from a different angle, which has never been described anywhere else with such minute details. He also exposes the dual character of the Emperor and his Turk and Rajput Mansabdars side by side, making the novel much more interesting for the readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the great contribution, made by the so-called low castes, presently called Dalits, to the Hindu Religion, spiritual, social and political fields, in everyperiod of Indian history. In the chapter Aryan Gods Versus Castes , the author has brought out in detail as to how Lord Rama, Krishna and Shiva laid the ideals of liberal society free from rigidity of castes and other man-made distinctions. The author traces the present rigid structure of Hindu Caste to the period of Manusmriti and other Smrities after 2nd century AD, though the period of mass untouchability is given as 18th and 19th century AD, which resulted out of several famines and consequent extreme poverty. The treatment of the book is on modern scientific lines dipped in spirituality, as preached by Swami Vivekananda. While highlighting the plight of Dalits in the past and present period, the author has not lost sight of whatever is good and grand in Hindu philosophy.
