Download or read book Wisdom of the Ancient Seers written by David Frawley and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Rig Veda is not only one of the oldest sacred scriptures of the world, but also one of the most misunderstood. Past scholarship has dismissed the hymns of the Rig Veda as being expressions of a primitive animistic mentality that only rarely rose to true spiritual and philosophical heights. David Frawley's book demonstrates that this judgmental view is ill-founded. His fine renderings of select Vedic hymns bear witness to the fact that their composers were sages and seers--powerful poets who knew the art of symbolic and metaphoric communication. The Vedic hymns give us a unique glimpse not into a primitive mentality but a mentality and culture that revolved around the highest spiritual values and visions. This is an important and riveting book, ushering in a new and sounder tradition of Vedic interpretation and scholarship." Georg Feuerstein

Download or read book Echoes of Ancient Indian Wisdom written by Shantha N. Nair and published by Pustak Mahal. This book was released on 2008 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The echoes of ancient Indian wisdom can be heard from the oldest of scriptures that existed many years ago. Even thousands of years before they were written down on palm leaves, the teachings were passed on from generations to generations, from the teachers to the disciples in their oral form. These works are amongst the oldest of humanity. They laid the foundation of one of the most tolerant and diverse religions in the world, the Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism, which is marked by a wide range of ethos and philosophical approaches. Covering the vastness and immensity of the ancient Indian scriptures is akin to capturing a gigantic ocean in a small pitcher. Thus, in this book, the author has tried to catch a few 'echoes' resonating with age-old wisdom and has presented them to the readers. the book unravels the knowledge hidden inside the Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads of the Shruti that form the Vedas, and in the Smriti like Agamas, Dharma Shastras and so on. In short, it provides a glimpse, or rather a macro view of the ancient treasure of India.

Book excerpt: The answers to several questions which are baffling scientists and philosophers today are contained within the treasure-house of the Vedas, as well as the solutions to several daunting problems threatening human society. Access to these answers would open up the possibility of a quantum leap into a world of new truths and new experiences, and a study of the knowledge contained in these texts should also help in understanding the founding principles of one of the most ancient civilisations in human history. Together these could indicate to us the road to the establishment of an enduring harmony and happiness on our planet. The current work attempts to Introduce the reader to the unexplored treasury of humankind’s ancient insights. The discovery opens fascinating vistas and offers glimpses of the origins of the universe. It transports us to a forgotten era when the human mind had attained dazzling heights and delved deep into the mysteries of existence. Our supreme concern is to offer a glimpse of these insights of the Vedas in a manner which makes sense to the modern mind and yet does not distort, but only translates, the insights of the seer-scientists who composed the Vedas. We shall endeavour to avoid the pitfall of merely expressing our own ideas in the language of a foreign culture. To investigate the Vedas fully is a lifetime’s work for someone possessed of a superior intelligence. This book of necessity is a brief exploration of Vedic knowledge, written in the hope that the essence of this fount of wisdom may be conveyed to the reader in an unadulterated form. This work is offered to the reading public in the belief that its subject contains much that is valuable for today’s troubled global society. We follow this with an exploration of Vedic spirituality in its pure form, uncovering the real meaning of the terms falsely interpreted by Western scholars as ‘gods’ and ‘goddesses’. We include extracts from the ‘ancient texts, liberally endowed with poetry and metaphor, to illustrate the truths of the cosmic view revealed to humankind through the Vedas.

Book excerpt: The light of knowledge from this book is definitely going to illumine and enlighten the society, nation and the world. This book is a revolutionary step to usher in the golden era of ethics, morals and value-based living. - Dr. Chinmay Pandya, Vice Chancellor, Dev Sanskriti University, Haridwar, Uttarkhand, India. This book provides an insight into the ideas of the ancient Vedic tradition and how they might be applied to contemporary life. An excellent survey, I would certainly recommend it to those eager to consider a spiritual perspective on their life and career. - Dr. Herbert Daly, Senior Lecturer, Maths & Computer Science, University of Wolverhampton, UK. Convincingly explains how to drop the ego and realize the presence of the Sentient Life Energy that is giving us life every moment and also shows us the way to experience this all-important Sentient Life Energy. - Dr. Dillibabu Vijayakumar, Scientist, DRDO, Bangalore, India. Exist as mass of Consciousness. Exist as Sentient Life Energy. Exist as Silent Awareness. For that "Be Silent." "Just Be." The goal of Vedanta can't be expressed in any simpler terms than this. - Dr. Veerappa Gowda, Professor, TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics, Bangalore, India.

The book is fascinating, reasonable and practical, all at the same time. Both an intellectual challenge and strangely, pleasantly relaxing to read. - Steven Asherman, President & CTO, Content Galaxy Inc. New York City, USA. www.contentgalaxy.com

Download or read book A Flight of Delight written by Jyotikar K PATTNI and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Flight of Delight is a work of experiential philosophical text that contemplates the nature of such subtle topics as Karmic evolution, Divine Cosmic Truth, and the relationship between Divinity and Humankind. Utilising an expressive narrative approach that places emphasis on description and aesthetics finely, the author has endeavoured to render a thought provoking analysis in a prose poetic style. The fine text touches the core concepts of theology that look at life as a freely flowing channel of energies in profound human experiences. One of the central ideas of the work is the difference between institutional religion and experiential philosophy, with the conceptual emphasis leaning toward the latter. Fear destroys true faith. Institutional religion is constrictive that remains fixated on rules, systems, and political bureaucracies. A profound human spiritualism on the other hand suggests a cyclical direction of energy that flows without fear, suppression, oppression, exploitation, manipulation, and falsity. Realising and understanding compassion and love is much more important and significant than following set of doctrines in conflict. This is attainable in spiritual evolution - a self-discovery in profound experiences without the confines of specific creed, cast, or race. The discourse includes detailed explorations of different types of Vedic yoga's, mantras, and consciousness. The emphasis placed on the pursuit of divine wisdom and divinity incorporates all of these elements to form a comprehensive insight of profound experience for the inner well-ness and peace. The reader of 'A Flight of Delight' may also benefit from the organised structure afforded to the text. The detailed explanation of the experiential theories familiarises the reader with carefully distilled notions of spiritualism and divinity. Here is an extra ordinary work of self-healing texts from a very special person who has journeyed through adversities himself. The lyrics of this book are particularly special because the author writes from the depth of his heart, to express in the profoundest sense, the relevance of the ancient Vedic Wisdom to the hectic modern world. The mind enriching lyrics bring to us a re-awakening of beautiful divinity filled with solace, hope, and compassionate love. Life oh life! Let it be 'a flight of delight'.

All that is contained in the Veda is not only meant for the personal welfare of the individual but for the welfare of all in the universe. Authority of Veda is the highest in all matters whether religious, social, literary or legal and all sciences must sub-serve it.

This book will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to any person and library in India and in the world as a whole.
