Download or read book Book Of Hanuman PB written by Parvez Dewan and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2009-07-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hanuman is an outstanding scholar, a fearless warrior, and the ideal lieutenant: intelligent, totally committed to his master, selfless and humble. Born into the Vanar tribe, a clan of the upa-devatas (demi-deities), he represents the four best-known divine attributes akhand brahmacharya (lifelong celibacy), immense physical prowess, a command of the scriptures, and unquestioning dasya bhakti (worship by serving the Lord). While Hanuman is a positive force in the life of Ram, stepping in when his fortunes are at their lowest, Ram, with his enormous powers, helps his loyal follower realize his true potential. Ram thus becomes the goal, and Hanuman, the path to attaining the goal. The Book of Hanuman recounts the story of Hanuman as the greatest devotee the most obedient servant of Ram. The book is divided into two sections. The first section traces the story of Hanuman from his meeting with Ram at Lake Pampa till the time when Ram returns to his divine form, and the second details the attributes of Hanuman, his varied representations in Hindu iconography, and rituals and prayers associated with his worship. Drawing upon stories from Valmiki's Ramayana, Parvez Dewan weaves an engrossing narrative that captures the significance of Hanuman, perhaps the most accessible deity in the Hindu pantheon.

Download or read book Hanuman s Tale written by Philip Lutgendorf and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-11 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hanuman, the devoted monkey helper of Rama and Sita, has long been recognized as a popular character in India's ancient Ramayana epic. But more recently he has also become one of the most beloved and worshiped gods in the Hindu pantheon - enshrined in majestic new temples, but equally present in poster art, advertising, and mass media. Drawing on Sanskrit and vernacular texts, classical iconography and modern TV serials, and extensive fieldwork and interviews, Philip Lutgendorf challenges the academic cliché of Hanuman as a "minor" or "folk" deity by exploring his complex and growing role in South Asian religion and culture. This wide-ranging study examines the historical evolution of Hanuman's worship, his close association with Shiva and goddesses, his invocation in tantric ritual, his physical immortality and enduring presence in sacred sites, and his appeal to devotees who include scholars, wrestlers, healers, politicians, and middle-class urbanites. Lutgendorf also offers a rich array of entertaining stories not previously available in English: an expanding epic cycle that he christens the "Hanumayana." Arguing that Hanuman's role as cosmic "middle man" is intimately linked to his embodiment in a charming and provocative simian form, Lutgendorf moves beyond the Indian subcontinent to interrogate the wider human fascination with anthropoid primates as boundary beings and as potent signifiers of both Self and Other.
Download or read book Living Ramayanas Exploring the Plurality of the Epic in Wayanad and the World written by Azeez Tharuvana and published by Westland. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book A FASCINATING BOOK ON THE MANY VERSIONS OF RAMAYANA AND THEIR ORIGIN The renowned scholar A.K. Ramanujan was of the view that there are thousands of Ramayanas. He maintained that they are not variant texts of the Valmiki Ramayana, but largely independent ‘tellings’. Even in our age, when printing has become wide-spread, Rama’s story lives on in the minds of the people through narration and performance. In Kerala itself, there are many unwritten Ramayanas. It is believed that the crucial events in the epic unfolded in Wayanad. The names of places and community consciousness corroborate this belief: the ashram at Ashramkolly near Pulpally is Valmiki’s ashram; Jadayattakavu is where Sita went down into the earth; locals recognise the scar left by the tail of Hanuman. But there are several Ramayanas in Wayanad, not just one. In their differences are reflected the social relations of each community. The Adiya Ramayana, Chetti Ramayana and Sitayana, collected and edited by Azeez Tharuvana are innovative tellings. In this fascinating book, Tharuvana talks about the many forms of the timeless epic that originated in Wayanad against the backdrop of the other Ramayanas popular in India and abroad. The stories, collected as part of this effort, provide insights into the traditional cultural consciousness and ideological world of communities in Wayanad. Brilliantly researched and simply written, The Wayanad Ramayanas presents a new perspective: this ode to Rama is a social text, not a religious one.
Download or read book My Hanuman Chalisa written by Devdutt Pattanaik and published by Rupa Publications India. This book was released on 2017 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting on one of Hinduism's most popular prayer for positive energy Acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies the Hanuman Chalisa for the contemporary reader. His unique approach makes the ancient hymn accessible, combined as it is with his trademark illustrations. Every time we experience negativity in the world and within ourselves, every time we encounter jealousy, rage and frustration, manifesting as violation and violence, we hear, or read, the Hanuman Chalisa. Composed over four hundred years ago by Tulsidas, its simple words in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi and its simple metre, musically and very potently evoke the mythology, history and mystery of Hanuman, the much-loved Hindu deity, through whom Vedic wisdom reached the masses. As verse follows verse, our frightened, crumpled mind begins to expand with knowledge and insight and our faith in humanity, both within and without, is restored.

This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Neem Karoli Baba. The date of birth of Neem Karoli Baba is not known. It is presumed that Baba was born around 1900. He left his body on 11 Sep 1973. He helped millions to start their lives and made it trouble free. He became a divine energy for people of all faiths, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, men and women, young and old, Indian and western. Presidents, Vice Presidents, Governors etc, Amongst first of his western devotee was Dr Richard Alpert of USA a professor of clinical psychology at the Harvard University, USA. He met Baba in 1967. But even after he left his body in 1973 people came to his Ashram and their worries were solved. For example Steve Jobs CEO of Apple came to India and visited the Ashram in 1974, after Baba had left his body. After he went back to USA soon his fortune started building up and Apple became one of the biggest names in industry. Mark Zukerberg Founder of Face Book was also helped. Famous Hollywood actress and producer Julia Roberts, is a devotee of the guru Neem Karoli Baba. "Larry" Brilliant an American epidemiologist and author of "Sometimes Brilliant" participated in the successful World Health Organization (WHO) smallpox eradication program on the advice of Neem Karoli Baba. There are no books, or preaching by Baba. The only books that are available are from his Indian and western devotees who complied experiences of various devotees that came in contact with Baba. I hope this book would help the western readers to understand "Hinduism," Master/ disciple, God/ devotee relationships to solve mundane problems and rid of the worries anxiety and misery.
Download or read book Be Here Now written by Ram Dass and published by Harmony. This book was released on 1971-10-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved guru Ram Dass tells the story of his spiritual awakening and gives you the tools to take control of your life in this “counterculture bible” (The New York Times) featuring powerful guidance on yoga, meditation, and finding your true self. When Be Here Now was first published in 1971, it filled a deep spiritual emptiness, launched the ongoing mindfulness revolution, and established Ram Dass as perhaps the preeminent seeker of the twentieth century. Just ten years earlier, he was known as Professor Richard Alpert. He held appointments in four departments at Harvard University. He published books, drove a Mercedes and regularly vacationed in the Caribbean. By most societal standards, he had achieved great success. . . . And yet he couldn’t escape the feeling that something was missing. Psilocybin and LSD changed that. During a period of experimentation, Alpert peeled away each layer of his identity, disassociating from himself as a professor, a social cosmopolite, and lastly, as a physical being. Fear turned into exaltation upon the realization that at his truest, he was just his inner-self: a luminous being that he could trust indefinitely and love infinitely. And thus, a spiritual journey commenced. Alpert headed to India where his guru renamed him Baba Ram Dass—“servant of God.” He was introduced to mindful breathing exercises, hatha yoga, and Eastern philosophy. If he found himself reminiscing or planning, he was reminded to “Be Here Now.” He started upon the path of enlightenment, and has been journeying along it ever since. Be Here Now is a vehicle for sharing the true message, and a guide to self-determination.
