Download or read book Six Months in India written by Vik Vad and published by Om Capital Management Incorporated D/B/A Austin Ashram. This book was released on 2010 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With humor and drama, Vik Vad's memoir, Six Months in India, is a fascinating and sublime account of his sojourn to India. Written in the first person and initially published as a series of journal entries, his lively narrative is as entertaining as it is informative and includes an intimate, engaging, and profoundly affecting introduction to the art of yoga as well as the Indian lifestyle. After his first few weeks and even later, Vad resists romanticizing his experience. If anything he gently wades through the unfamiliar tides of arranged marriages and dire poverty as though it were a necessary part of his journey. In this polluted, yet highly spiritual place, he creates no false utopias as he describes festivals, temples, ashrams, cultural directives, and the family members he becomes reacquainted with. Ultimately, his path is one that celebrates the journey of yoga itself-while not always smooth, it's well worth the trip.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhagavad Gita Reader: All Verses in 4 Quarters The Bhagavad Gita has been chanted and read in homes and workplaces. Children and families love to recite it during festivals and gatherings. It is the discourse that instructs man to realign himself to his duty and responsibility. It is the scripture that creates a strong foundation for implicit faith and concordant action in day to day life. How may we read the Gita? Its verses are written in a meter known as Anushtup Chhanda consisting of 32 syllables each. The traditional way to recite is to pause after 8 syllables. However the commonly available editions of the Bhagavad Gita do not give any such pause. This is a Reader that lists all the 700 verses of the Gita with pauses at 8 syllables i.e. at each quarter. A complete Devanagari Latin Transliteration is provided using the iso15919 standard. This makes it very easy for the English reader to quickly learn the proper chanting procedure. The original Sanskrit text is also present with pauses at each pada. The split of the verses is done using Grammar rules of Sandhi as given in the Ashtadhyayi of Panini, a timeless masterpiece on language, word formation and syntax. The correct method to read the Visarga, the Anusvara and the Avagraha is clearly explained. The complete Devanagari Alphabet with pronunciation key is also supplied. Thus it fulfills a basic academic need of individuals, schools or colleges using the Bhagavad Gita in any manner. Most institutes imparting Sanskrit teaching also use the Gita and this book is an apt textbook for the same.

Download or read book Kul r ava Tantra written by Madhav Pundalik Pandit and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishe. This book was released on 1999 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kularnava Tantra is perhaps the foremost Tantra of the Kaula School and is constantly cited as an authority in Tantric literature. It is worthy of close study by those who would understand the tenets and practice of the tradition of which it is a Sastra. It calls upon man to wake up to the rare privilege that has been given to him, e.g., human birth in which the being becomes conscious of himself and is offered a choice, a choice between stagnation and rapid progression towards his Godhead. He is asked to purify himself and told how to do it. In unambiguous terms he is told that a wine-drinker is different from the drinkers of ecstasy; the union of delight is between the ascending Shakti and the presiding Lord above, and not between man and woman. The Introduction by Arthur Avalon (Sir John Woodroffe) gives a concise outline of the work. Sri M.P. Pandit, who is a keen student of the Tantras and Vedas, has rendered the work in English in eleven chapters. The Readings are free transla-tions with annotations where necessary, omitting technical details but preserving the spirit and essential import of the original in his characteristically lucid style. The complete text is given in Devanagari after being duly edited by Taranatha Vidyaranya for those who wish to study the book in the original Sanskrit..

Download or read book The Art of Living Foundation written by Stephen Jacobs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hindu-derived meditation movement, The Art of Living (AOL), founded in 1981 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Bangalore, has grown into a global organization which claims presence in more than 150 countries. Stephen Jacobs presents the first comprehensive study of AOL as an important transnational movement and an alternative global spirituality. Exploring the nature and characteristics of spirituality in the contemporary global context, Jacobs considers whether alternative spiritualities are primarily concerned with individual wellbeing and can simply be regarded as another consumer product. The book concludes that involvement in movements such as AOL is not necessarily narcissistic but can foster a sense of community and inspire altruistic activity.
