• The Gita and Tulasi-Ramayana: Their Common Call for the Good of All

    This book has identified “the good of all” as the single most important criterion of excellence of any socio-spiritual approach to life’s problems–particularly in the context of the conflict-ridden society of today. The comprehensive coverage of this criterion, as presented in this study, has strong links with (like Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati) three life-sustaining streams of thought. The first stream refers to the lokasamgraha-message of the Gita which has been formulated in that scripture from ten different but inter-connected angles. The second stream refers to the jagmangal-message of the Manas which is simpler to grasp and which can also be explained from the same ten angles as applied to the Gita. The third stream refers to the repeated expressions of the concern for “the good of all” which began with the Vedas and which continued as an integral part of the Indian tradition–a steady source that strengthened the calls of the Gita and Manas also.

    By putting all these ideas together and by maintaining the interest of the readers, this book has opened the door to a new field of study and research, viz. the Indian contribution to the theory and practice of “the good of all.”

  • The Bhagavad Gita and Inner Transformation

    This contemporary companion to the Bhagavad Gita addresses the heart of human yearning. It offers the possibility of transforming the battle of life into a path to Truth, a living process. Each chapter presents a road toward our inner, universal Self, bringing a deeper and wider perspective along the way.

    A psychological orientation invites the reader to move from abstract idea to individual insight. As the book proceeds, the relationship between the personal and the eternal gradually unfolds in an ever-expanding process of self-discovery.

    Quotes from the great teachers are included in the text to inspire, uplift and help us cross over the sea of illusion.

    When we can link our heart to that which has been called the first cause, the causeless cause, the way it will carry the momentum of our life toward ultimate fulfillment. This is Krishna’s promise to the person who surrenders his ego to the will of the higher force, be He called Krishna, Christ, Buddha, Yaweh, Self or the Divine Mother.

    To live one’s life on the foundation of this secret brings true self-confidence.

    For those who worship me alone,

    thinking of no “other”

    I provide for all they need.

  • Tat Tvam Asi (2 Vols.): The Universal Message in The Bhagavadgita

    The Bhagavad Gita, a great poem attributed to Rsi Vedavyasa, expounds Vedanta philosophy in the dynamic setting of a battlefield where Lord Krsna reveals the teaching of Vedanta to the warrior prince Arjuna. The essence of the Gita is to make one realise tat tvam asi. We are really the atman or Divinity with an outer covering of the physical body inside which is subtle body consisting of the mind and the intellect. Unfortunately we get attached to the body and develop the ego which is the ‘I’ or ‘My’ -ness in us. It makes us believe that our physical body is real. We forget that we are living because of the life-force inside us. The life-force is the spiritual energy and is known commonly as ‘soul’ or Atman. Tat Tvam Asi is a ‘great Upanisadic sentence’ exhorting us to realise our own divine identity. To realise one’s own divine status, to realise the same divine status in all forms manifest in the universe is to realise the oneness of all beings.

  • Bhagavad Gita (Richard Gotshalk): Translation and Commentary

    The Bhagavad Gita is a dramatic poem which forms a small part of the great epic, the Mahabharata. The poem is the dialogue through which Arjuna’s doubts are resolved by Krsna’s teaching about the nature and place of action in the ultimate reality of things. The present translation is supplemented by a commentary; both seek to emphasize how the teaching is rooted in the concrete situation, and how its order and structure reflect the changing condition of the conversants and the purpose of the conversation. Footnotes and notes are included to clarify the Sanskrit, to indicate alternative translations, and to note relevant comments from other commentators and translators.

  • The Original Gita: Striving for Oneness with Comments and Related Verses of the Bhagavad Gita

    We live in a world that functions by seeming ‘dualism’, a perspective that keeps us in bondage. In this book, dualism is addressed and shown to be illusionary, since every pair of opposites implies a third element: the notion of a difference implied by both opposites.

    The Original Gita, which predates the Bhagavad Gita, focuses on the basic philosophical and practical essentials of life and living. Here dualism is addressed and shown to be illusionary, since every pair of opposites implies a third element: the notion of a different implied by both opposites. The discussion of what is an ever-present ‘difference’ in such a triunity and how it impacts everything we perceive is pivotal to awakening to a new dimension of observation. It is in the unseen difference that we become aware of opposites, such as long-short, day-night, true-false.

    In the first part of the book, the questions-What is thought? What is space-time? What is life-death? – are examined in concise form to give a foundation for the understanding of the philosophy of the Gita. Using this basis of Eastern wisdom, the author comments on the 209 verses of The Original Gita, and a Sanskrit-to-English translation is given of the related 319 verses in the classic Bhagavad Gita that correspond to these verses; these 319 verses can therefore be considered as the core of the Bhagavad Gita. There is no reference in The Original Gita to the battle fought by the Bharatas, nor is there support for the caste system, which were interpolations added later to the Bhagavad Gita. The book includes a glossary for clarification of a number of germane Sanskrit terms, a bibliography, and an index.

  • The Legacy of Yoga in Bhagawad Geeta: The Classical Text of Srimad Bhagawad Geeta in Skt, its Romanized transliteration, Eng Translation, Lucid Commentary and Indexes

    The Geeta is an intimate dialogue between God and man. The God-incarnate is Lord Krishna and man is represented by the Mahabharata hero Arjuna. It is intimate because the esoteric wisdom imparted therein, says the Lords, is “is more secret than secrecy itself” (XVII. 63).

    A great battle is to ensue between the two royal clans of Kauravas and Pandavas. Arjuna requests

    Krishna, who is acting as his charioteer, to take him between the two standing armies so that he

    may have a look at those who have gathered to fight with him. There Arjuna is overcome with grief and refuses to raise his bow against his respected gurus and elders, and other kith and kin. At this critical juncture Lord Krishna explains to him what is right and what is wrong, and how by adhering to dharma a person can earn the highest virtue.

    Every human heart is like a battlefield of good and evil forces. At times a person is not able to

    decide the right course of action. He is deluded and confused. When confronted with such a

    situation, he can turn to the Geeta, it will not fail him. The book therefore is of universal appeal which offers satisfactory solution to basic human problems. Whatever page you turn, and whichever verse you read, it is bound to elevate and inspire. It is not the book of a particular race or religion but the common heritage of the entire mankind.

    The general theme of the dialogue is the realization of the Supreme-Self through the constant practice of Yogic entity. Sri Krishna declares that those who strive, endowed with the spirit of selfless action, Yajna and Yoga, perceive the Lord dwelling in the self. Sri Krishna gives a

    definite promise of His grace in the words, “Resigning all the Dharmas, seek refuge in Me

    alone. I shall liberate you from all sins Grieve not.”

  • Critique Non-Advaita Schools (A Contemporary Research)

    What constitutes a philosophy? What constitutes a critique? Are there sufficient common denominators on which one philosophy can critique another? Even if it is possible to critique, what could be the purpose of such a critique? Who could be the audience the critique is addressed to? What is a reasonable approach to critique?

    Pursuit of truth is the most personal goal since it cannot be pursued for another’s sake; every philosophy boasts of siddhas who have made it; yet, truth varies from being one non-dual entity, to being non-existent, to being many which are self- contradictory aJl at the same time. Could aJl the siddhas have made it, despite truth being different for everyone? Is siddhi independent of truth? If not, how to know what the real truth is?

    All philosophies either arrived at and/or enumerated their conclusions based on popular worldly models. However, the advent of Science has challenged many such conclusions; Is there a need to upgrade the traditional narrative in the light of scientific discoveries? Would that result in truth itself being upgraded?

  • Vedic Cell Biology With Life Energy And Rebirth

Trivedi in his book Vedic Cell Biology with Life Energy and rebirth. Dr. Trivedi has interpreted the Vedic hymns in a chronological order with depth of Vedic knowledge. He has done it through the knowledge of modern science. It may give new light to the scientists,for them a new hypothesis on life energy,which was known to the ancient Vedic scientists long ago. The whole play of life on the earth is due to the assimilated carbon,it has been explored under the wedding of Aryaman. The living organisms at cellular level exhibits the same functions,it has been discussed under The race of Rbhus. Dr. Trivedi has given in his interpretation of Vedic hymns,The theory of chemical evolution of life on the earth as suggested by A.I. Oparin in 1922,which is the testimony that beyond this the scientists have not traced the theory about the life energy and Rebirth,the discovery of DNA by Watson and Crick in 1955 has opened the door of Biotechnology all over the world but they are silent on Rebirth,the Vedic knowledge of DNA can open new fields of Research in this direction,as Dr. Trivedi has also discussed the theory of Rebirth with reference to the Vedic knowledge.
