Ten Upanishads Of Four Vedas
Ten Upanishads Of Four Vedas
Ten Upanishads Of Four Vedas,Ram K.Piparaiya: A modern treatise that includes whole texts, extensive commentaries, condensed summaries, and pivotal points of inspiration. This book is a valuable compilation of the original Upanishadic writings as well as commentaries on those works. Classic works from a variety of faiths that provoke thought on. Who is God, exactly? Where did everything in the universe come from? Just who am I? Why am I in this place?
The Upanishads provide a chronicle of the human mind’s early voyages into the realm of the unknown via contemplation.
At the very least, a few centuries separated many of the nameless searchers from famous teachers and prophets such as Lao-Tzu, Confucius, Socrates, Zoroaster, Buddha, Mahavira, Abraham, and Jesus. Among the anonymous seekers were those who came before them.
In the Upanishads, the link between man, God, and the universe is illustrated via a variety of intriguing tales and metaphors.
Aphorisms are short sayings that pack a lot of wisdom into a little amount of space.
The sheer sight of Upanishads texts on a bookshelf is enough to evoke contemplation of wisdom after just a few moments of reading them.

Mimamsa Sutras of Jaimini
Mimamsa Sutras of Jaimini
One of the most important ancient Hindi philosophical writings is Jaimin’s Purva Mimamsa Sutras. Indian philosophy is based on Mimamsa, the first of the six orthodox (Dars’anas) schools. The complete work is divided into twelve adhydyces (chapters) which are further divided into sixtypadas (sections). Besides presenting conceptual explanations for the performance of Vedic rituals, the literature explains the meaning and significance of these practises in order to help readers achieve liberation, or Moksha.
According to Jaimini’s Mimamsa Sutra, all of reality is made up of material activity and the effects it produces. In the Karma-mimamsa school of thought, he and later adherents believe that there is no end to the cycle of rebirth, and that there is no freedom. Higher rebirth in the Deva realm is all that can be hoped for by Mimathsas in the endless circle of karma. It is because of this, they say, that the Vedas exist in the first place, that the primary task of a mature soul is to understand and carry out the sacrifice directives contained in the Vedas.

Gayatri: The profound prayer
Gayatri: The profound prayer
Gayatri is a profound prayer. It is an authentic prayer that elevates, exhilarates and enlightens. According to Hindu scriptures, a prayer in its real sense is not just chanting of a few verses. It is a comprehensive exercise that involves jnana (knowledge), dhyana (meditation) and anubhava (experience). Gayatri Mahamantra is a true prayer that not only reaches out but also reaches in.
Gayatri is chanted as a Mahamantra, worshipped as the Mother Goddess and expressed as a Meter. It is not a prayer for worldly and material benefits. Gayatri is a prayer for the highest enlightenment. It is a prayer that leads to a sublime experience, a prayer that opens up our mind and vision, body and intellect to a world beyond the worldly attachments. It is a prayer that leads to the Ultimate Truth and Supreme Bliss that every enlightened human being seeks.
Gayatri, like the Vedas, is meant for the entire mankind, irrespective of gender, caste, creed, religion or nationality. It is a profound prayer that can touch and transform every human being.
This book is a good read for everyone who believes in the efficacy of prayer and meditation. It is also a good read for everyone who wishes to gain an insight into the breadth and depth of ancient Indian wisdom – the Sanathana Dharma. This informative book is meant for every generation, both young and old.

Moral Dilemmas in the Mahabharata
Moral Dilemmas in the Mahabharata
Here the collected papers explore the whole question of the relation between the mythopoetic and the moral in the context of the Mahabharata. Here we have a story of extreme complexity, characters that are unforgettable, and a cosmic context in which gods and men alike grapple with destiny. The obligations of kinship and friendship jostle with each other. The women characters, as in everyday life, seem to bear a very heavy load of the burden of life and to stand in a key position in almost every conflict. We are presented with predicaments at every turn. At times these predicaments seem to be aggravated by social structure. At other times they are cushioned by it. Philosophical tangles tied up with karma and dharma are interwoven with the mythopoetic material. Perhaps philosophical issues are pinpointed rather more than they are in Greek epic literature.
The essays in this book treat the Mahabharata from an unusual angle, fastening on the moral dilemmas it presents. How universal are the dilemmas faced by the characters in the story, and are the dilemmas in fact resolved? In dealing with these questions, the discussions range over the meaning of the purusarthas, the institutions of marriage and the family, the concept of action in the Gita and the special predicaments faced by Draupadi, Arjuna and others. These studies invite the scholar to reflect afresh on the text and encourage the general reader to find in epic literature much that is relevant to life today.
