Living with Siva: Hinduism’s Contemporary Culture
Living with Siva: Hinduism’s Contemporary Culture
365 daily teachings that are founded on ancient Vedic rules and disclose how to handle family, money, relationships, technology, food, worship, yoga, and karma in order to live a really spiritual existence.
The Complete Master Course Series
This book contains some information that has never been published before and all of it is vital to your own awakening on the road to uniting with God. You will discover these profound truths and insights of Indian spirituality inside its pages. Dancing with Siva is the first book of a unique trilogy that is collectively referred to as The Master Course. It represents the culmination of fifty years of yogic realisations and the sharing of the Hindu mystical teachings with aspirants. The trilogy is a comprehensive overview of astanga yoga, which is also known as raja yoga. Astanga yoga is comprised of eight distinct stages, each of which is reliant upon the step that came before it. These eight processes are known as yama (restraint), niyama (observance), asana (posture), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (intense concentration) (contemplation).
The trilogy elucidates, in clear and concise words, why one must start at the beginning, with a solid foundation consisting of philosophical coherence and moral excellence, and then progress from there. The book “Dancing with Siva” explains the philosophical and Vedic-Agamic ideas, attitudes, and expectations that are central to the Saivite school of Hinduism.
The second book in the trilogy is titled Living with Siva, and it delves into the Saivite way of life, as well as its culture, family dynamics, character development, and the overpowering of negative routines. If emphasises yama and niyama, in addition to pranayama and asana, although to a lesser extent (hatha yoga).
Merging with Siva is the third book in the trilogy, and it covers steps five, six, and seven. These steps lead to step eight, which is the deeper realisations, samadhis, yogic experiences, and mystical encounters, such as the inner light and nada-nadi sakti, all of which we begin to experience once we learn how to dance with Siva and how to live with Siva. Merging with Siva can be purchased here. The yogic and metaphysical experiences that are detailed in Merging with Siva come about spontaneously and may be maintained if one first has a strong foundation of knowledge.

History of Civilizations of Central Asia (Vol. 5)
The volume continues the History of Central Asian Civilizations from c. 1500 to c. 1850, a period which saw the last medieval empires notably the Uzbeks, Safavids, Mughals and Dzungars, and witnessed the early impact of colonialism. Like the preceding volumes, the present one also deals with all the diverse elements of culture. It describes the last phase of nomadism as a viable system of social organization; the effects on Central Asian economies of the shift of the main lines of international trade from the Great Silk Route to the oceanic routes; the various schools of art; the last great age of classical Persian literature and the growth of Turkic literatures; and, finally, in the religious sphere, the Shi te triumph in Persia, the conversion of the Mongol peoples to Buddhism, and the rise of Sikhism.

A Concordance to the Principal Upanisads and Bhagavadgita
One of the major difficulties in appreciating the various commentaries on Vedanta Sutras and other ancient Indian philosophical texts is that numerous citations from the Upanishads and the Bhagavadgita are found in them without any exact authenticated reference to the original source. With a view to overcoming this difficulty by providing relevant cross-references, as also to furnishing useful material to students of philology and lexicography, Col. Jacob has compiled this book. This volume owes its existence to a pressing sense of need.

Foundations of Oriental Art and Symbolism: Introduction to Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist Art
Foundations of Oriental Art and Symbolism: Introduction to Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist Art
It is an edited collection of the author’s most important articles on oriental art and symbolism, with illustrations from the traditional oriental civilizations. These illustrations provide an insightful descriptions and explanations, with a small taste of the beauty that permeated the traditional Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist worlds – a beauty that has in large part been overwhelmed and swallowed by our modern era.
Part I, ‘Oriental Art‘, begins with Burckhardt’s introduction to traditional oriental art. In the following three chapters the author explores the artistic foundations of each of the three great oriental religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism, focusing particularly on the Hindu temple, the Buddha image, and Chinese landscape painting.
Part II provides insights that enable us to compare the underlying spiritual values that are the foundation for traditional cultures, with the quantitative analyses that are the starting point for today’s technological societies. In the following five chapters Burckhardt then explores examples of selected recurring symbols in the oriental worlds, such as the mirror, the sacred mask, and the serpent and dragon.

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.

The Vedic Experience Mantramanjari: An Anthology of the Vedas for Modern Man and Contemporary Celebration
The Vedic Experience Mantramanjari: An Anthology of the Vedas for Modern Man and Contemporary Celebration
The Vedic Experience Mantramanjari: An Anthology of the Vedas for Modern Man and Contemporary Celebration. One of the most stupendous manifestations of the Spirit is undoubtedly that which has been handed down to us under the generic name of the Vedas. The Vedas are still too much neglected not only in the world at large but also in their country of origin. this Vedic anthology will make direct and fruitful knowledge of the Vedas available to a wider range of people than the small elite of pandits and Indologists.
This anthology collects the most crucial texts of the Indian Sacred Scriptures–in all more than 500–newly translated into contemporary English. Dr. Panikkar’s principle has been to select and place together texts so as to offer a selection of texts that cover the full range of ‘The Vedic Experience’ and at the same time to show how they manifest the universal rhythms of nature, history, and Man. Excerpts are taken from the oldest hymns, such as the Rig Veda; from the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas, or “Forest Treatises,” and finally the Upanishads, which represent the mystical and philosophical culmination of the Vedas.
This is a book for meditation, for reading, public and private, as well as for thorough study at this wellspring of human wisdom. It should, moreover, facilitate that meeting of East and West so long desired and delayed, and now so imperative
