DESCRIPTION: 

वैशाली की नगरवधू, वयं रक्षाम: और सोमनाथ जैसे सुप्रसिद्ध उपन्यासों के लेखक आचार्य चतुरसेन के इस उपन्यास की पृष्ठभूमि बारहवीं ईस्वी सदी का बिहार है जब बौद्ध धर्म कुरीतियों के कारण पतन की ओर तेज़ी से बढ़ रहा था। कहानी है बौद्ध भिक्षु दिवोदास की, जो धर्म के नाम पर होने वाले दुराचारों को देखकर विद्रोह कर डालता है। जिसके लिए उसे कारागार और पागलखाने में डाल दिया जाता है। वहां पर उसे एक देवदासी और एक भूतपूर्व सेवक सहारा देते हैं और उनकी सहायता से दिवोदास धर्म के नाम पर किए जाने वाले अत्याचारों का भंडाफोड़ करता है। आचार्य चतुरसेन ने किस्सागोई के अपने खास अंदाज़ में, इस कथानक के जरिये धर्म और धर्म के ढोंग को बहुत ही भावनात्मक और रोचक ढंग से चित्रित किया है और दिखाया है कि भारत से बौद्ध धर्म का लोप किन कारणों से हुआ। पठनीयता इतनी है कि शुरू से अंत तक पाठक को बाँधे रखती है।

One of the central concepts in Buddhism is the idea of kamma. Although the importance of karma in Buddhist thought is regularly recognized, the question remains whether the Buddhist understanding of the principle of karma has been inalterably fixed, or whether it has undergone a process of development and modification during the course of Buddhist history. If, indeed, the Buddhist understanding of karma has not been static, what kinds of development has it undergone? It is of these questions that this study addresses itself. The approach taken in this study has been text-critical and historical. The initial Buddhist formulation of the principle of kamma as it is depicted in the Vinaya and the Sutta Pitakas is analyzed as a base for the study. Modifications are noted as already present in the later strata of this literature. The problem is then examined in the Abhidhamma Pitaka, where certain abstract developments in the definition and categorization of kamma are discovered. In order to provide a greater chronological scope, the text then turns to an analysis of kamma in the Milindapanha. Finally, the Abhidharmakosa of Vasubandhu is considered. A new concern with the mechanism of karmic retribution becomes evident in the Abhidharmakosa. The modification which the concept of karma is found to have undergone roughly speaking are of two broad types. First, there were popular folk developments which were accepted only reluctantly, if at all, in more scholarly circles. Then there were the more scholastic developments in the direction of greater perceptions of definition and refinement of categories. In the same vein, a growing scholarly concern for specific implications of the more general principle of karma is also noted.

Description:

“Our vision of yoga is ‘yoga as a subject of life’. This vision was conceived by Swami Sivananda and it was given a definite form and shape by Swami Satyananda. We are the experimenters and practitioners of that yoga. Today, from my experience, I can say that yoga is not a method by which one can attain self-realization, but it is the method by which one can appreciate and worship life and the opportunities that life presents to each one of us The theme of the satsangs Swamiji gave in February 2011 al Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yoga Peeth was the development of Satyananda Yoga. Going back to ancient times and tracing the evolution of yoga, Swamiji presented the roots of Satyananda Yoga. He provided an understanding of yoga from a wide perspective: as worship of life and as a sadhana to rediscover and enhance the qualities of one’s nature. Recounting the life and teachings of Swami Sivananda and Swami Satyananda, Swamiji described the transformative role of Bihar School of Yoga in the pages of history.

Description:

This 126 page book attempts to unravel the mysteries behind Goddess worship. With stories on Adi-Maya-Shakti, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Parvati, Kali, Durga, it speaks of India’s long association with female deities, and the relevance of Shakti in these modern times. Drawing from a rich tradition of Shakta imagery, Indian philosophy, history, folklore and myth, Devi is one of the finest introductions to feminist theology.

The Devi Bhagavatam, also known as the Devi Bhagavata Purana, ‘the old book of the goddess’, is an integral part of ancient Indian mythology. It is important for the Shakta sect of Hinduism, which describes the Devi as the foundation of the world and equivalent in stature to Brahman, the supreme being.

The original text was written in Bengali and consists of 318 chapters and 18,000 verses, all praising the Devi as supreme and describing instructions for her worship, including temples and rituals such as the annual ritual of Durga Puja which is celebrated all over India, especially in Bengal. The Devi, the mother of the Universe, is worshipped in India in her many forms as Goddess Durga, Kali, Shakti and Saraswati, to name a few.

Menon’s Devi : The Devi Bhagavatam Retold, is a condensed version of The Devi Bhagavatam and describes the legends of the Goddess in all her forms and interpretations. The books opens with the birth of Ved Vyasa, who is also regarded as the author of the Mahabharata and narrates poignant instances from his relationship with his son Suka, such as the dialogue between them over the decision to enter Grihastashrama. Also described is the incarnation of the Devi as Goddess Durga and the epic tale of her destruction of the evil demons Rakthabija and Mahishasura. The tale depicting the origin of the holy Indian rivers, Ganga, Padma and Saraswati, is one of the many rich stories connected to our ancient origins, woven into the tapestry of this literary piece on Indian mythology.

The beautiful brass figure of the Hindu Goddess Annapurna is given arefine and detail treatment. Adorned with some beautiful clothes, the goddess is shown in crossed-leg posture. She is the Hindu goddess of food and cooking and is empowered with the ability to supply food to an unlimited amount of people. It is believed that Annapurna is an incarnation of the Hindu Goddess Parvati, the wife of Lord Shiva, one of the Trinity Gods in Hinduism, the other two being Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma. Lord Shiva is often depicted with his begging bowl (skull), asking Annapurna to provide him food that gives the energy (Shakti) to achieve knowledge and enlightenment. Thus, Annapurna also symbolizes the divine aspect of nourishing care. The cook provides his guests with the energy to best follow their destiny. When food is cooked with a spirit of holiness, it becomes alchemy. Images of Annapurna are also found in kitchens, near dinner tables and in restaurants.

Description

-

An epitome of force and energy, the beautiful image of goddess Kali is given a detail treatment. She is holding the slain head of the demon and the lion is looking back to her. The effulgence of colours and the characters that emerge on cotton fabric, help create a resplendent effect in the beautiful painting. Kalamkari art is unique in its use of colour as a medium to portray mythological characters. As the name suggests, Kalamkari is the art of painting cotton fabrics with a kalam i.e. pen, a sharp pointed pierced bamboo that regulates flow of colour on the fabric.
