Description

A compilation of the Mystic Eye and Essential Wisdom from a Spiritual Master. In this book, Sadhguru, a mystic of unfathomable proportions intrigues the reader as he dwells upon life, death, rebirth, suffering, karma and the journey of the Self. In a manner that is candid, audacious and unpretentious, he shatters conventional definitions of morality, religion and spirituality and provokes the reader to delve into spaces that are not for the faint-hearted. “A book for the thirsty. It is a glimpse of an oasis for someone willing to rise above the intellect and move towards the fountainhead of knowing through the wisdom of an enlightened master.”– the Times of India. “Meeting Sadhguru has been the defining moment of my life, changing my perspective on how to look at life and its challenges. Mystic’s Musings is a beautiful compilation of some of Sadhguru’s essential wisdom.”– Ravi Venkatesan, Former Chairman, Microsoft India “Mystic’s Musings makes fascinating, thought-provoking, inspiring reading and starts a pilgrimage to the very core of one’s existence.”– D.R. Karthikeyan, Former Director General, Central Bureau of Investigation and National Human Rights Commission

Overview
Hindus have one God. They also have 330 million gods: male gods; female gods; personal gods; family gods; household gods; village gods; gods of space and time; gods for specific castes and particular professions; gods who reside in trees; in animals; in minerals; in geometrical patterns and in man-made objects. Then there are a whole host of demons. But no Devil. In this groundbreaking book Dr Devdutt Pattanaik; one of India’s most popular mythologists; seeks an answer to these apparent paradoxes and unravels an inherited truth about life and death; nature and culture; perfection and possibility. He retells sacred Hindu stories and decodes Hindu symbols and rituals; using a unique style of commentary; illustrations and diagrams. We discover why the villainous Kauravas went to heaven and the virtuous Pandavas (all except Yudhishtira) were sent to hell; why Rama despite abandoning the innocent Sita remains the model king; why the blood-drinking Kali is another form of the milk-giving Gauri; and why Shiva wrenched off the fifth head of Brahma. Constructed over generations; Hindu myths serve as windows to the soul; and provide an understanding of the world around us. The aim is not to outgrow myth; but to be enriched and empowered by its ancient; potent and still relevant language.

In this exellent book, the authors discuss the concept and role of myths and legends in Indian art. The centrality of myths andlegends in ancient Indian literature, folklore and popular imagination has been brought out. In the second part of the book, masterpieces of art have been carefully included keeping in mind chronological range, variety of mediums, different sources of repositories and above all their way of presentation. art.

From The Jacket

Significantly this book shows, by using a triangulation of methods (historical, phenomenological, and structural), what it is to live in a universe of meaning centered by the idea that the Ultimate Reality is grounded in a Female Prin- ciple. It provides a framework for uniting Hindu goddess-worship in all its sacred manifestations. The work uses the name Durga-Kali (via Mircea Eliade) as a vital focus for linking together tribal, popular (bhakti) and Brahmanic (Tantric) tradi- tions. The author's approach also allows for the integration of the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of human life into a whole,-indeed-a unique type of balance. Though many sub- sequent highly specialized studies have enlarged upon aspects of its basic theme, this is the work that by and large launched a host of recent studies in the West aimed at helping those outside of the world of Sakta Hinduism to appreciate the wonder of its mythic cosmologies, cultic practices, and symbolic expressions.

Description

Practitioners around the world reap the physical benefits of yoga, assuming poses and frequently calling them by their Sanskrit names. While many know that hanuman asana is named for the deity Hanuman, few understand why this is the case. Behind each asana and its corresponding movements is an ancient story about a god, sage or sacred animal, much like Aesop’s fables or European folktales. Myths of the Asanas is the first book to collect and retell these ancient stories. the myths behind yoga’s spiritual tradition have the power to help students of all levels realize their full potential. Meditating on the tolerance of trees while standing in tree pose can help one become more tolerant. Learning how the disfigured sage Astavakra came to be the teacher of a king can liberate us from anxieties about our external appearance and our self imposed limitations. Marvelling at Hanuman’s devotion to Ram can serve as a source of spiritual strength and determination. with more than sixty beautiful illustrations to frame the stories, Myths of the Asanas will add a new dimension to your practice and study of yoga.

DESCRIPTION:

आर.के. नारायण शायद ऐसे पहले भारतीय अंग्रेज़ी लेखक हैं जिनके लेखन ने न केवल भारतीय बल्कि विदेशी पाठकों में भी अपनी जगह बनाई। उन्होंने अपने उपन्यासों और कहानियों के लिए न केवल रोचक विषयों को चुना, बल्कि उन्हें अपने चुटीले संवादों से इतना चटपटा भी बना दिया कि जिसने भी उन्हें एक बार पढ़ा उसमें नारायण की रचनाओं को पढ़ने की प्यास और बढ़ गई। नारायण ने अपनी कल्पनाओं में मालगुडी नाम का एक शहर बसाया और फिर उसके इर्द-गिर्द अनेकों कहानियां बुन डालीं। ‘नागराज की दुनिया’ भी मालगुडी की ही पृष्ठभूमि में रचा एक अनूठा उपन्यास है। नागराज का अपनी पत्नी के साथ खूब मज़े से जीवन कट रहा है। उनके पास रहने को एक बड़ा-सा घर है और करने को सिर्फ मनपसंद काम। बरामदे में बैठकर सड़क की रौनक देखना, पत्नी के साथ गप-शप करते हुए कॉफी पीना और अपनी किताब की योजना बनाना नागराज की दिनचर्या के हिस्से हैं पर उसकी शांत ज़िंदगी में तब उथल-पुथल मच जाती है जब उसका भतीजा टिम वहां रहने आ जाता है...।
