DESCRIPTION:

Swami Satprakashananda was a lecturer and author for almost four decades in America. The present volume is a collection of his class talks on different aspects of Vedanta.
In an almost conversational tone he discusses such topics as:
The role of the spiritual teacher,
The aura of meditation,
The dichotomy of good and evil,
The reconciliation between Divine Grace and the Law of Karma,
The significance of spiritual visions,
The power of mantras, and
What happens after death.

Saptavidha-anupapatti represents a live-debate in the traditions of Vedanta initiated by Ramanujacarya. The central issue of this debate is to examine whether maya-avidya, postulated by Advaita-vedant, is philosophically sustainable, logically viable, and experientially reliable. While Sankara builds up the superstructure of Advaita on the basis of this concept, Ramanuja vociferously reacts to its philosophical ingenuity. This dispute between the Advaita and Visistadvaita schools with seven objections, which forms the manor theme of this book, has been going on for more than a millennium and is alive even today among Vedanta scholars. The volume contains, besides historical as well as philosophical explorations of the concept of maya-avidya, the arguments and counter arguments, formulation and counter-formulation to accommodate and reject the corresponding philosophical predilections of both the above schools by some of the preeminent philosophical minds of Indian philosophy of our times.

About the Author   Godabarisha Mishra is the Chairman of the School of Philosophy and Religious Thought at the University of Madras.

All essential information required for interpreting a chart is detailed, with a comprehensive look at each of the rasis, grahas and the 12 different bhavas. An overview is provided of many of the important yogas to look for in a chart and also emphasizes why a particular yoga gives its results in order to teach students how to interpret combinations themselves. After setting out the basics of a chart interpretation, “Vedic Astrology Demystified” details how to predict using Vimshottari Dasha system and how to incorporate transits into a prediction. The book finishes with a practical review of various charts and the timing of events using the knowledge learnt.“Vedic Astrology Demystified” is written in a friendly style, so that the reader feels he is having a personal lesson from the author. As there is much conjecture on various topics within Jyotish, the author has incorporated into the book his own practices when interpreting and predicting from a chart.

Description:

The mysteries of the the 5th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam have puzzled students of Vedic and astronomy. Confronted with a descritpion of the universe that seems at variance with the information provided by the speculation that the scientist based their knowledge from the very limited perception of their resources at hand, and such as astronomical calculations based on knowledge that constantly varies due to renewed and improved instruments at different stage makes it an unsatisfactory, and unpermanent knowledge. This is why the author here shows that the 5th canto's cosmography and the accounts of the solar system found in the Jyostisa-sastras are not contradictory, but represent distinct yet mutually consistent in comprehending the universe with important features beyond the range of ordinary sense perception.
