DESCRIPTION: 

हिन्दू धर्म में त्रिमूर्ति के तीन देवताओं में से एक विष्णु हैं जिन्हें जग का पालनकर्ता भी कहा जाता है। पौराणिक ग्रंथों में विष्णु को दस अवतारों वाला दशावतार माना गया है और श्रीराम और श्रीकृष्ण उनके सबसे प्रमुख अवतार हैं। विष्णु का निवास दो अलग-अलग जगहों पर है: दुनिया से दूर बैकुंठ में, और दूसरा क्षीर-सागर में जहाँ पर वह अनन्त शेष पर विराजमान हैं। भगवद्गीता में विष्णु को विश्वरूप या विराटपुरुष भी माना गया है; इस जग पर अपना पूरा ध्यान केन्द्रित किए सदा प्रसन्न दिखने वाले विष्णु की चार बाँहें हैं जिनमें उन्होंने कमल का फूल, गदा, शंख और सुदर्शन-चक्र पकड़ रखा है। चार हाथों में पकड़ी अलग-अलग वस्तुओं का क्या रहस्य है? उनके पाँच अस्त्र भी हैं, उनका क्या महत्त्व है? विष्णु को मोक्ष या मुक्ति दिलाने वाला मुकुन्द क्यों कहा जाता है? जानिए इन सब रहस्यों को-इस रोचक पुस्तक में। देवदत्त पटनायक पौराणिक विषयों के जाने-माने विशेषज्ञ हैं। पौराणिक कहानियों, संस्कारों और रीति-रिवाज़ों का हमारी आधुनिक ज़िन्दगी में क्या महत्त्व है, इस विषय पर वह लिखते भी हैं और जगह-जगह व्याख्यान भी देते हैं। इनकी तीस से अधिक पुस्तकें प्रकाशित हो चुकी हैं और टीवी पर इनका कार्यक्रम भी दिखाया जाता है। शिव के सात रहस्य, शिखण्डी और कुछ अनसुनी कहानियाँ, देवी के सात रहस्य, पशु, भारतीय पौराणिक कथाएँ, भारत में देवी, शिव से शंकर तक और सीता के पाँच निर्णय उनकी अन्य बहुचर्चित पुस्तकें हैं।

Here the brass figure of Vishwa Rupa Lord Krishna is given a spectacular touch. Here the Lord is manifested in his Vishwarupa as was seen by Arjuna during the epic battle of Kurukshetra.
In chapters 10 and 11 of Bhagwat Gita, Lord Krishna reveals Himself as the Supreme Being and finally displays his Vishvarupa to Arjuna, who was reluctant to fight against his brothers in the epic battle of Kurukshetra. In Chapter 10 of Bhagwat Gita, Arjuna was keen to know about various manifestations through which Lord is pervading all over.
Lord Krishna replies that, "Of lights He is the radiant sun; of immovable things, He is the Himalayas; among the stars He is the moon; of purifiers He is the wind; of the wielders of weapons He is Lord Rama etc. etc."
On Chapter 11, Arjuna asks Krishna to show him the Cosmic Form of God. Lord Krishna bestows a special “vision” to Arjuna so that he can see the Divine God in His universal form. Krishna reveals His opulence, hundreds of thousands of varied divine and multicolored forms. Arjuna saw numerous mouths, eyes, wonderful visions. The form was decorated with many celestial ornaments and bore many divine upraised weapons. He wore celestial garlands and garments, and many divine scents were smeared over His body. All was wondrous, brilliant, unlimited, all-expanding.
"If hundreds of thousands of suns were to rise at once into the sky, their radiance might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that Universal Form." On seeing such a fierce form, Arjuna was awe-struck and asks God, “Who are you in this fearful form & what is Your mission in this form?” To this query of Arjuna "Lord Sri Krishna says: Time I am (Kala), the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people. With the exception of you (the Pandavas), all the soldiers here on both sides will be slain." Arjuna asks Lord Sri Krishna to return to his “intimate, beautiful form (saumya-rupa)." At Arjuna's request, Lord Krishna, again displays His real four-armed form and at last shows His two-armed form, thus encouraging the fearful Arjuna.

He was born a Kshatriya. He became a Brahmarishi. When Satyavati, wife of Rishi Ruchik, exchanges with her mother, Queen Ratna, the magic potion for bearing a child, they change not just their children’s destiny, but also the history of mankind. Born of this mix up is Vishwamitra, the son of a Kshatriya, with the qualities of a Brahmin. The duality in his life soon begins to show as he strives to become a Brahmarishi—the ultimate, the most powerful of all Gurus. Vishwamitra is the riveting story of a brave but stubborn, haughty yet compassionate, visionary king of Aryavarta who became one of the most well- Known sages of all time.

Known as the Land of the Rishis of Rishi Bhoomi, India proudly claims the heritage of the rishis(sages) as its own. Here, Vishwamitra stands out as a superlative example of the accomplishments of the rishis.
Vishwamitra was a Kshatriya king who constantly explored the realms of immortality beyond the kingdom of earth. His confrontation with Sage Vasishtha convinced him of the superiority of spiritual power over physical strength, and so he set out to attain it.
When he was given the status of Rajarshi, he was not content. This was because the word connoted a rishi who was born a Kshatriya and was considered inferior to a Brahmarshi, a rishi who had been born a Brahmin.
The arduous paths that Vishwamitra had to tread to conquer his passion in order to reach spiritual heights are described in detail, giving us a glimpse of the glory of the rishis.
India was later named after Bharata, the grandson of Vishwamitra.

One of the Trinity Gods in Hinduism, Lord Vishnu is the preserver of the Universe, whereas Lord Brahma is responsible for its creation and Lord Shiva for its destruction and regeneration. A deep sense of refinement and accomplishment is manifest in the beautiful figure. The beautiful brass figure of the Preserver of the Universe Lord Vishnu is given an exquisite treatment with some nice carvings. In order to preserve and protect the devotees from impending catastrophe, the Lord takes incarnation in human forms. There are as many as ten incarnations of the Lord.

Description:

This expanded version of Professor Gonda's Jordan lectures, given at the School of Oriental and African Studies in the University of London in 1969, presents, not a regular account of the history of Visnuism and Sivaism, but rather a detailed discussion of some of those historical, doctrinal, ritual, and literary aspects of both religious currents which do not seem to have attracted the attention they deserve. Being comparative in character it is an attempt to delineate the main characteristics of each tradition and to reconsider some vexed problems relating to their origin and the history of their theological doctrines and practices. Special emphasis is laid upon their various interrelations, upon those many features which have their roots in the Vedic past, and upon the partly parallel and often divergent development of their rituals and philosophies.


About the Author: Late Dr. J. Gonda was Professor of Sanskrit and Indo-European Linguistics in the University of Utrecht. Preface THESE LECTURES were written in 1967 and 1968 and delivered, in an abridged form, in June 1969. My intention was to collect, in a small compass, some material illustrating the characters and interrelations of the great Hindu gods Visnu and Siva and to establish a comparison between their religions. The field surveyed is, however, so vast and our sources are so copious and manifold that inevitably many aspects are only briefly treated or even completely omitted. It gives me great pleasure to express my gratitude to the Governing Body of the School of Oriental and African Studies who invited me to write this book for publication in this series and to Mr L. A. van Daalen and Miss Y. B. W. Van Reck for supplying it with an index.

Description

Here Lord Gautam Buddha is shown in Vitarka mudra on lotus base. His Greek style hair, elongated ears, sharp nose, half closed eyes and the entire body all are given a royal and detail touch. There is a deep sense of refinement and gracefulness in the brass figure. The Buddha statues are often depicted with their hands performing a number of different poses and ritual postures. There are altogether ten such Mudras. Vitarka mudra is one of the much commonly found mudra or poses. Vitarka Mudra is the mudra or a gesture representing the discussion and transmission of the teachings by the Buddha. It induces the energy of the teachings and discussions of the spiritual principles which may also involve the arguments of the ideas. The Vitarka Mudra is usually performed by joining the tips of the thumb and the index fingers together while keeping the other fingers straight. This is similar to Abhaya as well as Varada mudra but with the thumbs touching the index fingers. The circle formed by the thumb and the index finger symbolizes the constant flow of energy and information. Vitarka Mudra increases wisdom. It is a gesture of teaching or a mudra of discussion. It helps with the flow of knowledge without fear.

DESCRIPTION:

Vivekacudamani literally means 'crest jewel of wisdom'. It is an important original work of Sri Sankaracharya, one of the greatest sages of Ancient India. Endowed with lofty and sharp intellect, he wrote many incisive commentaries on great standard works of Hindu philosophy. But they are beyond the reach of those who have not attained a high proficiency in Sanskrit and other collateral philosophical disciplines. Here in Vivekacudamani he distils the quintessence of what he taught, that is, the non-dual Vedanta or Advaita Vedanta in easy Sanskrit verses whose sublimity of content is matched only by their lyrical beauty. Each verse is presented here with a free-running English translation.
