Hindu Tales From The Sanskrit by S. M. Mitra (Hardback)
- Page : 120
- ISBN : 9789394885820
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 1 cm
Thanks to Mr. S. M. Mitra, the well-known Hindu psychologist and politician, who has done so much to draw more closely together the land of his birth and that of his adoption, I am able to bring within reach of English children a number of typical Hindu Tales, translated by him from the Sanskrit, some of them culled from the ancient classics of India, others from widely separated sources. The latter have hitherto been quite inaccessible to western students, as they are not yet embodied in literature, but have been transmitted orally from generation to generation for many centuries.

Hinduism, Religion, Religion & SpiritualityThe Complete Works of Bal Gangadhar Tilak (Box Set of 4 Books) [hardcover] Bal Gangadhar Tilak
It is based on the origin of Aryanik People by Indian nationalist, teacher, and independence activist Bal Gangadhar Tilak. It propounded the idea that the North Pole was the original home of Aryans during the pre-glacial period which they had to leave due to the ice deluge around 8000 B.C. and had to migrate to the Northern parts of Europe and Asia in search of lands for new settlements. In support of his theory, Tilak presented certain Vedic hymns, Avestic passages, Vedic chronology and Vedic calendars with interpretations of the contents in detail. The Orion, or Researches into the Antiquity of the Vedas, is a pioneering work by Bal Gangadhar Tilak that explores the ancient origins of Vedic literature through astronomical references. Tilak based his conclusions on the mention of specific constellations, such as Orion (Mrigashirsha), and their positions as observed in the Vedic texts. By aligning this astronomical data with modern calculations, he proposed that the Vedic civilization thrived in a much earlier epoch, challenging established chronologies. This groundbreaking work not only showcased Tilak’s scholarly acumen. This beautiful edition, contains the essence of the Vedas and the Upanishads ad is a sure guide of the way to perfect happiness, here as well as hereafter. It preaches the threefold way of knowledge, Action and Devotion, leading to the highest good of mankind. This book is a golden embossed edition of the classic and is suitable for festive gifting as well as keeping in one’s library. Its soft matt finish and embossed gold give it a rich look topped up with enriching content.

He argued that true liberation (moksha) can be achieved by dedicating one’s actions to the greater good, without attachment to the fruits of those actions. This philosophy of Karma Yoga, or the “discipline of action,” aligns with Tilak’s vision of social responsibility, where every individual contributes selflessly to society while maintaining inner spiritual discipline.

The Joyful Wisdom (“la Gaya Scienza”) By Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (Hardcover)
Coming soon, PhilosophyThe Joyful Wisdom (“la Gaya Scienza”) By Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (Hardcover)
Nietzsche’s poetry and philosophy to vivid comprehension. Initially published in 1882 and also known by its alternate title The Gay Science, the arguments within this book are primarily occupied with the philosophical concept that God has died. It is in this publication that Nietzsche first makes his famous statement that God is dead; a phrase which was to become associated with the philosopher during and after his lifetime. For his own part, Nietzsche identifies these writings as being of an intensely personal nature, the poems within expressing feelings at the core of his being. Definitively part of the philosopher’s middle period, this work encapsulates the praise of science and intellectual prowess which characterized Nietzsche in the early 1880s. A strong alignment with skepticism and a commitment to innovation with the scientific method, are strongly praised by the philosopher.

Religion & PhilosophyThe Orion: Or Researches Into the Antiquity of the Vedas by Bal Gangadhar Tilak (H.B)
ORION AND HIS BELT Agrahdyana Agrayana in the older works.. Probable derivation of hdyana–The Agrayana sacrifices–Their number and nature Performed every half-year in Vasanta and Sharad–Greek legends of Urion-Their similarity to Vedic legends–German traditions and festivities-Stag and hind–Twelve nights-Dogdays-All of which indicate the commencement of the year in Orion –Dr. Kuhn’s explanation is insufficient–The usual adjuncts of Orion–His belt, staff and lion’s skin–The aivyaonghana of Haoma in the Avesta–The yajnopavtta of the Brfthmans– Their sacred character probably borrowed from the belt of Orion or Yajna–Use of mikhald, ajina and danda in the Upanayana ceremony–Probably in imitation of the costume of Orion or Prajftpati, the first of the Brahmans- Derivation of Orion from Agrayana-Its probability–Phonetic difficulties–Conclusion. In the last chapter 1 have quoted an observation of Plutarch that the Greeks gave their own name to the constellation of Orion, and have there discussed some Vedic legends which corroborate Plutarch’s remarks and indicate that the vernal equinox was in Orion at that time. In the present chapter I mean to examine other legends which go to shew that the constellation of Orion was known and figured before the Greeks, the Parsis, and the Indians separated from their common home. and that the legends or the traditions so preserved, and perhaps the name of the constellation, can be naturally and easily explained only on the supposition that the vernal equinox was then near the asteism of Mrigashiras.

Hinduism, Religion & SpiritualityThe Wisdom of Ananda Coomaraswamy [hardcover] by S.Durai Raja Singam
Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy (1947-76) was one of the best minds that India has produced in the twentieth century. Son of a Samil father and an English mother, his life was a living example of building bridges between Eastern and Western cultures. By profession an art critic and a museum curator. Ananda L Coomaraswamy was also a masterful exponent of metaphysics. As much at home with Plato. Aristotle and Aquinas as with Shankara and the other Vedic commentators. Familiar with the Scriptures of all the main religions and proficient in many languages. He used to teach metaphysical principles by explaining the symbolism of traditional works. In his writings, Coomaraswamy never displays his vast knowledge for the sake of mere erudition but rather uses his amazing scholarship for a well-crafted plan: to show that below the endless variety of art forms and traditional beliefs, a common thread runs deep – the acceptance of the sacred as the ultimate means to validate the multiplicity of everyday experience. This book is a compilation of quotations from his works and letters, and it constitutes a good introduction to his thought. His theories are here applied to concrete situations, related to the problems of modern India and could still suggest a third way to avoid both the traps of modern technocracy and the temptation of fundamentalism. It should not surprise us that his views are still relevant to the present situation: his opinions are rooted in truths that are neither political nor historical nor ideological, nor simply religious, nor even merely intellectual. They are rather related to that inner wisdom that embraces, without crushing it, all the distinctiveness of human experience.
