“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” From expressing his gratitude to the ones from whom he had learned important qualities and lessons in life to detailing his thoughts and reflections over a wide range of subjects including our mind and thoughts, life and death, goodness, self-judgement, virtuousness, nature, leadership, and human rationality, Meditations gives an insight into the inner life and philosophy of the last of the ‘Five Good Emperors,’ Marcus Aurelius. With ancient wisdom that is as relevant in modern times as it was then, Aurelius‘ Meditations is one of the greatest works of Greek and philosophical literature. A series of twelve books, it has continued to influence its readers throughout the centuries.

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill (H.B)
Discussed and debated from time immemorial, the concept of personal liberty went without codification until the publication of this enduring work which applies an ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state which to this day remains well known and studied. Mills (1806-1873), a British economist, philosopher, and ethical theorist whose argument does not focus on “the so-called Liberty of the Willbut Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual” asks and answers provocative questions relating to the boundaries of social authority and individual sovereignty. He declares that there is “one very simple principle” regarding the use of coercion in society one may only coerce others either to defend oneself or to defend others from harm. Mill puts forth his basic argument in favor of liberty for the individual as long as it harms no one else. Setting forth the value of liberty of opinion and liberty of action, he emphasizes the importance of individuality versus the “tyranny of the majority” and highlights the positive effects of liberty on all people and on society, as freedom enables progress and prevents social stagnation. He details the appropriate level of authority society ought to have over the individual societys obligation to protect people incapable of exercising their own freedom. On Liberty remains one of the most influential studies on the nature of individual liberty and its role in a democratic society.

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.
