Hinduism, Religion, Religion & SpiritualityThe Complete Works of Bal Gangadhar Tilak (Box Set of 4 Books) [hardcover] Bal Gangadhar Tilak
0 out of 5(0)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. Karma Yoga Shastra, as expounded by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in his seminal work Gita Rahasya, emphasizes the philosophy of selfless action rooted in the Bhagavad Gita. 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.

Bhakti Yoga, or the path of devotion, is based on the doctrine Love is God and God is Love. The Bhakti yogi experiences separation and longs to meet or even just glimpses his beloved, God. Nothing else attract him, nothing else holds his attention, all else is meaningless. Bhakti Yoga appeals particularly to those of an emotional nature. The Bhakti Yogi is motivated chiefly by the power of love and sees God as the embodiment of Love. Through prayer, worship and ritual he surrenders himself to God, channelling and transmuting his emotions into unconditional love or devotion. Chanting or singingthe praises of God form a substantial part of Bhakti Yoga

Hindu Tales From The Sanskrit by S. M. Mitra (Hardback)
0 out of 5(0)- 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.
