There is an ancient text in the Vedic tradition that goes by the name of Markandeya Purana. It gives various rituals and customs for family and society to observe and follow, to lead a happy and successful life. These customs are based on observing the life of real people, how they faced difficulties and overcame challenges and vagaries. Written by sage Markandeya (of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra fame) it consists of 137 chapters.Its thirteen chapters from 81 to 93 consisting of 700 verses are called Devi Mahatmya, also as Chandi Path, which is today famous as the Durga Saptashati.Within the Durga Saptashati, there are some verses known as the Devi Stuti or the Tantrokta Devi Sukta. Today it has become a custom to sing the Devi Stuti in a prayerful and soulful manner, that spreads cheer and brings great good fortune to the participants.This book is an attempt to elucidate the deep secrets enshrined in these verses, so that the English medium school children can benefit, thereby this knowledge can spread far and wide and reach every home.----------------¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿ ¿y¿ dev¿ sarvabh¿te¿u cetanetyabhidh¿yate ¿namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namä ¿ 7¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿f1/1 that ¿¿¿¿ f1/1 goddess ¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿¿ n7/3 residing in all-beings ¿¿¿¿¿ f1/1 consciousness ¿¿¿ 0 thus ¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿iii/1 closely-she supports ¿ ¿¿¿ n2/1 offer bowing down ¿¿¿¿¿ f4/1 to thee ¿¿¿ n2/1 salute ¿¿¿¿¿ f4/1 her ¿¿¿ n2/1 greet ¿¿¿¿¿ f4/1 her ¿¿¿ n2/1 as an act of humble obeisance ¿¿¿ n2/1 felicitation to she ¿----------------Contains Original verses in Sanskrit with a Latin transliteration and a lucid English commentary.

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), der berühmte Schüler Ramakrishnas, reiste nach dem Tod seines Meisters in die USA und Europa und brachte die Lehre des Hinduismus, v.a. des Vedanta, in den Westen. Er hinterließ ein enormes Werk mit seinen Schriften über die vier Yogas, seiner Rede vor dem Parlament der Religionen, zahlreichen Vorträgen, Gesprächen, Notizen, Gedichten und Briefen, das ein Klassiker des religiösen und philosophischen Schrifttums ist. Vom 11. September 1893, Vivekanandas erstem Vortrag vor dem Weltparlament der Religionen in Chicago, bis fast zu seinem Tod am 4. Juli 1902 hielt er unzählige öffentliche Vorträge und Seminare im Westen und in Indien. Die vorliegende Werkausgabe enthält eine repräsentative Auswahl in drei Bänden:1. Die Vier Yogas sowie die Aphorismen von Patanjali2. Reden vor dem Parlament der Religionen und Vorträge3. Gespräche, Aussprüche und ausgewählte BriefeSwami Vivekananda setzte sich schon früh nicht nur mit der indischen, sondern auch mit der westlichen Philosophie auseinander und war auch sehr an den zu dieser Zeit aufblühenden Naturwissenschaften und technischen Errungenschaften interessiert, was er in seine Lehre einfließen ließ. Er verband westliches und östliches Denken, Philosophie, alltägliches Leben und die Einsichten der Wissenschaften. Seine Ideen basieren auf der Lehre des Vedanta, den er, und das ist ganz neu, als eine universale Religion verstand und nicht nur, wie traditionell, für (indische) Asketen geeignet und gedacht. Dabei betonte er die Bedeutung der persönlichen Erfahrung und die verändernde Wirkung bis in die Gesellschaft hinein.Das Thema des ersten Bandes sind die vier traditionellen Wege im Hinduismus: Karma-Yoga, der Weg der Arbeit, Bhakti-Yoga, der Weg der Gottesliebe, Jnana-Yoga, der Weg des Wissens, und Raja-Yoga, der klassische, königliche Yoga. Vivekanandas freie Übersetzung und Ausführungen über die Yoga-Aphorismen des Patanjali schließen den Teil über Raja-Yoga ab.

A highly educated and cultured young woman, Laura Franklin Glenn (Devamata) was born in the Midwest in the nineteenth century. Possessing many talents and practical good sense, she was well prepared for the work which absorbed her. She began serving the cause of Vedanta as an active member of the first Vedanta Society of New York under Swami Abhedananda, Vivekananda's brother monk, for the six years 1901 to 1907.The Vedanta movement in the West can trace its strong literary roots to its earliest years, due in large part to Sister Devamata. It was her articles that appeared in the early journals of the Ramakrishna Order, the Brahmavadin (1895-1914) and the Prabuddha Bharata, begun in 1896. She also submitted articles to the Vedanta Kesari; begun in 1914 and considered a continuation of the Brahmavadin.Sister Devamata had a deep inner life whose fruits in the form of wisdom are revealed in her writings and in the lectures she gave at the Vedanta Centre in Boston and at Ananda Ashrama in La Crescenta. More than a hundred of her Sunday lectures were transcribed and published in the Message of the East over five decades. They have been lightly edited and organized to form a wonderfully rich and useful guide for spiritual aspirants who desire to live "the larger life" in their chosen path.

In this book, along with the story and method of Shaniwar Vrat, the symptoms, effects and remedies described in Lal Kitab have been given. According to astrology, a total of 9 planets have a direct and deep impact on a person's life. Saturn has got the status of a judge among all the nine planets. Saturn is the lord of Capricorn and Aquarius. In astrology, Shani Dev is considered the god of Karma. Saturn gives auspicious results for doing good deeds.

Sri Ramakrishna is one of the most thoroughly studied saints in the last 150 years. He is by any measure one of the most extraordinary mystics to have emerged from India. Ramakrishna has impacted the lives of millions around the world and he continues to intrigue and puzzle spiritual seekers and scholars alike. After reading many of Sri Ramakrishna's wonderful sayings, filled with such rich and earthly analogies, I thought it would be instructive to choose 88 of his insights and put them in a short, introductory book. To accomplish this aim, I have drawn from Max Müller's delightful, and too often neglected, book, Ramakrishna: His Life and Sayings which was first published in 1898. In addition, I have included a brief article I wrote about Ramakrishna's first Samadhi experience as a young boy who was overcome by a stunningly beautiful sight of white cranes against a cascade of blackened clouds. All of this is prefaced with a brief biography of the Bengali saint who still enthralls us today with his remarkable life and teachings.

English language encyclopedia (epic Hinduism), comprising San¿tana Dharma, a Sanskrit phrase, meaning "the eternal law", or the "eternal way", that is used to refer to Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia, is devoted to educating the public about all aspects of Hinduism ranging from history and philosophy to current events that impact Hindus.Hindu beliefs are vast and diverse, and thus Hinduism is often referred to as a family of religions rather than a single religion. Within each religion in this family of religions, there are different theologies, practices, and sacred texts.

This book seeks to explore the complex modes of interface between religion, atheism, and the Goddess in multicultural contexts. While atheism has often been seen as an interrogation of and a battle against God, the gender dimension of this discourse has not been sufficiently negotiated. Is the fight against God also a fight against the Goddess? Or is there something common between the ideological thrust of the battle against God the ¿Father¿ in atheism and the interrogation of the Divine Father in thealogy? Can the Goddess be seen as an entity radically different from the imperious transcendental that the atheists find embodied in God the Father? Or, can the Goddess be seen as ¿transcendental¿ as well as immanent, and hence subjected to the same atheist denial of transcendence to which God is subjected in non-theistic or anti-theistic arguments? With this volume, Anway Mukhopadhyay embarks on a difficult project of epistemologically, ideologically and even politically renegotiating andreorienting some of the fundamental issues involved in the discussions of and debates over atheism.

This volume is one of the first wide-ranging academic surveys of the major types and categories of Jain praxis. It covers a breadth of scholarly viewpoints that reflect both the variegation in terms of spiritual practices within the Jain traditions as well as the Jain hermeneutical perspectives, which are employed in understanding its rich diversity.The volume illustrates a complex and nuanced understanding of the multifaceted category of Jain religious thought and practice. It offers a rare intrareligious dialogue within Jain traditions and at the same time, significantly broadens and enriches the field of Contemplative Studies to include an ancient, ascetic, non-theistic tradition. Meditation, yoga, ritual, prayer are common to all Indic spiritual traditions. By investigating these diverse, yet overlapping, categories one might obtain a sophisticated understanding of religious traditions that originally emerged in South Asia. Essays in this book demonstrate how these forms of praxis in Jainism, and the philosophies that anchor those practices, are interrelated, and when brought into dialogue, help to foster new tools for understanding a complex and variegated tradition such as Jain Dharma.This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of religious and theological studies, contemplative studies, Jain studies, Hindu studies, consciousness studies, Yoga studies, Indian philosophy and religion, sociology of religion, philosophy of religion, comparative religion, and South Asian studies, as well as general readers interested in the topic.

Everything has a point of origin, and the formation of civilization is no exception. For Western culture, the vestigial epoch of cultural birth in Greece contains the best archaeological heritage of societal development, meticulously preserved by scholars. Equally unprecedented is the spectacular rise of Chanakya/Kautilya and the Mauryan Empire in India, which is one of antiquity's most astonishing political systems and continues to exert an enormous influence worldwide. Both ancient Greek and Indian civilizations have left an enduring legacy through Socrates, Plato, and Chanakya/Kautilya. In the West, Plato (and, by default, Socrates) is regarded as the most influential philosopher in history, so much so that many philosophical concepts are mere 'footnotes to Plato.' No less extensive is the influence of Chanakya, whose ideas are still studied today. In the West, Chanakya is often referred to as the 'Indian Machiavelli' due to his political treatise, the Arthashastra. Accordingly, the book is split into two sections - one of which chronicles the rise and fall of Greek aristocracy and the philosophical concepts this relates to; the principles of areté, timé, and hybris. The second section outlines the concept of sacred kingship in India, which arises from Vedic tradition and is continued by Chanakya, who revitalizes and innovates upon older ideas. Both Socrates and Chanakya have a legendary quality, which at times, borders on being mythological more than mortal, such is the extent of their influence. However, they are also much more complex than a casual glance would imply, exhibiting an extraordinary depth of character and spiritual qualities, which this book will explain.

This is the story of Shri Hayagreeva who was the incarnation of Shri Mahavishnu. If there was someone who could be a teacher to Goddess Saraswati herself, it was Shri Hayagreeva. He is worshipped as the god of knowledge and wisdom, with a human body and a horse's head, brilliant white in color, with white garments and seated on a white lotus. Haya means horse and griva means neck. So the deity with a horse head from his neck is known as Hayagriva. The book also speaks about Goddess Saraswati, her incarnations, her worship and the important place she occupies in learning, arts and music. She is seated on a white lotus, wearing a white silk sari and holding a book. Her four arms represent the human personality -learning, mind, intellect, alertness and ego. These four arms are also known to reflect the 4 Vedas - Rigveda, Atharvaveda, Samveda and Yajurveda.

Die Biografie über Sarada Devi (1853-1920) berichtet vom Leben der Gemahlin Ramakrishnas. Sie führte das einfache Leben einer hinduistischen Hausfrau, lebte mit den Mitgliedern ihrer Familie und übernahm für sie die Verantwortung. Nach Ramakrishnas Tod führte sie seine Arbeit fort, indem sie Schüler hatte, die sie ins spirituelle Leben einweihte. Doch ihre Hauptrolle war die der Mutter. Auch die Mönche des Ramakrishna-Ordens betrachteten sie als die Mutter des Ordens und folgten ihrem Rat.Sarada Devis Leben verlief äußerlich unspektakulär, war aber von einer besonderen spirituellen Tiefe geprägt. Deshalb wird sie heute als die "Heilige Mutter" verehrt, und ihr wird der gleiche Stellenwert wie Ramakrishna zugesprochen.

Der deutschbaltische Indologe Leopold von Schroeder (1851 - 1920), bekannt für seine mythologische Schule, die eine Kontinuität der deutschen Kultur von der indogermanischen Zeit bis in die Neuzeit hin zu belegen versuchte, untersucht in vorliegendem Werk Mysterium und Mimus in einem der wichtigsten Werke des Hinduismus, dem Rigveda.
