Book Description
I am Brahman is an inspired quest into the heart of the non-dual reality. This deeply personal journey discovers the essentials in religion, science and art which all point to the Advaitin truth that consciousness itself is the basis of all existence. This short but visceral journey includes mystical experiences in India and goes deeper than ever before to describe what it is like to experience Brahman - the great Oneness of which we are a part. Rather than just another descriptive book about non-duality I am Brahman takes wings and carries the reader from the banks of the Ganges into the poetry of the soul. Here is what science has been looking for and the theology to unite all faiths. Maurice Anslow's book pulls together the searchings of a lifetime and deserves to become a modern spiritual classic.

I Am Brahman
Author: Sukhdev Virdee
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN: 9781795634663
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
This is the 2nd Part of the Series 'I Am Consciousness"We highly recommend that you read the 1st part before commencing this one.If you are seeking God or your true Self, then you must have already heard the cliche sayings such as, "You are the Universe", "You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop", We are all One" etc. But mostly when asked to show or explain these sayings without blind faith becomes almost impossible. This part deals with the understanding that you are One with the Universe. The examples, practical situations and wisdom of the Upanishads are presented in very simple and easy to understand words, woven into an interesting story. Part 1 of the series, (See God With Open Eyes), explains what the Supreme Being is and how to see it everywhere, every time and in everything. By the end of this little book, you, the reader, will without a doubt, know that you are One with the Universe and that the Supreme Being is nothing but your true identity, which is Brahman. The Upanishads message is very clear and precise. It doesn't ask the seeker to have blind faith or believe in anything without logically explaining it. Vedanta is always true 'here and now' which means that any message of the Upanishads can be put to the test 'here and now' to experience it for yourself. This series is put in an interesting story format for easier understanding. Join David (From Part One) as he finally arrives at the Himalayan Village and meets Swamiji who, in a loving and passionate way through practical examples, clear logic and reasoning shows him and the others who have arrived that same day how each and every one of us is one with the Supreme Being - Brahman. He answers David's questions beyond doubt and firmly establishes the great saying from the Vedas, "Aham Brahma Asmi" which means, "I Am Brahman."

The Advaita Worldview
Author: Anantanand Rambachan
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 079148131X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title In this book, Anantanand Rambachan offers a fresh and detailed perspective on Advaita Vedanta, Hinduism's most influential and revered religious tradition. Rambachan, who is both a scholar and an Advaitin, attends closely to the Upanisads and authentic commentaries of Sankara to challenge the tradition and to reconsider central aspects of its current teachings. His reconstruction and reinterpretation of Advaita focuses in particular on the nature of brahman, the status of the world in relation to brahman, and the meaning and relevance of liberation. Rambachan queries contemporary representations of an impersonal brahman and the need for popular, hierarchical distinctions such as those between a higher (para) and lower (apara) brahman. Such distinctions, Rambachan argues, are inconsistent with the non-dual nature of brahman and are unnecessary when brahman's relationship with the world is correctly understood. Questioning Advaita's traditional emphasis on renunciation and world-denial, Rambachan expands the understanding of suffering (duhkha) and liberation (moksa) and addresses socioeconomic as well as gender and caste inequalities. Positing that the world is a celebrative expression of God's fullness, this book advances Advaita as a universal and uninhibited path to a liberated life committed to compassion, equality, and justice.

Brahman and Dao
Author: Ithamar Theodor
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739188143
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
The present geopolitical rise of India and China evokes much interest in the comparative study of these two ancient Asian cultures. There are various studies comparing Western and Indian philosophies and religions, and there are similar works comparing Chinese and Western philosophy and religion. However, so far there is no systemic comparative study of Chinese and Indian philosophies and religions. Therefore there is a need to fill this gap. As such, Brahman and Dao: Comparative Studies of Indian and Chinese Philosophy and Religion is a pioneering volume in that it highlights possible bridges between these two great cultures and complex systems of thought, with seventeen chapters on various Indo-Chinese comparative topics. The book focuses on four themes: metaphysics and soteriology; ethics; body, health and spirituality; and language and culture.

Category : Advaita
Languages : en

The Brahma-siddhi, 'The Demonstration of Brahman' is Mandana Misra's largest work, his most important and the sole one dedicated as a whole to Vedanta. The topics occurring in the doctrine of this work which the present author intends to study here in this book are inter-related; they all have to deal with the nature and functioning of error, whether every-day error or the transcendental error, avidya, which makes us see the multiplicity of phenomena where there is nothing but the utter oneness of brahman. Thet also demonstrate the number of different sources upon which Mandana depended in erecting his own system. In spite of the number and variety of these sources Mandana created a system, the closed coherence of whose parts is a cause of admiration, even if one does not always accept his conclusions.Two appendices are also added to give a glimpse of Mandana Misra's date and his order of works. An exhaustive bibliography has been provided to facilitate the curiosity of readers. An index of important words has also been given.
