Book Description
Sage Kashyapa was one of the saptharishis who had attained Brahmajnana. He was the creator of all the Devas by virtue of one of his wives being Adithi who was the mother of all Devas. Surya, Indra and Vamanamurthy were his sons. He co-operated with Brahma in creating the world, took charge of the governance of the planet and saved it from destructive forces. Whenever dharma was in danger , he used his power to protect and establish it. Kashyapa was the son of Kaladevi and Marichi. DakshaBrahma got sixty daughters for the purpose of procreation and Kashyapa married thirteen of them. So, all living beings we find on earth are fathered by Kashyapa. Once, one of the sage’s wives, Dithi, got jealous of Adithi and asked the sage to grant her motherhood. The sage was meditating and asked her to wait. She wouldn’t and so he just said that she would bear two wicked sons but one of them would have a son who would be the Lord’s devotee. Vamanamurthy was born as Adithi and the sage’s son in order to teach a lesson to the daithyas who had started ruling over the Devas. We also have the story of how Garuda and Aruna became Kashyapa’s sons. Kashyapa was about to curse Khadru on knowing that she had tried to cheat Vinatha, Garuda’s mother. The sage stopped Mother Earth from descending to the nether world. He was an expert in dharmashastra. He got the opportunity to preach to Prahlada the nuances of righteous conduct. Kashyapa and Adithi were born as Kausalya and Dasharatha, then as Devaki and Vasudeva. During the Mahabharata war, Kashyapa was foremost among the sages to dissuade Drona from the thoughtless killing and violence. Kashyapa believed in the universal principle – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, and his motto was – Sarve Janah Sukhino Bhavanthu. Our other books here can be searched using #BharathaSamskruthiPrakashana

The Mahabharata
Author:
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 8184753888
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
The Mahabharata is one of the greatest stories ever told. Though the basic plot is widely known, there is much more to the epic than the dispute between the Kouravas and Pandavas that led to the battle in Kurukshetra. It has innumerable sub-plots that accommodate fascinating meanderings and digressions, and it has rarely been translated in full, given its formidable length of 80,000 shlokas or couplets. This magnificent 10- volume unabridged translation of the epic is based on the Critical Edition compiled at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. Volume 1 consists of most of Adi Parva, in which much happens before the Kouravas and the Pandavas actually arrive on the scene. This volume covers the origins of the Kuru clan; the stories of Poushya, Poulama and Astika; the births of the Kouravas and the Pandavas; the house of lac; the slaying of Hidimba and Baka; Droupadi’s marriage; and ends with the Pandavas obtaining their share of the kingdom. Every conceivable human emotion figures in the Mahabharata, the reason why the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination. In this lucid, nuanced and confident translation, Bibek Debroy makes the Mahabharata marvellouly accessible to contemporary readers.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 2623
Book Description
A translation of the complete Rig Veda into English with a state-of-the-art search and discovery capability. This is the first Digital Book that aims to answer the question - "What is in the Rig Veda and where do I find it?" The Vedic heritage, and the Rig Veda in particular, is the foundation of Hinduism. Yoga, Dharma, Spirituality and so much of what defines Indian thought and culture today, derive from it. It was composed by famous Rishis who are household names, and yet, for many of us, its contents still remain a mystery. This book hopes to make the Rig Veda a little more accessible. Horace Hayman Wilson wrote the first translation of the Rig Veda into English. His work is notable because it consciously tries to be true to the ancient sources. It is an important work of scholarship that this ebook hopes to preserve and extend. This is the first Digital version of Wilson's work. It converts all the six volumes into a single, easy to carry ebook. It then embeds a state of the art search capability using AI and NLP. It extends this with Serendipity, to help us discover what maybe relevant even when we are not sure what to look for. This work aims to be your reference of choice when you are looking for something in the Rig Veda. It also includes an Introduction where you can find some important Suktas and references, Rishi families and their compositions, elements of Vedic tradition like Danastutis and Apri Suktas, and much more.

ISBN: 1351592254
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This book examines culture, religion and polity in the context of Buddhism.
