Book Description
Our scriptures define Maya in many words and stories, using parables and analogies. This world is just an appearance. It is a seeming projection. Even though most of us have heard it and commonly use the word MAYA, we do not really know what it is and thus overcoming it is out of the question. This book attempts to throw light on this subtle reality in carefully chosen words that are easily understood, and perhaps point a way for the serious seeker who is struggling to escape its clutches. What is Maya??? 1. It is neither Truth 2. Nor is it unTruth 3. And it is neither both Ponder...ponder…ponder… Let us read between the lines to arrive at: 1. Maya is not Truth – replace Truth with its synonym Existence. This sentence becomes Maya <> Truth Maya <> Existence

Book Description
Adventure Adventure is in our genes. To express it is the soul’s call, the heart’s need, and the only way to satisfy the intellect. Take out time for it when you are young. Do not let this life pass by without one. Applause Applause kindles the life within, and when it comes from the Master, it grants a success that cannot be erased nor side-lined. When once you can please him, know that he has taken your responsibility, and your life will never be the same again. Blossoms Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Flowers still the racing mind; their fresh fragrance can awaken the Divine. Make a habit to plant a sapling and watch it blossom to the fullness of Life. That in turn shall nurture your own Beauty. Birth Birth is an event that cannot be remembered, yet it is the most important event in one’s life. Once in a while remember your birth and honor your family, the nurses and other people involved and your birthplace.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
A friend once asked me to say something. I told him that Light and Absence of Light are construed as desirable or undesirable depending on one’s current state. Both are powered by the same Brahman, both are willed by Him alone. Such words are galore in the scriptures and soften the heart. However the scriptures also go on to say that troubled times are the result of one’s own making, faulty living, and being a willing slave to the shad vikaras. This is what I couldn’t tell him. However know that we all have 400 years of life, then we merge into Brahman and become one with the Divine. At the end of 400 years it doesn’t matter how we played our role, if we were good actors or if we were plain dumb. Hope a few can tune the thoughts expounded here and make them theirs, not in thought but in action. These are from a life well-lived, graciously shared, and richly blessed. In fact it is the story of most humans. The story of a sojourn to planet earth. Om Svasti

Bhagavad Gita Applied Wisdom
Author: Ashwini Kumar Aggarwal
Publisher: Devotees of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ashram
ISBN: 9353001188
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
Each of the 700 verses of the Gita is capable of delivering, of winning, of giving the direct and full answer. Just as a smartphone has tons of apps, all different, all unique yet wholly complete by themselves. Just as a wardrobe has so many clothes and shoes, all different, yet each befitting. Just as you have facebook friends and contacts, each unique yet capable. Just as Guruji answers someone's query in Satsang. It is a specific question. It is a specific answer. Yet it weaves its magic on all. Satisfies many. Each of Sri Sri’s answers "as if" meant for one enlightens one and all. So it is with the Gita. The verses are weaved together by a magician. They are placed by a divine hand. The verses are interspersed and knitted and dyed and woven. Are made up of cottons and silks, nylons and polyester, wool and acrylic, and every yarn under the sun. The weaving is so deft, smooth, and soft, so cozy, nice and comfortable; that one may miss the hues shades nuances emotions events and truths. But one cannot miss the impact! So one may ask; Who is the Gita for? Who benefits? How benefits? The Bhagavad Gita is spoken by the Lord. Who doth the Lord address? The entire creation of course. He addresses every single man woman and child. He addresses every single plant herb and tree. Every piece of matter animate or inanimate. Every ray of energy, no matter whether it is in the visible spectrum or beyond. The Gita is about Life. It is about Dinacharya. About Ritucharya. About what to do when. How to live, how to LOVE. How to be well. How to plan and how to act. What to think and what to speak. About what qualities to nourish. What goals to achieve. About how to meet deadlines and targets. It applies not only to mankind. It also applies to machines and electronics. It applies also to the Natural Laws and to the life-forms we know and do not know. It is a complete textbook. A finely detailed user manual to strengthen one's MIND. Nourish the SOUL. And of course the Gita doth Flex the BODY. The Bhagavad Gita is a FRIEND. सर्वधर्मान् परित्यज्य , माम् एकं शरणं व्रज । अहं त्वा सर्वपापेभ्यः , मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥ १८.६६ sarvadharmān parityajya , mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja । ahaṁ tvā sarvapāpebhyaḥ , mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ ॥ 18.66 18.66 Do not dither, be not scattered nor fickle; collect your wits and pull yourself together, and come straight and sure to the divine. To the sacred and pure in your vicinity. To the saint in your village. Pour your heart out; surely help is yours, guidance is yours, support is yours and victory is yours. Original Verses in Sanskrit split at each quarter for chanting aloud. With a Latin Transliteration of each verse in English. And the Gist in English using contemporary aims, desires, language and style.
