Mitra-Varuna
Author: Georges Dumézil
Publisher: HAU Books
ISBN: 1912808978
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Georges Dumézil’s fascination with the myths and histories of India, Rome, Scandinavia, and the Celts yielded an idea that became his most influential scholarly legacy: the tripartite hypothesis, which divides Indo-European societal functions into three classes: the sacred sovereign, the warrior, and the producer. Mitra-Varuna, originally published in 1940, concentrates on the first function, that of sovereignty. Dumézil identifies two types of rulers, the first judicial and worldly, the second divine and supernatural. These figures, both priestly, are oppositional but complementary. The title nods to these roles, referring to the gods Mitra, a rational mediator, and Varuna, an awesome religious figure. Stuart Elden’s critical edition, based on the 1988 English translation by Derek Coltman, identifies variations between the first and second French editions and completes—and in places corrects—Dumézil’s references. The editor’s detailed introduction situates Mitra-Varuna within Dumézil’s career, outlines how his treatment of its themes developed over time, and relates the book to the political controversy around his ideas. Two new appendices contain passages that did not appear in the second French edition.

Varuna-Vayu
Author: Dr. A. S. Venugopal Rao
Publisher: Bharatha Samskruthi Prakashana
ISBN: 9389028094
Category : Electronic books
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Varuna is the god of Divyaloka, the lord of days and nights and is kind and considerate. He is the creator of the earth, the sky and of the laws of Nature. Surya is his eye and air is his breath. It is Varuna who has placed Surya, Agni and Soma in their positions. With time, Varuna’s unchallenged position changed as Devendra became the chief of Gods. However, he remained the same – compassionate and benevolent. Varuna is sage Kashyapa’s son and his son is sage Bhrigu. He is one of the ashtadikpalakas, being the Lord of the west. He was one of the Gods who vouched for Sita’s fidelity. Once he violated the tenets of dharma when he kidnapped Bhadra, Soma’s daughter, Sage Atri’s grand daughter and Uthathya’s wife. With the power of his tapas, Uthathya drained the waters of seas and oceans. Varuna got scared , restored Bhadra to him and begged his pardon. Vayu is one of the panchabhootas, the cause of daily yajnas. As he has five forms, he’s called Panchapraana. He has two basic qualities – sound and sense of feel. As long as he dwells in our body, we live. In the Chandogya Upanishad, we are told how Vayu is crucial for the survival of all the organs of the body. Vayudeva’s pride took a test at the hands of a yaksha when the former couldn’t lift a blade of grass. Anjaneya and Bhima were born of his blessings. The entire sky is his living place and he is the soul of the Devas. He preached dharma and was successful in correcting Karthaveeryarjuna. Along with Indra and Varuna, he also convinced Rama of Sita’s fidelity. Our other books here can be searched using #BharathaSamskruthiPrakashana

Vaastu: The Art And Science Of Living
Author: Ashwini Kumar
Publisher: Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd
ISBN: 9788120725690
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Vaastu Shaastra is the art and science of living a happy and contented long life. In the modern-day world of high-speed technology, many diseases are arising out of faulty lifestyles. Classical principles of Vaastu Shaastra describe the ancient way of living which need modifications in the present-day context. This book is an intelligent amalgamation of the ancient practice of Vaastu living and modern technologies of house building and architecture. It offers an introduction to Vaastu Shaastra, systematising and standardising its techniques and methodologies. The book has been divided into three sections. The first section has been devoted to the understanding of the key concepts, principles and forces of Vaastu that exert an influence on any given space. The second section of the book reveals how to create heaven on earth; right in your home. It shows how we can achieve internal peace by first achieving external peace in the house. The third section is related to the day-to-day use of Vaastu. One chapter has been devoted to Vaastu of workplace which, in many aspects, is different from residential Vaastu. This book has been written according to the established principles of Vedic Astrology; an inevitable part of Vaastu Shaastra. The effect of the nine planets is considered in Astrology while mainly the effect of planet earth is taken in Vaastu. Astrology depends on dashas (Planetary Periods) while Vaastu depends on dishas (Directions), Jyotish assumes the existence of Kaal Purush (Time Personified) while Vaastu assumes the existence of Vaastu Purush (Space Personified). The book incorporates current knowledge of building science to explain the ancient wisdom of Vaastu Shaastra only to bridge the gap between ancient traditions and modern way of thinking. No attempt has been made to transgress into the other parallel systems known as Feng Shui and Pyramidology, which require totally separate study. The work is meant primarily for those who want to learn Vaastu from the very beginning and pursue it seriously in a scientific manner. The book will also serve as a stepping-stone for those who intend to indulge in hitherto unexplored areas of Vaastu Shaastra like suitability of certain directions for certain activities, hidden meanings of Vaastu Purush; forty-five demi gods; ten dikpalas; three energies and Panchmahabhootas, predicting the fate of a house and its inhabitants through Vaastu kala, etc.
