Nectar of Non-Dual Truth (and its dedicated staff) are both delighted and privileged to bring our revered readership a further offering of Nonduality and Universalism in the noble spirit of interreligious unity and harmony.

Footfalls of the Indian Rishis - Volume II
Author: Babaji Bob Kindler
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
The Holy Feet of Illumined Souls on Earth "From dreams awake, from bonds be free. Know the Truth! Thou art He; thou art She." The Rishis of India, knowers of Truth, in seeking the ultimate welfare and highest good for all of humanity throughout the ages, pioneered an unprecedented myriad of religious and philosophical systems. These availed the aspiring soul of a copious network of wisdom pathways, opening inwards to the Light of Nondual Reality. Veda, Tantra, Sankhya. Nyaya. Vaishesika, Purva Mimamsa, Vedanta, Yoga, Buddhism, Patanjala (Yoga), Sikhism, Jainism, Vaishnavism. Shaivism, Shaktism. Sourism, Ganapatya — the list goes on and on. This reveals a universal vision the likes of which was never before seen in any country or conceived of by any other race of human beings. Here is not only one holy book, or merely one divine incarnation, or just a single prophet, but dozens to hundreds of each, all supported, maintained, and lovingly transmitted by countless luminaries stretching back millennia B.C.E. India therefore stands as an exceptional example before the eyes of the world. The main principle which makes her so is realization of and adherence to Truth, as demonstrated and elucidated upon in this book. It is founded upon the natural acceptance of the presence of God as Existence Itself. This Truth was tempered on earth over millennia in the fires of spiritual practice, infusing Vedic philosophy and religion with many important keys concerning the attainment of direct spiritual experience. The subtitle of this book, "Charting the Timeless Wisdom of Mother India," proves itself through 299 charts, all created to transmit the depth and breadth of India's dharmic teachings, and replete with thorough and in-depth commentaries.

The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda - Volume 4
Author: Swami Vivekananda
Publisher: Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)
ISBN: 817505865X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, this is Volume 4 of the nine volume series constituting 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda'. In these volumes we have not only a gospel to the world at large, but also, to its own children, the Charter of the Hindu faith. For the first time in history, Hinduism itself forms here the subject of generalization of a Hindu mind of the highest order. What Hinduism had needed was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea, a rock where she could lie at anchor, and an authoritative utterance in which she might recognise herself. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both are found in the words and writings of Swami Vivekananda. It is the latest gospel of a modern Prophet of religion and spirituality to the mankind.

Inspired Talks
Author: Swami Vivekananda
Publisher: Sri Ramakrishna Math
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
This is a faithful record of a series of talks given by Swami Vivekananda to a group of his intimate friends and disciples who gathered around him at a quite out-of- the-way cottage in Thousand Island Park on the St. Lawrence river. These talks, not being regular lectures, were taken in long hand and safely preserved by a loving lady disciple, Miss S. E. Waldo. Those inspiring words were first brought out as a book in 1908 by Swami Ramakrishnananda to bring comfort and solace to all souls.The language is simple and concise, appealing straight to the heart and the intellect as well. Swami Vivekananda, known to many as a thundering orator and a convincing debator, is seen here like a peaceful Vedic rishi sitting in the midst of a few ardent souls, mildly disseminating the message of peace and bliss and uttering words of profoundest wisdom.Apart from an introductory narrative by Miss S. E. Waldo, this book also contains prefaces written by Swami Ramakrishnananda and Sister Devamata.
