Buddhist Answers: for the Critical Questions
Author: Yalith Wijesurendra
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1483688402
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The Buddhist Answers contains detailed answers for the critical philosophical questions asked about Buddhism. This book is a result of extreme hard work of the author, researching into the lengthy Tripitaka, the doctrine of Lord Buddha. This book intends to establish a rational basis to the Buddhist beliefs. Lord Buddha preached in Jnanasaara Samuccaya that, As the wise test gold by burning, cutting and rubbing it (on a piece of touchstone), so are you to accept my words after examining them and not merely out of regard to me. The author did his level best to avoid personal opinions but to provide coherent answers by directly referring to various discourses by Lord Buddha in Tripitaka. This book can play a vital role in the international propagation of Buddhism. Buddhist missionaries can use this book as a handbook to answer the various philosophical questions which they encounter.

Resolution of Doubts: Answers to the inquiry

ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
In order to free society from the clutches of misleading religion rituals, Swamiji compiled a book - ‘Shanka Samadhan’ (Doubts and clarifications). In this book, Swamiji has resolved the prevailing pretentious rituals by giving references of the discourses of the great saints and sages as well as citing the dictates of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana and the Purana on topics such as Who should be Worshiped, Religious Rituals (Karmkand), Havan, Yagya (Sacrificial Action), Celibacy, Gayatri, Yuga Dharma, Non-violence (Ahimsa), Sin and Righteousness, Santana Dharma, Varna (Caste System and its Classification), Vipra, Arya, Protection of Cows (Gau Raksha) etc. Essence of Sciences: - In the whole of the Universe, there is only one Religion (Dharma) – attainment of the immortal principle, peace forever, unbound happiness and it all begins with the faith in the Almighty. - Truth is the only Almighty. That what refutes this Truth cannot be called a religion (dharma). If the religion (dharma) does not have this truth then it will become meaningless. - Any body who has the unfaltering faith in the Almighty and recognises Ram or Om as the sign of the same thus chants the name is purely religious even if he does not know what the religion (dharma) is. - That what is forever, un-transformable, ancient, is the religion (dharma) and that what is there today but will not be there tomorrow, destructible is not religion. - There is a single Religion (Dharma) in the Universe. The strife to seek that forever being Almighty is the Religion (Dharma). If there are two almighties then He will need another Universe – to fulfil the same.

Sanatana Dharma and Plantation Hinduism (Second Edition Volume 2)
Author: Ramesh Gampat
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796078573
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Christian Missionaries worked hard to convert immigrants. Their first order of business was to denigrate Hinduism, designate Hindus as heathen, and disparage their culture, food and even attire. Immigrants stubbornly resisted, led by the tiny educated elite, including Brhmaas whom we call Brahmins. Conversion was a failure at least up to the end of the 19th century but picked up a self-generating momentum thereafter. The result is that the share of Hindus in Guyana’s Indian population declined from 83.5 percent in 1880 to 62.8 percent in 2012. The largest portion of the contraction was lost to Christianity. The loss notwithstanding, even a casual observer would conclude that Guyanese Hindus, at home and in the Diaspora, are a very religious people. Many of us do a jhandi or havan once annually; others do the more elaborate and costlier yajña, where everyone is welcome, once or twice in their lifetime. Most of us do a short daily puja – prayers, offerings, reading the stras and listening to bhajan – in our homes. An important, but perhaps unintended, way immigrants countered conversion to Christianity was an unplanned movement towards a “synthesis” that brought Hindus, regardless of caste or sect, under a “unitary form of Hinduism.” The “synthesis” began around the 1870s and was completed by the 1930s to the 1950s. Guyanese Hindus call the unified corpus of religious beliefs and practices that emerged from the “synthesis” Sanatana Dharma. Ramesh Gampat labels it Plantation Hinduism in this path-breaking book. The book argues that the brand of Hinduism practiced is inconsistent with Sanatana Dharma, called Vednta by the more philosophically inclined. Plantation Hinduism features an extraordinary dependence upon purohits (pandits), which has anaesthetized the Hindu mind and render him unable to think, question and inquire when it comes to Dharma. Rituals and bhakti have been degraded and turned into desire-motivated worship; devats have been misconstrued as Brahman rather than as limited manifestation of the one non-dual pure Consciousness; belief in the multiplicity of gods encourages image worship; and superstitions anchor Guyanese Hindus to tradition and mere belief. Plantation Hinduism is little more than desire-motivated actions, dogmas and superstitions. Absent is the idea that Sanatana Dharma is a spiritual science no less scientific than hard sciences, such as physics and astronomy. The central message of Vednta is the innate divinity of every person and the freedom to realize that divinity through anubhava, direct personal experience of Supreme Reality.

The Message of the Upanishads
Author: Swami Ranganathananda
Publisher: Advaita Ashrama (A Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)
ISBN: 817505932X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 787
Book Description
The Message of the Upanishads is a study, verse by verse, of three of the principal Upanishads, namely, Isha, Kena and Katha, in the light of modern thought and modern needs. Though constituting a small portion of the total Upanishadic literature, they yet contain a lucid exposition of all the essential ideas of this immortal literature. The spiritual insights of the Upanishads are an exception to the tyranny of time. Subsequent scientific advances have not only affected their truth-value but have, on the contrary, only helped to reveal the rational basis of their insights and enhanced their spiritual appeal. This is no wonder, because these insights are the products of an equally scientific investigation into a different field of experience, namely, the world of man’s inner life. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math.

John’s Gospel
Author: Hermann Beckh
Publisher: Temple Lodge Publishing
ISBN: 191223081X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
That there is a living stream of Johannine Christianity can no longer be doubted. There is now an abundant literature from Rosicrucian and esoteric traditions – from the deepest prayer and meditation – that addresses the exalted nature of John the Evangelist as expressed through his Gospel, Letters and the Book of Revelation. Yet it fell to Hermann Beckh to elucidate clearly how the individual known as ‘John’ became the source of such undying love and wisdom in Christ. According to Rudolf Steiner, John was the ailing Lazarus, called from death to a new life as ‘the disciple Jesus loved’. Beckh demonstrates how John’s invaluable writings were based on personal spiritual knowledge and experience, expressing the divine work of the Cosmic Christ on human nature and on the Earth, leading far into the future. Whilst Beckh’s authorship originated within the context of the emerging Christian Community founded in 1922, his profoundly original books could not be confined to its framework. Not only could Beckh tackle original texts in Tibetan, Sanskrit and Avestan, but – through his independent vision – he was able to establish new links with philosophical Alchemy, Jakob Böhme, Goethe, Nietzsche and Novalis. He thereby stands with these figures as a co-worker in a greater community. Having prepared the way with his Mark’s Gospel of 1928, John’s Gospel could be described as the capstone of Beckh’s writings – as a triumphant announcement that theology and the study of John’s Gospel have finally come of age. Appearing here in a freshly revised translation by Alan Stott, the current volume is enhanced by a series of valuable addenda that shed further light on Beckh’s significant achievements.

This book, first published in 1962, is an analysis of the history of the philosophy of a country that has never distinguished philosophy from religion.
