Nine mantras for meditation are also included to help readers along their spiritual path.

"The Universe is not a dead thing - it is alive, pulsating with life, energy and intelligence. It is a living thing, and YOU are part of it all. You are not The Absolute, but you are an atom comprising one of its rays - its life force is playing through you. You are in touch with the Centre, and the Centre is conscious of YOU and of its relation to you."

Great Rulers of India : Five Illustrated Classics - Hardcover
Only 1 left in stockCollection of the following titles: Krishnadeva Raya, Ashoka, Chandragupta Maurya, Samudra Gupta, Harsha
In this Pancharatna volume, we have included Chandragupta Maurya, the founder of the Maurya dynasty, and Ashoka, his grandson, who at the zenith of his conquests saw the futility of violence and had the courage to renounce it. Of Ashoka, H. G. Wells writes in his book, 'Short History of the World,' 'Such was Ashoka, the greatest of Kings. He was far in advance of his age.' The Gupta age is considered to be the golden age of India. To Samudra Gupta goes the credit of spreading the Gupta empire. The Fourth book in this volume is on the life of Emperor Harsha, who is remembered till this day as a great ruler, not only because he was a brave military leader, but also because he was a man of noble impulses. This is based on Harshacharita by Banabatta and the account given by the Chinese traveler, Hiuen-Tsang. The fifth book is on the life of Krishnadeva Raya, the greatest emperor of Vijayanagara. Domingo's Paes, the Portuguese traveler, described the capital city as 'the best provided city in the world'. Of Krishnadeva Raya, he wrote, 'He is the most perfect king that would be, cheerful of disposition and very merry.'

The Great Reformers and Religious Teachers of India - Paperback USED Like New
Only 1 left in stockMost religious movements in India have come about as a reaction to meaningless traditions and stifling rituals that are the inevitable result when a prescribed way of life as set down by a great thinker is left to be carried on by his followers, who have the faith but seldom the brilliance or intellect to take the movement to its logical conclusion. As they say, a convert is always more fanatic than the prophet himself. So it was in India too. When Hinduism go entangled in rituals sand ceremonies that were the purview of only a chosen few, we saw Gautama Buddha propound the much simpler Buddhism and, soon after, Vardhamana Mahavira lay forth the so much easier to understand principles of Jainism. But after these two great men died, these two religious movements got shrouded in meaningless ritual and decadence. The common man no longer felt at ease with them, which is why he turned with relief to the teachings of Sri Sankaracharya and Ramanuja. Similarly, when the tyrannies of the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, were at their height, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, showed Hindus a way to maintain their self-respect and fight back against the atrocities inflicted upon them. Religion has always been an integral part of daily life in India. The Great Reformers and Religious Teachers of India looks at the men who shaped the various religious of India, and helped to give ordinary men and women deep insights into the fathomless mystery that is life.

The Ramayana : A Shortened Modern Prose Version by R. K. Narayan - Paperback Penguin Classics
The greatest Indian epic, one of the world's supreme masterpieces of storytelling
A sweeping tale of abduction, battle, and courtship played out in a universe of deities and demons, The Ramayana is familiar to virtually every Indian. Although the Sanskrit original was composed by Valmiki around the fourth century BC, poets have produced countless versions in different languages. Here, drawing on the work of an eleventh-century poet called Kamban, Narayan employs the skills of a master novelist to re-create the excitement he found in the original. A luminous saga made accessible to new generations of readers, The Ramayana can be enjoyed for its spiritual wisdom, or as a thrilling tale of ancient conflict.

Seven States of Consciousness : The Teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi by Anthony Campbell - Mass Market Paperback USED
Only 1 left in stockTranscendental meditation is a simple, natural technique for the progressive refinement of the nervous system through the regular alternation of deep rest and activity. It is not a religion, a philosophy, or a way o life, though it has relevance to all of these.
Transcendental meditation is complete in itself. Being entirely practical, it does not depend upon belief or acceptance of theories: all that is needed for successful practice is a simple willingness to experiment.
Basing his book on the work done by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the author discuses such topics as finding the right question, pure awareness, practical applications, cosmic consciousness, ethics and free will, the Absolute, the seven states of consciousness, creativity, enlightenment, and desire. He believes, "Maharishi's teaching offers us the possibility of achieving something which to many people today seems an utter impossibility: I mean a restoration of a lost wholeness in our view of ourselves and the world."

The Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi - Paperback Hindu Scriptures
Only 1 left in stockThe Bhagavad Gita, also called The Song of the Lord, is a 700-line section of a much longer Sanskrit war epic, the Mahabharata, about the legendary conflict between two branches of an Indian ruling family. Framed as a conversation between Krishna, an incarnation of the god Vishnu, and a general of one of the armies, the Gita is written in powerful poetic language meant to be chanted. Equally treasured as a guide to action, a devotional scripture, a philosophical text, and inspirational reading, it remains one of the world’s most influential, widely read spiritual books.
The Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi is based on talks given by Gandhi between February and November 1926 at the Satyagraha Ashram in Ahmedabad, India. During this time—a period when Gandhi had withdrawn from mass political activity—he devoted much of his time and energy to translating the Gita from Sanskrit into his native Gujarati. As a result, he met with his followers almost daily, after morning prayer sessions, to discuss the Gita’s contents and meaning as it unfolded before him. This book is the transcription of those daily sessions.
