Adi Shankara: The Jagad Guru by Shantha N. Nair Pdf

'Adi Shankara- the Jagadguru' gives a brief account of the life, works and philosophy of Adi Shankara, a remarkable genius and a spiritual giant who lived more than 2000 years ago and whose impact the world feels even today in resurrecting the lost glory of the real Vedic path and Vedic Dharma of ancient India. The intention of the author in writing this book is to give a taste of the great ancient thinking, and also to give a glimpse of the wonderful exponent of Advaita Vedanta to those who have no knowledge about him who was a great bhakta, a real Karma Yogi and a practical philosopher all rolled in one and about whom our country should really feel proud of. It is an effort to induce the readers to go deep into the subject after reading this book that at best gives only an outline of the Advaita Vedanta, which is the most popular philosophy applicable to the modern rational mind. It is hoped that this book will help in elevating the mind of one and all alike and pave the way for a happy and peaceful family, society, nation and the world with alive and let live attitude.

Adi Shankaracharya by Pavan K. Varma Pdf

What is Brahman? What is its relationship to Atman? What is an individual's place in the cosmos? Is a personalised god and ritualistic worship the only path to attain moksha? Does caste matter when a human is engaging with the metaphysical world? The answers to these perennial questions sparkle with clarity in this seminal account of a man, and a saint, who revived Hinduism and gave to Upanishadic insights a rigorously structured and sublimely appealing philosophy. Jagad Guru Adi Shankaracharya (788-820 CE) was born in Kerala and died in Kedarnath, traversing the length of India in his search for the ultimate truth. In a short life of thirty-two years, Shankaracharya not only revived Hinduism, but also created the organisational structure for its perpetuation through the mathas he established in Sringeri, Dwaraka, Puri, and Joshimatha. Adi Shankaracharaya: Hinduism's Greatest Thinker is a meticulously researched and comprehensive account of his life and philosophy. Highly readable, and including a select anthology of Shankaracharya's seminal writing, the book also examines the startling endorsement that contemporary science is giving to his ideas today. A must-read for people across the ideological spectrum, this book reminds readers about the remarkable philosophical underpinning of Hinduism, making it one of the most vibrant religions in the world.

Jagadguru Shri Shankaracharya by Deendayal Upadhyaya Pdf

About the book हमारे राष्ट्र निर्माताओं में जगद्गुरु श्री शंकराचार्य का स्थान बहुत ऊँचा है। कई विद्वानों ने तो उन्हें आधुनिक हिंदू धर्म का जनक ही कहा है। शंकराचार्य ने समस्त हिंदू-राष्ट्र को एक सूत्र में पिरोने एवं उसे संगठित करने का प्रयास किया। देश के चारों कोनों पर चार धामों के प्रति श्रद्धा केंद्रित करते हुए उन्होंने संपूर्ण भारतवर्ष की, मातृ-भू की मूर्ति जन-जन के हृदय पर अंकित कर दी। पंचायतन का पूजन प्रारंभ कर विभिन्न संप्रदायों को एक-दूसरे के आराध्य देवों के प्रति केवल सहिष्णुता का भाव ही नहीं तो सभी देवताओं के प्रति अपने इष्टदेव के माध्यम से वही श्रद्धा एवं आदर का भाव व्यक्त करने को प्रेरित किया, इसके अनुसार प्रत्येक पाँचों देवताओं—विष्णु, शुक्र, शक्ति, गणपति और सूर्य की पूजा करता है। अपनी श्रद्धा के अनुसार अपने इष्टदेव को बीच में तथा चारों ओर अन्य चार देवताओं को रखकर पूजन करने की उसे छूट है। चार धामों के समान ही उन्होंने समाज को धर्म मार्ग पर नियंत्रित एवं अनुशासित रखने के लिए चार शंकराचार्यों की अध्यक्षता में भारत के चारों कोनों में चार मठ स्थापित किए। —दीनदयाल उपाध्याय.

AJAYA - RISE OF KALI (Book 2) by Anand Neelakantan Pdf

"THE MAHABHARATA ENDURES AS THE GREAT EPIC OF INDIA. While Jaya is the story of the Pandavas, told from the perspective of the victors of Kurukshetra, Ajaya is the tale of the Kauravas, who were decimated to the last man. From the pen of the author who gave voice to Ravana in the national bestseller, ASURA, comes the riveting narrative which compels us to question the truth behind the Mahabharata. THE DARK AGE OF KALI IS RISING and every man and woman must choose between duty and conscience, honour and shame, life and death… o The Pandavas, banished to the forest following the disastrous games of dice, return to Hastinapura. o Draupadi has vowed not to bind her hair till she washes it in the blood of the Kauravas. o Karna must choose between loyalty and gratitude, friend and Guru. o Aswathama undertakes a perilous mission to the mountains of Gandhara, in search of the Evil One. o Kunti must decide between her firstborn and her other sons. o Guru Drona has to stand with either his favourite disciple or his beloved son. o Balarama, having failed to convince his brother about the adharma of violence, walks the streets of Bharatavarsha, spreading the message of peace. o Ekalavya is called to make the ultimate sacrifice to uphold a woman’s honour. o Jara, the beggar, sings of Krishna’s love while his blind dog, Dharma, follows. o Shakuni can almost see the realization of his dream to destroy India. As the Pandavas stake their claim to the Hastinapura throne, the Kaurava Crown Prince, Suyodhana, rises to challenge Krishna. As great minds debate dharma and adharma, power hungry men prepare for an apocalyptic war. The women, highborn and humble, helplessly watch the unfolding disaster with deep foreboding. And greedy merchants and unscrupulous priests lie in wait like vultures. Both sides know that beyond the agony and carnage the winner will take all. But even as gods conspire and men’s destinies unfold, a far greater truth awaits. ***** One of the six most remarkable writers of India. DNA An Amazing read. The WEEK Unique voice of a rebellious author telling the story from the other side, a feat a few have dared or managed so well. Bihar Times"

Bhagavad Gita by Swami Gambhirananda Pdf

The commentary of Shankara on the Gita is regarded as an outstanding specimen of Indian scholarship. The translator has accomplished his task in a most praiseworthy manner by giving a faithful translation, without in any way detracting from the strength or clarity of the original commentary. The inclusion of a ‘word index’ of the entire text has added to the worth of the book.

Soul, Body, and Gender in Late Antiquity by Stanimir Panayotov,Andra Jugănaru,Anastasia Theologou,István Perczel Pdf

Including both traditional and underrepresented accounts and geographies of soul, body, gender, and sexuality in late antique history, philosophy, and theology, this volume offers substantial re-readings of these and related concepts through theories of dis/embodiment. Bringing together gender studies, late antique philosophy, patristics, history of asceticism, and history of Indian philosophy, this interdisciplinary volume examines the notions of dis/embodiment and im/materiality in late antique and early Christian culture and thought. The book’s geographical scope extends beyond the ancient Mediterranean, providing comparative perspectives from Late Antiquity in the Near East and South Asia. It offers critical interpretations of late antique scholarly objects of inquiry, exploring close readings of soul, body, gender, and sexuality in their historical context. These fascinating studies engage scholars from different fields and research traditions with one another, and reveal both change and continuity in the perception and social role of gender, sexuality, body, and soul in this period. Soul, Body, and Gender in Late Antiquity is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Classics, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, as well as those working on late antique and early Christian history, philosophy, and theology.

Shankar Sanyas by Janardan Rai Nagar Pdf

‘‘जगद्गुरू शंकराचार्य’’ शंकर के जीवन वृत्त को आधार बनाकर लिखा गया पण्डित जनार्दन राय नागर के इस उपन्यास का नाम ‘‘शंकर-सन्यास’’ है। बाल्यावस्था से ही अपने चमत्कारों के कारण शंकर जन चर्चाओं का केन्द्र बिन्दु बना। अलवई नदी में स्नान करते समय शंकर का पांव मकर की दाढ़ों में जा फंसा और आसन्न मृत्यु के साक्षात्कार से शंकर की विकलता ने मां विशिष्टा के मन को विचलित कर दिया। ‘‘त्रिवांकुर मण्डल के स्वामी राजशेखर के अनुरोध से शंकर को सन्यास की अनुमति न देने के लिए विशिष्टा का अटल निश्चय डगमगाया। परिस्थिति की गम्भीरता के आवेश में विशिष्टा ने अपने पुत्र शंकर को सन्यास के लिए अन्ततः स्वीकृति दे ही दी।’’ ‘चिदानन्द रूपम् शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम्’ का मन्त्र जाप करते हुए सन्यासी रूप में शंकर गुरू गोविन्दपाद से दीक्षा प्राप्त करने के लिए नर्मदा नदी पर स्थित उनके आश्रम की ओर चल पड़े। इसके आगे का वृत्तान्त ‘शंकर-दीक्षा’ नामक उपन्यास में दिया गया है?
