Echoes of Ancient Indian Wisdom by Shantha N. Nair Pdf

The echoes of ancient Indian wisdom can be heard from the oldest of scriptures that existed many years ago. Even thousands of years before they were written down on palm leaves, the teachings were passed on from generations to generations, from the teachers to the disciples in their oral form. These works are amongst the oldest of humanity. They laid the foundation of one of the most tolerant and diverse religions in the world, the Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism, which is marked by a wide range of ethos and philosophical approaches. Covering the vastness and immensity of the ancient Indian scriptures is akin to capturing a gigantic ocean in a small pitcher. Thus, in this book, the author has tried to catch a few 'echoes' resonating with age-old wisdom and has presented them to the readers. the book unravels the knowledge hidden inside the Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads of the Shruti that form the Vedas, and in the Smriti like Agamas, Dharma Shastras and so on. In short, it provides a glimpse, or rather a macro view of the ancient treasure of India.

Eternal Echoes: A Journey Through Ancient Indian Wisdom by Vinay Rajagopal Iyer Pdf

In the timeless expanse of truth, eternal and boundless, lies a wisdom that transcends human grasp. Its divine origin eludes even the most brilliant minds, floating far above our earthly realm, beyond the tumultuous skies where thunder and lightning are born, and even farther than the cosmic sea where celestial bodies dance in the vast ether. This truth, originating from the Infinite, the Unmanifest, the Great Silence, is where all creation stirs, and all harmony breathes. It is from this profound depth that Truth takes its pure and unblemished form. While the entirety of this wisdom is beyond human perception, the aspiring soul catches glimpses of its glory, like fleeting sparks of perfection. Those who are attuned to this cosmic source receive inspirations, divine insights that shed light on the shadows of our mortal existence. Throughout history, such enlightened souls have illuminated the world with their wisdom. Their divine messages, transcending time and space, have been gathered in sacred texts across civilizations – be it the Vedas, Upanishads, the Quran, or the Bible. No single culture or sage holds exclusive rights to this universal wisdom. The Eternal Source is a fountain with innumerable streams, and even if these were all merged, the vast reservoir of Divine Truth would remain largely untapped. As humanity evolves, shedding materialistic tendencies and embracing spiritual illumination, the soul's thirst for higher truth grows. Such earnest yearnings are always answered. Pure-hearted messengers, shaped by life's trials and tribulations, are chosen to convey these profound truths to mankind.

ANCIENT INDIAN WISDOM / Spiritual Heritage by P.Sethuraman Pdf

The ancient Indian wisdom was the product of natural development of human instinct. Names of God did not matter, variations in spiritual practices did not count, social differences are of no avail, and the methods of worship followed might be different, only the common religious ideal remained. These made the people of ancient India, accept toleration and absorption as fundamental to their wisdom. The ideal is all embracing and non-antagonistic. This led to free religious thought and the foundations of different philosophic system. In addition to the basic eternal religion of the country, the birth of several indigenous religions, like Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc., and the respectful place offered to foreign religion like Christianity, Islam etc., in this country and the value they attached to different religions are by itself the proof for tolerance of the Vedic people. Vedic religion is the mother of all religions, which had taught and continued to teach, the world, tolerance and universal acceptance.

At Home in the Universe by Rudolf Steiner Pdf

5 lectures at The Hague, November 13-18, 1923 (CW 231) What is our relationship to the planets we see in the night sky? Does the cosmos have any affect on our individual lives? Modern science tells us that we are an insignificant accident in a vast, indifferent universe. Rudolf Steiner maintains that we are intimately enmeshed with the whole cosmos, right down to the very structure of our physical bodies. In these talks, Steiner explores our relationship as individuals to the spiritual cosmos--where we will all become cosmonauts one day. The key to being at home in the universe is to comprehend the significance of our individual, physical lives on Earth and what happens when we leave our physical bodies behind. Steiner describes his view of our journey after death and our subsequent return to Earth and a new life. He describes the "planetary" spheres through which we pass and how they affect our future life. He shows us how our character and actions on Earth affects us after we die, and how those experiences in turn shape our next physical life. This is not just more information to add to our already overloaded store of abstract concepts; Steiner gives imaginative exercises that help us explore our suprasensory, spiritual nature. We can begin right now to act more consciously by recognizing the concrete nature of morality and the real consequences of our present lives. The introduction and comprehensive afterword by Paul Mar-gulies explain and contextualize Steiner's text, revealing a message that is more vital and relevant than ever in our frenzied, materialistic times. This book can help us experience more meaning in life and become more at home as spiritual citizens of the universe.

Engaging with this book will not only educate you, but imbue you with personal peace and happiness, becoming an experience both elegant and empowering.
