Insights Into Existence - Essays On The Upanisads by Raghunandan Pdf
It is generally opined-though erroneously, that the Vedanta or Upanisads are beyond the reach of common lot of people, and are meant for only the recluses dedicated to the spiritual quest. Swami Vivekananda not only introduced them to the general public, but also tried to convince them that the Upanisads have solutions to our common problems, The essays presented in this book attempt to give a glimpse into the Upanisadic methodology or Vicara as it is called, which makes use of doubt and inquiry.

Santosh highlights key revevant points of Aurobindos Essays on the Gita, explains them and reveals their depth and implications today.

The Katha Upanishad embraces the key ideas of Indian mysticism in a mythic story we can all relate to – the quest of a young hero, Nachiketa, who ventures into the land of death in search of immortality. But the insights of the Katha are scattered, hard to understand. Easwaran presents them systematically, and practically, as a way to explore deeper and deeper levels of personality, and to answer the age-old question, “Who am I?” Easwaran grew up in India, learned Sanskrit from a young age, and became a professor of English literature before coming to the West. His translation of The Upanishads is the best-selling edition in English. For students of philosophy and of Indian spirituality, and readers of wisdom literature everywhere, Easwaran’s interpretation of this classic helps us in our own quest into the meaning of our lives.

These timeless insights, recorded several thousands of years ago, declare the oneness of not only the human beings - irrespective of cast, religion, gender, race, but also the entire animate and inanimate world. They ask: "How can anyone hate or kill anyone else, when in reality, we are all one in the ultimate sense?" They also provide us a way of experiencing this ultimate truth, the pinnacle of our spiritual journey. At the same time, Upanishads don't advocate abandonment of worldly life. They advise that "one should aspire to live on for full hundred years, enjoying the world; while keeping in mind the oneness of all. So enjoy, but without over indulgence; Acquire wealth, but without snatching someone else's rightful share. At the same time, keep doing your duty." In a time, riddled with mutual distrust, hatred, violence, and narrow identities, what could be a more apt message than the one given by these Upanishads?! This book provides a wonderful insight into the profound wisdom of these ancient texts that make lot of sense in the world we are in today.

The essays explore his central notions, including the will, empirical knowledge, and the sublime, and widens to the interplay of ethics and religion with Schopenhauer's philosophy.

Ethics, Morality, and International Affairs by Willard D. Keim Pdf
Does morality apply to international politics? Can one be a realist and ethical at the same time? Willard D. Keim answers these questions in Ethics, Morality, and International Affairs, arguing that the key to the paradigm of foreign relations is the recognition of the freedom of other human beings. Drawing upon Jean-Paul Sartre's two principles--being in-itself and being for-itself--Keim proposes that while morality should be pertinent to international policy, the world is imperfect, and values are not absolutes derived from nature. He develops the idea of lucidity, and in the final chapter applies his theories to the Persian Gulf War. Scholars of international politics as well as philosophers, and the general educated public, will find this book a fascinating read.
The Upanishads--II : Kena And Other Upanishads by Sri Aurobindo Pdf
The Upanishads has now been expanded and brought out in two volumes, with much new material published for the first time in book form. The single volume The Upanishads has been discontinued, with all its content included in the two new volumes, each available as an independent book. The Kena Upanishad is concerned with the relation of mind-consciousness to Brahman-consciousness , writes Sri Aurobindo in his commentary on this work. The material world and the physical life exist for us only by virtue of our internal self and our internal life. According as our mental instruments represent to us the external world, according as our vital force in obedience to the mind deals with its impacts and objects, so will be our outward life and existence. Along with Sri Aurobindo's final translation of and commentary on the Kena, this book includes his translations of six other Upanishads as well as several other translations and commentaries, and essays such as 'The Philosophy of the Upanishads'.
