Jnaneshwar's Gita by Jñānadeva,Swami Kripananda Pdf
Jnaneshwari is a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita completed in 1290 C.E. by the poet-saint Jnaneshwar. Swami Kripananda has simply put the Jnaneshwari into the contemporary English idiom in rather the same way that Robert Bly put Tagore's translation of Kabir into contemporary language.
The humanworld is in great trouble. The statesmen of the world are still talking of'civilisation' and the possibility of its being destroyed. This is the result of theabandonment, in the dealings of different groups of human beings with oneanother, of the tenets of all the moral teachers of mankind. No good man hasever lived on this globe and preached anything, who has not preached kindness,consideration of humanity and fairness in the dealings with others. Europe, forthe last three centuries in her dealings with the people of the five continents, hasshown an adherence to greed and cruelty and to the use of force. The states ofEurope are now adopting towards each other exactly the rule of the jungle,which they adopted towards peoples in the five continents of the world, and theyare bent upon total war or complete destruction. On the material plane, on whichlife has been lived. statesmanship has been bankrupt, and the organization andconduct of human society has failed. It is in times of such cataclysm thatthoughtful men turn for guidance inwards. They realise that the fruits of violenceare bitter, that the triumphs are short-lived, that the success is empty, and thatthe greatest good of the greatest number cannot be achieved thus. The Indianmind deriving inspiration from Indian tradition, sees that there can be no lastingpeace, and the best qualities, which ennoble humanity, cannot be brought to thesurface until greed and injustice are eliminated, until artificial barriers of raceand colour are demolished and until the claims of common humanity areacknowledged as supreme. It is the sovereignty of the divine law, which has tobe enthroned, and the first principle of that law is what was preached in theSermon on the Mount and what is instinct and living in every page of the Gita asexplained by Dnyaneshwara Maharaj.
The Bhagavad-Gita for the Modern Reader by M. V. Nadkarni Pdf

Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta/Gita (also referred to simply as Geeta or Gita) is the most revered of Indian scriptures that comprehensively presents the highest spiritual philosophy in the Indian tradition. It is believed to be told by Lord Shri Krishna to Arjuna on the Mahabharat battle field of Kurukshetra. Just before the epic war between Pandavas and Kauravas was to begin, Arjuna was suddenly overcome by confusion about whether it was right for him to fight his own cousins and other relatives as also his revered teachers (gurus) and other elders who were standing opposite him as his enemies. As a result, he dropped his weapons and sat down in his chariot in a completely distraught mood. It was then that Shri Krishna who had taken upon himself the job of being Arjuna's charioteer, preached the complete spiritual philosophy by way of Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta. It helped Arjuna understand clearly what this creation is and what the purpose of human life in it is. He could then proceed with fighting the Mahabharat war as a duty in a detached manner. Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta consists of 18 chapters and is originally in Sanskrit. There have been many explanatory commentaries on it by different philosophers and thinkers. The greatest of some of the most revered saints who lived during the 13th century in Maharashtra, Sant Shri Dnyaneshwar Maharaj, wrote an incomparable commentary on the Geeta titled Bhavarth Deepika, more popularly known as Shri Dnyaneshwari, in Marathi verse form. It is believed that Lord Shri Krishna Himself reincarnated as Sant Dnyaneshwar primarily to take the Geeta philosophy down to the less educated seekers who were unable to understand the original Geeta in Sanskrit language. Shri Dnyaneshwari is the result of that. Sant Shri Dnyaneshwar maharaj took samadhi at a tender age of 21 years soon after completing Dnyaneshwari, which confirms the belief that the primary purpose of his incarnation was delivering Geeta philosophy to the masses of ordinary people. The original Dnyaneshwari is organised exactly on the lines of Geeta in 18 chapters. Each of the shlokas (verses) of Geeta has many owis (Marathi verses) explaining the meaning of the particular shloka. Sant Shri Dnyaneshwar excels in putting across the underlying philosophy by way of many different metaphors and examples from the day-to-day life making it easy for a sincere reader to understand and digest it. The Dnyaneshwari owis are in old Marathi of the 13th century. This series of three books is an attempt by the author to take the Dnyaneshwari to non-Marathi seekers. It is a literal translation of the original "owis" rendered as modern English prose. It is presented in the following format - the literal meaning in English of the original Sanskrit shloka/s of Geeta followed by the English translation of the related owis. At some places, more than one shloka are presented together if the meaning can be better understood that way. The reader is expected to have a reasonable degree of familiarity with Indian spiritual philosophy and the commonly used Sanskrit terms in respect of the various fundamental spiritual concepts. The original Sanskrit shlokas of Geeta in Devnagari script are not included because Kindle does not support the relative font at present. Chapter 1 and the first ten shlokas of Geeta describe the formation of armies on both the sides with the names and qualities of the various warriors gathered on the battle field. There is also a description of the distraught state of Arjuna's mind in this initial part. The actual philosophical preaching by Lord Shri Krishna starts from Chapter 2, shloka 11 and hence this book also starts from that point onwards. This translation of the complete Dnyaneshwari is presented in three volumes. The first volume covers chapters 2 to 8, second covers chapters 9-13 and the third covers chapters 14-18.

Thirteenth-century India saw a huge revival of religious devotion among the common folk, similar to the waves of religious fervor that swept over late medieval Europe. One of the pillars of this revival was the poet-saint Jnaneshwar, author of an exquisite commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. Like his contemporary Dante, Jnaneshwar was a poet of the vernacular, who wrote in Marathi, the language of ordinary villagers, rather than the Sanskrit of the brahmin orthodoxy. Over the centuries, the Jnaneshwari, as his commentary is known, has become a scripture in its own right. Expanding the Gita’s seven hundred verses to approximately nine thousand, and using the images of ordinary life to explain its lofty teachings, Jnaneshwar fashioned from human language one of the most sublime visions of the Absolute that has ever been put into speech. The Jnaneshwari is one of the marvels of world literature. The greatest study of the Jnaneshwar is still this work by the philosopher R. D. Ranade, originally published in 1933. In addition to being a renowned scholar, Ranade was also a mystic and an initiated disciple, and he brings all these broad currents of the Indian tradition to his analysis of the Jnaneshwari. Readers who are sometimes intoxicated by the richness of Jnaneshwar’s imagery, will appreciate the way Ranade has here uncovered the work’s inner structure, and how he has briefly summarized its approach to the Gita’s great themes: action vs. renunciation; devotion and dharma; the form and the formless aspects of God; and the subject dearest to Jnaneshwar’s heart, the nature of the spiritual Master. This book also includes Ranade’s study of Jnaneshwar’s abhangas, his religious songs, as well as an analysis of his magnificent Amritanubhav, “The Nectar of Self-Awareness,” an inspired synthesis of Samkhya and Shaivism.

Religions and Rituals by Prof. Dulal Bhattacharya Pdf
Warring religions and continuous abuse of Hinduism prompted me to write this book. In the usual comparative religion approach, similes are shown while contrasts and conflicts are avoided with a passing mention. I have written both similes and contrasts for a better evaluation. In this context, I remember a story that I read about the King of Hispaniola as told by the boasting Spaniards. After the Spaniards captured the King of Hispaniola, they put him up on stakes to burn. Before setting the fire, the padre of the Spaniards asked the King if he would agree to accept Christianity since it would not only save his life but would also guarantee his entry into heaven after death. The King, after listening to the padre, asked if all Spaniards go to heaven after death. The padre answered in the affirmative. The King then said that heaven must be a very vile place full of cruel people, and the King further added that they can put fire so that he can happily join his forefathers. This story is a good reminder of how religions can make people cruel unless there is a good way of self-evaluation. This book seeks to fill up that gap in the study of comparative religion. It will supplement contemporary books like 'Snakes in Ganga' by Rajeev Malhotra and documentary films like 'The Kashmir Files' by Vivek Agnihotri.
