Mahabharat : The Gateway to Political Moksha by Mukesh Bhardwaj Pdf

The inhuman foeticide of the future of Abhimanyu gives us a measure to test the history of feudal system. Great grandfathers, elders, teachers and warriors who were revered and worshipped by the generations showed their ugly face by breaking every sacred norm of the battle. The weight of debris thus falls on the present and is never regarded as an ideal but remains something befitting for the waste basket. A number of 'great men' from the power elite-the Pandavs and the Kauravs, occupy the spotlight in the grand epic Mahabharat. These magnificent men and women continue to illuminate our imagination even though thousands of years have elapsed between their actions and our response to them. Tucked away in the epic is the quiet, dignified, but marginalized, life of Barbreek. He was the grandson of mighty Bheem (but of a tribal lineage) who had vowed to fight for the losing side in the great battle. Krishna knew if Barbreek entered the fray, he will battle for the losing side, the Kaurvas, and ensure their victory. Krishna persuaded Barbreek to agree to be beheaded before the war began on the condition that his severed head will stay alive to witness the battle Royale. Barbreek symbolizes the public. They have the power to turn the battle away from the elite, and to themselves but they are always persuaded not to join the war to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their leader's grand visions. Power politics, in other words, works only when, like Barbreek's severed head placed on the hill, the public is reduced to an incapacitated spectator in the game of thrones. Erudite Jansatta's Executive Editor Mukesh Bhardwaj examines Mahabharat's characters and consistently finds parallels in contemporary polity. This book offers a compelling perspective on politics, polity and persons from the Mahabharat and why they are relevant today.

Mahabharata Book Twelve (Volume 3) by Anonim Pdf

The Book of Liberation is perhaps the most enigmatic philosophical text from ancient India. Presented as the teachings of Bhishma as he lies dying on the battlefield, after the epic war between the Pándavas and Káuravas, it was composed by unknown authors in the last centuries BCE, during the early period of world-renunciation, when peripatetic sages meditated under trees and practiced austerities in forest groves, and wandering sophists debated in the towns and cities. There has been no time like it before or since: such freedom of thought and expression is unparalleled in the history of the world. The freedom enjoyed by these ancient thinkers was not an end in itself. Above all this animated work is the record of philosophers seeking liberation (moksha) from a world they believed unsatisfactory. The speculation herein is but a means to an end, for its authors believed they could attain freedom from the world by knowing philosophical truths.

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"

The Pregnant King by Devdutt Pattanaik Pdf

‘I am not sure that I am a man,’ said Yuvanashva. ‘I have created life outside me as men do. But I have also created life inside me, as women do. What does that make me? Will a body such as mine fetter or free me?’ Among the many hundreds of characters who inhabit the Mahabharata, perhaps the world’s greatest epic and certainly one of the oldest, is Yuvanashva, a childless king, who accidentally drinks a magic potion meant to make his queens pregnant and gives birth to a son. This extraordinary novel is his story. It is also the story of his mother Shilavati, who cannot be king because she is a woman; of young Somvat, who surrenders his genitals to become a wife; of Shikhandi, a daughter brought up as a son, who fathers a child with a borrowed penis; of Arjuna, the great warrior with many wives, who is forced to masquerade as a woman after being castrated by a nymph; of Ileshwara, a god on full-moon days and a goddess on new-moon nights; and of Adi-natha, the teacher of teachers, worshipped as a hermit by some and as an enchantress by others. Building on Hinduism’s rich and complex mythology—but driven by a very contemporary sensibility—Devdutt Pattanaik creates a lush and fecund work of fiction in which the lines are continually blurred between men and women, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. Confronted with such fluidity the reader is drawn into Yuvanashva’s struggle to be fair to all—those here, those there and all those in between.

Orientalism and Religion by Richard King Pdf

Orientalism and Religion offers us a timely discussion of the implications of contemporary post-colonial theory for the study of religion. Richard King examines the way in which notions such as mysticism, religion, Hinduism and Buddhism are taken for granted. He shows us how religion needs to be reinterpreted along the lines of cultural studies. Drawing on a variety of post-structuralist and post-colonial thinkers, such as Foucault, Gadamer, Said, and Spivak, King provides us with a challenging series of reflections on the nature of Religious Studies and Indology.

Sri Ramana Maharshi'S Moksha by Sankara Bhagavadpada Pdf

A Hindu Astrological Pilgrimage into the Life and Moksha of Sri Ramana Maharshi Sri Ramana Maharshi's Moksha is a new interdisciplinary Hindu astrological work in the spiritual spheres of Dharma and Moksha - exemplified through the life and Moksha of Sri Ramana Maharshi. The book throws new light on the nature of Moksha, the necessary and sufficient conditions for its occurrence, and also on the very process of the Maharshi's Moksha itself. Astrologers and seekers alike travelling on diverse paths will find in this book astonishing new insights, which will enable them to see 'order', for the first time, in the field of their enigmatic spiritual lives; a field wherein they would have seen previously no definitive pattern of spiritual destiny at all - but only a seething confusion of disillusionment and belied hopes. The author's unwavering devotion to the teachings of his four Spiritual Masters: Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Sri Bhagavan, Sri J. Krishnamurti and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, has certainly imbued the work with a spiritual intensity that is devoid of all narrowness.
