Sages, Saints & Kings of Ancient India by Swami B. B. Tirtha Maharaja Pdf

The people of ancient times were inclined to give their attention not only to the external world of inert matter, but also to the world within, the vital world of consciousness. Those sages who understood the importance of such contemplation comprise the prime subject matter of this book. Especially in the troubled world of today, it is by the conscientious study of their activities and teachings that we may come to understand the Absolute Truth, or the Ultimate Reality, and attain lasting peace and joy. The pastimes of such great, sagely personalities have been narrated in detail in an ancient collection of works known as the Puranas, as well as in timeless epics such as the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and other Vedic literatures. In this book, Srila Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha Goswami Maharaja, a bona fide self-realized representative of the bhakti (devotional) lineage, has narrated important episodes and addressed salient points from these literatures. Thus, the avid reader may understand their inner meaning and apply this knowledge to their search for real happiness. Ultimately, such unadulterated, permanent happiness, according to the devotional tradition, is realized as the attainment of pure love of God, Sri Krishna.

Ancient Sages of India by M. Venkataraman Pdf

The foundations of Hinduism are the eternal and super sensuous truths discovered by ancient Indian sages. Most of them are unknown. The truths discovered by them are known as the Vedas. Sages are the great souls who have found out the truth and devoted their life, energy and experience for the welfare of the people. They are extraordinary human beings having great wisdom, vast experience and character worthy of imitation. They gifted everything to the world without seeking fame or any kind of gain. Welfare of the world was their sole objective. According to Hindu chronology, the period of the ancient sages is till the end of Dwapara Yuga, which is about 5000 years back. The penetration of these sages in the subjects they dealt with is very profound and clear. The later generation just interpreted their work and followed their footsteps. India has been blessed from time immemorial by the advent of innumerable sages. In this book you can read the stories of some of these known sages.

Suryavamsha by Manjunath Dattatreya Pdf

What do you look for in a mythological story? Tales of love? War? Scandal? Sacrifice? Success and failure? Pleasure and pain? Life and death? This book isn't just a collection of tales but collective wisdom of ancient Rishis seen through the prism of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. The book narrates some fascinating untold stories from Suryavamsha, the Kshatriya clan that built Ayodhya, also known as the Invincible City. It starts from the beginning of time and culminates to Suryavamsha's eventual disintegration. The stories are extractions from Rig Vedic hymns, Vishnu Purana, Matsya Purana, Shatapata Brahmana and Srimad Bhagvatam. It is a saga that interweaves simple entertaining storytelling from Indian mythology with thrilling scientific plausibility, deep spiritualism from Vedas and Upanishads and intriguing contemporary corporate lessons. Our stories may look bizarre at times, but intellectual curiosity requires you to see that they are full of symbolisms, metaphors and even contradictions. The books makes a sincere attempt to scratch the surface and look for a deeper meaning. So, let us stay curious and see mythology with awe and wonder.
