The Soulful Seeker by Punam Chadha-Joseph Pdf

When writer-poet Punam Chadha-Joseph took to the pen, to give expression to the scale of emotions she went through in a single day, what emerged over time was a cyclical play of love, joy, wonder, peace, anger, courage, sadness, fear and even despair in varying intensities. Having always been forthright, outspoken and a nonconformist, conventional morality was open for debate as was gender stereotyping. The writer-poet’s enquiry into matters philosophical and comical, culminated in The Soulful Seeker, a moving collection of poems that resonates our aspirations, hopes, longings and disappointments, and above all, our ever-changing notion of ideality. A delightful read indeed! “A good poet’s task is to provoke thought through simple language. For, translating Descartes, I think, therefore I am. Doing this is not easy. Punam, however, does it simply and well. Do read her poems and you will find yourself thinking. And equally importantly, often find yourself smiling too. For as she rightly says, there are ‘little bubbles of happiness that (we) often forget to see’.” Amish Tripathi, award-winning author, The Shiva Trilogy and Scion of Ikshvaku “A delicate rhythmic journey laced with clarity and elegance, the warmth of Punam’s persona reflects beautifully in this collection. I’m sure it will engross every reader who is ‘A Soulful Seeker’!” Padma Shri Prasoon Joshi, National Award-winning poet, song-writer, screen-writer & advertising legend. After completing her Bachelor’s in Economics (Honours) from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, Punam Chadha-Joseph joined the prestigious Oberoi School of Hotel Management in Delhi to do her post-graduation. In the course of her work-life, she met her husband Sabbas Joseph, the Founder-Director of Wizcraft, India’s pioneer Event Management agency. The Soulful Seeker is her first book of poems, and she is ready with another one, especially written for children, based on appreciating and saving the environment. Sketching being a new hobby, she has incorporated many of her sketches in The Soulful Seeker, including the very striking visual on the cover. Talking Points - Foreword by National Award-winning actress and activist Shabana Azmi - Endorsed by bestselling author Amish Tripathi, Padmashri and National Award-winning poet and lyricist Prasoon Joshi, National-Award winning director, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, and popular Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha among others - Debut collection of poems by artist-writer Punam Chadha-Joseph - Accompanied by Punam Chadha-Joseph’s beautiful artwork

The Seeker's Guide by Elizabeth Lesser Pdf

In 1977, Elizabeth Lesser cofounded the Omega Institute, now America's largest adult-education center focusing on wellness and spirituality. Working with many of the eminent thinkers of our times, including Zen masters, rabbis, Christian monks, psychologists, scientists, and an array of noted American figures--from L.A. Lakers coach Phil Jackson to author Maya Angelou--Lesser found that by combining a variety of religious, psychological, and healing traditions, each of us has the unique ability to satisfy our spiritual hunger. In The Seeker's Guid, she synthesizes the lessons learned from an immersion into the world's wisdom traditions and intertwines them with illuminating stories from her daily life. Recounting her own trials and errors and offering meditative exercises, she shows the reader how to create a personal practice, gauge one's progress, and choose effective spiritual teachers and habits. Warm, accessible, and wise, this book provides directions through the four landscapes of the spiritual journey: THE MIND: learning meditation to ease stress and anxiety THE HEART: dealing with grief, loss, and pain; opening the heart and becoming fully alive THE BODY: returning the body to the spiritual fold to heal and overcome the fear of aging and death THE SOUL: experiencing daily life as an adventure of meaning and mystery

Soul Seeker by Perspectus Pdf

Soul Seeker: Reflections on a Spiritual Journey from Darkness to the Light shares one man's reflections on his personal journey to healing, redemption, and spirituality. Describing himself as a former skeptic, his reflections begin with him trapped in a deep depression, resulting from a five-year battle with constant pain from an autoimmune disorder. Feeling hopeless and powerless, he hits the "darkest night of his soul" and decides to end his life. But this book is not about suicide, but rather, redemption. It begins with an awakening, visionary experience that leads to his healing and fills him with a permanent sense of well-being and an appreciation for life. As a result, he begins a journey to understand his spiritual awakening and his connection to a Higher Power. He examines and reflects in poetry, photography and prose, such things as mindfulness, meditation, spirituality, the soul, purpose and faith, messages of Mother Earth, love, truth, peace, blessings and sorrows, enlightenment, and very much more. At once a memoir of sorts, Soul Seeker also serves as an inspirational guide for others seeking their purpose in life and the meaning to existence. With clear language, well-explained concepts, this work is agile, easy to read, and full of wisdom from spiritual and metaphysical thinkers of the past two centuries. Perspectus' reflections look at: humanity's connection to the consciousness, energy, power, and matter in the universe; that each of our souls make up an even larger godlike consciousness or soul that is and always will be; the presence of a Higher Power within and outside of each of us; the existence of an eternal source of love, compassion, and redemption; and to never fear the dark. For without darkness, we will never find or know the true value of the light.

The Oneness of the Eastern Heart and the Western Mind by Sri Chinmoy Pdf

This historic collection of all of Sri Chinmoy’s university lectures in eBook form has been released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Sri Chinmoy’s arrival in the West on 13 April 1964. Sri Chinmoy’s very first university lecture was given at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica, on 10 January 1968. It was entitled “Spirituality: What It Is and What It Is Not.” This inaugurated a whole era of talks which saw Sri Chinmoy travelling ceaselessly across the length and breadth of America and around the world to address the youth of each country. He would spend countless hours travelling by car or train to reach far- flung universities, sometimes visiting two or even three in the course of a single day. After many of these sublimely inspiring discourses, he would answer questions from the audience or spend time instructing sincere seekers in the age-old practices of concentration, meditation and contemplation. By the mid-seventies, Sri Chinmoy had spoken volumes and he began to include longer and longer periods of silent meditation in his lectures. Then, in 1984, in a significant departure from the spoken word, he introduced the theme of Peace Concerts. At these concerts, Sri Chinmoy would play his own soulful and devotional compositions on a variety of instruments of both Eastern and Western origin, meditating between each instrument and sometimes giving aphorisms on peace and related themes. In 2003 yet another form of Sri Chinmoy’s self-offering unfolded when he travelled to a number of universities to honour distinguished professors for their significant contributions to the betterment of humanity by physically lifting them overhead. This remarkable endeavour was part of his “Lifting Up the World With a Oneness-Heart” award programme. Thus, through words, silence, music and a combination of physical and spiritual upliftment, Sri Chinmoy has shared his profound spiritual message with the aspiring Truth- seekers and God-lovers of the university-world for four decades. Sri Chinmoy’s words are mantras for the modern age, reverberating in our hearts with their timeless and truly life-transforming wisdom. In his exquisite prose, which is suffused with the very breath and cadence of poetry, Sri Chinmoy has revealed all the many stages of the seeker’s journey towards the Golden Shores of the ever-transcending Beyond. For generations to come these three volumes will awaken the inner mounting cry of seekers everywhere to achieve the highest Goal of Yoga—union with God—in this life.

A Seeker’s Journey by Fran Berkell-Rafferty Pdf

Fran Berkell-Rafferty was in college when she first saw the quote by Dag Hammarskjold, “If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, quieter, warmer.” Throughout the next four decades while busy pursuing degrees, marrying, and raising a family, she would often pause and question whether she was growing in direction of that mantra. In a collection of philosophical musings based on her personal experiences, Berkell-Rafferty reflects on her determination to grow firmer, simpler, quieter, and warmer as she aged while helping others to see how the simplest offerings of nature’s bounty can connect us to understanding the absolute complexities that we face day-to-day. Throughout her gems of hard-earned wisdom and observations of the natural world around her, she invites others to refill their spiritual wells and reflect on their own remarkable journey through life. A Seeker’s Journey shares thoughtful writings and wisdom that encourage those in search of inner peace to seek light from the darkness to grow firmer, simpler, quieter, and warmer.

Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die - James Dean's Final Hours by Keith Elliot Greenberg Pdf

(Applause Books). In Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die , readers take an evocative journey with author Keith Elliot Greenberg as he pieces together the puzzle of James Dean's final day and its everlasting impact. Greenberg travels to Dean's hometown to talk with folks who knew the star, and all the way to the California roads that underlay the tires of the actor's infamous Porsche Spyder. Taking the story back and forth in time, Greenberg gives insight into what drove Dean to live on the edge the early loss of his mother, his relentless drive to explore for the sake of his craft. Dean once said, "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." He lived to experience, and the one love that compared to his love of acting was his love of racing cars. Greenberg puts the event in historical context, reflecting on the world Dean lived in at the time, an era after World War II, the end of the Korean War, the advent of rock and roll, with the sixties coming down the pike. The star's too-soon departure froze him as a symbol of American Cool, and as proven by the 20,000 people who return to Dean's grave each year to pay homage, a major influence on youth culture for myriad generations. With fresh interviews with insiders, riveting storytelling, and acute attention to details from vehicle specs to Dean's stops along the way (including for an ominous speeding ticket) to how the news reached the world Greenberg delivers a thoughtful look at this historical moment.
