The Timeless Beauty of Asia by Govindha Pdf

The separation of the eye-sense from the dictation of the mental being with its permanent differentiating, separating and prejudging habits was the first highlight of his spiritual expedition. The character of this experience is first a complete stop of thinking, followed by a collapse of the dualistic division in subject and object. The illusion of subject and object is perpetuated by the habitual identification with thinking, and break to pieces when it stops. The body or the senses find back their original vision. And there is more to it than that. With the stop of thinking also the time, a mind-construct, ends and is replaced by a presence without past and future. In this eternal presence one doesn't have feelings of necessity, there is no need, no shortcoming, no wanting, no Ananke. Instead of one is full, complete, self-contented, fortunate and blissful. No words are able to express this experience, and every approach will end in speechlessness. The vision of the eyes freed from all separation is the vision of Oneness, endless, unspeakable. Whoever constantly lives in this consciousness, he is enlightened. But it is usual to fall back in the world of separation, of thinking, and so the memory becomes the guardian of the awakening and the heart the impulse for the journey to Oneness. Experiences like this are points of no return. Nobody can go back to the old ways of living, too strong is the yearning of the soul and too dull the old identity. The actual book wants to transfer the timeless beauty, the beauty without an opposite, to the heart of the readers and the same time arouse an enthusiasm for their own way of seeing and their individual journey back to Oneness.

Timeless Beauty by John Lane Pdf

In this book, John Lane calls us to awaken to the possibilities of a culture that recognizes the importance of beauty, and to acknowledge that we are only fully human in contact with the beautiful. Once, people were instinctively tuned to the beautiful. In those distant days before the advent of the motor car and the washing machine, the electric toothbrush and the wheel, craftsmen and musicians, masons and poets, painters and dancers simply did not know how to make an ugly thing; they could not close their hearts to the light of heaven. For countless numbers of them, beauty was as necessary as the air they breathed. It gave dignity and meaning to drab and impoverished lives, and inspired great (but often brutal) civilizations in which people lived creative and useful lives. Beauty is the nourishment of the soul. It is something that gives us dignity as a species, and this lovely volume celebrates it.

Another Asia by Rustom Bharucha Pdf

The book weaves through an intricate tapestry of ideas relating to pan-Asianism, nationalism, cosmopolitanism, and friendship, and positions the early modernist tensions of the period within—and against—the spectre of a unified Asia that concealed considerable political differences. The book draws on pan-Asian works such as The Ideals of the East and The Awakening of the East, in counterpoint to Tagore's radical Nationalism. The book, offering new insights into the ways in which the Orient travelled within and beyond Asia stimulated by emergent modes of vernacular cosmopolitanism, will appeal to students and scholars of cultural studies, South Asian postcolonial literature, literary theory, and performance studies, as well as general readers.

Green Consumption by Bart Barendregt,Rivke Jaffe Pdf

Green lifestyles and ethical consumption have become increasingly popular strategies in moving towards environmentally-friendly societies and combating global poverty. Where previously environmentalists saw excess consumption as central to the problem, green consumerism now places consumption at the heart of the solution. However, ethical and sustainable consumption are also important forms of central to the creation and maintenance of class distinction. Green Consumption scrutinizes the emergent phenomenon of what this book terms eco-chic: a combination of lifestyle politics, environmentalism, spirituality, beauty and health. Eco-chic connects ethical, sustainable and elite consumption. It is increasingly part of the identity kit of certain sections of society, who seek to combine taste and style with care for personal wellness and the environment. This book deals with eco-chic as a set of activities, an ideological framework and a popular marketing strategy, offering a critical examination of its manifestations in both the global North and South. The diverse case studies presented in this book range from Basque sheep cheese production and Ghanaian Afro-chic hairstyles to Asian tropical spa culture and Dutch fair-trade jewellery initiatives. The authors assess the ways in which eco-chic, with its apparent paradox of consumption and idealism, can make a genuine contribution to solving some of the most pressing problems of our time.
