Law of Love & the Mathematics of Spirituality by Raju Sitaram Chidambaram Pdf
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord has thus ordained : ye yatha mam prapadyante tanstathaiva bhajamyaha ? | mama vartmanuvartante manu?ya ? partha sarvasa ? || Tr: The way they approach me, I too approach them in the same (reciprocating) manner. O Partha, all human beings follow paths leading to me. To the seers of the Rigveda, the Brahma revealed Itself in the form of Rcs; to the saints as all powerful deities manifesting in different forms; to the philosophers as dual existence dealt in the sankhya philosophy; while to a mathematician It is manifested in the form of mathematical equations. Dr. Chidambarams work ushers readers into the mathematical landscape of spirituality. It is simple enough to understand with some basic knowledge of mathematics. It will pave way for coming generations of mathematicians to chart novel ways to understand the Ultimate reality, the Supreme Brahman, through mathematics as laid down here. Dr. Pramod Pathak, Author and Indologist, Panaji,Goa
Aparokṣānubhūti belongs to the series of works by Ṡaṅkara known as prakaraṇagrantha, i.e., "specific treatises" in verse and prose concerning basic points of Vedānta teaching that examine the "great sentences" (mahāvākyas) contained in the Upaniṣads. In this series of treatises by Ṡaṅkara, other works fundamental for the understanding of the Advaitavāda or "path of Non-duality" include Vivekacūḍāmani, Ātmabodha, Upadeśasahāsrī and Laghuvākyavṛtti.Aparokṣānubhūti means "direct perception or knowledge of the Self" and by extension the action or practice actualized to realize oneself as ātman-Self, and therefore "Self-realization."Realize means to "translate into reality." This implies a bringing into actuality that which is virtual, a manifesting something that already exists.One who wants to find the "fullness" and the "beatitude" of Being must simply rediscover himself, must capture his own true and profound nature and ardently realize it. This does not mean "rejecting" life, "opposing" the sphere of perishable things or "abandoning" the world; rather, it means comprehending what one is and resolving what one is not. "Tat tvam asi: That thou art," to which Śaṅkara refers in his sūtras, is the mahāvākya that corresponds to the highest possible attainment and that Advaita Vedānta propounds for those individuals who are in conflict because their true nature has been "forgotten."To achieve this Comprehension-realization, Aparokṣānubhūti presents fifteen steps or means (some of which are also found in the Yogadarśana or Rajayoga of Patañjali) focusing especially on vicāra-discrimination or discernment. Vicāra is a method of philosophical inquiry, a process of pure searching for the universals. Unlike what one may think, it is an "experimental" method and not a mental process for constructing a theory of knowledge or of reality. In fact, it leads to the direct experience of Reality.Aparokṣānubhūti is based on jñāna Realization (Knowledge). Because it promotes the right consciential position for those who want to walk the "Path of Knowledge," the text of Śaṅkara's Preface to the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad has been included in the Appendix.The translation and commentary by Raphael adhere to the Advaita Tradition and offer a conceptual methodology appropriate to the Western mind; moreover, they adequately and properly stimulate the reader's consciousness toward living a real metaphysical life.As for Ṡaṅkara (788-820), it can be said that his philosophical and spiritual greatness is recognized by all scholars of Eastern and Western philosophy. According to some, he is "the architect of one of the highest realizations of the human Spirit."The book includes a transliterated Sanskrit text and a Glossary.

Composed by the great sage of Advaita Vedanta, Adi Sankara, this work gives an exposition of the symbols of puja (worship) in light of Nonduality. Written as a dialogue between a disciple and a Guru, the disciple first asks, “What manner of worship is prescribed for the One existing as undivided Being-Consciousness-Bliss with no second, without misconceptions, and of one nature?” He then asks similar questions about the details of such in the context of utmost Nonduality, and, starting with the ninth verse, the Guru replies in the light of the Knowledge of that utmost Nonduality.

The commentary of Shankara on the Gita is regarded as an outstanding specimen of Indian scholarship. The translator has accomplished his task in a most praiseworthy manner by giving a faithful translation, without in any way detracting from the strength or clarity of the original commentary. The inclusion of a ‘word index’ of the entire text has added to the worth of the book.

Tattva Bodha By Shankaracharya by Shraddhesh Chaturvedi Pdf
In this short book, Shankaracharya has explained the fundamental building blocks of all the entities as outlined in Vedic philosophy. This diverse world which consists of innumerable living and non-living entities, is nothing but an aggregate of these building blocks. Same observation holds for our bodies and its parts. He discusses the creation, composition and characteristics of our mind, intellect, memory and ego. He talks about the three different type of bodies we possess during waking, dreams and sound sleep. Along the way, he shows that which is not created is what we actually are. Our reality is beyond is beyond all bodies and definitions. Why we are not able to identify with this unborn and timeless reality now and how can we know it is the next set of important questions which he answers. And, then he answers the questions like what happens when we know the reality ourselves and how is it intrinsically different from the perception of reality of an ordinary person. It can serve as a concise, excellent and essential reference on Vedic philosophy which can help in understanding other Vedic texts. Clarity of basic concepts leads to swift and sound progress towards our non-dual reality. In this eternal oneness, there is no distress and delusion but the bliss and knowledge abound. We are this reality now but unaware of it due to our lack of focus. Once we understand it, it shines forth as if the sun has just come out of dark clouds of ignorance.
Hinduism is neither an organized religion nor a proselytising one. It is often described as a way of life, which gently nudges its followers—through its scriptures, mythologies, rituals and practices—to question deeply, live fully and grow wholesomely in compassion and universal acceptance. Hinduism believes whatever inspires one to stay truly unselfish, be it a vocation, an ideology or a faith, can lead one towards greater self-realization and ultimate freedom. Living Hinduism by Samarpan encapsulates this essence of Hinduism in a language that can be understood and appreciated by all, especially the younger generation, who need to know and understand what it means to be a Hindu, in an age of strident opinions and changing values.
A seemingly random selection of heads of state are struck down like flies by unnamed killers who work with the clinical efficiency of butchers. Except that they leave no trace of their methods. Welcome back to the shadowy and addictive world of Ashwin Sanghi. After The Rozabal Line, Chanakya's Chant, The Krishna Key and The Sialkot Saga, Ashwin Sanghi returns at last with another quietly fearsome tale-this time of men who guard the 'Kalachakra' or The Wheel of Time. Sanghi describes a world of people at war with one another-a boomeranging conflict of faiths that results in acts of such slow and planned human cruelty that they defy human imagination. Caught in the midst of this madness is Vijay Sundaram, a geek scientist who is only dimly aware that the wider sky outside his laboratory is stretched taut and close to being torn apart by forces that he wants simply to have nothing to do with. But events conspire to propel Vijay into the labyrinth of Milesian Labs, a centre of research deep in the forested hills of Uttarakhand. What he stumbles upon is a primordial clue to a galactic secret that could accelerate the downward spiral of humankind. Trapped and wholly unaware of his actual foe, Vijay races against time to save humanity-and himself. Zigzagging from Rama's crossing to Lanka to the birth of Buddhism; from the origin of Wahhabism to the Einsteinian gravitational wave-detectors of LIGO; from the charnel-grounds of naked tantric practitioners to the bespoke suits of the Oval Office; and from the rites of Minerva, shrouded in frankincense, to the smoke-darkened ruins of Nalanda, Keepers of the Kalachakra is a journey that will have you gasping for breath-but one that you cannot abandon till all the pieces of the jigsaw come together. Till you come up gobsmack against an end that you simply did not see coming.
