'On the tree of Indian wisdom', says Paul Deussen, 'there is no fairer flower than the Upanisads, and no finer fruit than the Vedanta philosophy. This system grew out of the teachings of the Upanisads and was brought to its consummate form by the great Sankara.' Every other system of thought that bloomed on the Indian soil directly or indirectly drew its inspiration from this eternal spring. It grapples with some of the most baffling problems confronted by the human mind. The search for the Ultimate Truth reached its critical dimension in the Upanisads where the human mind was forced to shed the last vestige of its tendency to conceptualize-and then the Truth glowed. From every sentence deep, original, and sublime thoughts arise, In the whole world there is no study, so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanisads. It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death, said Schopenhauer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong all the Upanisads, the Brhadaranyaka has a distinctive mark for the vastness and profundity of its approaches to the riddle of life and existence. The most Abstract Truth is herein set against a humane backdrop, and a dispassionate and fearless search for it is instituted by brilliant minds. Every zealously guarded belief passes the fire-test of scientific enquiry. And If there is one word that you find coming out like a bomb from the Upanisads, bursting like a bombshell upon the masses of ignorance, it is the word fearlessness, said Swami Vivekananda. Conforming to this general tune of the Upanisads, in the climactic scene of the Brhadaranyaka we find the great sage Yajnavalkya make the emperor Janaka attain that supreme state of fearlessness. The beauty of this Upanisad lies in its sublime majesty of thought and exhaustiveness, which makes it truly The Great Forest Book unraveling the mystery enshrouding man and his universe, and hence, of timeless relevances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe words of the Upanisads are great music, the tunes of which have the power to fascinate the hearts of all sensitive people, century after century. Every one who studies the Upanisads reverently, and in a seeking mood, will realize for himself or herself the charm of their deep, profound utterances couched in language, direct and deep, poetic and sublime. A spiritual seeker who reads the Upanisads will feel that he is dealing with a theme that is very close to his life and destiny, a reality which is in himself as well as in the world outside. The deep pulsations of that reality have been caught up in the beautiful music of the Upanisads.\u003cbr\u003e-Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe system of Advaita as founded on the Upanisads and Vedanta sutras and accomplished by Sankara’ commentaries on them-equal in rank to Plato and Kant-is one of the most valuable products of the genius of mankind in his researches of the eternal truth.\u003cbr\u003e-Paul Deussen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eRelevance of the Upanisads in the Age of Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER ONE\u003cbr\u003eA Universal Prayer\u003cbr\u003eConcept of Man and Woman\u003cbr\u003eCreation and Evolution\u003cbr\u003eMind-Brain Enigma\u003cbr\u003eLove-Its True Focus\u003cbr\u003eKnower of Brahman Becomes Brahman\u003cbr\u003eFreedom from Slavery to Gods\u003cbr\u003eDharma and social Health\u003cbr\u003eMind-Does it Exist?\u003cbr\u003ePrana-The Unite Cosmic Energy\u003cbr\u003eSearch for the Missing Self\u003cbr\u003eName-form-Process and Brahman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER TWO\u003cbr\u003eApara-vidya sans Para-vidya-Its Dangers\u003cbr\u003eGargya Balaki-Ajatasatru Dialogue\u003cbr\u003eDepth Psychology and Sleep\u003cbr\u003eDeep Sleep\u003cbr\u003eDream\u003cbr\u003eDeep Sleep\u003cbr\u003eSatyasya Satyam\u003cbr\u003eLimitations of Logic\u003cbr\u003eFreedom\u003cbr\u003eImportance of Sankaracarya’s Commentary\u003cbr\u003eThe Relative Universe\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to the Yajnavalkya-Maitreyi dialogue\u003cbr\u003eGoal of Evolution-Biological View vis-à-vis the Vedantic Yajnavalkya-Maitrey dialogue\u003cbr\u003eLove-Its True Focus\u003cbr\u003eCreation\u003cbr\u003eDissolution\u003cbr\u003eBrahman, Image Worship and Religions\u003cbr\u003eMadhu-brahmana\u003cbr\u003eThe Line of Teachers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER THREE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Court of Janaka\u003cbr\u003eYajnavalkya-Artabhaga dialogue\u003cbr\u003eDeath of Death\u003cbr\u003eThe theory of Karma\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to Yajnavalkya-Bhujyu Dialogue\u003cbr\u003eYajnavalkya-Bhujyu Dialogue\u003cbr\u003eConceptual vis-à-vis Experiential God\u003cbr\u003eVision-Eternal and Transitory\u003cbr\u003eYajnavalkya-Kahola Dialogue\u003cbr\u003eThe Psychology of Desire\u003cbr\u003eThe Conduct of a Knower of Brahman\u003cbr\u003eBrahman-one only without a Second Freedom\u003cbr\u003eYajnavalkya-Gargi Dialogue\u003cbr\u003eThe Sutra\u003cbr\u003eAntaryami, the Inner ruler\u003cbr\u003eThe Three Profound Expressions\u003cbr\u003eYajnavalkya-Gargi Dialogue\u003cbr\u003eAkasa and Space-time Continuum\u003cbr\u003eSruti and Smrti\u003cbr\u003eWho is a Brahmana?\u003cbr\u003eDiscrimination between the subject and the Object Yajnavalkya-Sakalya Dialogue\u003cbr\u003eThe Concept of gods, goddesses and God \u003cbr\u003eMaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER FOUR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYajnavalkya-Janaka Dialogue\u003cbr\u003eFearlessness\u003cbr\u003eThe Methodology of the Three States\u003cbr\u003eReasoning and Self-realization\u003cbr\u003eDevaluation of Heaven in Vedanta\u003cbr\u003eIs there a Self apart from the Body?\u003cbr\u003eWhich is the Self?\u003cbr\u003eAnanda\u003cbr\u003eDeath, Rebirth \u0026amp; Liberation\u003cbr\u003eYajnavalkya-Maitreyi Dialogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER FIVE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDa, Da, Da\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONCLUSION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Swami Ranganathananda \/ Advaita Ashram \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776353874089,"sku":"15723","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/15723_80972096-51a8-459d-a54b-7eebae978e30.jpg?v=1625525244"},{"product_id":"17185-bhakti-and-sankirtan","title":"Bhakti and Sankirtan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Swami Sivananda\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Divine Life Society\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2013\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 207\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bhakti Sutras of Rishi Sandilya are as much useful to the aspirants in the path of devotion as the Bhakti Sutras of Narada.

Though forming part of the Vedic religious dissertations, the Upanishads discuss and reveal only pure wisdom, to be accessed by mind and intelligence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey deal alike with intricacies of human personality and world constitution. Shri Ram Piparaiya has evidently made a deep study in this area, and has brought together in one volume a useful compendium of original Upanishadic texts and commentaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpanishads are a record of human mind’s earliest contemplative flights to the Unknown. Many of the anonymous seekers preceded great Masters and Prophets like Lao-Tzu, Confucius, Socrates, Zoroaster, Buddha, Mahavira, Abraham and Jesus, by at least a few centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpanishads are ahead of even modern times. Physicists concept of Ultimate Reality has progressed from atoms to sub-atomic particles to vibrating strings; and search for a Theory of Everything continues. Upanishads declare that Ultimate reality-or what we call God-is Pure and Absolute consciousness. Space-time, matter-energy and life-mind are Its conditioned and relative manifestations. Human mind is a miniature Cosmic Mind. Everything in the universe is interconnected, Micro and macro-worlds have identical patterns. The universe is an embodiment of prefect harmony when viewed in its totality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpanishads point to interplay of ego and Self as the root cause of evil and good. Every person has a unique ego, which makes him different from all others. However, every person has one and the same Self, which makes him concerned for others. Ego helps progress, but it also gives rise to evils like selfishness, possessiveness and intolerance. These are balanced by enhancing our awareness of Our Self in all. Knowledge of self spurs peace. We need both progress and peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpanishads use many captivating dialogue, stories and metaphors to bring out the relationship between man, God and world. Timeless truths are condensed in profound aphorisms. After a few glimpses of Upanishadic texts, their mere presence on a bookshelf inspires thoughts of wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShri Ram Piparaiya has evidently made a deep study in this area, and has brought together in one volume a useful compendium of original Upanishad texts and commentaries.

He has a simple role to play in the whole story - that of a charioteer of Pandava’s army’s fate. And truly how he does it leaves you dumbfounded. That someone can provide such profound lessons and lead a much weaker side to a victory so convincingly is possible only through a divine intervention. In doing so, the Supreme Lord plays tricks, makes people speak lies, plays with the forces of nature and still sounds truly convincing as to why He did what He did. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDraupadi - The wife of the Pandava brothers. She becomes the reason behind Pandavas pledging to fight Kauravas and wiping them from the face of this earth. She represents the true power of the womenfolk. Can any fury be greater than a woman scorned? Then any greater than Draupadi scorned? Worship will not appease her. The blood of her tormentors will. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArjuna - The ace warrior and the crown in Pandava’s armor. Standing on the line between desire and duty, he is the most important character to compare you against. To me he represents true human behavior. He is selectively selfish and gives in into pleasures of life. He also feels sad at the prospect of killing men of tremendous discipline and outstanding characters just because fate has brought them face to face with him in a battlefield. He has his eyes set on his target firmly and is one of the best in his fields. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBhishma - The grandsire of the two sides. He has an amazing strength of character and is one of the greatest warriors of the age. Such are his arrows and their celestial powers that Pandava army can never imagine of winning the war with him in the way. He is fighting for the Kaurava army as he is bound by his pledge to always protect the kingdom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuryodhana - No parent in their right minds would name their son as Dur-yodhana. \"Dur\" in Sanskrit means bad. So the name should have been Sur-Yodhana , but given his  evil ways  and haughty mannerism, no wonder his name got changed over a period of time. He represents the other end of spectrum as the Pandava Army does - villainous,  cold-blooded and above all full of deceipt. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKarna - He is truly a hero worth reckoning. He has a true friend in Duryodhana (the Kaurava prince) and his sense of duty comes from being bound by the sense of friendship and of loyalty even when he knows that all his real brothers are fighting on the opposite side and he has to kill them to ensure victory for his headstrong friend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrona - The teacher to the royal clan of Kauravas and Pandavas. He is an ace-archer and his favorite pupil is Arjuna. Such is the largesse and favoritism of this guru towards Arjuna that it makes him pathetically narrow minded and prejudiced towards Arjuna. He also has to fight for Kaurava Army because he is also bound by duty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are other characters which are very powerful (Yudhistra, Bhima, Dushasan, Shakuni, etc).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.

One is that at the time that Anjana was worshipping Lord Shiva, elsewhere, Dasaratha, the king of Ayodhya, was performing the Putrakama Yagna in order to have children. As a result, he received some sacred pudding, to be shared by his three wives, leading to the births of Lord Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna. By divine ordinance, a kite snatched a fragment of that pudding, and dropped it while flying over the forest where Anjana was engaged in worship. Vayu, the Hindu deity of the wind, delivered the falling pudding to the outstretched hands of Anjana, who consumed it. Hanuman was born to her as a result.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a child, assuming the sun to be a ripe fruit, he once took flight to catch hold of it to eat. Indra, the king of devas observed this. He hurled his weapon, the Vajra (thunderbolt) at Hanuman, who fell back down to the earth, broke his chin and became unconscious. Upset, Vayu went into seclusion, taking the atmosphere with him. As living beings began to get asphyxiated, to pacify Vayu, Indra withdrew the effect of his thunderbolt, and the devas revived Hanuman and blessed him with multiple boons. However, a permanent mark was left on his chin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHanuman meets Rama during the latter is 14-year exile in the forest. With his brother Lakshmana, Rama is searching for his wife Sita who had been abducted by the rakshasa emperor Ravana.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHanuman continues to play an indispensable role in the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their search for Sita, a group of Vanaras reaches the southern seashore. Upon encountering the vast ocean, every vanara begins to lament his inability to jump across the water. Hanuman too is saddened at the possible failure of his mission, until the other vanaras, and especially the wise bear Jambavantha begin to extol his virtues. Hanuman then recollects his own powers, enlarges his body and flies across the ocean. On his way, he encounters a mountain that rises from the sea, proclaims that it owed his father a debt and asks him to rest a while before proceeding. Not wanting to waste any time, Hanuman thanks the mountain and carries on. He then encounters a sea-monster who challenges him to enter her mouth. When Hanuman outwits her, she admits that it was merely a test of his courage. Finally, on killing Simhika, a shadow-eater rakshasa he reached Lanka.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the war ends, Rama's 14-year exile has almost elapsed. Rama then remembers Bharata's vow to immolate himself if Rama does not return to rule Ayodhya immediately, on completion of the stipulated period. Realising that it would be a little later than the last day of the 14 years when he would reach Ayodhya, Rama is anxious to prevent Bharata from giving up his life. Once again, Hanuman comes to the rescue – he speeds to Ayodhya to inform Bharata that Rama is on his way back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the war, and after reigning for several years, the time arrived for Rama to depart to his heavenly abode. Many of Rama's entourage, including vanaras like Sugriva decided to depart with him. Shunning the heavens, Hanuman however, requested to remain on earth as long as Rama's name was venerated by people. Sita accorded Hanuman that desire, and granted that his image would be installed at various public places, so he could listen to people chanting Rama's name. He is one of the Chiranjeevis (immortals) in Hinduism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. HANUMANA - Bacgrounder\u003cbr\u003e2. Birth of Hnaumana\u003cbr\u003e3.

It was given to nip in the bud the despondency which was growing in the hearts of its foremost leaders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast, Uddhava Gita is the direct, untrammelled, uninhibited teaching of a Master to His disciple, who had no other aim in life but to attain union with Him, and, as such, it is of the greatest practical value to those who seek to reach the same height, the State of the Lord Himself, which is the Supreme Enlightenment or Liberation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSrimad Bhagavata is, in effect, planned to resolve all the spiritual doubts of the ardent, self-dedicated seekers of all ages. They are represented here by a great, pious king – Parikshit – who is setting on his deathbed praying for light from the assembled sages, so to face calmly and with a purified, illumined mind the last solemn moments of his life. What is more, it creates in the seeker the fervent devotion, which can impel him to make the strenuous efforts which are needed for the fruition and consummation of his spiritual yearnings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe difference in the teachings of these two masterpieces does not actually exist save in the characters of the persons to whom they were respectively addressed, the circumstances in which they were delivered, and the developments of their themes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contemplative student should not be misled by the easy presentation and widely diffused instructions of the Bhagavata to permit a single useful point to slip into oblivion. He will then find all his questions answered, even those of which he has been vaguely aware but unable mentally to grasp or formulate, and all his problems solved. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTherefore to allow its blazing light to dispel the darkness of primeval avidya from the mind, constant repetitions and an intensely close study of it are most

Taittiriyaka-vidya-prakasah, that is 'the exposition of the teaching of the Taittiriyopanisad'. It is to be seen that almost all Upanisads propound the unity of the Self with Brahman in two ways, firstly by negation and secondly by the mode of indicative descriptions. Both these methods are to be met within the Taittiriyopanisad. Indeed this Upanisad is the fountainhead for both methods which converge to the same point in the famous declaration: ‘Brahmavidyapnoti param’ (the knower of Brahman attains the supreme).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat Vidyaranya has accomplished in this independent work is best described as a 'meta-commentary', being not a mere gloss on the existing commentary, but an independent exercise in interpretation of the Upanisads themselves guided at every step by the turns in the commentary of Sankaracarya. In sum it may be viewed as the medieval counterpart of modern academic interpretations of the Upanisads Vis-à-vis the exegesis of Sankaracarya.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe prevalent view is that Vidyaranya and the Vedic commentator Sayana were brothers. It is further believed that ‘Vidyaranya’ is the ascetic name of Madhavacarya, the very powerful minister n the Kingdom of Vijayanagar which came into existence under his aegis in 1336 A.D. He renounced the world when yet at the height of his worldly powers and became an ascetic, who was the thirty-third occupant of the prestigious seat of Sankaracarya at Srngeri\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taittiriyaka-vidya –prakasah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Vidyaranya \/ Indica Books \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776567390377,"sku":"25488","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/25488_29615a19-a72c-40f3-be76-f2d3a7395b7c.jpg?v=1625518903"},{"product_id":"2601-brahma-sutras-according-to-sri-sankara","title":"Brahma Sutras- According to Sri Sankara","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Swami Vireswarananda\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Advaita Ashram\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1996\/2005\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 512\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8175050063\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith text, this is the first English translation of the text, with word-for-word English rendering and exhaustive notes based mainly on Shankaracharya's commentary, and Tikas on it by scholiasts of his school.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 555 Sutras or aphorisms the Brahma-Sutras systematizes the philosophy of the Upanishads.

It has been translated into English many times since 1785, and has had a profound influence in America, beginning with the transcendentalists and continuing today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is taught in introductory world literature, religion, and Eastern religion courses, and is often prescribed in yoga teacher training courses because it explains the core principles of Vedic philosophy, which are central to yoga practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the currently available translations are in verse and, while well crafted, often do not accurately reflect the forms, sounds, and rhythms of the original. Older scholarly translations convey little feel for language. George Thompson’s intention is to be as accurate and engaging as possible, and to create a translation that has scholarly bona fides, literary sensibility, and greater accuracy than previous translations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe emphasizes the social, historical, literary, and philosophical contexts surrounding the text.

Professor George Thomson has more than twenty years of experience teaching it to students. His Introduction explains the Yoga of the Gita. It is learned without being heavy. Notes and bibliography are helpful and succinct. I recommend this translation without reservation to scholars and teachers of Sanskrit and to beginning students of Indian culture. It remains the most popular book of one of the largest and most creative civilizations of the contemporary world.\"  \u003cbr\u003e—Frits Staal, Professor Emeritus, University of California at Berkeley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The Bhagavad Gita is and has always been a must read for anyone interested in India, ancient or modern. No wonder it has been translated and re-translated into so many languages, English being perhaps the most frequently used medium.  Dr. Thompson's translation is truly novel, because not only does it render the poem's Sanskrit quite differently, but also offers groundbreaking interpretations of many stanzas, even well-known ones.  It retains poetic qualities of the original and is a genuine pleasure to read. Moreover, it fully meets expectations that even the most demanding readers of our time have come to count on in an academic translation: it is precise and thoroughly researched.  The translation and commentary testify to the author's ample erudition. Compelling comments will no doubt be of great service to inquisitive minds who would want to understand the author's approach to translating some of the most difficult Sanskrit passages that are rendered masterfully.

In short, this is a gem that will be appreciated by anyone who wishes to familiarize himself or herself with one of the world's greatest religious and philosophical classics.  It will be of particular interest to those who are studying or practicing Yoga, but will also be warmly welcomed by anyone who wishes to learn more about traditional Indian culture and thought.”\u003cbr\u003e—Victor H.

The central issue is one of belief strong enough to override any other consideration, including one's own death.  George Thompson's translation is clear and luminous; it opens a space of engagement that other translations often miss. I was able to read and think about the Gita as a contemporary text, one arguing in relation to our concerns as well as those of ancient Hinduism.  Thompson's introduction brings out both the background of the Gita and its current relevance.  His translation presents the philosophical\/ethical issues that underly it and brings the Gita to life and to relevance both as historic document and contemporary discourse.
