Does immortality mean clinging to body? If so, it cannot be the life artificially alive as in modern hospitals. Is extinction of species important? The recent developments in the field of molecular biology to clone the extinct animals may raise another dimension: do the species ever die? Death is not the extinction of life; it rather opens a horizon for new journey on this planet or the other. If a person elevates himself and immensely contributes to the society, he gets perpetuated and becomes immortal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery culture has its own eschatology erring with death, rituals, customs, beliefs and values. While the Hindus and the Buddhists adhere to the theory of reincarnation, the Muslims and the Christians hold the concept of eternal after life. In the present book, originally the proceedings of the seminar organized by the N K Bose Memorial Foundation, Varanasi, various distinguished scholars have richly contributed in presenting an in-depth study of the concept of death from the distinct viewpoint of all religions and cultures and at the same time taking into account their common concept of continuity of life after death in contrary to the biological science that adheres to the mechanism of cell-death. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the social, philosophical, medical, and ayurvedic approaches to death, the existence of soul based on the ideas of immortality and ancestor-worship has been further validated.

And, without taking any a priori intellectual position, each author here evolves his\/her own tradition-specific perspective on mysticism-letting the comparisons, if any, to surface in the dialogue itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA spiritual dialogue, like the one this multi-author work embodies, holds a key to an insightful understanding between different people, cultures and faiths - more specially in today’s world riven, as it is, by fundamentalist forces and endless religious conflicts.

But for a foreign language like English which has its own culture and tradition, myths and beliefs and idioms and usage, to find the exact correspondence in words and their nuances is not an easy task. Any attempt to translate into it from an Indian language is, therefore, beset with great difficulties unless the translator is thoroughly at home in both the languages. Moreover, poetry translated into a foreign language often loses its élan. A great poem loses its poignancy and subtlety, even irony and humour in translation and, more often than not, fail to create the same impact on foreign minds as it has done in its native milieu. No translation can ever be a perfect mirror of the original. This aspect should be kept in mind while reading Mr. Das’s translation of Kabir’s dohas, padas and poems into English. He has tired to keep as close to the original form and meaning as possible in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor’s Preface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMind \u003cbr\u003eForgiveness\u003cbr\u003eSorrow\u003cbr\u003eBenevolence\u003cbr\u003eAttachment\u003cbr\u003eRitualism\u003cbr\u003eParopkar or Assistance\u003cbr\u003eSelf-Surrender\u003cbr\u003ePreceptor\u003cbr\u003eAnger\u003cbr\u003eCrookedness\u003cbr\u003ePride\u003cbr\u003eSatsang or Association\u003cbr\u003eGreed\u003cbr\u003eBegging\u003cbr\u003eWords of Mouth\u003cbr\u003eCaste and Clan\u003cbr\u003eDeath\u003cbr\u003eDeeds and Their Outcome\u003cbr\u003eDevotion\u003cbr\u003eLust\u003cbr\u003eLove\u003cbr\u003eGod Almighty\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"G N Das \/ Writers Workshop \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776514764969,"sku":"22886","price":18.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/22886_cfad4fd0-1a8b-4ba8-9adf-13dc7c6f4246.jpg?v=1625517821"},{"product_id":"23411-the-best-of-speaking-tree-book-three","title":"The Best of Speaking Tree - Book THREE","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Indu Jain\u003cbr\u003eTranslator(s)\/ Edito: Indu Jain\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Times Group Books\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2007\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 150\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8190399543\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Best of Speaking Tree presents a selection of articles from the column, ‘The Speaking Tree’, that appears daily on the edit page of The Times of India.

They range from an exploration of Rita in the Rig Veda and its relation to Yajna and dharma in the subsequent tradition to a reflection upon the influence of the Indian tradition on contemporary spiritual masters such as J. Krishnamurti and G. I. Gurdjieff. Some of the essays deal exclusively with the great texts of India, such as the Yoga Sutra and the Bhagavad Gita, while some deal with the parallels, which can be found with texts from other traditions, such as The Enneads of Plotinus and the Gospel according to Saint John.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther essays discuss the interaction of modern science and the spiritual traditions of India and their impact on the life of humanity. Ravindra is at home in the East and in the West; he understands hymns in Vedic Sanskrit and nuances of relativistic cosmology, and he brings insights from both sources. He shares his passionate inquiry about the meaning and purpose of human life and of the cosmos that we might discover if we could hear more subtly and see more deeply. In this, he exhibits a remarkable impartiality which searches for and delights in truth and wisdom wherever they can be found, without an argument for or an exclusive interest in any sect, religion or tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Editor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDHARMA, RELIGION AND THE WORLD\u003cbr\u003eReligion in the Global Village\u003cbr\u003eAlternative Oneself\u003cbr\u003eThe Spiritual Quest\u003cbr\u003eThe Problems of Modernization in Hinduism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYOGA AND THE TEACHING OF KRISHNA\u003cbr\u003eTeaching of Krishna, Master of Yoga\u003cbr\u003eYoga: The Royal Path to Freedom\u003cbr\u003eThe Dimensions of the Self: Buddhi in the \u003cbr\u003e    Bhagavadgita and Psyche in Plotinus\u003cbr\u003eIs Religion Psychotherapy?

In order to realize Brahman as transcendent consciousness it is at first necessary to negate the world as neti, neti, ‘not this’ not this’. But after realizing transcendent consciousness, one comes back to the world and sees that Brahman itself has become the whole universe. Sri Ramakrishna gives an example to illustrate this point: a person who wants to reach the roof of a house at first leaves behind the steps of the staircase one after the other. But after reaching the roof when he comes down, he finds that the steps of the staircase are also made of the same material as the roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublisher’s Note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINAGURAL SESSION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWelcome Address\u003cbr\u003eSWAMISARVABHUTANANDA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInaugural Address\u003cbr\u003eSWAMI PRABHANANDA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeynote Address\u003cbr\u003ePROFESSOR P.

With OBEs defined and placed in the context of consciousness continuum, these various states of awareness can provide entryways to alternate realities.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Astral Odyssey’ guides us through the pathways of consciousness that lead to the invisible worlds around us, giving step-by-step procedures on how to do actual, voluntary, conscious astral projection.  But Eby does more than just teach astral travel—she provides instructions for attaining all the necessary states of consciousness, tells how each may be used to derive valuable benefits in daily life, such as improved psychological balance, solutions to problems, increased creativity, and enhanced power of extrasensory perception.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded are never-before-published examples of OBEs and an OBE diary that describes, in vivid detail, the sights, sounds, sensations, and thoughts associated with actual visits to the astral plane.  We discover that astral travel allows a new perspective of both the universe and the role that human experience plays in it.  With this first-hand knowledge of the existence of nonphysical worlds and their entities, physical life can become more meaningful, creative, and joyful!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1\u003cbr\u003eDiscovery of a Hidden Realm\u003cbr\u003eOBEs and Psychopathy\u003cbr\u003eConscious OBEs and Dreams\u003cbr\u003eLaboratory Evidence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 2\u003cbr\u003eThe Mind Spectrum\u003cbr\u003eHistorical Perspective\u003cbr\u003eSleep Studies\u003cbr\u003eThe Dream Continuum\u003cbr\u003eIntegrating the Mind Spectrum\u003cbr\u003eThe Higher Self\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 3\u003cbr\u003eJourney to the Center of the Self\u003cbr\u003eDream Recall\u003cbr\u003eDream Interpretation\u003cbr\u003eDream Induction\u003cbr\u003eDream Intervention\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 4\u003cbr\u003eThe Labyrinth of Consciousness\u003cbr\u003eExploration of the Hypnagogic and Hypnopompic States\u003cbr\u003ePassage to Invisible Realms\u003cbr\u003eCreative Inspiration\u003cbr\u003eMental Projection\u003cbr\u003eTransition State ESP\u003cbr\u003eDual Consciousness\u003cbr\u003eLucid Dreams\u003cbr\u003eOBEs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 5\u003cbr\u003eInvisible Worlds\u003cbr\u003eAn Esoteric Model of Reality\u003cbr\u003eDenizens of Invisible Worlds\u003cbr\u003eInvisible Bodies\u003cbr\u003eContrasting Perceptions\u003cbr\u003eAstral Adventures\u003cbr\u003eThe Astral Body\u003cbr\u003eAstral Encounters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 6\u003cbr\u003eBetween Worlds\u003cbr\u003eMethods of inducing OBEs\u003cbr\u003eCrossing the Boundary\u003cbr\u003eReturn to the Physical Side\u003cbr\u003eSpecific Procedures to Project the Astral Body\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 7\u003cbr\u003eThe Cabin Projections\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 8\u003cbr\u003eThe Storefront House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 9\u003cbr\u003eThe Town House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 10\u003cbr\u003eMerging worlds\u003cbr\u003eOpposing Opinions\u003cbr\u003eBenefits of OBEs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Carol Eby \/ Motilal Banarsidass \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776679162025,"sku":"6868","price":17.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/6868_50603ef7-7a39-48bf-aedc-b5ff36115021.jpg?v=1625521112"},{"product_id":"7255-man","title":"Man","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Rabindranath Tagore\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Rupa\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2002\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 75\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8171678475\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book consists of three lectures delivered in 1933 at Andhra University.
