Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. ABOUT THE BOOK Srimad Bhagavad Gita has been a source of inspiration and enlightenment for generations. The message of the Gita is not merely a general spiritual philosophy or ethical doctrine but it has a bearing upon the practical aspects in the application of such principles in our day-to-day lives. It is indeed "A Users' Manual for the Practice of the Art of Right Living". The Bhagavad Gita was first translated into English by Charles Wilkins in 1785 and published by the British East India Company with an introduction by Lord Warren Hastings, the first British Governor-General of India, in which he prophetically wrote: "The writers of the Indian philosophies will survive when the British Dominion in India shall long have ceased to exist, and when the sources which it yielded of wealth and power are lost to remembrance". He further wrote "I hesitate not to pronounce the Gita's performance of great originality, of sublimity of conception, reasoning and diction almost unequalled and a single exception amongst all the known religions of mankind". The radiance of such Bhagavad Gita is being presented by the author to the readers of the modern generation covering the subject in an informal style with Sanskrit Text, transliteration, their lucid translation and explanatory notes spread over eighteen chapters. The author has steered clear off all the scholastic debates and intellectual controversies with a view to reach out to the average modern educated young people who require the strength of the Gita to wade through the current day troubled waters. The language employed is very plain and down to earth with no frills attached with a view to help the readers at the early stages of their life to understand the essential message of the Gita so that they will blossom into integrated grown-ups full of equanimity of mind, speech and action. Their needs in the context of the present day living styles and habits of study have been kept in view in this process. Hence this presentation is through individual chapters although the author has published the same work as a whole earlier. The present booklet deals with the 1st Chapter of the Gita wherein, on seeing his friends and relatives standing against each other on the two sides, Arjuna loses his will to fight the war and becomes despondent on the battlefield of Kurukshetra despite his earlier preparedness for that war.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. ABOUT THE BOOK Srimad Bhagavatam is one of the greatest books in Hinduism emphasizing Bhakti or devotion. Immensely popular all over India, it has inspired poets, saints and artists, as it provides a great range of material for their art. It enthralls the mind and turns it away from Samsara, the mundane world, towards the Lord. Every word of it speaks of His Leelas, plays and activities, embedded with the teachings of the Vedas. The author lucidly explains the importance of Puranas as a part of Vedic literature and the exalted position of Srimad Bhagavatam as the Mahapurana which is the word-form of Bhagavan Sri Krishna. As the glories of Bhagavan's incarnations are highlighted, the crown-jewel of incarnations, avataras - Sri Krishna Avatara is introduced as the child of Mother Yashoda, the cowherd-lover-boy of the Gopikas and the teacher for Arjuna and Uddhava. While Bhakti-rasa or significance of the essence of devotion is given precedence, the Vedantic teachings are highlighted in Srimad Bhagavatam by portraying the Bhagavan as an embodiment of Jnana, Knowledge. To reveal the glory of this Mahapurana, the author explores the hidden teachings behind the verses or slokas as he briefly encapsulates the gist of each canto. Reflective of the extensive research involved in shaping this work, various slokas are quoted from Srimad Bhagavatam along with their parallels drawn from other Vedic Texts like the Upanishads, Patanjali Yogasutras, Srimad Bahagavad Gita etc. These instances reveal that at the heart of Srimad Bhagavatam is the Advaita Philosophy which is quintessence of the entire ocean of Vedic Knowledge. Besides providing a glimpse into the splendid world of Srimad Bhagavatam, the book gives the mind a taste of Bhagavan's farewell speech called Uddhava Gita contained in its 11th canto. It is the final message given by Lord Krishna to his friend and devotee Uddhava before his departure from the earth to console him from his sadness explaining why the "Yadu" race or Yadava community should fall. In Uddhava Gita Krishna explains about, spirituality, religion, code of conduct for various classes of society and stages of life, supremacy of devotion, different paths to enlightenment, the mind as a root cause for all miseries of life and many other similar subjects. This work concludes with a hymn or prayer called "Gajendra Moksha", addressed to Lord Vishnu by Gajendra, the King Elephant. It is a legend from the 8th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam where Lord Vishnu comes down to earth to protect Gajendra (King Elephant) from the clutches of death of a Crocodile. It is one of the popular hymns of bhakti or devotion from the Bhagavat Mahapuran, superbly embellished with the jnana, knowledge and vairagya, dispassion of the Upanishads.
