The Mahabharata & the Yugas {India’s Great Epic Poem & the Mindu System of World Ages} by Luis Gonzalea-Reimann
Other Religion Books
Cyclical Time in Hinduism :- An important aspect of Hindu notions of time (as well as those of Buddhism & Jainism) is the perception that everything moves in endlessly recurring cycles. The starting point of these ideas is probably to be found in three fundamental astronomical cycles that were very important in the Vedic period: the day, the lunar month, & the year. These seved as models for increasingly larger time cycles that were considered to influence everything on Earth, from plants to human beings, & from human emotions to social & religious institions & teachings. We could that this cyclical view of the world finds expression on two levels: the microcosmic level, that is, the cyclical process as it affects the indivdual; & the macrocosmic level, which deals with the large cycles of social transformation & creation & destruction. At the microcosmic level, everyone is subject to a constant rotation in the world of living being. Life, death & rebirth go on ceaselessly in the wheel of worldly existence, samsara. Transmigration affects every living entity, from a plant all the way up to the gods. We all erincarnate, whether upwards or downwards alond the scale, according to our actions in our present & past lives. The only out of the endlessly rotating wheel of time is spiritual liberation, moksa.
495/=THE MIND OF ADI SHANKARACHARYA [Y.Keshava menon]
Other Religion Books
Through he is considered one of the foremost of india’s philosophers, Shankara is also one of the most misunderstood.Much of the misunderstanding of shankara’s position may be due to the absense of a lucid presentation may be due to the absence of a lucid presentation of his life & works in a comprehensive & readable form. This short monograph is an attempt to meet that need for the benefit of those who have no previous acquaintance with philosophy. Shankara was one of the most subtle of Indian philosophers, & though for him intellectual dexterity was not an ead in itself, the reader will find some reasoning worthy of his steel in the following pages.
175/=THE DAILY PRACTICE OF THE HINDUS (S.C. SASU)
Other Religion Books
In this book both the Vaidiki & Tantriki Sandhyas are given. All twice-boon persons are entitled to the first; while the Tantriki is meant for all manking, without distinction of caste, race or creed. The Yajur Vedi Sandhya is based upon the text published by Pandit Devi Datt Joshi. It is an excellent hand-book. A chapter on the Sandhya of the Rig-Vedins as well as one on the Tantriki Sandhya is added. In the present edition, the Mid day Duties, namely, the worship of Visnu, Siva,ets., is also given, as well as the Five Great Sacrifices. The book is more then double the size of the last edition. I have consulted, in giving commentary on the Vedic mantras, the Anandasrama series also. The translation of the Vedic mantras is, in many cases, my own &, in some instances, taken from Griffith, Max Muller, Whitney, & Perterson. My sons-in-law, Babu Nandala Sinha, M.A., B.L., & Professor Lalit Mohan Kar, Kavyatirtha, M.A., B.L., press.

On the other, access has been cleared to vast reserves of unedited and unpubished sources. This book is a collection of essays whichdocument in their own way the author's personal journey in these years through parts of the Saiva and, to some extent, the Vaisnava Tantras.
