Bhagvat gita
गीता आध्यात्मिकता का सर्वाधिक आकर्षक परिचय है, क्योंकि भगवद्गीता की पृष्ठभूमि में युद्धक्षेत्र और दो भाइयों के बीच युद्ध है। इसका सबसे बड़ा कारण है कि यह उपदेश जंगल में नहीं दिया गया, €योंकि जंगल में मन और विवेक के मध्य विवाद की आवश्यकता ही नहीं है। जंगल में जा भी वही सकता है, जिसने मन को जीत लिया है; जिसने मन को नहीं जीता हो, वह जंगल में होते हुए भी जंगल में नहीं हो सकता, इसलिए यह युद्ध के मध्य का विषय है। सारा जीवन युद्ध का मैदान ही तो है और तुम्हें उसी में सही और गलत के मध्य खड़े रहना है। यह युद्ध दो शत्रुओं के मध्य नहीं, दो भाइयों के मध्य है। सबसे बड़ा विषाद यहीं खड़ा होता है, क्योंकि दो अपनों में ही, मन और विवेक के मध्य युद्ध होता है, जबकि शत्रु के लिए यह तो सीधी सी बात है; उससे तो तुम लड़ ही पड़ोगे, पर यह मनमोहक है। जब युद्ध की बात शुरू होती है, तब अर्जुन बीच में पहुँच जाता है और रथ में बैठकर अपने सामने वालों को देखता है; फिर कहता है, मैं युद्ध नहीं लड़ूँगा। अब उसके सामने दो विरोधाभास (Two Paradoxes) आते हैं। अर्जुन युद्ध से निवृत्त होना चाहता है, पर श्रीकृष्ण उसे युद्ध के लिए प्रेरित करते हुए कहते हैं, ‘क्या बात करता है? उठ, खड़ा हो! युद्ध कर! तुम्हें चाहिए कि तुम उन्हें मार डालो, तुम्हें उठ खड़ा होना चाहिए। क्या तू नपुंसकों की तरह व्यवहार कर रहा है?’ और जब अर्जुन युद्ध करने को तैयार हो जाता है तो श्रीकृष्ण उससे कहते हैं—‘बिना किसी घृणा भाव से लड़ो; बिना किसी ईष्र्या-द्वंद के युद्ध करो।’

Relationships by Sadhguru
Emotion “One can make any emotion into a creative force in one’s life.” – Sadhguru It’s not just poetic license that allows us to refer to emotions as “juicy”. In a literal sense also, emotions are a chemical cocktail that course through our bodies. But while we have no problems with pleasant emotions, unpleasant emotions are the source of much angst in our lives. In Emotion: The Juice of Life, Sadhguru looks at the gamut of human emotions and how to turn them into stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks. Relationships “If you enhance yourself into a very beautiful state, everyone will want to hold a relationship with you.” – Sadhguru Human beings constantly make and break relationships. Unfortunately, relationships can make and break human beings too. Why are relationships such a circus for most of us? What is this primal urge within us that demands a bond – physical, mental, or emotional – with another? And how do we keep this bond from turning into bondage? These are the fundamental questions that Relationships: Bond or Bondage looks at as Sadhguru shares with us the keys to forming lasting and joyful relationships, whether they are with husband or wife, family and friends, at work, or with the very existence itself. Sadhguru is a yogi and profound mystic of our times. An absolute clarity of perception places him in a unique space in not only matters spiritual but in business, environmental and international affairs, and opens a new door on all that he touches.

My Gita My Gita
In My Gita, acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary reader. His unique approach—thematic rather than verse-by-verse—makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible, combined as it is with his trademark illustrations and simple diagrams.In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships. This becomes relevant today when we are increasingly indulging and isolating the self (self-improvement, self-actualization, self-realization—even selfies!).We forget that we live in an ecosystem of others, where we can nourish each other with food, love and meaning, even when we fight.So let My Gita inform your Gita.

Librarian's note: There is an Alternate Cover Edition for this edition of this book here.Psychiatrist Dr Brian Weiss had been working with Catherine, a young patient, for eighteen months. Catherine was suffering from recurring nightmares and chronic anxiety attacks. When his traditional methods of therapy failed, Dr Weiss turned to hypnosis and was astonished and sceptical when Catherine began recalling past-life traumas which seemed to hold the key to her problems.Dr Weiss's scepticism was eroded when Catherine began to channel messages from 'the space between lives', which contained remarkable revelations about his own life. Acting as a channel for information from highly evolved spirit entities called the Masters, Catherine revealed many secrets of life and death.This fascinating case dramatically altered the lives of Catherine and Dr Weiss, and provides important information on the mysteries of the mind, the continuation of life after death and the influence of our past-life experiences on our present behaviour.(back cover)
An introduction to Indian philosophy author - s.chatterjee and d.datta
An Introduction to Indian Philosophy, termed by Srila Prabhupada as 'very authoritative', while introducing the reader to the spirit, vast ocean of knowledge and outlook of Indian philosophy, also helps him to grasp thoroughly the central ideas. Philosophy, in its widest etymological sense, means 'love of knowledge'. It tries to search for knowledge of himself, the world and God, and describes the Indian way of life as we know it. Indian philosophy denotes the philosophical speculations of all Indian thinkers, ancient or modern, Hindus or non-Hindus, theists or atheists. Some believe 'Indian philosophy' to be synonymous with 'Hindu philosophy', however, this would be true only if the word 'Hindu' were taken in the geographical sense of 'Indian'. But if 'Hindu' means the followers of a particular religious faith known as Hinduism, the supposition would be wrong and misleading. The authors have, with considerable merit, highlighted the significance of Indian views in terms of modern Western thought. An Introduction to Indian Philosophy is a seminal work covering topics as varied as the Carvaka, Jain, Vaisesika, Mimamsa, Buddha, Sankhya Systems, amongst others.
