TAT SAT
(A Comprehensive Treatise on Advaita Vedanta.)
Details
The Brahman, the Supreme Being, is referred to by three words OM, Tat and Sat. The Brahman is the ultimate reality. It is pure consciousness devoid of all attributes (nirguna) and all categories of the intellect (nirvisesa). Being associated with Its potency (Maya), The Brahman appears as the qualified one, Saguna Brahman, or the Lord (Iswara) who is the Creator, Preserver or Destroyer of the world which is nothing, but His appearance. It is thus, because of Maya, the Brahman is said to be the Creator of the world.
DHARMA
(A Comprehensive Treatise on all aspects of Dharma including Ethics.)
Details
The word Dharma is derived from the Sanskrit root dhr, to mean ‘sustain, support, uphold’. It is variously defined as nature, the law of nature, that which supports, virtue, ethical law. This book deals in detail the principles of Sanathanadharma in life
LIVING IN SPIRIT
(A Comprehensive Treatise on the Precept and Practice of Sanathana-dharma – the Mother of all Religions.)
Details
The eternal religion is Sanatana-dharma, the Philosophy of Eternity and the Religion of Humanity. It is as old as God; it is not confined to any time and place; and it is now everywhere. The word ‘religion’, in its original meaning, is something that binds, and it is literally true in respect of Sanatana-dharma.
Daily Update on LIVING IN SPIRIT
Details
Buddhism arose more than 2500 years ago in India in an atmosphere of great philosophical ferment. It was the atmosphere in which the sacrificial religion was systematised in the Mimamsa, the philosophical ideas of the Upanisads were crystallized.
Details
‘The Upanisads are Vedanta, a book of knowledge in a higher degree even than the Veda, but knowledge in the profounder Indian sense of the word, Jnana. And because it is only by an integral knowing of the Self that this kind of direct knowledge can be made complete, it was the Self the Vedantic sages sought to know, to live in and to be one with IT by identity. And through this endeavor, they came easily to see that the self in us is one with the Universal Self of all things and that this self again is the same as God and the Brahman, a transcendent Being or Existence; and they beheld, felt, lived in the inmost truth of man´s inner and outer existence by the light of this one and unifying vision. The Upanisads are epic hymns of ‘self-knowledge’, world-knowledge and God-knowledge’ in the words of Sri Aurobindo
Details
Sri Aurobindo puts the question: ‘Is there at all, or is there still the secret of the Veda?’
We have in the Rig-veda Samhita, a body of sacrificial hymns couched in a very ancient language. The hymns present a number of almost insoluble difficulties. ‘Yet these obscure and barbarous compositions have had the most splendid good fortune in all literary history. They have been the reputed source not only of some of the world’s richest and profoundest religions, but of some of its subtlest metaphysical philosophies’, in the words of Sri Aurobindo.
Details
The Ethics of Vidura is in the nature of a dialogue between Dhritarashtra and Vidura contained in chapters 33 to 40 of Udyoga-Parva of the Mahabharata.
This is a precursor to the Sanat-sujata-Gita which is an exposition of the concept of the Brahman as propounded in the Vedanta in its entirety.
In the world of classical literature, the Mahabharata is unique in many respects. As an epic, it is the greatest in all literatures. It is considered the mightiest single human endeavor of literary creation of any culture in human history. The effort to conceive the mind that conceived it is itself considered great education. It is the stupendous ocean of all-embracing knowledge. It is a wonderful production bench-marking the high state of Indian civilization long before the Christian era.
Ekam Sat Series
Ekam Sat is the name of the series of Gita literature other than Bhagavad-Gita in five volumes, containing 19 Gitas. Volume 1 carries a detailed exposition of Monism, too. The translation into English of each sloka (verse) of the Gitas in Sanskrit is rendered corresponding to the verse in each chapter of the Gita concerned. Explanatory paragraphs are added to each translated verse, wherever considered necessary, to elaborate the essence of the content of the verses from the point of view of Monism.
EKAM SAT 1
(Free translation of Ashtavakra-Gita and Avadhuta-Gita with a monograph on Monism)
Details
The Gita literature in Sanskrit is the spontaneous outpouring of the sages and seers that have realized the Self. It is the expression of their direct experience of the Divine-the Self, the Brahman, the Atman in whatever way IT is apprehended in their supreme consciousness. It is, therefore, no surprise that every Gita sets realization of the Self as its ideal. All of them point to one Truth, the only Truth-Ekam Sat. The Gita literature has been in the nature of solid support to the monistic Vedanta philosophy. The thrust of the Gita literature is an unfolding of the ultimate Truth which is the final objective of all philosophy, but which for ever eludes its grasp.
