Brama Samhita: The Eternal Veda

Lord Brahma saw Krsna directly and composed a prayer based on his realizations – a striking prayer by one who has seen the truth.   Krsna revealed himself to Brama, along with his spiritual planets. Overwhelmed by this transcendental revelation, Brama spoke these words glorifying Krsna. Brama’s awe and love permeate the text and reveal the workings of the cosmic creation.   The Brama Samhita teaches that transcendence, truth, and ultimate reality can be apprehended only by the mercy of the supreme transcendent entity, the Absolute Truth Himself, and that perception of ultimate reality is a function not of speculative reason but of direct spiritual cognition through divine revelation. This collection is taken from the fifth chapter of the Hymns of Brama, and includes verses 1 to 29.. There were 100 chapters in the Brama Samhita. This 5th chapter of the Brama Samhita was discovered by Lord Chaitanya. The other chapters have not yet been revealed. The Brama-samhita clearly describes Brahman. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Brahman because of His unlimited knowledge, unlimited potencies, unlimited strength, unlimited influence, unlimited beauty, and unlimited renunciation. Ultimately, therefore, the word Brahman can be applied to Kṛṣṇa only.    Because the impersonal Brahman is the effulgence emanating as rays of Kṛṣṇa’s transcendental body, Kṛṣṇa is the Parabrahman. Everything rests on Brahman, but Brahman rests upon Kṛṣṇa. The material elements are accepted as the inferior energy of Kṛṣṇa. By their interaction, the cosmic manifestation takes place, rests on Kṛṣṇa, and after dissolution again enters into the body of Kṛṣṇa as His subtle energy. Kṛṣṇa is therefore the cause of both manifestation and dissolution. Translator and commentator Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati was a Gaudīya Vaisnava Hindu guru, ācārya, and revivalist in early 20th century India.

[Marathi] - Khilafat Chalval खिलाफत चळवळ

To attract Muslims who were usually indifferent to the freedom movement, some Hindu leaders in the Congress had to make significant concessions. Mahatma Gandhi's active involvement created a sense of unity between Hindus and Muslims. This global and Islamic context resulted in the Khilafat Movement. Even after decades, there is still social unrest related to this movement. Understanding the mindset it created remains relevant. Dr. Shrirang Godbole, an expert in Islam and the Islamic world, has thoroughly analyzed the Khilafat Movement, making the book highly valuable due to its comprehensive context. स्वातंत्र्यचळवळीपासून नेहमीच अलिप्त राहणाच्या मुस्लिमांना आकृष्ट करण्यासाठी पडेल ते मूल्य चुकते करण्यासाठी काँग्रेसचे काही हिंदू नेते धडपडत होते. महात्मा गांधींनी या चळवळीला सक्रिय पाठिंबा दिल्यामुळे हिंदू-मुस्लिम एकीचा आभास निर्माण झाला. जागतिक आणि इस्लामी जगतातील घडामोडींप्रमाणे खिलाफत चळवळीचा प्रवास झाला.खिलाफत चळवळीला शंभर वर्षे होऊन गेल्यावरही तिच्यासंबंधी समाजात संभ्रम आहे. तिला चालना देणारी मानसिकता आजही जिवंत असल्यामुळे तिला जाणून घेणे प्रासंगिक आहे.पुस्तकाचे लेखक डॉ. श्रीरंग गोडबोले इस्लाम आणि इस्लामी जगताचे अभ्यासक असून त्यांनी खिलाफत चळवळीचा हा व्यापक पट सत्यान्वेषणाच्या भूमिकेतून मांडला आहे. त्यांचे प्रतिपादन साधार असल्यामुळे पुस्तकाला संदर्भमूल्य आहे.

Vivekananda: Chicago Addresses

Swami Vivekananda made an unforgettable impression upon religious minds in America at the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893. He spoke of the harmony of religions and the innate divinity of every human soul. The swami taught that true harmony of religions is based on the spiritual oneness of existence. There is one life that pulsates in the whole universe. Spiritual oneness transcends the limitations of race, culture, creed, and dogma. Swami Vivekananda said that the further we move away from God, the greater will seem the differences between one religion and another. The nearer we move to God, the closer we shall feel to other religions. When Swami Vivekananda spoke of all religions being different denominations of one universal religion, the religion of God-consciousness, people realized that he was a world teacher. All religions belong to one and the same family of God. Swami Vivekananda (1863 – 1902) has been recognized as India’s first cultural ambassador to America and the West. His words have the power to inspire weary souls and strengthen our faith in ourselves. This book offers a short introduction by Swami Adiswarananda (1925 – 2007). The introduction explains the essential teachings of Yoga and Vedanta as taught by Swami Vivekananda, especially the idea of the divinity of the soul. By following religious practices such as meditation and service to our fellow human beings, we do not generate or acquire divinity, but gain faith in ourselves. We gain faith in the reality of God, and we recognize the divinity in every one of us and all of nature.
