 The
Holy Vedas (Hardcover) by Pandit Satyakam Vidyalankar.
The author has tried to retain the spirit of the original
Sanskrit mantras in English renderings and to impart some of the
holy ambience of these sacred texts which are the fountainhead
of Hindu philosophy and culture. In this book, selected Vedic
hymns have been classified into six sections consisting of the
hymns on Creation, Devotion, Revelation, Action, Splendour, and
Positive Sciences. You can read the book from cover to cover,
but please don't rush. You can also select a section in any
order you want. Or you can randomly open a page and enjoy. And
don't forget to keep sticky notes with you because you would
want to mark pages and verses, so that you could come back and
read them again and again. (Reproduced from the Reviews at

 Wisdom
of the Vedas by J. C. Chatterji "This incredibly
informative and concise book explains the deepest, most profound
beliefs in clear simple terms. Beautifully written, there is
nothing excessive about the prose. Every page contains important
information explaining everything you need to know about God and
life and the nature of the universe. (Reviewer: Bacchus
(Philadelphia, PA United States) I give my highest
recommendation to this book. It was my first introduction to
Vedic philosophy and I found it to be an excellent one. It
explains the existence of the world and God in a way that
accords with physics, string theory, and science despite the
fact that this philosophy was developed 4,000 years ago or more.
I was also fascinated to read about the connections with
Buddhism and Christianity.(Reviewer: Diana Campbell (Berkeley,
CA United States)) |
 Contemporary
Ayurveda: Medicine and Research in Maharishi Ayur-Veda.
This book aims to present a coherent exploration and review of
both the principles and practice of MAV, as well as the research
outcomes which support and illuminate practice. It is not a
treatment manual, but it does present a foundation for
understanding the principles and practice of MAV, both within
specific medical specialties and generally in health promotion
and disease prevention. The text reviews core aspects of
pathogenesis and diagnosis in MAV, details daily and seasonal
routines for disease prevention and describes purification
therapies. |
 Secret
of the Veda, by Aurobindo. Sri Aurobindo breaks new
ground in interpreting the ancient Vedas. His deeper insight
into this came from his own spiritual practices for which he
found vivid allegorical descriptions in the Vedas. The hidden
meaning of the rig Veda is revealed with numerous translations
and commentary. Many have been perplexed by the reverence
accorded to the Vedas when they read past commentaries or
translations. Sri Aurobindo was able to uncover the mystery of
the double meanings, the inner psychological and yogic
significance and practices and the consistent, clear sense
brought by this psychological view of the Vedic hymns. Finally,
the true inner meaning of the Veda and its relevance to the
seeking after self-realization and enlightenment is revealed. |
Vedic
Astrology: A Guide to the Fundamentals of Jyotish by
Ronnie Gale Dreyer.  Vedic
Astrology has to be the most thoughtfully organized book
dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the Parasara method of
Jyotish, "the science of light." Jyotish transcends
the limitations of a logical approach to astrology, reaching
into the realm of abstractions and intuition to comprehend the
spirit. Ronnie Gale Dreyer goes through the common missteps and
maps out the pitfalls that plague novices, and her more than 20
years of study put this complex and sometimes overwhelming
subject within reach of the Western astrologer. |
 The
Book of the Vedas: Timeless Wisdom from Indian Tradition
by Virender Kumar Arya. A concise, clearly written introduction
to the world?s most complex religion, The Book of the Vedas
provides an inspirational and easily followed guide to the
mysteries of the Hindu faith. Exploring the Hindu pantheon, it
introduces the fascinating gods and goddess who are worshipped
in homes and temples all over India?from Shiva, the ascetic with
matted hair, to Devi, the mother goddess who holds the whole
universe within her womb. The Book of the Vedas identifies the
philosophy at the heart of Hinduism, explaining concepts such as
rebirth, karma or ?path of action,? dharma or ?right living,?
and the principles underpinning the true practice of yoga. It
discusses the classic texts of Hinduism?the Vedas and the
Upanishads?and its great poetic epics, the Ramayana and the
Mahabhrata (which contains the famous Bhagavad Gita). Looking at
the historical development of Hinduism from ancient times, the
book culminates by placing the faith in its modern context. It
examines the cultural backdrop to Hinduism?marriage and burial
customs, the caste system, pilgrimage, festivals, and much more.
With colorful illustrations on every page, this enthralling
volume provides explanation and inspiration for everyone who
wants to find out more about one of the world?s greatest
religions. |
