The Bhagavad Gita

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Bhagavadgita is one phase of the Tripod of Indian philosophy and culture, the other two phases being the Upanishads and the Brahmasutras. While the Upanishads lay the foundation of the loftiest reach possible for humanity and the Brahmasutras logically elucidate the intricate issues involved in the Upanishads, the Bhagavadgita blends together the Transcendent and the Immanent features of the Ultimate Reality, bringing together into an integrated whole knowledge and action, the inner and the outer, the individual and the society, man and God, all which are portrayed as facets of a universal Operation, presenting entire life and all life as a perfectly complete organic wholeness, leaving nothing unsaid and attempting to solve every problem of life.

Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita
Author: Ace V. Simpson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9361315412
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
For professionals grappling with the challenges of corporate life, Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita offers a transformative path to overcome self-defeating habits and silence the mind's negative chatter-often the greatest barrier to effective leadership. This book advocates for a leadership style rooted in compassion for followers, stakeholders, and future generations, paving the way for harmonious workplace relationships and environmental stewardship. Moving away from conventional leadership models based on control, it promotes leadership by inspiration. At a time when trust in leadership is waning, this book introduces the concept of linked-leadership-leaders who connect through loving connection or bhakti-yoga with themselves (through self-knowledge), others, nature, and the supreme source. Drawing on the example of Krishna guiding Arjuna's chariot, it redefines leadership as a commitment to service, excellence, and virtuous character, inspiring others to follow suit. Its unique insights help you understand different personality types, motivating individuals according to their nature, and building effective teams for a harmonious and prosperous organizational culture. Ultimately, this book challenges leaders to embrace unity and diversity, achieving sustainable well-being and happiness in their organizations.

Essence of the Bhagavad Gita
Author: Eknath Easwaran
Publisher: Nilgiri Press
ISBN: 1586380680
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
In this companion to his best-selling translation of the Bhagavad Gita, Easwaran explores the essential themes of this much-loved Indian scripture. Placing the Gita in a modern context, Easwaran shows how this classic text sheds light on the nature of reality, the illusion of separateness, the search for identity, and the meaning of yoga. The key message of the Gita is how to resolve our conflicts and live in harmony with the deep unity of life, through the principles of yoga and the practice of meditation. Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition and learned Sanskrit from an early age. A foremost translator and interpreter of the Gita, he taught classes on it for forty years, while living out the principles of the Gita in the midst of a busy family and community life. In the Gita, Sri Krishna, the Lord, doesn’t tell the warrior prince Arjuna what to do: he shows Arjuna his choices and then leaves it to Arjuna to decide. Easwaran, too, shows us clearly how these teachings still apply to us – and how, like Arjuna, we must take courage and act wisely if we want our world to thrive.

Bhagavad Gita Simplified
Author: Saktheedharan Villwamangalam
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 9386073471
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
The Bhagavad Gita Simplified is a collection of poems and translations of the pearls of wisdom delivered by Lord Krishna to rejuvenate Arjuna from inaction on the battle field, as depicted in the Mahabharatha written by Saint Vyasa. It is the essence of the ancient epic and vedas condensed into eighteen chapters, with each chapter elaborating on a yoga - a skill. The following chapters are a series of interpretations of the vedic poems for self-upliftment. Sankhya yoga explains the two paths; karma and knowledge. To achieve ultimate knowledge, one should follow both. In karma yoga, the need to perform karma is explained, because karma is the only means to achieve anything. In jnana – karma sanyasa yoga, the need for relinquishment is stressed. The yoga of meditation is very important, as it is said that without meditation, peace and enlightenment is impossible. Thus each chapter teaches a different skill, ultimately leading the reader to God Realization.

The Power of Ethics
Author: T.K.Mishra
Publisher: K.K. Publications
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Most of our precious life is spent in material wrangling and wrestling with the ethical questions of right and wrong – which have no easy answers. This book makes an attempt to enlighten how the great Indian epic the Bhagavad-Gita illuminate our today's ethical dilemmas. Dealing with what is the right or proper course of action for man, the book seeks to answers questions, "What do we do, why do we do and how should we do?" Attempting to study right and wrong in human endeavors at a more fundamental level, it also examines the way we categorize our goals, values and methods to empower ourselves. It further seeks to answer the question, “Is the foundation of ethics based on the scriptures or on the very nature of man himself, or neither?” Ethical standards are arrived at by close examination of man's nature; value systems, his notional needs, day-to-day priorities, including his relations with others. The Bhagavad-Gita, revered as the world's oldest and most authentic scriptures, offers a very clear understanding of the people and explains human conduct very well. Drawing lessons from the Bhagavad-Gita, the book examines the role of ethics in improving performances, meeting one's demands of daily life and building one's relationships or goodwill in the society. Readers will find the analysis of Dharma vis-à-vis Power greatly exciting and insightful. It is a combination of the ethical principles and the value system, the societal and the personal, the academic and the meditative. The book shows that along with other things the Bhagavad-Gita can provide just what modern society needs. Assuming that the readers are not very familiar with scriptures, the book has taken care to explain the essence and core message of the Bhagavad-Gita in a lucid manner. Based upon the teachings, it attempts to introduce a new theory on how to acquire ethics-based power. This book is meant to benefit a learner, an ordinary man or a professional seeking solution to the existential or accomplishment problems arising out of the work-ethic dilemma.

Book Description
The Path Has No Name is the fascinating description of the search for an authentic spiritual life. The longing to be able to live a spiritual life while being in the world--having a career and raising two children--was fulfilled for Annette Kaiser after her encounter with Sufi teacher Irina Tweedie. Annette Kaiser demonstrates that the Sufi path as a path of love does not demand avoidance of the world but rather an active presence in the middle of it; that this path is not about philosophy or religion but rather a way of life that can lead us to our essential nature.
