Synopsis Essence of Dharma Yoga and Spirituality by : Radha Krishan Kumar

Radha Krishna Kumar (Advocate Supreme Court of India ) Available in both Hindi and English versions The man himself is the form of Brahman, but he does not realize it at all. He leaves this world by wasting life in ignorance. The teaching of Upanishads, the teaching of Samkhya (Jnana), Bhakti and Karma Yoga given by Lord Shri Krishna to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita, the teachings of Lord Buddha, the teaching of Yoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali and the verses of Saint Kabir helps us to come out of ignorance and lead us towards the true knowledge. All these teachings of sacred texts and great seers remind us repeatedly about our true nature and advise us to come out of the delusion. Today, due to religious and sectarian narrowness, man is becoming the enemy of his own mankind. Saint Kabir says – ‘Hindu kahe Mohi Ram Pyara, Turk (Muslim) kahe Rahmana, wapas me dou ladi ladi muye, Maram Na Kou Jana.’ Saint Kabir says that The Hindus and Muslims often fight due to communal misunderstanding. The common people are not aware of the true essence of religion. Today there is jealousy, hatred, discontent, anger and negative thoughts everywhere. Day by day humanity and human sensibility is vanishing, which is a threat to human existence. Love, fraternity, happiness, non-violence and compassion are the basis for making human life meaningful, which can be created only through spirituality and yoga. The author through this book has tried to present the essence of religion, yoga and spirituality on the basis of the sacred scriptures, authentic texts and the thoughts of sages, so that the darkness of confusion and ignorance can be removed from human mind and positive thoughts may be generated in the world. In this book the characteristics of Dharma, God, soul, maya (delusion), avidya (ignorance), law of karma and the principle of reincarnation have been discussed. All religions, spirituality and yoga have been explained in detail so that this book can be useful for every human being. A person knows many things about this world, but he is ignorant about himself. He doesn’t know his true nature. Is man just a body made of the five elements, mind, the five sense organs, the five karma organs, or is he a form of Brahman? The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says that ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ which means I am Brahman. The Chandogya Upanishad says that ‘Tat tvam Asi’, ‘Tatvamasi’ means that Brahman is in you, in me and in all living beings. The Aitareya Upanishad says – ‘Pragyan Brahman’, that is, the realization of Brahman is the true knowledge. However, a man can realize his Brahman form only in the state of Samadhi.

Synopsis Essence of the Bhagavad Gita by : Eknath Easwaran

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.
