Conversaciones Con Sri Ramana Maharshi (Tomo I)
Comparta este documento si lo desea, pero hágalo siempre de forma GRATUITA. CONVERSACIONES CON Sri Ramana Maharshi (Tomo I) Conversaciones con Sri Ramana Maharshi (Tomo I) PREFACIO Estas «Conversaciones», publicadas originalmente en tres tomos, se presentan ahora en uno solo. No hay dudad de que la presente edición será recibida por los aspirantes del mundo entero con la misma veneración y respeto que la anterior. Éste no es un libro para leerlo a la ligera y dejarlo de lado; está destinado a proporcionar una guía infalible al creciente número de peregrinos que marchan hacia la Luz Sempiterna. Nuestra profunda gratitud hacia Sri Munagala S. Venkataramiah (actualmente, Swami Ramanananda Saraswati) por el registro que ha conservado de las «Conversacio- nes» que abarca un periodo de cuatro años, desde 1935 a 1939. Aquellos devotos que tuvieron la buena fortuna de ver a Bhagaván Sri Ramana, al leer estas «Conversacio- nes», las rememorarán naturalmente, y recordarán con deleite sus propios registros mentales de las palabras del Maestro. A pesar del hecho de que el gran Sabio de Aruna- chala enseñaba la mayor parte del tiempo a través del silencio, instruía también a través del habla, y eso igualmente, con lucidez y sin desconcertar ni confundir las mentes de quienes lo escuchaban. Uno hubiera deseado que todas las palabras que pronunció se hubieran conservado para la posteridad. Pero tenemos que estar agradecidos por las conversaciones que se han registrado. Se encontrará que estas «Conversaciones» arrojan luz sobre los «Escritos» del Maestro y, probablemente, lo mejor sea estudiarlas junto con los «Escritos», cuyas traducciones es posible obtener. -
THE UNIVERSITY of CENTRAL OKLAHOMA Edmond, Oklahoma Jackson College of Graduate Studies
THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA Edmond, Oklahoma Jackson College of Graduate Studies The Effects of Samatva Yoga on Perceived Stress among University Students in the Midwest A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF SCIENCE By Avy M. Doran Edmond, Oklahoma 2011 COPYRIGHT By Avy M. Doran December 2011 ii Acknowledgements I want to thank Dr. C. Diane Rudebock, Dr. Melissa Powers, and Dr. Jill Devenport for all their guidance, insightfulness, and time. Having the help of a knowledgeable and forthright thesis committee made the thesis process run smoothly. I also want to thank the Department of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Central Oklahoma. Without the assistance of several department faculty and staff, it would have been more difficult to accomplish my goals in such a short time. Your efforts are truly appreciated! iv Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Samatva yoga on perceived stress among university students in the Midwest. Criteria for participants included that participants were students at a University located in a metropolitan area and enrolled in two sections of the 2011 fall yoga courses. The comparison group included participants from the two different universities enrolled in a fall 2011 weight training courses. Weight training was chosen as the comparison group because it was the most closely related form of exercise to yoga. Demographic data were collected on participants before the questionnaires were administered. The questionnaires, Perceived Stress Scales (PSS) and Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) instruments which measure stress and optimism were administered as a pre-test to university students enrolled in yoga and weight training for the fall 2011 semester. -

The Mahabharata Epic, Its Translations and Its Influence on Polish Intellectual Circles and General Readers
Iuvenilia Philologorum Cracoviensium, t. V Źródła Humanistyki Europejskiej 5 Kraków 2012, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego ISBN 978-83-233-3465-1, ISSN 2080-5802 IWONA MILEWSKA Instytut Orientalistyki UJ The Mahabharata Epic, Its Translations and Its Influence on Polish Intellectual Circles and General Readers The Mahabharata, one of the two most famous Indian or, to be more precise, Sanskrit epics, is up till modern days not fully known to Polish intellectuals nor to general readers. It is, among other reasons, due to the lack of its comprehen- sive translation into Polish. Even if the general information about Sanskrit literature, and in particular about the epics, or the Mahabharata, was circulating throughout Europe since the turn of 18th and 19th centuries, its way to Poland was a long one. Nowadays in Poland it is obviously easier to find competent information on India and its literature but still in most cases the detailed descriptions of the Ma- habharata epic are included in books directed to specialists rather than to gen- eral readers not to mention fragments of its direct translations into Polish which are till now extremely rare. It is known that the Europeans became deeply interested in India when the British started to be present there. They were the first to raise the interest in their literature. In this context such names as William Jones, Charles Wilkins or Henry Thomas Colebrooke should be mentioned. Their works, mostly of linguistics character, started to circulate in Europe at the turn of 18 and 19th centuries. In France one of the first scholars who focused also on India was A. -

Translator, Publisher, Ambassador: Wanda Dynowska and Her Indo-Polish Library
Translator, Publisher, Ambassador: Wanda Dynowska and Her Indo-Polish Library Zofia Ziemann Ewa Dębicka-Borek Jagiellonian University The paper discusses the life and work of Wanda Dynowska aka Umadevi (1888- 1971), a Polish theosophist, social activist, journalist, poet, translator and editor, who settled in India in 1935, becoming a tireless promoter of Polish-Indian cultural relations. She translated the Bhagavad Gita into Polish, and in 1944 established (with Maurycy Frydman) the Indo-Polish Library/Biblioteka Polsko-Indyjska, a publishing house which brought out reference works on Indian religion and culture and literary anthologies, translated from Polish into English and from India’s many languages (Sanskrit, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Gujarati) into Polish, mostly via a third language. Although Dynowska is remembered in both her home countries, her translation and publishing work has been taken for granted and never examined to date. Based on yet unresearched archive material (correspondence and personal papers), as well as the translated texts, including their paratextual framing, the authors present Dynowska as an intercultural agent, placing her activity in the context of the Polish- Indian-British historical, cultural and political relations. Particular attention is paid to how she deliberately constructed and promoted the images of Poland and India, seeing a special affinity between the two nations oppressed by powerful empires: Russia and Britain. Dynowska’s unique enterprise of bringing together two distant cultures (semi/peripheral in Heilbron’s terms) by “building a bridge of books between the soul of India and Poland” (as she herself put it) was undoubtedly a commendable effort, but it also be seen as a site of manipulation. -

Text of Resolutions passed by the General Council of the Theosophical Society Freedom of Thought As the Theosophical Society has spread far and wide over the world, and as members of all religions have become members of it without surrendering the special dogmas, teachings and beliefs of their re- spective faiths, it is thought desirable to emphasize the fact that there is no doctrine, no opinion, by whomsoever taught or held, that is in any way binding on any member of the Society, none which any member is not free to accept or reject. Approval of its three Objects is the sole condition of membership. No teacher, or writer, from H. P. Blavatsky onwards, has any authority to impose his or her teachings or opinions on members. Every member has an equal right to follow any school of thought, but has no right to force the choice on any other. Neither a candidate for any office nor any voter can be rendered ineligible to stand or to vote, because of any opinion held, or because of membership in any school of thought. Opinions or beliefs neither bestow privileges nor inflict penalties. The Members of the General Council earnestly request every member of the Theosophical Society to maintain, defend and act upon these fundamental principles of the Society, and also fearlessly to exercise the right of liberty of thought and of expression thereof, within the limits of courtesy and consideration for others. Freedom of the Society The Theosophical Society, while cooperating with all other bodies whose aims and activities make such cooperation possible, is and must remain an organization entirely independent of them, not committed to any objects save its own, and intent on developing its own work on the broadest and most inclusive lines, so as to move towards its own goal as indicated in and by the pursuit of those objects and that Divine Wisdom which in the abstract is implicit in the title ‘The Theosophical Society’. -

It has been accepted for inclusion in Anthropology - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu Baba Bhagawan Ram Ji, a well-established saint of the holy city of Varanasi in north India, initiated many changes into the erstwhile Aghor tradition of ascetics in India. This tradition is regarded as an ancient system of spiritual or mystical knowledge by its practitioners and at least some of the practices followed in this tradition can certainly be traced back at least to the time of the Buddha. Over the course of the centuries practitioners of this tradition have interacted with groups of other mystical traditions, exchanging ideas and practices so that both parties in the exchange appear to have been influenced by the other. Naturally, such an interaction between groups can lead to difficulty in determining a clear course of development of the tradition. In this dissertation I bring together micro-history, hagiography, folklore, religious and comparative studies together in an attempt to understand how this modern day religious-spiritual tradition has been shaped by the past and the role religion has to play in modern life, if only with reference to a single case study. -

UNIT 2 INDIAN SCRIPTURES Contents 2.0 Objectives 2.1 Introduction 2.2 The subject matter of Smriti 2.3 Mythology 2.4 Vedangas 2.5 Epics 2.6 Let Us Sum Up 2.7 Key Words 2.8 Further Readings and References 2.9 Answers to Check Your Progress 2.0 OBJECTIVES In this unit, you are exposed to the sources of Indian culture. However, the study material excludes prominent texts like the Vedas (also called Sruti) sources of the Buddhism and the Jainism since there are other units reserved for these sources. This unit, therefore, includes only the following: smriti, mythology vedangas and epics Since they only belong to the periphery of philosophy, mere cursory reference will suffice. 2.1 INTRODUCTION The word „smriti’ means „that which is in memory.‟ The texts, which are called „smriti’, appeared in written form at the initial stage itself because it was not regarded as blasphemy to put it in written form unlike sruti. The age of smriti, followed the age of Vedas. Since the Vedic period stretches to several centuries, it is also likely that smriti might have appeared during the closing period of the Vedas. Consequently, all smritikaras (the founders of smriti) claimed that their works drew support from the Vedas and also that their works are nothing more than clarifications of the Vedas. However, we can easily discern in smritis lot of variations from Vedas. Evidently, such deviations do not get any support from the Vedas. 2.2 THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SMRITI 1 Smriti is also known as Dharma Shasthra, which means code of conduct. -
Talks with Ramana Maharshi
Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi Volume III 3rd January, 1938 Talk 439. D.: Rama asks: “Brahman being Pure, how can maya arise from Him and veil Him also? “Vasishta replies: “In pure mind associated with strong dispassion this question will not arise.” Of course in advaita (non-dualistic) philosophy there can be no place for jiva, Isvara and maya. Oneself sinking into the Self, the vasanas (tendencies) will entirely disappear, leaving no room for such a question. M.: The answers will be according to the capacity of the seeker. It is said in the second chapter of Gita that no one is born or dies: but in the fourth chapter Sri Krishna says that numerous incarnations of His and of Arjuna had taken place, all known to Him but not to Arjuna. Which of these statements is true? Both statements are true, but from different standpoints. Now a question is raised: How can jiva rise up from the Self? I must answer. Only know Your Real Being, then you will not raise this question. Why should a man consider himself separate? How was he before being born or how will he be after death? Why waste time in such discussions? What was your form in deep sleep? Why do you consider yourself as an individual? D.: My form remains subtle in deep sleep. M.: As is the effect so is the cause. As is the tree so is its seed. The whole tree is contained in the seed which later manifests as the tree. The expanded tree must have a substratum which we call maya.
