  • Né Pour Briller, Né Pour Réussir Avec Une Maîtrise Parfaite, Le Pr. Lal
    Né pour briller, né pour réussir Avec une maîtrise parfaite, le Pr. Lal insère des explications dans le texte même, s’épargnant ainsi les notes. Critique, par Pradip Bhattacharya. Le Mahabharata de Vyasa. Le Karna Parva (livre de Karna), transcréé du sanskrit par le Pr Lal, Writers Workshop, Rps 1000 (broché). Tirage spécial en 50 exemplaires numérotés, avec un frontiscipe original peint à la main, Rps 2000. La bataille du Kurukshetra présente un double point fort : le duel Karna-Arjuna et la confrontation finale Bhima-Duryodhana. Nous arrivons au troisième livre de la bataille, l’ancienne génération est tombée ; et en même temps qu’elle, ses obsessions. La soif de revanche de Drupada sur Bhishma et Drona a été assouvie par deux de ses fils, engendrés dans ce but. Avant d’être décapité, Drona tue deux des principaux alliés des Pandava : Drupada et Virata. L’ancien Bahlika, Bhagadatta, Bhurishrava – tous sont tués. Rien ne fait plus obstacle au désir de Duryodhana de nommer Karna commandant en chef, un désir auquel il avait dû renoncer par deux fois. Bien que Karna ait fui au moins par trois fois du champ de bataille durant le commandement de Drona, Duryodhana s’accroche à son invincibilité avec une foi aveugle, avec le désespoir d’un homme qui se noie. Le lecteur notera un trait unique du style du Pr. Lal dans sa transcréation : l’utilisation de doublets chaque fois que Vyasa n’emploie pas le nom usuel d’un personnage. Ainsi, avec une maîtrise parfaite, il insère des explications dans le texte même, s’épargnant les notes.

  • 10 SPIRITUAL QUALITIES of HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE
    10 SPIRITUAL QUALITIES of HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE RAJA YOGA SUTRAS 2.30-32 YAMAS - Abstentions 1) Ahimsa – Non-violence “Ahimsa Parama Dharmo” – “Non-violence is the highest moral duty.” “The principle of non-violence encompasses all other moral principles. The abstention of meat-eating is one of the pillars of non-violence…When a person abstains from harming other living beings, especially by giving up meat-eating, then he in turn is never put into danger by other creatures, even if he is in the densest jungle. The word (in Sanskrit) for meat is ‘mamsa.’ ‘Mam’ means ‘me’ and ‘sa’ means ‘he.’ Therefore ‘mamsa’ means ‘me, he will eat.’ In other words, those who eat the flesh of animals will themselves be eaten later on by the same animals. Abstention from intentionally injuring all living beings is the highest form of spirituality, the highest practice of self-control. and the most valuable gift which can be given to others. Indeed the glory of living a life of non-violence could not be fully expounded, even if a person were to go on speaking on the subject for a thousand years.” - Mahajan Bhishmadeva, Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva 2) Satya – Truthfulness “Truth is the highest moral principle because all other good qualities rest upon it. Once, Truthfulness was placed on one side of a scale and all other spiritual and moral practices were placed on the other. Truth was seen to be heavier.” - A brahmana speaking to Maharaja Ikshvaku (story told by Mahajan Bhishmadeva, Mahabharata, Shanti Parva) “Hear from me about the higher principles of spirituality and morality…Even Truth should not be uttered when it will produce an adverse result…According to scripture, it is highly virtuous to tell a lie in order to save one’s own life, or the life of another, especially a king or brahmana, or to save one’s wealth …In all cases, the highest virtue lies in not harming other creatures…Untruth which protects an innocent person from harm should be considered truth…Any act free from the motive to injure others is true morality.

  • A Fresh Perspective on the Astronomy of the Mahabharata
    ISBN: 978-1-9051860-1-3 © Dr Manish Pandit 2019 !ii Dedicated To My Gurus and Divine Mother Kali !i Foreword 3067BCE: A Fresh Perspective on the Astronomy of the Mahabharata I made the film “Krishna: History or Myth” in 2008 after a set of severe arguments on the subject of the historicity of Sri Krishna and Sri Rama, one of which was with a junior doctor when working as a surgeon in 2002 in the West Midlands. I had come across several pieces of research which claimed to corroborate the astronomy of the Mahabharata war. Amongst these were the research by PV Vartak, (5561BCE) a senior MBBS doctor residing in Pune who I have had the pleasure of meeting years ago in Pune, the research by Dr Narahari Achar from Memphis (3067BCE), Balakrishna and Sengupta (2449BCE) among others. I never wanted to really make a film on the subject, but nobody else was willing, partly due to the cost involved in the shooting of such a film (those were the days when digital film cameras were only just about becoming affordable) and of the course nobody wanted to take the risk of making a film which most Indian, English language, Hinduphobic channels would not show. I also had to check and see which piece of research was actually true: 5561BCCE, 3067BCE, 3139BCE, 3043BCE or indeed 1478BCE or 2449BCE among others. It took me a lot of time to go through the various pieces of research from 2004 to 2007 and eventually after taking great care to !ii exclude the wrong pieces of research, I sat down and corroborated the research on Redshift.
