Hardbound. Zustand: As New. Reprint. Vaishnavas worship Vishnu in his various forms and are one of the three major groups of Hinduism the others being Shaivas and Shaktas. In the trinity of Vishnu Shiva and Brahma Vishnu is the sattva quality of a centripetal tendency towards light and truth which holds the universe together by pervading all existence. Vishnu comes from a root meaning to pervade and he is know as the Pervader. Thus Vishnu dwells in everything and defeats the power of destruction. As the highest deity to the Vaishnavas Vishnu is expressed symbolically in his mythological form as Anantasayin reclining on the serpent of eternity called Anata or Sesha. He is floating on the cosmic waters from which reality is manifested. A lotus grows from his navel symbolising his creative potential and on the lotus sits Brahma ready to bring about creation at Vishnu's command. After his active phase Vishnu returns to his snake bed and is united with Yoganidra the goddess of sleep and the process of creation starts again. A concise manual for the preparation to entering the ever blissful path of Visnu the most universally worshipped Hindu deity. 158 pp.…

Literature of Saivism. 6. Saivism. 7. The Saiva Acharyas. 8. Vira Saivism. Shaivas are devotees of the Hindu God Shiva. While Shaivism contains within it a number of traditions and theologies Shaivas will regard Shiva as the transcendent Lord who creates the cosmos maintains it and destroys it over and over again. He also conceals himself through his magical power (maya) and reveals himself through grace. Most Shaivas believe in the standard Hindu doctrine that the soul travels through many lifetimes in the cycle of reincarnation (Samsara) and that the kind of rebirth the soul experiences is determined by its action (karma). The ultimate goal of life is salvation or liberation (Moksha) from the cycle of reincarnation attained by a degree of effort but ultimately through Shiva's grace. The worship of Shiva is very ancient in India. Hymns to Rudra a name of Shiva are found in the Veda the earliest Hindu scriptures regarded as revelation (c. 1500 BCE) though worship of Shiva may have its origins in the Indus Valley civilisation (c. 2000 BCE). This is concise manual to initiate the reader before taking up the more sophisticated texts related to Saivism. 260 pp.…

Hardbound. Zustand: As New. Reprint. Contents Introduction/Hans Keoster. 1. Sakti in the Upa Puranas. 2. The Tantric Sakti Cult. 3. Ritualistic aspect of the Puranic Sakti cult. 4. Saktism or Goddess worship. There is no word of wider content in any language than this Sanskrit term meaning Power. For Shakti in the highest causal sense is God as Mother and in another sense it is the universe which issues from Her Womb. Therefore the Yogini hridaya Tantra thus salutes Her who conceives bears produces and thereafter nourishes all worlds. Their doctrine is to be found in the traditions oral and written which are contained in the Agamas which (with Purana Smriti and Veda) constitute one of the four great classes of Scripture of the Hindus. The Tantras are Scriptures of the Agama. The notion that they are some queer by product of Hinduism and not an integral part of it is erroneous. This concise manual will introduce the reader to the splendorous path of the Saktas and open for him the door to the mystical doctrines of the Sakta Philosophy. 184 pp. …

The Vedic world of gods and demons/Herman Oldenberg. 12. The Hymns of the Vedas/M. Monier Williams. " The oldest scriptures of India, and the most important, are the Vedas. Orthodox, Hindus, who include all schools of Indian thought past and present, recognize in them the origin of their faith and its highest written authority. For the vast majority of modern Hindus, therefore, amongst all their sacred writings, the Vedas supreme. The term Vedas not only names a large body of texts composed in times indefinitely remote, and handed down by generation after generation to our own day, but in another sense stands for nothing less than divine truth itself. Regarded in this second aspect, the Vedas are infinite and eternal. They are that perfect knowledge which is God. This book supplies the straightforward answers to questions that are not resolved by lofty Vedic textbooks or the complex commentaries. It condenses the information from a vide variety of sources and captures the basic tenets of the Vedic knowledge for the readers who are beginning their journey on the path of Indian spirituality and wisdom.
