The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath by Yogi Ramacharaka is a seminal work on the practice and philosophy of breath control, or pranayama, in the context of Hindu and yogic traditions.

The book blends practical exercises with philosophical insights, presenting breath as a means to harmonize the body and mind while also connecting individuals to higher spiritual realms. It draws on ancient yogic knowledge, making it accessible to a Western audience unfamiliar with Eastern practices.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was an Indian mystic and yogi during the 19th-century. Ramakrishna was given to spiritual ecstasies from a young age, and was influenced by several religious traditions, including devotion toward the goddess Kali, Tantra and Vaishnava Bhakti and Advaita Vedanta. The name of Ramakrishna has lately been so often mentioned in Indian, American and English newspapers that a fuller account of his life and doctrine seemed to the author likely to be welcome, not only to the many who take an interest in the intellectual and moral state of India, but to the few also to whom the growth of philosophy and religion, whether at home or abroad, can never be a matter of indifference. The author has therefore tried to collect as much information as he could about this Ramakrishna, partly from his own devoted disciples, partly from Indian newspapers, journals and books in which the principal events of his life were chronicled, and his moral and religious teaching described and discussed, whether in a friendly or unfriendly spirit. If we remember that these utterances of Ramakrishna reveal to us not only his own thoughts, but the faith and hope of millions of human beings, we may indeed feel hopeful about the future of that country. The consciousness of the Divine in man is there, and is shared by all, even by those who seem to worship idols. This constant sense of the presence of God is indeed the common ground on which we may hope that in time not too distant the great temple of the future will be erected, in which Hindus and non-Hindus may join hands and hearts in worshiping the same Supreme Spirit-who is not far from every one of us, for in Him we live and move and have our being.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Parsi, Jaina, and Sikh: Or Some Minor Religious Sects in India by Douglas M. Thornton offers a concise yet informative overview of three distinct religious communities that, while smaller in number, have played significant roles in India's spiritual and cultural landscape. Writing from a Christian missionary perspective in the early 20th century, Thornton aims to familiarize Western readers with the beliefs, practices, and historical development of the Parsis, Jains, and Sikhs. He outlines the Zoroastrian roots of the Parsis, the non-violent asceticism central to Jainism, and the monotheistic, reformist vision of Sikhism founded by Guru Nanak. While the book provides valuable summaries and insights, its interpretations are influenced by the missionary agenda of the time, often contrasting these faiths with Christian ideals. Nevertheless, it serves as an accessible introduction to these traditions and reflects how they were understood by Western scholars during the colonial period, offering both historical perspective and cultural context.

One of the most marked signs of the times is the close attention that is being paid to psychological research, the results of which are being followed with the greatest interest by an intelligent public, and the continued advanced of which promises to be one of the most hopeful activities of modern science. The observation, analysis, and classification of mental phenomena are being pursued with untiring energy, and the problems of mind attacked on all side with refreshing vigour. In brief, the new science of psychology seems to promise at no distant date to become one of the most fruitful, if not the most fruitful, field of human tillage. But turn where we will to our manuals or special studies, we find no reference to the patient work of many centuries accomplished by the introspective genius of the East. In this field none have laboured with greater industry and acumen than the Buddhist thinkers, whose whole philosophy and therewith also their religion rests on a psychological basis. Not only so, but some of their main contentions are very similar to the later views advanced by the dominant schools of modern research. The work of these profound analysts of the nature of mind should, therefore, by no means be neglected by modern psychologists and those who are interested in their instructive labours and who that desires to know himself can fail to be so interested? It must, however, be admitted that there is some excuse for previous neglect owing to the lack of books designed to smooth the way for those unacquainted with Oriental studies. It is with the hope of making a start in this direction that the present valuable introduction has been secured from the pen of one who is acknowledged to be the most competent student of the subject in the West.

McCrindle offers a unique perspective on India through the lens of Ktesias, a native of Knidos and a member of the Asklêpiadai, a priestly caste with a hereditary profession in medicine. Ktesias, a contemporary of Hippocrates, spent 17 years in Persia, serving as a physician to the royal court under Darius II and Artaxerxes Mnemon. Among Ktesias's various works, the most significant was his history of Persia, written in 23 books. Unfortunately, this work is lost, but Phôtios provided a brief abstract of its contents. Another notable work was the 'Indika' focused on India, which is also lost but abridged by Phôtios, with fragments preserved by other writers like Elian. Ktesias's 'Indika' aimed to capture India's essence, drawing from reports of Persian officials and possibly Indian sources.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. In 'The Economic Consequences of the Peace', John Maynard Keynes offers a poignant analysis of the aftermath of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. Published in 1919, Keynes presents a stark warning about the potential disastrous consequences of the peace settlement reached in Paris. He criticizes the shortsightedness and vengefulness of the Allied powers, particularly France and Britain, emphasizing the interconnectedness of European nations and the dire implications of crippling Germany and Austria-Hungary economically. Keynes, who participated in the Paris Peace Conference and was a member of the Supreme Economic Council, provides a firsthand account of the atmosphere in post-war Europe. He paints a vivid picture of the disconnect between the frivolous scene in London, seemingly oblivious to the continent's tremors, and the palpable sense of impending catastrophe in Paris. The author laments the decision-making process, portraying it as a tragicomedy with leaders like Wilson and Clemenceau wearing masks, their actions both charged with global consequences and yet seemingly inconsequential.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. We are witnessing a new surge of interpersonal and institutional violence against women, including new witch hunts. This surge of violence has occurred alongside an expansion of capitalist social relations. In this new work that revisits some of the main themes of Caliban and the Witch, Silvia Federici examines the root causes of these developments and outlines the consequences for the women affected and their communities. She argues that, no less than the witch hunts in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe and the "New World," this new war on women is a structural element of the new forms of capitalist accumulation. These processes are founded on the destruction of people's most basic means of reproduction. Like at the dawn of capitalism, what we discover behind today's violence against women are processes of enclosure, land dispossession, and the remolding of women's reproductive activities and subjectivity. As well as an investigation into the causes of this new violence, the book is also a feminist call to arms. Federici's work provides new ways of understanding the methods in which women are resisting victimization and offers a powerful reminder that reconstructing the memory of the past is crucial for the struggles of the present.
