Tâo Teh King - Enriched edition

Laozi Laozi

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

The "Tâo Teh King," attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi, is a foundational text of Daoism that intricately weaves together philosophy and poetry. Comprising 81 chapters, this profound work explores the concept of the Dao (the Way) and the Teh (virtue), presenting a vision of harmony with the natural world. Written in a sparse, yet evocative style, the text employs paradox and metaphor to impart wisdom about governance, personal conduct, and the art of living in accordance with the Dao, challenging conventional notions of morality and societal norms. Laozi, a figure shrouded in legend, is believed to have lived in the 6th century BCE. His experiences as a philosopher and historian in the court of the Zhou dynasty likely shaped his worldview, leading him to advocate for a return to simplicity and spontaneity amidst societal excess. His teachings emphasize the importance of humility and restraint, reflecting the tension between personal enlightenment and the demands of political life, which resonates throughout the "Tâo Teh King." This text invites readers to embark on a transformative journey toward self-discovery and inner peace, making it essential reading for anyone interested in Eastern philosophy, spiritual practice, or the exploration of harmony in a turbulent world. Its timeless wisdom continues to inspire and challenge individuals across cultures, making it a profound addition to any literary or philosophical library.

The Majesty & Mystery Of Krsna's...

Radha Krsna Das

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared as a devotee of Krishna in Mayapur, West Bengal, India in the late fifteenth century. He introduced sankirtan, widespread congregational chanting of the Supreme Person’s names, as the most effective means by which anyone can achieve spiritual perfection. By His influence, many of India’s leading religious scholars and their followers became devotees of Krishna themselves.

In His youth, Mahaprabhu started a Sanskrit academy in Navadvipa—one of India’s top centers of learning at the time—and earned a reputation as an excellent scholar. But at age twenty-four he renounced everything to travel the subcontinent encouraging everyone he met to chant the Hare Krishna mantra.

He is considered by disciples, scholars and followers to be the latest avatar of Krishna Himself, based on extensive evidence found in Vedic literature. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness, ISKCON, is a continuation of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s sankirtan movement.
Chaitanya's humble, saintly demeanor and knowledge of Vedic conclusions persuaded prominent impersonalists that Krishna consciousness, worship of the Supreme Person, is life’s highest purpose. On Mahaprabhu’s instruction, the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan made a thorough analysis of the Vedas to show that Krishna bhakti, devotional service to Lord Krishna, is the essence of all Vedic teachings. Mahaprabhu’s extensive conversations with His devotees such as Ramananda Raya and Sanatana Goswami form the philosophical and scriptural basis of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, or Krishna consciousness.

Chaitanya himself left only eight written verses, the Siksastaka, in which he teaches that chanting God’s names is the most simple and sublime spiritual practice for everyone, everywhere. He also showed such extraordinary symptoms of love of God that great scholars among His devotees, including the Six Goswamis

Little Universe

Natalie Ann Holborow

The poems in Natalie Ann Holborow's third collection, Little Universe, are an exploration of tumultuous human emotions and nature's ever-present rhythms.

Lives bustle within a busy hospital's walls, humming against the Gower landscape that stretches beyond its windows. The tiny worlds of a wide cast unfold as they deal with their own emergencies, losses, recoveries, hopes and histories.

Medical students stride along the corridors in rubber shoes, scars running the lengths of their lives. A janitor is crying in the Gents, watching the flowers at the hospital entrance shrug themselves back into earth. The biblical Lilith offers knowledge from one woman to the other. And somewhere in the distance, a bunker dissolves into gold upon Pennard's shoulder, dusk folding to sleep on Rhossili.

The characters in this book are all bound by the undying pulse of existence – yet their stories serve as a reminder that despite these stark contrasts, life persists.
