Sinossi

Hindu Time explores the rich tradition of the Hindu calendar, a system deeply intertwined with religious life, cultural practices, and ancient Indian thought. This book unveils how timekeeping in Hinduism extends beyond mere measurement, serving as a holistic framework that integrates astronomy, astrology (Jyotisha), mythology, and religious observances. One intriguing aspect discussed is the concept of vast cycles of creation and destruction (kalpas), reflecting a unique perspective on time's eternal nature. Also highlighted is the calendar's critical role in determining the timing of Hindu festivals and rituals, thus shaping communal worship and individual spiritual practices.

 
The book progresses from introducing the fundamental units of time, the concept of yugas, and the astronomical basis of the calendar, to examining the influence of planetary positions and the calendar's application in determining the dates of major Hindu festivals. What sets Hindu Time apart is its comprehensive approach, blending historical, astronomical, astrological, and religious perspectives to offer an accessible understanding of this complex system. By contextualizing the calendar’s origins within Vedic cosmology and ancient Indian thought, the book reveals its multifaceted significance, making it valuable for students of religion, history, South Asian studies, and anyone interested in Hindu culture.

    Read by the author.  
    Discover the antidote to cynicism and despair in this dynamic, revelatory, hope-inducing exploration of the extraordinary work and extraordinary people who are transforming communities around the country--motivated by faith. 
    The mother of a man with autism manages a network of group homes through her local Greek Orthodox congregation. The director of an Islamic cultural center hosts a national interfaith conference to foster better relationships with the Jewish community. A student counselor starts a free immigration services program through her church. Sometimes we forget that good is not only happening in America, it is flourishing--in the fertile soil of our churches, synagogues, and mosques. 
    Few people are better poised to speak to the value of religious institutions in civic life than former Ohio governor and presidential candidate John Kasich, who is both a public servant and a man of faith. In Heaven Help Us, Kasich reminds us through gripping stories that faith communities are vital to healthy communities and our nation. Heaven Help Us offers:Unforgettable stories of people making an extraordinary difference because of their faith communitiesInsights into what sets faith institutions that transform their neighborhoods apart from those that don'tPractical ideas for making positive changes in our own communitiesHope to dream about what is possible in our country instead of what is impossibleEncouragement that religion can bring us together rather than break us apart 
      
    As Kasich shows us, faith institutions can magnify the power of an individual in ways that almost always exceed the expectations of the person who jump-started the initiative in the first place. More than a collection of "feel-good" stories, Heaven Help Us reminds us of the resourcefulness and ingenuity of our fellow congregants and religious leaders that make it possible to turn our good intentions into even better outcomes. Good is happening in our country. Join in.
