Sinossi

The "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1663 N.S" serves as a vivid and insightful chronicle of the daily life in 17th-century England, penned by one of its most astute observers. This meticulously detailed diary, with its candid reflections and lively anecdotes, presents a unique intersection of historical narrative and personal memoir. Pepys's literary style is marked by both intimate self-examination and an acute awareness of the political and social upheavals of his time, including the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. His eloquent yet conversational prose invites readers into a world richly textured with both the mundane and the extraordinary, encapsulating the essence of Restoration England in a manner that remains unparalleled in historical literature. Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was not only a renowned naval administrator but also a keen historian and a vital member of the English intellectual community. His firsthand experiences and varied interests, which ranged from naval affairs to theater, influenced his writing. The diary, initially intended as a private record, evolved into a crucial document that reveals the complexities of 17th-century life, reflecting both the personal joys and societal challenges of the era. Readers seeking a profound understanding of early modern England will find Pepys's diary an indispensable resource. Its rich detail and accessibility make it suitable for both scholars and casual readers alike. Engaging with Pepys's observations not only enhances one's grasp of historical context but also invites reflection on the humanity that transcends time.

    “Whenever there is a decline of religion and a rise of irreligion, I incarnate myself. To protect the good, to destroy the wicked, and to re-establish religious principles, I appear in every age.”"In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I advent Myself millennium after millennium." Sri Krishna The incarnations of Godhead are a recurrent theme in Vedic history. Vishnu exists outside the material realm as the creator, and within every being as the Supersoul. He also enters this world as an avatar, ‘one who descends’, to restore balance whenever his presence is needed. There are said to be more incarnations of Godhead than waves on the ocean. The avatars of Vishnu are of particular interest because He takes progressively more developed forms, from the fish, tortoise, and boar to half-animal, half-man, and finally human form. That God should incarnate as an animal, even a supernatural one, shows animals have an important role to play in God’s eyes. They are living expressions of the spirit and presence of God. Here are the subtle secret teachings of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami the master of George Harrison and so many more. These ancient yogic mysteries were taught only to Maharaji's most advanced disciples and were thought to be all but lost these many years. Coming now from a nearly 50-year devotee of Srila Prabhupada here is a singular opportunity to enter into the true mystical presence of the divine incarnations of the absolute.The Vedas are a 5000-year-old esoteric, intriguing, mystical body of work that carries within it the seed of divine, transcendental knowledge. We live in a world wherein yoga now reigns supreme as the preferred, go-to method of modern spiritual realization, and this unique, exclusive, audio presentation which paves the way for a clearer, more meaningful understanding of these divine sacred

    Philosophy has been underway for more than 2,000 years. The Great Philosophers traces the biggest and most influential thoughts in philosophy's long stride through history, beginning with the ancient Greeks and early Romans, the first philosophical thinkers in the West, to whom much is owed. 
     
    How their concerns became the concerns of those who followed is clearly laid out, as is the way their answers shaped what we now recognize as philosophy. The medieval philosophers are also represented, combining their religious concerns with ancient thought and carrying it into the Renaissance. The modern era, the explosion of philosophy sparked by Descartes, is well represented here too. Founders and representatives of both rationalist and empiricist schools make an appearance, as do philosophy's skeptics with their often-darker conclusions. 
     
    Philosophy's long walk continues, and you will find here the thoughts which make its contemporary form what it is, and perhaps what it is on the way to becoming. Philosophy is very much still underway, and The Great Philosophers pays regard to both the discipline as it is practiced now and to the history which made contemporary philosophy possible.

    MacArthur Fellow and National Humanities Medalist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex and The Mind-Body Problem, returns with a revelatory book about the primal drive that in our species alone has been transformed into one of our most persistent and universal motivations: the longing to matter.Drawing on biology, psychology, and philosophy, Goldstein argues that this need to matter—and the various "mattering projects" it inspires—is the source of our greatest progress and our deepest conflicts: the very crux of the human experience.Goldstein brings this profound idea to life through unforgettable stories of famous and not-so-famous people pursuing their unique mattering projects. These portraits illuminate how our instinct for significance shapes identity, relationships, culture, and conflict—and they point the way to a future where we all might see that there is, fundamentally, enough mattering to go around.Deeply revealing and insightful, The Mattering Instinct is a must-listen for those curious about why we seek to matter to ourselves and others—and how this insatiable longing that drives us apart may be the key to finally understanding each other.
