Sinopse

Mayan Pyramid Rituals explores the profound connection between Mayan pyramids, religion, and the cosmos, revealing how these structures were central to Mayan civilization. More than just tombs or temples, the pyramids served as stages for sacred ceremonies, including human sacrifice, and were intricately aligned with celestial events. The book highlights how these pyramids embody the Mayan worldview, acting as nexus points between earthly and celestial realms.

The book examines diverse aspects of Mayan pyramid rituals, starting with the pyramid as a microcosm of the Mayan universe. It delves into the role of human sacrifice, its methods, and societal impact, while also exploring the astronomical alignments of pyramids in relation to the Mayan calendar system.

Through archaeological findings, epigraphic analyses, and historical accounts, the book provides a comprehensive overview of Mayan pyramid rituals, offering fresh insights into ancient religious practices.

By integrating archaeology, anthropology, and religious studies, Mayan Pyramid Rituals offers a holistic understanding of Mayan civilization, moving beyond simplistic portrayals of sacrifice and violence. The book systematically progresses through key themes, culminating in an examination of the lasting legacy of these rituals and their implications for understanding ancient religions.

This unique approach makes the book valuable for anyone interested in Mayan civilization, ancient religions, and religious history.

Vivekananda: A Biography

Swami Nikhilananda

“It may be that I shall find it good to get outside my body — to cast it off like a worn-out garment. But I shall not cease to work. I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with God.” — Swami Vivekananda 
Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), a well-known religious figure in America, is cherished with respect and affection by an ever increasing number of readers of his books. His genius was revealed to the world at large in the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893, where he indicated India’s rightful place in the spiritual map of the world. The first cultural ambassador of his motherland to the West, and the builder of the spiritual bridge connecting the two hemispheres, Vivekananda dreamed of One World based upon a synthesis of religion and science and a knowledge of the solidarity of humankind. In his utterances, the souls of East and West, the one oppressed by the tyranny of society and the other by the dead weight of secularism, found the way to freedom. Spiritual freedom was the central message of Swami Vivekananda. 
This biography by Swami Nikhilananda, revealing the life and message of a great World Teacher, is inspiring to hear.

To Live Peaceably Together - The...

Tracy E. K’Meyer

A groundbreaking look at how a predominantly white faith-based group reset the terms of the fight to integrate US cities. 
 
The bitterly tangled webs of race and housing in the postwar United States hardly suffer from a lack of scholarly attention. But Tracy K’Meyer’s To Live Peaceably Together delivers something truly new to the field: a lively examination of a predominantly white faith-based group—the Quaker-aligned American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)—that took a unique and ultimately influential approach to cultivating wider acceptance of residential integration. Built upon detailed stories of AFSC activists and the obstacles they encountered in their work in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Richmond, California, To Live Peaceably Together is an engaging and timely account of how the organization allied itself to a cause that demanded constant learning, reassessment, and self-critique. K’Meyer details the spiritual and humanist motivations behind the AFSC, its members’ shifting strategies as they came to better understand structural inequality, and how those strategies were eventually adopted by a variety of other groups. Her fine-grained investigation of the cultural ramifications of housing struggles provides a fresh look at the last seventy years of racial activism.

Orienting - An Indian in Japan

Pallavi Aiyar

How is Tokyo, a city of thirty million people, so safe that six-year-old children commute to school on their own? Why are there no trashcans in Japanese cities? Why are Ganesha idols in Japanese temples hidden from public view? Globe-trotting journalist Pallavi Aiyar moves to Japan and takes an in-depth look at the island country including its culinary, sanitary and floral idiosyncrasies. Steering through the many (mis)adventures that come from learning a new language, imbibing new cultural etiquette, and asking difficult questions about race, Aiyar explores why Japan and India find it hard to work together despite sharing a long civilizational history. Part travelogue, part reportage, Orienting answers questions that have long confounded the rest of the world with Aiyar's trademark humour. Tackling both the significant and the trivial, the quirky and the quotidian, here is an Indian's account of Japan that is as thought-provoking as it is charming.
