Beschreibung

"Mummy Legends" explores the captivating world of mummies, revealing their profound spiritual significance and the intricate burial rites of past civilizations. This book delves into why mummification was far more than just preserving a body; it was a reflection of complex religious beliefs about death, the afterlife, and the soul's journey. Discover how ancient societies, from ancient Egypt to South America, utilized varied mummification techniques, from simple desiccation to elaborate embalming, to prepare the deceased for what they believed awaited them.

 
The book navigates through three core themes: the religious contexts of mummification and beliefs about the afterlife, the fascinating myths and legends that have grown around mummies, and the social and political implications of the practice. You'll examine the origins of the "mummy's curse" and how mummification served to reinforce social hierarchies. Drawing from archaeological findings, religious texts, and historical accounts, this exploration offers a unique, non-sensational perspective on mummies.

 
Structured with a clear and accessible approach, "Mummy Legends" progresses through historical and geographical contexts, then deeply examines the spiritual, mythical, and socio-political dimensions. Ultimately, the book offers a multifaceted understanding of how different cultures have grappled with mortality, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in history, religion, archaeology, and the enduring human fascination with death.

Hind Swaraj - The Aural...

M K Gandhi

Hind Swaraj is Mahatma Gandhi's fundamental work. It is a key to understanding not only his life and thoughts but also the politics of South Asia in the first half of the twentieth century. Hind Swaraj is the seed from which the tree of Gandhian thought has grown to its full stature. For those interested in Gandhi's thought in a general way, it is the right place to start, for it is here that he presents his basic ideas in their proper relationship to one another. Dharma For Life, Gandhi felt that the time had come to redefine the scope of dharma to include notions of citizenship, equality, liberty, fraternity, and mutual assistance.
And in Hind Swaraj, he presents in simple language his notion of such a redefined dharma, the vision of a new Indian or Gandhian civic humanism, one that the Gita and the Ramayana had always contained in potentia, but something which Indian civilization had not actualized fully in practice. In Hind Swaraj, a conscious attempt is being made to actualize that potential. 'This is not a mere political book', he writes. 'I have used the language of politics, but I have really tried to offer a glimpse of dharma. What is the meaning of Hind Swaraj? It means the rule of dharma or Ramarajya'). 'We may read the Gita or the Ramayana or Hind Swaraj. But what we have to learn from them is a desire for the welfare of others.
On casual listening, the book may strike the listener as being a rather simple one. This would not be an unwarranted reaction, since Gandhi sought simplicity in all things, including the way he presented his ideas. But first impressions in this case can be, and are, deceptive, for the book contains in compressed form the author's conception of what modern India ought to become and how politics may be made into the highest form of the active life.

Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

Caroline Oakes

These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
 
 
 
But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
 
 
 
In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.
