Sinossi

Celestial Visions explores how celestial bodies and cosmic phenomena have profoundly shaped religious beliefs, literary expression, and philosophical thought across history. Investigating the origins of astrotheology, the book reveals how ancient civilizations integrated celestial observations into their religious practices and mythologies. Astronomical discoveries, such as the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric model, significantly impacted philosophical paradigms and societal structures. 

 
The book argues that the cosmos hasn't merely been a backdrop to human history but an active agent in our cultural and intellectual development. By examining the interplay between celestial observations and human ideas, readers gain insights into the evolution of human consciousness. Starting with fundamental concepts like astronomical symbolism, the book progresses through specific historical periods, including ancient Mesopotamia and the Renaissance, to illustrate how celestial influences manifested in distinct ways.

The Majesty Of Hanuman Neem...

Sripad Jagannatha Das

AN INSIDE LOOK AT INDIA’S GREATEST MYSTIC SAINT!

THE CHANT

The Hanuman Chalisa is a hymn in praise of Hanuman authored by Tulsi Das. The word 'chālīsā' means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Chalisa has forty verses. Hanuman is a great devotee of Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. He is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman – his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa.

Hanuman is the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor.

Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa infuses one with unlimited energy and prana. This sacred mantra also increases a person’s resilience and they emerge victorious in every situation.

THE TEACHER

Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a mystic saint and devotee of Hanuman. Here is the essence of his remarkable life and teachings. He is known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including Ram Dass and Bhagavan Das, as well as musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal.

Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the 1960s. Thereafter, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s' iconic book 'Be Here Now' turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all.

The Heart Sutra - Becoming a...

OSHO

The Heart Sutra , originally a very short set of verses, was given in privacy as a message to one of Buddha's close disciples, Sariputra, specifically addressed to him. Over time the Heart Sutra became one of Buddhism's core teachings.
In these 10 talks, Osho presents the powerful message of these ancient words and brings them to a modern audience - one with different minds and needs than the original audiences of Buddha more than 2,500 years ago. Osho's message is not about Buddha the historical figure; instead he addresses his listeners and encourages them to discover their own inner realities, their own buddhahood. Like Buddha's, Osho's message is about meditation and meditation alone - "rely only on your meditation and nothing else".
Osho also speaks on the seven chakras, the energy centers of the human body, and their corresponding relationships to the physical, psychosomatic, psychological, psychospiritual, spiritual, spiritual-transcendental, and transcendental aspects of human growth and consciousness.
1. The Buddha Within
2. Surrender Is Understanding
3. Negation of Knowledge
4. Understanding: The Only Law
5. The Fragrance of Nothingness
6. Don't Be Too Sane
7. Full Emptiness
8. The Path of Intelligence
9. Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond!
10. Truth Is a Presence
