Summary

The Netra Tantra "Tantra of the (Third) Eye (of Siva)", also called Mrtyujit (Conqueror of Death), is one of the fundamental scriptures of non-dualist Kashmir Saivism or Trika. It is the only Tantra having the Third Eye of Siva as title and theme, and it contains three important chapters on Yoga, relating to three ways of overcoming death.
This book, besides giving an introduction to the Tantra, contains an interpretation of the three chapters; Chapter 1deals with the Eye of Siva, Chapter 7 with subtle Yoga, and Chapter 8 with supreme Yoga. The same texts are presented in Devanagari, transliteration and translation, including the eleventh-century commentary of Ksemaraja, illustrious disciple of Abhinava­ gupta . The Appendix contains illustrations of the theme of trinetra from different sources, mainly connected with Kashmir, as well as a comparative study on "The spiritual eye in the Christian mystical traditions".

This book is an important contribution to the studies on non-dualist Saivism or Trika, and especially to its Yoga.

    What if the antidote to our loneliness isn't found in another program or platform, but in something as simple and sacred as a table? 
    We live in an age of distraction and disconnection. Many of us scroll endlessly, perform constantly, and ache quietly for real community. We're desperate for the simple joy that comes from sitting with a friend and engaging in life-giving conversation. 
    The Bible gives us a model. Throughout Scripture, God does some of his most transformative work around tables. Jesus didn't build stages or start programs--he shared meals. There, foes became friends, strangers became family, and those on the outskirts of society were welcomed in. 
    That same invitation still stands. Whether you're sitting at your kitchen island, a corner booth at a bar, or a lunch table at work, you can experience radical connection. 
    In this book, you'll learn to:Rediscover the gospel's invitation to genuine communityChoose presence over performanceCultivate simple, daily habits that form a table-centered lifeBreak barriers by breaking breadSee hospitality as a mission, not just decoration 
      
    The gospel spreads best not through grand gestures but through small, faithful acts of presence. When we see every table as an altar, even the most ordinary moments become sacred ones. The table isn't just where we eat; it's where we remember who we are and whose we are. 
    So pull up a chair. There's room for you here.

    Most lifestyle books for women are saying one of two things: "Hustle!" or "Slow down!" We are either prodded into endless activity and productivity or told that what we really need is to prioritize rest, relaxation, and simply "being." Is it any wonder we feel torn in every direction, worried we're missing the opportunities God has placed before us while at the same time feeling guilty that we're doing too much? 
     
    Into this confusion comes Heather MacFadyen's empowering message to simply occupy your God-given space--a Hebrew definition of humility. God has given you talents and a sphere of influence. Your role is to fill that space, empowered by the Holy Spirit. In this book, Heather presents four boundary lines to help you identify your unique God-given space and shows you how to evaluate your next steps with confident peace so that you can stop feeling exhausted and guilty and start feeling fulfilled. 
     
    It's time to replace FOMO, inadequacy, and hustle culture with the satisfaction that comes from owning the space we've been assigned. Right Where You Belong helps you get there.

    The Bhagavat Gita is one of the main religious literature in the Hindu way of life. It contains about 700 verses divided into 18 cantos. It is the essence of the philosophy contained in the Upanishads and is a part of the Mahabharata which describes the story of the Pandavas and the Kouravas. The development of the various incidents in the life of the Pandavas and the Kouravas ultimately leads to the war in Kurukshetra wherein the Pandavas finally win the battle. 
    When Arjuna, the great warrior of the Pandava brothers sees the Kourava army in the battlefield, he is overwhelmed with concern because they are all his kinsmen. He gets terrified. Not because of fear of battle but because of emotions. Krishna who is the incarnation of the Almighty God was acting as his charioteer. Arjuna tells Krishna, ‘My limbs give way. My mouth is getting parched. I feel shaky. My bow slips from my hand. My skin burns all over. My mind is whirling as though I cannot hold on to myself. I see evil portends.’ 
    A conversation ensues between Krishna and Arjuna and this conversation is the Bhagawat Gita. 
    This audio book is primarily a recitation of the verses of the Gita. A brief synopsis of each canto is also given before its actual recitation. I am simultaneously publishing this also as a book which will be available in the market place of major booksellers. 
    This audio book is divided into three sections, each containing six cantos. This is the third section containing cantos 13 to 18.
