We are aware of the Puranas in Hindu society. As an Indian even if you have not read them, they shape your behavior. These stories permeate the air of Bharat. Whether we believe in them or not, they determine our value system. All our festivals, ceremonies, and the way we celebrate them, are narrated to us in these Puranic stories. There are thousands of stories, and even for a brilliant mind, it is impossible to remember all of them. Collectively, as a society, we remember these stories, but as individuals, we struggle to know all. The purpose of these stories was to unite society. The stories that unite people depend on the society. The type of stories that will unite people depends on the political system, ethnic diversity in society, available resources, wealth distribution among citizens, geographical features such as deserts, snowy mountains, overflowing riverbanks, plateaus with good agriculture and water, or areas surrounded by dense forests with unknown diseases, etc. After twelve hundred years of barbaric invasions and colonization, when Bharat became free on 15th August 1947 and chose to be a democratic nation with immense diversity, the question arises: how do we unite the society? Stories revolving around military heroes or successful business ventures are one way to connect with people and unite society. However, these individual stories do not provide us with the broader narrative of a civilizational nation. We cannot unite Bharat in the same way as the USA, Greece, Iran, Saudi Arabia, or China. Bharat is a civilizational nation, and on top of that, we have vast diversity, population, and poverty. Engaging 1.4 billion people of a democratic nation who speak over 400+ languages, and embrace dozens of religious and ethnic diversities in nation-building is an immense challenge. That's why, despite one's education, experience, or intelligence, without divine blessings, whether you are a nation or an individual both will suffer. Bharat has a long tradition of writing and narrating Pauranic stories, and in a democratic system, we need to harness this art to unite society. However, this time, the stories should steer clear of concepts like heaven and hell. They should also avoid focusing on the gods and goddesses of the sky. Citizens should not prioritize to an afterlife but instead strive for a meaningful, peaceful existence on the land we call Rashtra or nation. Namo Purana is a grand narrative of Bharat. Glory, struggle, and progress from Vedic times to 2023 are compressed within this book. It encapsulates everything essential about Bharat, its Vedic time, peaks, struggle, rise, and resurgence. This is not a book focused on any specific topic like spirituality, history, geography, or economy. Instead, it is a Purana that delves into every aspect of Maa Bharati's life. Readers will encounter a wide range of topics in this work, including spirituality, dharma, religion, history, geography, trade and business, economy, culture, politics, geopolitics, war and conflicts, agriculture, literature, biographies, Bhakti Yoga, Jnyana Yoga, Karma Yoga, sociology, colonization, patriotism, nationalism, constitution, law and order, and the dos and don'ts of good governance. Each is discussed briefly to inspire the citizens of Bharat to understand their motherland, its struggles, and challenges. One should neither look up to any other nation with awe nor look down on any other nation. All nations on the planet are equal, and their residents are our family members residing in different houses. Therefore, it's important to respect and care for all, while ensuring that our Rashtra, our home, is safe and peaceful for ourselves and future generations.
In the battlefield of Kurukshetra, when Arjuna witnessed his grandfathers, uncles, gurus, father-in-laws, brothers, cousins, nephews and friends, he became hysterical. He became morally and emotionally low and down while thinking about the outcomes of the battle. He was mentally and physically weak and paralyzed. He was unable to take any decision. He had forgotten his righteous deeds. Everything appeared an impossible task for him. Even, he was willing to renounce everything.He became fearful, worried, and confused. He didn’t want to fight. He was in a great dilemma. Then, Lord Krishna came forward to rescue Arjuna. Lord Krishna made Arjuna to realize his moral duties and responsibilities through His divine discourse in the form of ‘GITA’. Arjuna was enlightened and liberated from the worldly bondage. Eventually, he fought the battle of Mahabharata in order to re-establish righteousness (Dharma). Similarly, your life is like the great battlefield of Kurukshetra, when you face tough situations, challenges and circumstances, don’t become hysterical. Don’t become morally and emotionally low and down while thinking about the outcomes of your deeds. However, keep yourself mentally and physically strong and powerful. Don’t hesitate to execute your moral duties and responsibilities. You are the Arjuna of your own life and you have to fight the battle of your own ‘Mahabharata’ in order to achieve your eternal joy, happiness, success, prosperity and peace.
The whole Creation is a spiritual system. How to understand this. “Life has to be lived forward but understood backward”. In this Creation, everything leads to something. That something leads to something further. That something significant leads us to something Ultimate. But the sure way to lose sight of spirituality in the Creation is to take everything for granted. That’s how we lost sight of valuable clues already. The rarest miracle is to be born as an awakened human being. Science is required for the welfare of the world and spirituality is required for the wellbeing of mankind. Human beings need to be guided very responsibly. We have to inquire into the spiritual dimension of Creation by serious contemplation, even while science is on a romantic trip with cognizable phenomena. Simple awareness takes us to a higher pedestal of awakening - a hyper-awareness. This is awakening. Ordinarily, we lead to three kinds of lives. One-the life we want to lead; two - the life we are leading; three - the life we should be leading. Through Sadhana, we can narrow the gap and make life and more purposeful. God limits Himself to the limits of our understanding.
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba wrote a series of articles under the Vahini series, for Sanathana Sarathi, a monthly magazine being published by Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust, Publications Division, Prasanthi Nilayam. These precious articles are brought out now, under the title “Geeta Vahini”, in this book, for the benefit of readers. This is not a commentary or summary of the divine message that was given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. It conveys the same message in a simpler form to us, in order to remove our delusion and confer faith and strength on us, so that we may realise our own reality. Bhagawan says, “Drawing on the Divine that is inherent in us is the lesson of Geeta… Arjuna is the jiva and Krishna is the Deva. When both are in contact, impregnable might results… Krishna had to work in and through Arjuna, so that the reign of Dharma (righteousness) is re-established. Arjuna means white, pure, unblemished. Hence, he is the proper instrument.” We too can become proper instruments in restoring Dharma, if we follow the lessons that Bhagawan teaches through this book.
In the wake of September 11, 2001 religion is often seen as the motivating force behind terrorism and other acts of violence. Religion and Peacebuilding looks beyond headlines concerning violence perpetrated in the name of religion to examine how world religions have also inspired social welfare and peacemaking activism. Leading scholars from the Aboriginal, Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian traditions provide detailed analyses of the spiritual resources for fostering peace within their respective religions. The contributors discuss the formidable obstacles to nonviolent conflict transformation found within sacred texts and living traditions. Case studies of Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Cambodia, and South Africa are also examined as practical applications of spiritual resources for peace.
Ravana is the Asura King of Lanka, his might feared in all fourteen worlds. A boon from Brahma has rendered him all but invulnerable, with none knowing how to end him but Ravana himself. When fate puts him in the path of Vedavati whose death he causes, remorse makes him take her remains to Lanka where it makes nature itself to turn against the island. But Ravana cannot let go of the one woman whose actions have made him obsessed, and when he finally releases his remains, he learns that she has been reborn as Sita. He is not ready to let her go, not even when she chooses someone else. Abducting a married woman might be a step too far, but Ravana has always got what he wants, and he wants Sita. After all, Lanka is impregnable, an island fortress guarded by magic and an asura army, and an ocean separates it from the rest of the world. No matter what Sita may want, and no matter that her husband will move heaven and earth to retrieve her, Ravana is not ready to budge. Till he remembers the dreams that had kept him awake all his life, recalls who he is in truth, recognises the true nature of the woman he had abducted, and the enemy he has made in her husband. Ayana is a retelling of the Hindu Epic Ramayana told from multiple POVs, and aligns closely to the original version by Valmiki for most of the story. It may have content triggering to some readers. Please refer to the warnings in the book. The book was chosen as a semi finalist in SPFBO 2019
