THE BHAGAVAD-GITA: Krishna's Counsel in Time of War  THE BHAGAVAD-GITA: Krishna's Counsel in Time of War (Code #B2B72)

Barbara Stoler Miller

The Bhagavad-Gita has been an essential text of Hindu culture in India since the time of its composition in the first century A.D. One of the great classics of world literature, it has inspired such diverse thinkers as Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and T.S. Eliot. Barbara Stoler Miller's translation is a favourite among scholars yet comfortable reading for the layperson.

CHRIST THE YOGI: A Hindu Reflection on the Gospel of John  CHRIST THE YOGI: A Hindu Reflection on the Gospel of John (Code #BV42)

Ravi Ravindra

An unusual and rewarding exploration of the Gospel of John from an Indian perspective, offering a meditation on our need to draw inspiration from all spiritual sources as we search for the paths toward personal transformation. Christ the Yogi eloquently and convincingly reveals the interconnectedness of all faiths and the growing need in today's world for interfaith dialogue. The Gospel of John differs from the other gospels of the New Testament in both its cosmological scale and mystical nature. Through thoughtful comparisons of its teachings with Hindu and other religious traditions, Christ the Yogi eloquently and convincingly reveals the interconnectedness of all faiths and the growing need in today's world for interfaith dialogue. For those concerned with the emergence of a universal spirituality, Christ the Yogi is a source of light, a translucent pool of wisdom that offers from its depths an immense and lasting spiritual vision.

GALACTIC ALIGNMENT: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian & Vedic Traditions  GALACTIC ALIGNMENT: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian & Vedic Traditions (Code #BX79)

John Major Jenkins

The Galactic Alignment is a rare astronomical event that brings the solstice sun into alignment with the center of the Milky Way galaxy every 12,960 years. Building on the discoveries of his book Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, Jenkins demonstrates that the end-date of 2012 does not signal the end of time but rather the beginning of a new stage in the development of human consciousness. He recovers a striking common thread that connects the ancient cosmological insights of the Maya not only to Egyptian thought and Vedic philosophy but also to the diversity of humankind's metaphysical traditions ranging from Celtic sacred topography and Medieval alchemy to the Kabbalah and Islamic astrology. His work presents us with a groundbreaking synthesis of lost wisdom once common to ancient cosmologies that will help us understand the significance of this transformative cosmic milestone.

HINDUISM  HINDUISM (Code #BG80)

R C Zaehner

"the best short introduction to Hinduism in existence ...a really first-class guide to its ancient roots and to its subtle blend of the mythological and the metaphysical." - The Guardian.

Hinduism is both a way of life and a highly organised social and religious system, but in the modern world its essentials, perhaps more than those of any other major religion, are undergoing a process of redefenition. What then are the key concepts of Hinduism? Professor Zaehner's book traces these through the four-thousand-year development of Hinduism, and is concerned to elucidate, as the author put it, "the changeless ground from which the proliferating jungle that seems to be Hinduism grows."
