Language: EnglishPages: 252 (Throughout 14 Color Illustrations)Preface Now, I realize that creating a 'great book' is not an easy mission. Writing an ordinary book is a very simple task that needs very little time and very ordinary efforts, but really creating something novel, original, different, useful and worth reading is an endeavour that needs perseverance, toil and strong determination. I had done every effort in making this book as a great book that has come in your hands. 'Creation' is a very unique and different word that refers to something new. The book named "Vastu Shastra in Modern Context" is not merely a book on Vastu, but a spark that may induce a big curiosity in the minds of the readers for its scientific approach and gradually it shall solve all the questions. This book has come up very successfully to define and describe every vastu factor with the help of scientific logic. The essence of the book lies in blowing up the superstitious connotation and creating the logical basis in the minds of the common masses. As a whole work, this book is an ocean of knowledge in which I have put in my complete efforts to make each sentence meaningful, each paragraph useful, each page valuable & each chapter relevant. I did not aim at making each person on this earth to be a Vastu believer, but I am sure that one who thoroughly goes through this book shall definitely realize that there is nothing irrational or superstitious in Vastu Shastra, but every principle of Vastu Shastra revolves around the scientific reasoning. Hence, it has no relation with any particular caste, creed, race, religion or belief. It is a universal natural phenomenon which is applicable to all. Vastu Shastra in Modern Context' is more advanced, innovative and unconventional with many new topics which are hardly to be found in most

All sentient beings without exception have buddha nature—the inherent purity and perfection of the mind, untouched by changing mental states. Thus there is neither any reason for conceit in deeming oneself better than others nor any reason for self-contempt, thinking of oneself as inferior and unable to reach enlightenment. This seeing is obscured by veils which are removable and do not touch the inherent purity and perfection of the nature of the mind as such. The Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra, one of the Five Treatises said to have been dictated to Asanga by the Bodhisattva Maitreya, presents the Buddha's definitive teachings on how we should understand this ground of enlightenment and clarifies the nature and qualities of buddhahood. Jamgön Kongtrül Lodro Thaye (1813–1899), the profoundly learned and realized master who compiled what are known as the "Five Great Treasures," wrote the outstanding commentary to the Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra translated here. Called The Unassailable Lion's Roar, it presents Maitreya's text as a background for the Mahamudra teachings in a way that is especially clear and easy to understand. Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche provided the annotations and the explanations on which the present translation is based. A renowned scholar and highly accomplished yogi, he is a living example of the ongoing tradition of oral transmission. He first visited the West in 1977 at the request of H.H. the Sixteenth Karmapa. Rosemarie Fuchs has been a student of Khen Rinpoche since 1978, and this translation was done upon his advice.

Utterly frank in its attitude to sex, the Kama Sutra is Vatsyayana's classic study of the arts of love. In this new translation, Indra Sinha captures the beautiful, vivid language of the original as well as the humor that's been lost in previous versions.

Language: EnglishPages: 192 (Illustrated Throughout in Full Color)From the Jacket:Follow your bliss. Find where it is, And don't be afraid to follow it.--Joseph Campbell, The Power of MythThe quest for sublime bliss has been an enduring phenomenon. As the world increasingly turns to ancient wisdom in its search for peace and happiness, the recurring theme is the need to banish negativity and excess. Spiritual texts explore the hidden dimensions of the unity between the human and the divine, and acknowledge that any path that leads to understanding and realization of bliss is acceptable-including sexuality. From the erotic works of the Bhakti movement, in which extreme devotion seamlessly merges with sensuality, and Tantrics who used maithuna or intercourse as the preferred means to seek supreme consciousness, from the ascetic Shiva to Krishna, the embodiment of the sringara rasa, sex has always been mystical, for in it lies the mysteries of the universe. Thus rather than a means to seek the divine. Call it love, worship, selfless devotion, service, compassion or Bhakti, Jnana, Karma, Kama, Tantra, all lead to the same divine energy. 'The truth is one, but the wise refer to it by various names.'About the Author:Sandhya Mulchandani has been an author and a journalist for well over two decades. She is the author of The Indian Man-His True Colours, a book on the urban Indian male, as well as Kama Sutra for Women, which brings the ancient Indian treatise on love to women.

She has also co-authored Love and Lust, an anthology of erotic literature from ancient and medieval India, and has been working on a dissertation on ancient concepts of ethics

A bejewelled reminder for the compassionate, romantic, artistic, intensely empathic, and sensitive Pisces women. Pisces is represented by 2 fish and we present you with these beautiful diamond fish swimming around to bring you prosperity and luck as believed in Feng Shui. In Vastu Shastra, it is said that the presence of fish brings wealth, happiness, and prosperity at home. Fishes bring peace to the mind and carry all the negativity with them. You're awesome and so is your new jewellery. Your Fine Jewellery will last forever if you take good care of it. 1. Clean with mild Soap and soft brush and scrub gently. Always dry your pieces as completely as possible. Repeated use of your gold and diamond jewellery can eventually dull its shine due to a layer of grime that results from dust, sweat and makeup. 2. Better to take off our jewellery before activities that are potentially high-impact, gym, moving furnitures, when gardening or cleaning. 3. Take off your gold jewellery before getting into a swimming pool or a hot tub. Gold can be altered and even damaged by acids, abrasives and other harsh chemicals. 4. Put it on last, take it off first. Perfume, hair sprays, and lotions can potentially harm and will certainly dirty your pieces. 5. Store your jewellery separately in a jewellery box so that pieces do not tangle, rub or scratch against each other.

Graha Sutras is the first Volume of a series of Jyoitsh texts dealing with the predictive methods and principles found in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. 384 pages of Grahas, Planets and more Grahas make Graha Sutras the most thorough text available on the Planets. Contains Sanskrit Astrological Sutras with original and precise translations that will bring the planets to life in a profound manner. Original artwork portrays the images of the planets in accordance with the precise descriptions found in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. There is even a chapter devoted to Graha Shanti - pacifying the planets. This Vedic Astrology text is largely a commentary of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastras Sutras on the Grahas. The translation will often be found to be slightly different than what is in the available translations as I have striven to give a more precise and literal and, as mentioned, more accurate translation than most. Where my translations differ on significant points I have explained my reasoning as to the correctness of my translation. In addition to the Sutras provided by Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, I have found it worthwhile to add a few Sutras from other important texts such as Jataka Parijata and Yavana Jataka. Lastly I have included two chapters entirely my own: one on Grahas and numbers and the other on the myths surrounding the Grahas. My intention is thus to present an entirely complete manual for the study of the Grahas, after which you will only be in need of deepening your contemplations on this vast subject.
