| markandeya purana durga saptashati: In Praise of the Goddess , 2003-12-01 About 16 centuries ago, an unknown Indian author or authors gathered together the diverse threads of already ancient traditions and wove them into a verbal tapestry that today is still the central text for worshippers of the Hindu Devi, the Divine Mother. This spiritual classic, the Devimahatmya, addresses the perennial questions of the nature of the universe, humankind, and divinity. How are they related, how do we live in a world torn between good and evil, and how do we find lasting satisfaction and inner peace? These questions and their answers form the substance of the Devimahatmya. Its narrative of a dispossessed king, a merchant betrayed by the family he loves, and a seer whose teaching leads beyond existential suffering sets the stage for a trilogy of myths concerning the all-powerful Divine Mother, Durga, and the fierce battles she wages against throngs of demonic foes. In these allegories, her adversaries represent our all-too-human impulses toward power, possessions, and pleasure. The battlefields symbolize the field of human consciousness on which our lives' dramas play out in joy and sorrow, in wisdom and folly. The Devimahatmya speaks to us across the ages of the experiences and beliefs of our ancient ancestors. We sense their enchantment at nature's bounty and their terror before its destructive fury, their recognition of the good and evil in the human heart, and their understanding that everything in our experience is the expression of a greater reality, personified as the Divine Mother. |

| markandeya purana durga saptashati: The Theory of Entirety , 2024-07-20 The Theory of Entirety© as its name suggests, encompasses the entirety of creation—both visible and invisible, spanning all ages and dimensions, known and unknown. This groundbreaking work explores the interplay between faster-than-light phenomena and singularity, presenting a unified nature of the infinite cosmos in which our universe is exponentially expanding. In other word, The Theory of Entirety© posits that the universe and multiple universes originated from a timeless, pre-existing state called Entirety. This state was achieved through instantaneous speed faster than light, in no time. Within this serene and eternal state, any occurrence of a Big Bang results in the birth of a universe or multiverse with a date of origin. The Big Bang, which happened 13.8 billion years ago, created the universe within this state. Entirety remains a fundamental, unchanging source, unlike the manipulable universe. To express this profound concept, the book introduces two aspects of a revolutionary formula, both extending beyond Einstein's energy equation of E=mc². In contrast to this, Entirety is basically explained as ∑ = č²(0) =1 ∝ ∞. This notation encapsulates the idea of entirety as a singular, indivisible entity that includes all cosmic phenomena achieved in no time consumed ever (0). This equation can be expressed two aspects to provide same valuable perspectives on its core concept: [I] ∑ = č²(0) ∝ ∞: This equation emphasizes the timelessness and the instantaneous aspect of the entirety. By incorporating zero time, it suggests that the state of entirety is achieved without any temporal duration, highlighting a key aspect of the infinite and eternal nature of the cosmos. This perspective aligns well with the idea of Entirety being beyond the constraints of time and space. [II] ∑ = č²1 ∝ ∞: This equation emphasizes the singularity and indivisibility of the cosmic void. By using 1 to represent the unique cosmic void, it underscores the foundational and unified nature of the entirety. This perspective aligns well with the idea of Entirety as a singular, unified entity encompassing all cosmic phenomena. Unlike the Universe, Entirety is infinite, indivisible, cannot be added with anything, cannot be reduced in any manner, nor can be multiplied or is non-multipliable, meaning the conventional mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication, which are applicable in empirical mathematics, are inapplicable when dealing with the Entirety. The Entirety is absolute, represented by the cosmic void as 1, encompassing everything within it. This characteristic emphasizes the uniqueness and singularity of the Entirety, setting it apart from the finite and measurable universe. Closer to the Concept of Entirety Given that Entirety encompasses both the timeless nature and the singular, indivisible state, ∑ = č²(0) ∝ ∞ might be slightly closer to the concept of Entirety as it captures the essential idea of being beyond time, which is a fundamental characteristic of an infinite and unified cosmos. This equation highlights the instantaneous aspect of achieving this state, resonating with the notion of Entirety as a state that transcends temporal and spatial limitations. However, both equations together provide a comprehensive understanding of Entirety, incorporating both its timelessness and its foundational singularity. They complement each other in expressing the full scope of the concept so in the book, both aspects have been explained gradually. Proposing this unique equation marks a significant advancement in modern physics for several reasons: 1. It provides tangible substantiation of spiritual statements. 2. It redefines the universe as a smaller unit within the entirety. 3. It confirms the existence of an outer cosmic phenomenon. 4. It extends Einstein's energy equation, breaking its previous limits. 5. It offers exceptional insights into the concept of the Cosmic Void ...and much more, but where the Core Ideas of The Theory of Entirety© are : 1. The universe is part of a larger, unified, and infinite entity called the Entirety. 2. Everything within the Entirety is interconnected, forming a single, indivisible whole. 3. The Entirety is timeless, existing beyond the limitations of time and space. 4. The cosmic void is not just empty space, but a fundamental aspect of the Entirety, representing its singularity and indivisibility. The Theory of Entirety© thus explores the profound mysteries of existence. It bridges the gap between science and spirituality, offering innovative perspectives on the nature of the cosmos.

| markandeya purana durga saptashati: Devi Mr̥ṇāla Pāṇḍe, 1996 Writer and journalist Mrinal Pande sees in strong passionate women who defy the strictures of a male-dominated world, shades of the Goddess. There were many such women in her life, women who succeeded beyond the expectations of men. First, there was her forceful mother, the writer Shivani. Then came Badi Amma, the most colourful woman in this book, her domineering, intellectual aunt. There were the friends who silently lived lives of emotional deprivation till they opted out of the world altogether. There were women who made the news--among them prostitutes, activists and reformers. And there were also the women who preyed on men, in conscious contempt of their vulnerability in the grip of sexual passion. In all these women, the writer sees the original Devi, created by the Gods to quell the forces of evil that they had themselves failed to contain, but quickly dismissed by them once victory was theirs. But the Devi keeps coming back in a myriad manifestations of herself, sorrowing, vengeful, but always the prime mover in the lives of men through the ages... |

| markandeya purana durga saptashati: Shakti Vanamali, 2008-07-21 Presents the mystery of the Divine Mother in all her manifold aspects • Explores more than 30 different goddess aspects of the Shakti force, both beneficial and malefic • Includes Sanskrit hymns and classic verses by Sri Auribindo for each of the goddesses Shakti is synonymous with the Devi, the Divine Mother or divine power that manifests, sustains, and transforms the universe. She is the womb of all creatures, and it is through her that the One becomes the many. Our first and primary relationship to the world is through the mother, the source of love, security, and nourishment. Extending this relationship to worship of a cosmic being as mother was a natural step found not only in the Shakti cult of Hinduism but also in ancient Greek, Egyptian, and Babylonian cultures. Shakti presents more than 30 goddess incarnations of the Divine Mother that represent both the beneficial and malefic aspects of the Shakti force. From Lakshmi, Parvati, and Saraswati to Durga, Chandika, and Kali--each of the different functions of the female goddesses in the Hindu pantheon is revealed, accompanied by traditional Sanskrit hymns, classic verses by Sri Auribindo, and discussions of tantric philosophy. The author draws from the Devi Bhagavatham, which describes all the stories of Shakti, and the Devi Mahatmyam, the most powerful scriptural text that glorifies Shakti in her form as Durga. Using these texts she shows that through the power and grace of the Divine Mother we may be released from the darkness of ignorance and taken to the abode of knowledge, immortality, and bliss--the source from which we have come. |

| markandeya purana durga saptashati: Shiva Vanamali, 2013-10-04 The traditional understanding of Shiva told through stories and teachings from the Shiva Mahapurana • Explains Shiva’s contradictory forms, such as destroyer or benefactor, and how his form depends on the needs of the devotee • Reveals how Shiva’s teachings allow one to see through the illusions at the root of all grief and alienation in human life • Explores Shiva’s relationships with Durga, Shakti, Sati, and Parvati and with his sons Ganesha and Kartikeya Shiva, the most ancient and complex deity of the Hindu pantheon, has been portrayed in many contrasting lights: destroyer and benefactor, ascetic and householder, wild demon slayer and calm yogi atop Mount Kailash. Drawing from the Hindu sacred text the Shiva Mahapurana--said to be written by Shiva himself--Vanamali selects the essential stories of Shiva, both those from his dark wild side and those from his benevolent peaceful side. Vanamali discusses Shiva’s many avatars such as Shambunatha and Bhola, as well as Dakshinamurti who taught the shastras and tantras to the rishis. She explores Shiva’s relationships with Durga, Shakti, Sati, and Parvati and with his sons Ganesha and Kartikeya. Examining Shiva’s acceptance of outsiders, Vanamali explains why ghosts and ghouls are his attendants and why his greatest devotees are demon kings, like Ravana. She includes famous Shiva stories such as the Descent of the River Ganga and Churning the Milky Ocean as well as those that reveal the origin of the festival of lights, Diwali; his creation of the cosmic couple, or hierogamos; and how Shiva and Parvati taught the world the secrets of Kundalini Shakti. The author also draws upon Shaivite teachings to illustrate the differences between Western science and Vedic science and their explanations for the origins of consciousness. Integrating Shiva’s two sides, the fierce and the peaceful, Vanamali reveals that Shiva’s form depends on the needs of the devotee. Understanding his teachings allows one to see through the illusions at the root of all grief and alienation in human life, for Shiva is the wielder of maya who does not fall under its spell. While Ganesha is known as the remover of obstacles, Shiva is the remover of tears. |

| markandeya purana durga saptashati: The Immortal Science Vijay Singh Rajput, 2020-07-29 The Immortal Science is a tale of a Shiva and Adi-Sakti, who emerged from Singularity as a pre-destined meet to love and to create the universe. The book is based on the chronology of the universe according to Vedic Science in which mass, energy, space and time are the result of Anahad Naada, which is called ‘Big Bang’ by modern science. Vedic science narrates the cause of Big Bang and also the stage before the Big Bang, i.e. Anahad Naada, phase of inflation in the form of Maha-Vishnu, and the beginning of time as a Brahma. The summon of Rudra and the onset of war between matter and antimatter, the grand unification theory (Ishaan Shiva) and splitting of four fundamental forces in the form of four Rudras are discussed in this book. The story starts with the appearance of “Pashupat,” the radiant effulgence in the form of cosmic microwave background (CMB). |

It is born not from the urge to teach, but from the longing to understand.

Through the lens of compassion and curiosity, I have listened to the unheard, felt the unspoken, and now, attempt to retell the often-forgotten. In these pages, you won’t just find dates or dynasties, rituals or deities. You will walk alongside sages under starlit skies, witness civilizations rise with chants of devotion, and feel the pulse of a culture that breathes not just in temples, but in the smallest acts of living. This journey through the history of Hinduism is not linear—it spirals like the sacred conch, inward and outward, echoing the eternal rhythm of the universe. It is for the wanderer, the wonderer, the believer, and the doubter. I invite you not merely to read, but to feel. Not to follow, but to flow. For history, after all, is not what happened—it is what remains alive. |

| markandeya purana durga saptashati: Devī-māhātmya Thomas B. Coburn, 1984 The Devi-Mahatmya is well-known to both devotees and scholars of the Indian Great Goddess. The central task in this study is to explore how an anonymous Sanskrit text articulates a view of ultimate reality as feminine when there is virtually no precedent in the Sanskrit for such a view. To accomplish this task, an appropriate method of scriptural analysis is developed. This involves an examination of Hindu understanding of the Puranas and of the Devi-Mahatmya in particular, along with consideration of several recent scholarly discussions, in India and elsewhere. The study culminates in annotated translations of the text's hymns. |

Popular meanings (like Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva) and rare meanings (like inhalation, holding the breath, and exhalation) are included. The book contains teachings and narratives related to OM from Veda-s, Upanishad-s, Smriti-s, Purana-s, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Gita, Yoga, Tantra, Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and Shaktism. Pearls on OM from poems, plays, and works on music and Ayurveda are presented. The use of OM in Yogic breathing and meditation is explained and the explanations/relevance of OM in Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism is briefly touched upon.

There are many such stories and tradition bearers who doggedly go on in spite of the onslaught of the digital media. The author here has tried his best in keeping these traditions alive by not only telling the stories but also by living with the story tellers themselves. The rich details give us a window to a world which is not only very far away for our everyday mundane existence but also makes us retrospect on what we are missing out. Each of the tradition bearers are different and so are their stories and the region to which they belong. These are not merely stories but a way of life for these oral narrators who are fast disappearing in today’s consumerist landscape. The need of the hour is to keep alive these traditions and the tradition bearers. |
| markandeya purana durga saptashati: The Spirit of Indian Painting B N Goswamy, 2014-12-01 This magnificent, lavishly illustrated book by India’s most eminent and perceptive art historian, B.N. Goswamy, will open readers’ eyes to the wonders of Indian painting, and show them new ways of seeing and appreciating art. An illuminating introductory essay, ‘A Layered World’, explains the themes and emotions that inspired Indian painters, the values and influences that shaped their work, and the unique ways in which they depicted time and space. It describes, too, the characteristics of the different regional styles, the relationship between patrons and painters, the milieu in which they created their works, and the tools and techniques the painters used. The second part of this book consists of ‘Close Encounters with 101 Great Works’. Carefully selected by Prof. Goswamy and spanning nearly a thousand years, these works range from Jain manuscripts, and Rajasthani, Mughal, Pahari and Deccani miniatures, to Company School paintings. His description and analysis of these works unlock the treasures that lie within them and show us how to ‘read’ each painting, as he points out its finest features, explains its visual vocabulary and symbolism, and recounts the story, legend or event that inspired it. Combining deep scholarship with great storytelling, this is a book of enduring value that will both educate and delight the reader. It is destined to become a classic. |
| markandeya purana durga saptashati: Kamandalu Shrikala Warrier, 2014 Hindu theology views rivers as goddesses who confer blessings and spiritual purification and their release from the grip of the demon of drought is a recurring theme in the mythology. India is a country blessed with many rivers, but of these, seven are considered to be particularly important. Known collectively as Saptaganga, Sapta Sindhu or Saptapunyanadi, the Ganges, Yamuna, Sindhu, Sarasvati, Godavari, Narmada and Kaveri rivers are invoked at the start of every ritual. They weave through sacred narratives about gods, sages and heroes and define the physical, spiritual and cultural landscape of Bharatavarsha. |

| markandeya purana durga saptashati: Reading Sri Aurobindo Gautam Chikermane, 2022-08-22 Sri Aurobindo dedicated his life to the transformation of humanity. His journey saw him traverse many paths, including that of poet, journalist, jailed revolutionary, philosopher, and radical mystic. Essays, translations, literary criticism, political articles, philosophical treatises, poetry, epics, plays and short stories-his writings encompass the depth and range of his extraordinary life. The modern sage commented on spiritual texts such as the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagwad Gita, authored an epic poem, Savitri, presented his integral vision in The Life Divine, wrote on contemporary issues, all the while writing thousands of letters to guide his disciples, and even documenting his inner life in meticulous detail. The relevance of Sri Aurobindo's message has never been more urgent and compelling, yet, his Complete Works, thirty-six volumes in all, can be a daunting prospect even for those acquainted with his philosophy and practice. Reading Sri Aurobindo introduces each of these volumes through the perspectives of twenty-one contributors. The result is a book packed with insights inviting us to explore Sri Aurobindo's deep wisdom and vision for resolving the fundamental issues facing individuals, societies, and nations today. |
| markandeya purana durga saptashati: The Sacred Sounds of Sri Vidya Vinita Rashinkar, 2022-10-06 “Sri Vidya begins where the current understanding of quantum physics ends,” say modern-day scholars about this little-known, highly esoteric spiritual tradition that has been kept under wraps by its practitioners. Sri Vidya practice is a three-fold one, encompassing mantra (sacred sound), yantra (sacred geometry) and tantra (a technique or framework for worship). Learning about the mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition is fascinating as much as it is frustrating because information about its various aspects is exceptionally hard to find. This book endeavours to explore the main mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition and understand them as the unfolding of Shakti, the inherent power which lies at the core of our being and holds the key to our worldly and spiritual success. Our minds and beliefs can be our strongest allies or our worst enemies. The book delves into concepts such as the importance of building the right narrative about life and the need for ritual in modern-day lifestyle. Samskara, vritti and vasana are described along with a detailed study of tantra and Sri Vidya before a discussion on mantras in general and then focusing on the mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition. The subjects covered seek to establish the context of mantra sadhana in Sri Vidya is to be approached, combining elements of knowledge, devotion and ritual. We live in a time of deep insecurity, stuck in the midst of a feeling of scarcity, stress and self-limiting beliefs. This book offers everyone an opportunity to learn and experience the benefits of mantra sadhana of Sri Vidya and enjoy a life of abundance in all aspects of life – good health, meaningful relationships, success at work, peace and bliss in the spiritual path. The author has kept in mind the sensibilities of the modern spiritual seeker and their needs and interests, presenting the information in a non-dogmatic and practical manner. This is the fourth book by the author in the Spirituality series. The first book was about the Sri Chakra Yantra, the second was about Chakras and the third was Tantra, Mantra and Yantra of Sri Vidya. |
