THE PRINCIPLES OF SUFISM (PB)

₹245.18 M.R.P.:₹ 299.00 You Save: ₹53.82 (18.00% OFF)

The Principles of Sufism is a mystical guide book to help others on their spiritual path. Outlining the four principles of Repentance, Sincerity, Remembrance, and Love, it traces the fundamental stages and states of the spiritual novice’s transformative journey, emphasizing the importance of embracing both human limitations and God’s limitless love. Drawing on lessons and readings from centuries-old Sufi tradition, ‘A’ishah advises the seeker to repent of selfishness and turn to a sincere life of love. In addition to his lucid translation, Th. Emil Homerin provides an insightful introduction, notes and a glossary to ‘A’ishah al-Ba‘uniyyah’s remarkable account of the pursuit of mystical illumination. ‘A’ishah al-Ba‘uniyyah of Damascus was one of the great women scholars in Islamic history. Born into a prominent family of pious scholars and Sufi devotees, ‘A’ishah received a thorough religious education and memorized the Quran at age eight. A mystic and a prolific poet and writer, she composed more works in Arabic than any other woman before the twentieth century. Yet despite her extraordinary literary and religious achievements, ‘A’ishah al- Ba‘uniyyah remains largely unknown. For the first time, her key work, The Principles of Sufism, is available in English translation.

YOU ARE THE SUPEREME LIGHT LIFE LESSONS FROM ADI SHANKARA (HB)

₹327.18 M.R.P.:₹ 399.00 You Save: ₹71.82 (18.00% OFF)

Adi Shankara was one of the greatest philosophers of India. Probably born in the eighth century CE in modern Kerala, he established the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta and unified the six main schools of Hinduism. He travelled across the Indian subcontinent—from Kanyakumari in the south to Kashmir in the north and Dwarka in the west to Puri in the east—propagating his philosophy through debates and discourses, establishing monasteries and monastic orders. He participated in philosophical debates with orthodox schools of Hinduism and heterodox traditions. He established several mathas or monasteries, inspired by the ancient ashramas (hermitages), all over the country, which have ensured the continuity of his teachings. By the time he died at the age of thirty-two, he had produced a cornucopia of commentaries on ancient Indian texts as well as original philosophical works which contain some of the greatest gems of human thought on the concept of oneness with the Supreme Being, caste and equality, meditation, knowledge, self-realization, moksha, pride, attachment, maya and much more. Edited by Nanditha Krishna, the aphorisms in ‘You Are the Supreme Light’ are culled from his greatest teachings and provide lessons on how to lead a fulfilling life. They are as relevant today as they were when Shankara first expounded his philosophy centuries ago.

According to the Mayan calendar, 2012 is the year when humanity will witness great changes. These changes, it has been assumed will be catastrophic, but Mayan sources speak of a transition that will take place to a more spiritual way of being. The Eye of the Gods is a first-person account of Ah Ak tun, born to Mayan parents in the Mayan region of Tikal, Mexico in ad 673. After the death of his father he is adopted by a venerable high priest who nurtures him to be his successor and weans him in the ways of the ancient Mayas and their special relationship with nature. He teaches him the significance of belonging to a priestly class that is duty-bound to oversee the activities of governors, merchants, and politicians during times of war and peace. Ah Ak tun in turn recounts his tale to his successor and this is the substance of this novel, which gives us special insights into the cosmology of an ancient people.

THE SELECTED WORKS OF KAHLIL GIBRAN

₹319.95 M.R.P.:₹ 395.00 You Save: ₹75.05 (19.00% OFF)

The Selected Works Of Kahlil Gibran presents the Lebanese-American author, poet and philosopher, Kahlil Gibran’s 13 most iconic works—philosophical reflections and essays, stories and parables, poems in prose and verse and more. His perennial classic, The Prophet (1923), is an exploration of life and the human condition through the metaphorical return of Prophet Almustafa to his birthplace, Orphalese. In The Broken Wings (1912), Gibran poetically reveals his first love and the feelings it evokes. Sand and Foam (1926) is a priceless collection of parables and aphorisms, which draws on a world of kings, hermits, saints, slaves, animals and wind, enriched with the author’s mystical drawings and sketches. Between Night and Morn (1972) presents Gibran’s scathing indictments of worldly wrongs and his tender spiritual jubilation. Spirits Rebellious (1908)—an invitation to reflect on societal norms and earthly laws that rob human beings of the freedom to live and breathe as free souls—was burnt in the marketplace of Beirut at the time of its publication. The other works included in this collection are The Wanderer (1932), The Madman (1918), The Forerunner (1920), The Earth Gods (1931), Tears and Laughter (1914) and Secrets of the Heart (1947), making it the perfect read for those who believe in the power of love to overcome all forms of persecution and injustice.

REFLECTIONS SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

The grandest idea in the religion of the Vedanta is that we may reach the same goal by different paths; and these paths I have generalised into four, viz. those of work, love, psychology, and knowledge. But you must, at the same time, remember that these divisions are not very marked and quite exclusive of each other. Each blends into the other. But according to the type which prevails, we name the divisions. It is not that you can find men who have no other faculty than that of work, nor that you can find men who are no more than devoted worshippers only, nor that there are men who have no more than mere knowledge. These divisions are made in accordance with the type or the tendency that may be seen to prevail in a man. We have found that, in the end, all these four paths converge and become one. All religions and all methods of work and worship lead us to one and the same goal.

HOW TO BE: Life Lessons from the Early Greeks

₹655.18 M.R.P.:₹ 799.00 You Save: ₹143.82 (18.00% OFF)

"What is the nature of things? Must I think my own way through the world? What is justice? How can I be me? How should we treat each other?Before the Greeks, the idea of the world was dominated by god-kings and their priests, in a life ruled by imagined metaphysical monsters. 2,500 years ago, in a succession of small eastern Mediterranean harbour-cities, that way of thinking began to change. Men (and some women) decided to cast off mental subservience and apply their own worrying and thinking minds to the conundrums of life.These great innovators shaped the beginnings of philosophy. Through the questioning voyager Odysseus, Homer explored how we might navigate our way through the world. Heraclitus in Ephesus was the first to consider the interrelatedness of things. Xenophanes of Colophon was the first champion of civility. In Lesbos, the Aegean island of Sappho and Alcaeus, the early lyric poets asked themselves ‘How can I be true to myself?’ In Samos, Pythagoras imagined an everlasting soul and took his ideas to Italy where they flowered again in surprising and radical forms.Prize-winning writer Adam Nicolson travels through this transforming world and asks what light these ancient thinkers can throw on our deepest preconceptions. Sparkling with maps, photographs and artwork, How to Be is a journey into the origins of Western thought.Hugely formative ideas emerged in these harbour-cities: fluidity of mind, the search for coherence, a need for the just city, a recognition of the mutability of things, a belief in the reality of the ideal — all became the Greeks’ legacy to the world.Born out of a rough, dynamic—and often cruel— moment in human history, it was the dawn of enquiry, where these fundamental questions about self, city and cosmos, asked for the first time, became, as they remain, the unlikely bedrock of understanding."

DAWN OF A MINDFUL UNIVERSE, THE

₹1,012.50 M.R.P.:₹ 1,350.00 You Save: ₹337.50 (25.00% OFF)

An award-winning astronomer and physicist’s spellbinding and urgent call for a new Enlightenment and the recognition of the preciousness of life using reason and curiosity—the foundations of science—to study, nurture, and ultimately preserve humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change.Since Copernicus, humanity has increasingly seen itself as adrift, an insignificant speck within a large, cold universe. Brazilian physicist, astronomer, and winner of the 2019 Templeton Prize Marcelo Gleiser argues that it is because we have lost the spark of the Enlightenment that has guided human development over the past several centuries. While some scientific efforts have been made to overcome this increasingly bleak perspective—the ongoing search for life on other planets, the recent idea of the multiverse—they have not been enough to overcome the core problem: we’ve lost our moral mission and compassionate focus in our scientific endeavors.Gleiser argues that we’re using the wrong paradigm to relate to the universe and our position in it. In this deeply researched and beautifully rendered book, he calls for us to embrace a new life-centric perspective, one which recognizes just how rare and precious life is and why it should be our mission to preserve and nurture it. The Dawn of a Mindful Universe addresses the current environmental and scientific impasses and how the scientific community can find solutions to them.Gleiser’s paradigm rethinks the ideals of the Enlightenment, and proposes a new direction for humanity, one driven by human reason and curiosity whose purpose is to save civilization itself. Within this model, we can once again see ourselves as the center of the universe—the place where life becomes conscious—and regain a clear moral compass which can be used to guide both science and the politics around it.
