The Upanishads (Classic of Indian Spirituality)

17 reviews

Nilgiri Press, 2007

Timeless Knowing
The perennial philosophy proposes that an infinite, unchanging reality exists behind the illusion of ceaseless change apparent in the material world, and, that this infinite unchanging reality remains at the core of all existence. Discoveries made in the field of quantum physics support this philosophy and serve as encouragement to all who believe the philosophy's third premise: it is the purpose ...

Broader understanding of the Christian tradition
This wonderful and beautiful trilogy sheds new light on classic Christian texts and individuals. If you're allergic to Christianity, these books will allow you to view the religion in a more tolerant and enlightened perspective. Easwaran's Eastern take on the subjects will both give Christians a different approach to their tradition, and non-Christians a more accessible outlet in which to ...

Conquest of Mind

Eknath Easwaran

Nilgiri Press, 2001

How to get control of your life
I read this book after reading Easwaran's "Take Your Time", which had introduced me to the idea that controlling your mind was the key to getting your life into balance. Like that book, "Conquest of Mind" is deceptively easy to read, full of stories that lead you gently through a set of ideas until Easwaran suddenly presents you with a conclusion that makes unarguable sense. If you want a book ...

An Incredibly Easy Way to Relax and Focus
My husband read this book, and recommended that I read it as I mostly confidently, though sometimes stressfully, waded through the challenges of opening my own small business. Within the first few short chapters, Mr. Easwaran gives you a tip for remaining calm and focused, that is as easy as repeating the same few words silently to yourself. Like most of you, I have my family, friends, church, ...

The Dhammapada (Classics of Indian Spirituality)

31 reviews

Nilgiri Press, 2007

An excellent translation by a non-Buddhist scholar
I have read several English translations of the Dhammapada --a dozen partially, half a dozen totally. As a non-Pali reader, I do not have any opinion on the grammatical quality of such translations. By reading any two, you will easily understand the difficulty of putting ancient eastern texts in west languages. As a rule, however, the spirit of most of the versions remains clear and transmits a ...

Gandhi
This book was recommended to me by a friend who teaches English at the local college. What a great book! It's not a hefty read - but you feel you get a complete overview of the man and his life's contributions. Highly recommend this book at anyone whether they are a long time Gandhi fan, or someone who just wants to know more about this amazing world leader.

EKNATH EASWARAN (TRANSLATOR)

ARKANA, 1986

A Jewel of Spiritual Wisdom
This is the second book in Easwaran's series, Classics of Indian Spirituality, that I have read. This work is one of the most important spiritual writings ever created. Easwaran's translation is easily readable, and his introduction to the Bhagavad Gita is priceless. Easwaran had such a pleasant, inviting, and passionate way of describing the mystical experience of Self-realiztion that one is ...

Makes the Gita more accessible and gives food for thought
Easwaran, a contemporary Hindu spiritual teacher presents the Bhagavad Gita, explained verse by verse with the help of anecdotes that range from the classics of Indian and English literature to gently humorous stories drawn from his own life in India and in Berkeley, California. This three-volume project took ten years; he did it out of inspiration for Gandhi who was said to have used the ...

Meditation: A Simple Eight-Point Program for Translating Spiritual Ideals into Daily Life

Eknath Easwaran

Nilgiri Press, 1993

A practical, interfaith introduction to meditation
A valuable and beautiful little book, filled with practical instruction, gentle good humor, and lots of personal anecdotes by a spiritual teacher from India who knew Gandhi and eventually made his way to Berkeley CA to set up a meditation center. I have sifted through this book in the past, hitting the anecdotes out of sequence, because it's so enjoyable and readable, but this time I sat ...

Guide for living
I've read this book three times and am planning to read it again. It's a wonderful book that helps me focus on what's important in life and how I can make choices to live authentically and deliberately. Reading this book helped me to make the decision to quit smoking and live a more healthy lifestyle. I would recommend this book to anyone who's asking the question "What's it all about?".

Nilgiri Press, 2005

daily readings for inspiration or education
Easwaran takes a short quotation from a wide range of sources, and unpacks the meaning in a way that is uncanny and speaks straight to the heart. The appeal is that you don't have to understand all this brilliant philosophy and wisdom in one go: Easwaran takes just one idea for today and shows how to apply it to your life today. A great way to start the day, or to use in a discussion group or a ...

The many faces of the Divine
I read this book at the age of twenty-two, having been deeply interested in Eastern religions (including Hinduism) since studying them in my Global Studies class at age fourteen. This book reawakened my interest in Hinduism, particularly the Krishna sect. Vishnu had always been my favourite of the three major Hindu gods, since he preserves life, so it was a real treat to read a book about his ...

Please, read Arif H. Akhunzada's Review with caution!
I request customers and other visitors to read the article by Arif H. Akhunzada titled "Bacha Khan legacy is Questionable" with caution because in Pakistan objective interpretation and description of history is mostly marred by the official stand on history enshrined in the so-called "Pakistan Ideology". Pakistan Ideology i.e. the Idea that sparked the struggle for Pakistan is a highly ...
