Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guru English is a bold reconceptualization of the scope and meaning of cosmopolitanism, examining the language of South Asian religiosity as it has flourished both inside and outside of its original context for the past two hundred years. The book surveys a specific set of religious vocabularies from South Asia that, Aravamudan argues, launches a different kind of cosmopolitanism into global use. Using "Guru English" as a tagline for the globalizing idiom that has grown up around these religions, Aravamudan traces the diffusion and transformation of South Asian religious discourses as they shuttled between East and West through English-language use. The book demonstrates that cosmopolitanism is not just a secular Western "discourse that results from a disenchantment with religion, but something that can also be refashioned from South Asian religion when these materials are put into dialogue with contemporary social move-ments and literary texts. Aravamudan looks at "religious forms of neoclassicism, nationalism, Romanticism, postmodernism, and nuclear millenarianism, bringing together figures such as Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Mahatma Gandhi, and Deepak Chopra with Rudyard Kipling, James Joyce, Robert Oppenheimer, and Salman Rushdie. Guru English analyzes writers and gurus, literary texts and religious movements, and the political uses of religion alongside the literary expressions of religious teachers, showing the cosmopolitan interconnections between the Indian subcontinent, the British Empire, and the American New Age.

Download or read book HUKAMNAMA ENGLISH written by Manmohan Singh Sethi and published by Sukan Publishing Universe. This book was released on 2016-08-27 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembrance of God is the Greatest Worship! Taking 'The Lord's Name' is all about remembering God! The first Astpadi of the Sukhmani Sahib sums up the necessity and benefits of remembering God! The entire Gurbani is about remembering God! But how do we remember 'The One' Who is not visible, Who is beyond our senses? How do we keep God in our consciousness? We generally do it in three ways - by Talking about Him, by Listening about Him, and by reading about Him. This book has been made possible only by the Grace of God. It is a compilation of 101 Divine Verses, or Hymns which are known as 'Hukamnama', that have been randomly selected from the Sikh Holy Book, the revered 'Siri Guru Granth Sahib'. Every verse indicates which Guru Ji imparted it, along with the Ang, which is the page number on which it appears in the Holy Siri Guru Granth Sahib'. Hukamnama, is a compound of two words, 'Hukam', meaning command or order, and 'namah', meaning statement. A Hukamnama refers to a hymn from the Guru Granth Sahib which is given as an order to Sikhs, or a historical order given by one of the Guru's of Sikhism. The Hukamnama also refers to a hymn randomly selected from the Guru Granth Sahib on a daily basis. This is seen as the order of God for that particular day, for devotees to contemplate and reflect on. The Hukamnama is distributed and then read aloud in Gurdwaras throughout the world. The purpose of this book is to help readers and seekers who are not well versed or have no knowledge of Gurmukhi, to get a 'Daily Dose of Divine Wisdom' in English. Reading and contemplating only on one Hukamnama a day, in any order, be it in sequence or randomly on a daily basis will bring about a major transformation in your life - to your Body, Mind and Soul! Such is the Divine Grace of The Lord!! To make a start, read a verse at least once a day, for a period of 101 days, and see for yourself the wonders that result from the remembrance of God and keeping Him on your mind. Not only will your yearning and Love for God, and divine wisdom increase, the people around you will also be positively affected by your aura and the positive vibrations that you send out! Just like a piece of iron(you) that comes within the magnetic field of a Super-Magnet(God), on a daily basis, one day you too will be magnetized and finally merge with the Super-Magnet(God)!! We always give time to whatever is our priority, and I can conclude with conviction that God is our 'Greatest Priority'! Can't we offer at least a few minutes daily to 'The One' Who has provided us with Twenty-Four Hours a Day? Why forget 'Him', who has given us everything? God Bless All!

Download or read book Anand Sahib - English Translation & Transliteration written by Manmohan Singh Sethi and published by Sukan Publishing Universe. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pinnacle of Happiness is BLISS! There are three primary purposes of a religious prayer. 1. To refresh your remembrance and awareness of God. 2. To bring your wandering mind into the present moment. 3. To understand the meaning of the prayer and imbibe its teachings into your life in order to further your spiritual progress. The Anand Sahib is a collection of hymns in Sikhism, written in the Ramkali Raag by Guru Amar Das, the third Guru of the Sikhs. It appears on the pages 917 to 922 in Guru Granth Sahib. It is said that the person who recites this Holy Bani daily with dedication, attention and comprehension, will achieve Anand (Bliss) in life. In the beautiful composition is stated that, the mind and soul of a true Sikh remains steadfast and God oriented in all circumstances of life. In an awakened mind with Guru Consciousness and intoxicated with the Nectar of Naam, one is always tuned with the Sweet Will of the Lord in all ups and downs of life, in pain and pleasure alike. Such a mind is ever luminous with Guru Consciousness and is in perpetual intoxication of Naam and Amrit Bani, accepting without question the Hukam (Will) of the Almighty. All Dukh (Pain) and Sukh, (Pleasure) appear as the same to the devoted Sikh of the Guru. By God's grace, presented to you here is the translation of the ANAND SAHIB into English. ANAND means Bliss, and Bliss is the pinnacle of Happiness. Following the Translation, offered to you is the Transliteration of ANAND SAHIB, for those who may wish to recite as a prayer in the original Gurumukhi language. While the best experience would be derived from reading the prayers in Gurumukhi, there should be no hindrance for anyone who does not know the Gurumukhi script, to do Anand Sahib. While every effort has been made to simplify the transliteration, I encourage the reader to read the prayers while listening to themi n audio format a couple of times. This will help them grasp the correct pronunciation. Provided also, at the end of the book, is a link on YouTube to ANAND SAHIB so the reader can hear the prayer in Gurmukhi. This way, one can learn the correct pronunciation, or just listen to the prayer whenever needed. This prayer book is perfect to carry around in one’s device, so the prayers can be performed from anywhere. May You be Happy, May Everybody be Happy. God Bless All.
