Book excerpt: Dr. Svoboda's original work on the constitutional types in Ayurveda has been considered a classic for many years. His new revision and expansion of the subject comes after much further research and practical experience. Dr. Vasant Lad points out: "The healing science of Ayurveda is based totally upon the knowledge of "prakriti," the individual constitution. If every individual knows his own constitution, then one can understand, for instance, what is a good diet and style of life for oneself. One man's food is another man's poison. Therefore, to make one's life healthy, happy and balanced, the knowledge of constitution is absolutely necessary."

Download or read book Tritiya-Prakriti: People of the Third Sex written by Amara Das Wilhelm and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05-18 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tritiya-Prakriti: People of the Third Sex is a collection of years of research into a topic seldom discussed or easily found within the Hindu/Vedic scriptural canon. Based entirely upon authentic Sanskrit references and modern concurring facts, the book guides us through the original Hindu concept of a "third sex" (defined as homosexuals, transgenders and the intersexed), how such people were constructively incorporated into ancient Indian society, and how foreign influences eventually eroded away that noble system. It discusses how this concept can be practically applied in today’s modern world, the importance of all-inclusiveness in human society, and the spiritual principle of learning to transcend material designations altogether. Tritiya-Prakriti: People of the Third Sex will be a valuable source of reference for anyone interested in Hindu/LGBTI studies whether they are newcomers to the field or seasoned veterans of Vedic knowledge. It offers a veritable treasure trove of fresh information and ideas that will likely challenge the reader to rediscover and rethink Hinduism’s traditional understanding and treatment of gay, lesbian, and other gender-variant people within its culture. "The recognition of a third sex in ancient India and Hinduism is highly relevant in many ways. Our own modern-day society has only recently begun to understand sexual orientation, transgender identity, and intersex conditions, and our legal and social systems are just beginning to catch up with and accommodate such people in a fair and realistic way . . . yet ancient India had already addressed and previously resolved this issue many thousands of years ago in the course of its own civilization ́s development. Indeed, there is much we can learn from ancient India ́s knowledge regarding the recognition and accommodation of a 'third sex' within society." -Amara Das Wilhelm "In India there is a system where such people (the third sex) have their own society, and whenever there is some good occasion like marriage or childbirth, they go there and pray to God that this child may be very long living." -A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada "Gay and lesbian people have always been a part of society from Vedic times to our postmodern times. They should be accepted for what they are in terms of their sexual orientation and encouraged like everyone else to pursue spiritual life." -B.V. Tripurari Swami "Initially, I did not really allow myself to go deep in trying to understand the third sex. I figured that this was necessary only for those who are insensitive, arrogant and fundamentalist . . . who think that they are compassionate and tolerant while basically being superficial and even condescending. It is quite amazing how most of us can be so prejudiced about so many things and not even know it . . . .I thank you and several others for your compassion and for your tolerance in making efforts to educate your Godfamily, so that we can be more authentic servants of the servant." -H.H. Bhakti Tirtha Swami

Download or read book Puja Prakriti written by Saumyendra Nath Brahmachary and published by Indic Publication. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acharya Saumyendra Nath Brahmachary would engage in detailed discussions during the entire 'Puja Parva' sequentially from 'Pitri-paksha' to 'Devi-paksha' and then also covering Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, Kali Puja, 'Bhratri-Dwitiya' and finally Jagaddhatri Puja in the CTVN AKD PLUS satellite cable channel. This book 'Puja Prakriti' is a humble attempt to collate and present his precious renderings on this subject. During his lifetime Acharyadev had written the explanation of the theory behind Durga Puja in his book 'Arsha Bani'. But later, he had explained the entire Puja process especially the detailed rites and rituals of Duga Puja in his own words in a lucid language that is understood by all. In this book we have tried to present his words while retaining his characteristic communication style in conversation mode as far as possible. This is part of a spiritual tradition following the lineage of the Masters ('Guru parampara'). In the first book 'Puja Tattva', the Great Master 'Paramguru' Brahmarshi Satyadev explained the theory behind the Pujas from his realized wisdom. His principal disciple Shrimat Narendranath Brahmachary came up with 'Mantra O Puja Rahasya' which became very popular and handy for worshippers. His worthy successor Shrimat Saumyendra Nath Brahmachary offered a simpler yet scientific and spiritual explanation of the procedural aspects of the Puja. Hence this book has been named as 'Puja Prakriti'. It is a collection of his lectures and discourses originally complied in Bengali by his disciple Kaberi Mukherjee along with a complete English trans-creation by Shri Sanjoy Mukherjee, also a disciple of Acharyadev, so that the words of the Acharya on Puja may reach people from other linguistic backgrounds for their understanding. We feel that this initiative will help spread his well thought out ideas and messages to a much wider section of the readership. We hope that once this book reaches your hands you will be able to prepare yourselves mentally and spiritually and feel doubly exalted and inspired in the invocation of the Mother. May the blessings of the Divine Mother be the portals in our pathway to the arena of worship – this is the ardent prayer of Her children.
