The first chapter propounds an explanation of public domain, open access, evaluation of open access resources, and explanation of relevant terms. Public digital assets or public domain is a term basically used and related to copyright laws. Though in the second chapter, copyright laws under the regime of open access around the w...

This entirely new translation of Critique of Pure Reason is the most accurate and informative English translation ever produced of this epochal philosophical text. Though its simple, direct style will make it suitable for all new readers of Kant, the translation displays a philosophical and textual sophistication that will enlighten Kant scholars as well. This translation recreates as far as possible a text with the same interpretative nuances and richness as the original.

“Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.” “Man must be disciplined, for he is by nature raw and wild..”

While Mahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace; many believe that reading Sundara Kãnda or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings! Miracles apart, it's in the nature of Sundara Kãnda to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in one and all. After all, isn't it a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds! Again, won't it portray how Seetha, ...

Canto 31 - Rama’s Ballad For Seetha’s ears then Rama’s tale Sang in sonorous tone Hanuman. In lineage old of Ikshvaakus Known to all for his valour Dasarath was the reigning king. Noble as he was the king Valued was he like a saint Power he had to rival gods. Generous was he by nature Took he care of his subjects Ruled he like a god on earth. For his righteous reign Dasarath Earned he fame the world over. Esteemed he his eldest son Know...

Bhagavad-Gita is the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue’ – so opined William von Humboldt. Though it is a matter of consensus that Bhagvad-Gita in the present length of seven hundred verses has many an interpolation to it, but no meaningful attempt has ever been made to delve into the nature and extent, not to speak of the effect of these on the Hindu society at large. The moot point that has missed the attention of al...

All about Life - Chapter 2 This character defining chapter of the Gita comprising 72 slokas, known as saankhya yoga, Realization through Knowledge, is regarded by many, as the peerless part of the great epic. Arjuna’s dilemma, meanwhile, turns into grief, as the horrific prospect of slaying Bhishma, his revered granduncle, and Drona, his venerated guru, sinks into his consciousness. Bogged down by sentiment, Arjuna appeals to Lord Krishna for guidance. The Lord’s respon...

The book "The Intelligent Heart, The Pure Heart" by Dr. Gohar Mushtaq is a bold effort to render concept to the ubiquitous adage in almost all literary writings and in common verbal usage of using the heart as an organ of intellect with the capacity for rational thought, inference and discrimination. The reader will also find, given the abundance of facts and quotes, substantiated to an extent scientifically in conjunction with sufficient present understanding of literar...

A few decades ago, Rudolf Steiner, a German philosopher and education expert, noted that "the greatest discovery of 20th century science would be that the heart is not a pump but vastly more, and that the great challenge of the coming ages of humanity would be, in effect, to allow the heart to teach us to think in a new way." It seems that now the time has come to show us that the human heart is not just a pumping organ but much more than that. The days of Newtonian mec...

The book Islam – Its Beauty & Wisdom is a novel presentation of Islam, interweaving traditional Islamic material with well-documented contemporary research from the physical and behavioral sciences. This book provides an understanding of the wisdom of Islamic teachings from a religious-scientific perspective. This is a refreshingly different approach to a classic subject. It has meanings and relevance to both Muslim and non-Muslim readers.

This book first explains what the five pillars of Islam are in such a way any non-Muslim can understand and appreciate. It then heads in a direction I have never personally seen before in any religious manuscript. By this, I mean it provides us with effective scientific reasoning to explain health benefits associated with performing obligatory prayers (SALAH) and fasting (Saw’m). As someone similar to Dr. Mushtaq with an extensive background in the Life Sciences, I can c...

The religions of the world preserve the knowledge and protect the secrets of ancient powerful mantras. At the heart of world religion, and among the most powerful mantras in the history of religion, is the Navkar mantra, or Trimantra. In the book “Trimantra”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan explains the Trimantra, its mantra meaning, and the extraordinary benefits of its recitation. Whether wishing to live with no worry while facing prob...

Every human being is living a life, but how much humanity does he have? Birth, education, job, marriage, kids, family and at the end…death! Is this the standard cycle of life that has to be followed? What is the ultimate goal of such a life? Why do we take birth? What do we want? The human body that we have received... should do the duty of being humane. There should be humanity in life. But what is humanity? According to Param Pujya Dadashri, the Gnani Purush (t...

For anyone wondering what is spiritual enlightenment, it is essential to learn the 24 Tirthankaras of the past, and of the present. In previous era, it was possible to achieve instant enlightenment simply by meeting a Tirthankara. At present, such sudden enlightenment is not possible here on earth. In the current era, one seeking spiritual awakening can search for spiritual teachers to understand the meaning of spirituality and its transformation, but to attain Sel...

In the book “Death: Before, During & After”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan addresses age-old unanswered questions related to death and dying. Dadashri offers in-depth answers to questions such as: “What is death?”, “What are the stages of dying and the signs of death?”, “What happens when you die?”, “Is there life after death, and can you provide proof of life after death?”, “Please explain reincarnation and describe the journey of souls?” ...

Quem vive no Ocidente se encontra sob a influência do pensamento judaico-cristão, aquele que acolhe com ternura e caridade; afinal, “não é bom que o homem esteja só” (Gênesis 2:18). Nesta verdade fundamental reside o Nós conservador e cristão, legado dos nossos ancestrais, um sentimento de integração e pertencimento a algo bom e justo, maior do que nós mesmos, fundado no amor a Deus e ao próximo. Essa é a essência da atitude conservadora existente no Brasil, o dever de c...

Esta é uma obra político-filosófica que resgata os princípios fundadores da nação brasileira, denuncia a ação revolucionária do século 19 – fatal ao Império do Brasil – até a tragédia dos dias atuais, inova na defesa do excepcionalismo brasileiro, aborda as virtudes singulares do conservadorismo e da monarquia, dispondo sobre a urgência da restauração imperial e oferecendo soluções práticas à concretização desse projeto desafiador.

Este é um épico de fantasia e aventura que transcorre nas ruas de São Paulo, Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, Nova York e Washington, nos confins da floresta amazônica e sob o calor escaldante de Cuba. Caos, traições, preconceitos, esperanças e horrores emergem do encontro de povos fantásticos com pessoas comuns, do conflito entre o relativismo moral do nosso mundo e os valores absolutos do Bem e do Mal de uma estranha e perigosa terra encantada.

Hinduism is the oldest faith in the world. It is also the largest faith in the world with followers worldwide but as Hinduism does not believe in official conversion, there is no record to prove this. We have seen a sustained movement against Hinduism in Bharat (India) recently by Communists, Liberals, Secularists who have aligned with the Islamists and Christian-missionaries against the last bastion of truth in the world. This pamphlet aims at providing an ideological b...

I.Conversion 1. Messaging - Hinduism to the neophyte is vast and confusing. Too many branches of philosophy for the intellectual seeker. Too many gods for the literal seeker. To make it simple, the message needs to be condensed to a single sentence. “Say ‘Krishna’ 4 times with complete love today and He will forgive every sin you do today.” It’s a masterstroke. “Say ‘Krishna’ 4 times with complete love and He will forgive every sin you do today...

This book is about the Creator of the Universe, our Holy Father. It sees even the humans under the eye of holy and important beings because our lives are precious. The language of this book is Esperanto, a beautiful language, I hope I will learn better. Anyway, I tried to do my best in a language that was so precious to the Hebrew community in Eastern Europe. It was a language of culture, education. It simply meant love and family. I do apologize if my translation is not...

Taglumo venis post nokta mallumo kaj nokta mallumo venis post taglumo. Lumo donis vojon al mallumo kaj mallumo al lumo. La sama rito okazis ankaŭ en la homo. La lumo brilis sur iliaj animoj kaj kelkfoje ĝi kaŝiĝis. La ĉielo estis kovrita de nuboj kaj gutoj de pluvo falis sur la vangojn, kiam mallumo trovis rifuĝon en iliaj koroj.Lumo kaj mallumo deklaris militon unu al la alia.Multaj homoj venis por forigi la mallumon, kiu regis en la koroj de homoj. Sed la milito daŭris...

Medicine is not a perfect science, not yet. Clinicians have been making decisions on management options for ages, based on their own experience and also on the recommendation of others, which were based on their own experiences in turn. Finally the concept of evidence-based medicine came and has taken root. However, good quality evidence is hard to come by. Hence there are quite a few areas left, where the clinician is a little confused about what to do. Often the gut in...

This is a speculative theory about the origins of the world and the evolution of humans and other species as well as vegetation on earth.

Creation vs. Evolution ‘One might approach this postulation as an addendum to evolution for it comes in the wake of the great works of the past. It would seem logical that any proposition about evolution cannot bypass the idea of creation, buttressed with a religious belief by those closer to the beginnings of life. Just the same, though all religions propagate the word that God created the world, nevertheless their scriptures differ about the way he went about it. Give...

Moksha is only attained by settling with equanimity. This compilation is offered, so that in everyday life, one can settle with equanimity the ‘files’ that arise from monetary dealings such that vengeance is not bound and progress on the path of moksha is made. ? Dadashri says, “If someone is not returning the money you lent to them, then you cannot consider it as vyavasthit and do nothing. To get the money back, you should certainly make the natural efforts that vyavast...

Simplitatea aparentă a scrierii derivă din capacitatea de a transmite cât mai fidel și mai autentic ceea ce simți în relație cu experiența vieții. Cu precizia unui meșteșugar medieval, impresiile se aștern pe portativul sentimentelor ce răzbat cu fiecare notă interpretată sub bagheta timpului. Și astfel iau naștere forme pline de farmec ce răzbat din orizontul interior al sufletului ca reflectare a concretului și imaginarului realității. De aceea, actul scrierii are vale...

Nu este simplu să scrii despre tine și să întocmești o prezentare care să nu semene cu un CV bun de trimis la firme, dar impersonal în a comunica trăirile lăuntrice și motivația ascunsă a sufletului în dorința de a transmite un mesaj plin de substanță potențialilor cititori. Cu toate acestea, merită să spun câteva cuvinte despre experiența pe care am acumulat-o în ce privește scrisul, mai ales că izvorul gândurilor exprimate sub formă de articole, broșuri sau emisiuni ra...
