Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Namaste. May I draw your attention to this brand new book which I just browsed through on the shelves of Borders Bookshop? It has been published just two months ago. I have not yet read it. But in 15 minutes of browsing I could notice that it resonates with many ideas in my book on 'Science and Sprituality'. I would recommend this book for a full enjoyable reading by members on this list. PraNAms to all Book-lovers. profvk Latest on my website is an article on Krishnavatara, the Miraculous.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Pranams Prof-ji Thank you for that link. May i also recommend The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions (Hardcover) by Karen Armstrong I was browsing it (without buying it!!) at the airport bookstore and almost missed my flight. It traces the evolution of spiritual thought. The Upanishads and advaita are covered extensively and are well-researched. For a westerner(I think she is a British nun) the author displays a remarkable understanding of (and hence appreciation of) vedantic thoughts and ideas. [some typically biased interpretations may be occasionally seen but these are remarkably far and few]. On a different note, I did want to thank you for taking the time to give us the link to your earlier post detailing a portion of your pujya father's wonderful work - my salutations to both of you. I found the writings to be of immense value for introspection and meditation. Humble pranams Hari Om Shyam --- "V.
