Showing results for "Personality" in Religion & Spirituality

Since time immemorial, yogis, sages and mystics have forsaken the pleasures of the ordinary world and gone to secluded places to meditate, eager to attain even a momentary vision of Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Fifty centuries ago that same Krishna descended from the transcendental world to reveal on earth His eternal spiritual pastimes, and the great sage Vyasadeva carefully recorded them in a book called the Bhagavata Purana. Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is translated from that Purana by His Divine Grace A. C.

While the Christian tradition has subordinated John the Baptist to Jesus of Nazareth, John himself would likely have disagreed with that ranking. In this eye-opening new book John the Baptist in History and Theology, Joel Marcus makes a powerful case that John saw himself, not Jesus, as the proclaimer and initiator of the kingdom of God and his own ministry as the center of God's saving action in history.

Srila Prabhupada, born Abhay Charan De (1896–1977), was a visionary spiritual leader and the founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). He is widely recognized for introducing the ancient Vedic teachings of India to the Western world in a way that was both accessible and practical for the modern age. In the teachings of Srila Prabhupada and the Vedic tradition, Krishna is recognized as the Svayam Bhagavan—the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the source of all incarnations. The name "Krishna" itself is a Sanskrit word that means "The All-Attractive."

Through his commentary on the tiny but exquisite Song of Meditation by Hakuin, “one of the greatest of Zen masters”, Osho speaks on how contemporary man goes through life with the idea that he must be different from how he is and so trying to change. Whether the search is for self-improvement or self-realization, Osho simply states that “trying” is what is in the way.

Life Beyond Personality series overview: Life Beyond Personality is a series of two practical, accessible books on the subject of non-duality: The Story of ‘You’ and The Infinite Journey. They take the listener behind the spiritual jargon into the heart of all the difficult, confusing, and often unanswered questions about what it means to wake up from the "dream of personality".

During the course of learning mindfulness, you may be asked to try different things. For example, you may be asked to concentrate on your breathing. A lot of people don't realize the significance of this task. The fact is that most of us don't use the lung capacity that we have because we don't need to in order to stay alive. However, when you breathe correctly, as you are taught later in the audiobook, you actually improve what's going on in your body, and systems such as the sympathetic nervous system are able to do their work more efficiently.

If you’ve had a lot of questions about yourself or you feel like you don’t fit into any environment you’re in, it could be because you haven’t found your social cluster.

It will open your eyes to a whole new way of looking at the world; it is insightful and can answer many of your questions you might have in life. If that sounds like you then this book is meant for you.
