The Forbidden Prophecy
The Forbidden Prophecy THE YOGI. if there is neither life nor the absence of life, if there is neither death nor the absence of death, if there is neither immortality nor mortality, if there is neither time nor eternity, what is there? SHIVA. Hear you, My Yogi; hear you, living beings: There is the river of eternity, this river flows from the Sphotam source (the dense state). This river, forever nameless, is life and death as one; for life and death are words alone, void of reality. THE YOGI, Tell me, O Lord, of the source of the river of eternity. Where does this river come from? Where does this river go to?
Yogi, Thithi, Karana and Indu Lagna
The intellectual history of mankind admits that man is the principal figure and that the earth on which he lives is the centre of the universe is wholly in tune with the crystallized concept of microcosm and macrocosm. Such a human is inclined to accept that his life is influenced by the components of the Universe, of stars and planets termed Astrology. The famous Astronomer-cum-Astrologer Varahamihira pays extraordinary compliments to a worthy Astrologer who, in his view, should know practically all branches of knowledge under the Sun, and be a guide, philosopher, and teacher of society. Every individual is psychologically interested and inclined to know his destiny of fortune and seeks the...

Sinister Yogis
Since the 1960s, yoga has become a billion-dollar industry in the West, attracting housewives and hipsters, New Agers and the old-aged. But our modern conception of yoga derives much from nineteenth-century European spirituality, and the true story of yoga’s origins in South Asia is far richer, stranger, and more entertaining than most of us realize. To uncover this history, David Gordon White focuses on yoga’s practitioners. Combing through millennia of South Asia’s vast and diverse literature, he discovers that yogis are usually portrayed as wonder-workers or sorcerers who use their dangerous supernatural abilities—which can include raising the dead, possession, and levitation—to acquire power, wealth, and sexual gratification. As White shows, even those yogis who aren’t downright villainous bear little resemblance to Western assumptions about them. At turns rollicking and sophisticated, Sinister Yogis tears down the image of yogis as detached, contemplative teachers, finally placing them in their proper context.

People think that they are very intelligent, but if they try to understand very seriously, they realize perfectly that nothing is happening according to their intellect.

Normally durin...
Encyclopedia of Hinduism
The Encyclopedia of Hinduism contains over 900 entries reflecting recent advances in scholarship which have raised new theoretical and methodological issues as well as identifying new areas of study which have not been addressed previously. The debate over the term 'Hinduism' in the light of post-Orientalist critiques is just one example of how once standard academic frameworks have been called into question. Entries range from 150-word definitions of terms and concepts to 5,000-word in-depth investigations of major topics. The Encyclopedia covers all aspects of Hinduism but departs from other works in including more ethnographic and contemporary material in contrast to an exclusively textua...
