Book Description
A study of the way of writing of the Vedic mystics, their philosophic system, their system of symbols and the truths they figure, and translations of selected hymns of the Rig-Veda. Is there at all or is there still a secret of the Veda? Sri Aurobindo asks in the opening sentence of this book. He examines the ritualistic and naturalistic theory of nineteenth-century European scholars and then sets forth his own view: The hypothesis I propose is that the Rig-veda is itself the one considerable document that remains to us from the early period of human thought of which the historic Eleusinian and Orphic mysteries were the failing remnants, when the spiritual and psychological knowledge of the race was concealed, for reasons now difficult to determine, in a veil of concrete and material figures and symbols which protected the sense from the profane and revealed it to the initiated... To disengage this less obvious but more important sense [of the Vedic ritual system] by fixing the import of Vedic terms, the sense of Vedic symbols and the psychological functions of the Gods is thus a difficult but necessary task, for which these chapters and the translations that accompany them are only a preparation. Contents: The Problem and its Solution: A Retrospect of Vedic Theory; Modern Theories; The Philological Method of the Veda; Agni and the Truth; The Victory of the Fathers; The Conquest over the Dasyus; Selected Hymns; Hymns of the Atris; The Origins of Aryan Speech . Subjects: Indology, Philosophy

Book Description
This Monograph of Invocations presents hymns addressed to Agni, the divine Flame, and is entirely based on Rishi Vamadeva's opening piece in Rig Veda, Mandala IV Sūkta 1, with 20 Richās or Verses in it. The English rendering freely adopted by us is from Sri Aurobindo's Hymns to the Mystic Fire published first more than a hundred years ago in a monthly, Ārya.These Invocations or Prayers or Litanies form a single triumphantly speeding chant, a magnificent laud reverberating and resounding in the depths of stillness, yet reverberating and resounding in the depths of stillness, a vast expansive mantra also in its tremendous power of spiritual and godly realisation. Their recitation neither in too low nor too loud a voice builds in a mysterious way an absorbing ambiance of silence, absorbing ambiance of silence around the reciter, around and within him. It is an ingathering quiet that plunges yet into a deeper quiet, an expressive quiet. The repetitive phrases crowd in a massiveness of sound; they throng even as in their booming urgency the pleas would reach the topmost heaven. They would press themselves against each other and insist the materialisation of the boon they are seeking, the boon they are seeking, the boon they are seeking. The utterances speed up more and more in a tranquil surge, the surge in its assuring confidence. The divine Fire shall enter into the soul of the mortal and work in it.In the process, in that assuring confidence, the entreaties intensify in a measure of interiorisation, interiorisation that becomes dense and perfect and fire-glowing. The exclamation turns into an insistent cry. It becomes an absorbing praise, a compelling supplication, a joyful clamour that sinks into the intensities of consciousness, into its interiors. It indeed is a kind of incessant inward Yajna, a Yajna that goes on steadily and continuously as an offering to the God, an Ardour ablaze in a serene and unsorrowing world. The spirit's flame burns in a deep room in meditation's house.The solicitation to him is, to Agni is, the entreaty to Agni is: Let Agni be blissful to us, let Agni be blissful to us, let Agni be blissful to us, Agni who is the knower of all things born, he the knower of the birth, let that Agni be blissful to us, let him be pleasing to us, let him be ecstatic to us, joyful in the joy of the Gods, he be full of delight to us, he be full of delight in the blaze of delight, let him be blissful to us, let him be blissful to us. Agni should become high-uplifted. Agni should break through all veils, the physical, the vital, the mental, the occult, the spiritual. Agni should purify us from the thousand blemishes that reside in us, they born of our birth in Inconscience. Agni should lead us on the upclimbing path of Truth-Light and Truth-Joy and Truth-Beauty. Agni should manifest in us the things of the Spirit, the things of the Godhead, manifest in us the things of the Spirit, the things of the Godhead

Book Description
Sri Aurobindo dedicated his life to the transformation of humanity. His journey saw him traverse many paths, including that of poet, journalist, jailed revolutionary, philosopher, and radical mystic. Essays, translations, literary criticism, political articles, philosophical treatises, poetry, epics, plays and short stories-his writings encompass the depth and range of his extraordinary life. The modern sage commented on spiritual texts such as the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagwad Gita, authored an epic poem, Savitri, presented his integral vision in The Life Divine, wrote on contemporary issues, all the while writing thousands of letters to guide his disciples, and even documenting his inner life in meticulous detail. The relevance of Sri Aurobindo's message has never been more urgent and compelling, yet, his Complete Works, thirty-six volumes in all, can be a daunting prospect even for those acquainted with his philosophy and practice. Reading Sri Aurobindo introduces each of these volumes through the perspectives of twenty-one contributors. The result is a book packed with insights inviting us to explore Sri Aurobindo's deep wisdom and vision for resolving the fundamental issues facing individuals, societies, and nations today.

Book Description
About Book: The book explores the relation between the Divine Reality and the ritualistic worship practised by Hindus. The first chapter describes interpretations of the symbols used by Rishis in Rig Vedic hymns and of important slokas of Isha Upanishad and also describes the Vedic and Sankhyaic Paradigms, which are frameworks for the knowledge embodying Creation. In the following three chapters, discussions of the origins of the Vedas and the evolution of Vedic auxiliary texts are provided. In most Hindu households, worshippers seldom discuss the spiritual significance of mantras and sthothrams making it appear that the Gods they worship are different from reality. The fifth and following chapters are interpretations of the Lalitha and Vishnu sahasranaamas, Ganapathi Vaibhavam, Sri Rudra and Gajendra Moksham including their spiritual context. About the Author: Sridhar Chitta is a retired Professor of Electronics and Communication Engineering after several years of service in industries in India, the Middle East and Canada. When discussing spiritual matters with friends and colleagues, he noted their lack of awareness of the spiritual context of daily worship and felt a strong desire to write a book that discusses the connection. Sri Aurobindo's scholarly interpretation of the Vedas and Upanishads made a deep impression on him and led him to explore the spiritual significance of the sahasranaamas and sthothrams of Hindu Devathas. After spending more than 5 years researching and listening to a few hundred discourses, he began writing The Knowledge in the Vedas in 2018. He presently resides in Hyderabad, India and continues to explore spirituality. He has also authored Fundamentals of Electric Theory and Circuits, marketed by Wiley, India.

Book Description
"... some of the best devotional verse the English language affords..." While the term "mystic" may have connotations that reach beyond traditional Christian thinking, it actually refers to a common spiritual experience that unites anyone who has fellowship with God. The poems in this book were hand-picked by Tozer and follow a logical pattern, going in line with the very nature of salvation itself and the death of Jesus on the cross, man's contemplation of his own sin, redemption, communion with God, awaiting the return of Christ, and celebrations of eternal fellowship with God in Heaven. Both intimate and exhilarating, The Christian Book of Mystical Verse is a book for anyone who seeks to worship God the Father, and who finds the rich language of Christians of old a great help in that endeavor.
