    Hindu System of Moral Science (1912)(KL Sarkar)
    http://www.archive.org/details/hindu...ofmor014854mbp (12.7 MB)

    IT has become the custom with the scholars of the West now-a-clays, to extol highly the metaphysics of India, But at the same time they never forget to proclaim that her philosophy had never had the idea of considering ethics as a science independently nay, that it had taught, at times, the idea that the state of super-consciousness could be realised without even the attainment in life of a high ethical standard, An unbiased examination of the scriptures however, makes the matter appear in a totally different light. -- author

    Tamil Wisdom: Traditions Concerning Hindu Sages, and Selections from Their Writings (EJ Robinson)
    http://www.archive.org/details/tamil...radi00robiuoft (9.0 MB)

    A typical colonnial view of native wisdom that ignorantly believes that "the traditions of the people, prevented society from falling into entire barbarism, and in principle, at the least, anticipated the Christian rule which now prevails to the great advantage of all classes of the natives of India."

    Women in Hindu Dharma--A Tribute
    http://www.hinduwisdom.info/nari.pdf (1.6 MB)

    The close connection of women with divine revelation in Hinduism may be judged from the fact that of the 407 Sages associated with the revelation of Rigveda, twenty-one5 are women. Many of these mantras are quite significant for instance the hymn on the glorification of the Divine Speech. The very invocatory mantra of the Atharvaveda addresses divinity as a ‘Devi’ – the Goddess, who while present in waters, fulfills all our desires and hopes. In the Atharvaveda, the entire 14th book dealing with marriage, domestic issues etc., is attributed to a woman. Portions of other 19 books are also attributed to women sages. -- author of the Website http://www.hinduwisdom.info/index.html

    Karma and Diseases (Sivananda)
    http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/karmadisease.pdf (53 KB)

    The diseases we suffer from the births we get here on earth are all products of actions done by us in previous times. Every action has its reaction and no action goes unrewarded in a suitable manner. Evil actions do not go without their bitter effects upon the doer. Here are given some of the many pitiable conditions of life which man has to live in due to his careless sinful deeds. -- author

    Karma and Reincarnation (Joseph Morales)
    http://baharna.com/karma/Karma_and_Reincarnation.rtf (467 KB)

    Being philosophically-minded, I have always found the descriptions of the doctrine of karma by Eastern teachers to be frustratingly vague. So I set out to find out what, exactly, the doctrine of karma is, and why we should believe it. The resulting study is somewhat lengthy, so I have now broken it into small topics that you can read individually. -- author

    The Life Beyond Physical Death (awgp)

    For readers, who consider the physical bodily senses as the exclusive means for finding the ultimate truth, the matter dealt with in this book may appear to be an utopean conceptual exercise. Others, who believe in the words of achieved saints and having para-normal vision, would find in it authentic material, which the writer has aquired and summarised after close interaction with many great souls. -- author

    What Becomes of the Soul After Death (Sivananda)
    http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/afterdeath.pdf (435 KB)

    This present book by Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj is a departure from the usual line in that it is based, to a great extent, upon authoritative scriptural texts and upon knowledge derived through reasoning, deep reflection and personal meditation. It throws a flood of light upon all aspects of post-mortem existence not adequately dealt with in other works. The book also gives valuable information about the different beliefs on this subject, of the various races and religions. -- publisher

    Lord Krishna was the Purna Avatara with 16 Kalas. Every word of His teachings and every act of His was full of sublime object lessons of momentous import to humanity.

    Study His teachings to Uddhava. Drink the nectar of Srimad Bhagavata. Sing His glories. Repeat His grand mantraOMNamo Bhagavate Vasudevaya. Do total self-surrender unto Him. You will soon attain union with Him. -- author

    Lord Shanmukha and His Worship (Sivananda)
    http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/shanmukha.pdf (333 KB)

    The Advent of Lord Skanda or Karttikeya, the purpose of His incarnation as an Avatara and its significance should be of great importance and of immense value to seekers after Truth. Lord Skanda, also known as Shanmukha, is adored and worshipped with intense faith and devotion throughout South India and Sri Lanka. And naturally it will be of great interest to all His devotees, in particular, to know more about Him, the significance of His birth and His life and career as a victorious General. -- publishers

    Lord Siva and His Worship (Sivananda)
    http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/lordsiva.pdf (483 KB)

    This is a most valuable and instructive book for the aspirants, particularly for the devotees of Lord Siva. It contains fifteen chapters. It is full of instructions on practical Sadhana for attaining Siva-Tattva or God-realisation. The chapters will speak for themselves. The secrets of Siva-Tandava, Sakti-Yoga, Siva-Tattva, etc., are very nicely presented. The translation of the Saiva Upanishads is a beautiful addition. The lives of Siva Acharyas, the Bhaktas and the Nayanars are inspiring and soul-stirring. A study of their lives will make one’s life sublime and holy. -- publishers

    The Village Gods of South India (H.Whitehead)
    http://www.archive.org/download/thev...00whituoft.pdf (10.2 MB)

    THE material for this account of the village gods of South India has been gathered almost entirely from my own observation and inquiry. I have been able to get little help from books, as this is, I think, the first attempt at dealing systematically with this aspect of Indian religion. It does not pretend to be anything like an exhaustive account of all the various rites and ceremonies observed in the worship of the village deities. -- author

And naturally it will be of great interest to all His devotees, in particular, to know more about Him, the significance of His birth and His life and career as a victorious General. -- publishers

    <a class="online" href="http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/lordsiva.pdf" target="_BLANK">download</a> (483 KB)<br />

    This is a most valuable and instructive book for the aspirants, particularly for the devotees of Lord Siva. It contains fifteen chapters. It is full of instructions on practical Sadhana for attaining Siva-Tattva or God-realisation. The chapters will speak for themselves. The secrets of Siva-Tandava, Sakti-Yoga, Siva-Tattva, etc., are very nicely presented. The translation of the Saiva Upanishads is a beautiful addition. The lives of Siva Acharyas, the Bhaktas and the Nayanars are inspiring and soul-stirring. A study of their lives will make one’s life sublime and holy. -- publishers

    THE material for this account of the village gods of South India has been gathered almost entirely from my own observation and inquiry. I have been able to get little help from books, as this is, I think, the first attempt at dealing systematically with this aspect of Indian religion. It does not pretend to be anything like an exhaustive account of all the various rites and ceremonies observed in the worship of the village deities. -- author

    Guru Tattva (Sivaananda)
    http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/gurutattva.pdf (200 KB)

    In spite of much that has been written on the concept of a spiritual Guru, there is still a good deal of confusion, misunderstanding, and skepticism in the public mind on this vital matter.

    Is a Guru absolutely necessary? Who is a Satguru? How far can he help his Chela (disciple)? What are the duties of a disciple? What is the meaning of Initiation? Want of clear-cut and definite answers to these and related questions often impedes the spiritual progress of earnest aspirants.

    Under the circumstances, the present book by Satguru Sivanandaji Maharaj should come as a boon to many. Within its pages, the reader will find an authoritative, succinct and bold elucidation of the entire subject of Guru-disciple relationship. -- publishers

    Sure Ways to Guru Kripa (Chidananda)
    http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/gurukripa.pdf (72 KB)

    We have been told by our scriptures that guru kripa is a wonderful, mysterious factor that will enable the aspirants to seek and to attain the summum bonum of life, Self-realisation, darshan of God, or moksha. Whether the disciple does sadhana or not, whether one is deserving or undeserving, guru kripa sets aside all normal laws that operate in the spiritual plane and takes one to transcendental bliss. If we are to believe the scriptures, we should say that there is nothing except guru kripa needed for us to attain perfection in life. -- author

    Shankara: A Hindu Revivalist or a Crypto Buddhist? (Kencho Tenzin)
    http://etd.gsu.edu/theses/available/..._200612_ma.pdf (462 KB)

    Shankara, the great Indian thinker, was known as the accurate expounder of the Upanishads. He is seen as a towering figure in the history of Indian philosophy and is credited with restoring the teachings of the Vedas to their pristine form. However, there are others who do not see such contributions from Shankara. They criticize his philosophy by calling it "crypto-Buddhism." It is his unique philosophy of Advaita Vedanta that puts him at odds with other Hindu orthodox schools. Ironically, he is also criticized by Buddhists as a "born enemy of Buddhism" due to his relentless attacks on their tradition. This thesis, therefore, probes the question of how Shankara should best be regarded, "a Hindu Revivalist or a Crypto-Buddhist?" -- author

    In spite of much that has been written on the concept of a spiritual Guru, there is still a good deal of confusion, misunderstanding, and skepticism in the public mind on this vital matter.
    <br /><br />
    Is a Guru absolutely necessary? Who is a Satguru? How far can he help his Chela (disciple)? What are the duties of a disciple? What is the meaning of Initiation? Want of clear-cut and definite answers to these and related questions often impedes the spiritual progress of earnest aspirants.
    <br /><br />
    Under the circumstances, the present book by Satguru Sivanandaji Maharaj should come as a boon to many. Within its pages, the reader will find an authoritative, succinct and bold elucidation of the entire subject of Guru-disciple relationship. -- publishers

    We have been told by our scriptures that guru kripa is a wonderful, mysterious factor that will enable the aspirants to seek and to attain the summum bonum of life, Self-realisation, darshan of God, or moksha. Whether the disciple does sadhana or not, whether one is deserving or undeserving, guru kripa sets aside all normal laws that operate in the spiritual plane and takes one to transcendental bliss. If we are to believe the scriptures, we should say that there is nothing except guru kripa needed for us to attain perfection in life. -- author

    The Age of Sankara, by T. S. Narayana Sastry, 1971 (reprint of 1916 original, where the name was spelled: Narayana Sastri). The author establishes that the Adi Sankara was born on 509 BCE and that the date 788 CE commonly attributed to him is actually the date of birth of Abhinava Sankara who adorned Kamakoti Peetam at Kanchi as the 38th successor of Adi Sankara.

    Shankara, the great Indian thinker, was known as the accurate expounder of the Upanishads. He is seen as a towering figure in the history of Indian philosophy and is credited with restoring the teachings of the Vedas to their pristine form. However, there are others who do not see such contributions from Shankara. They criticize his philosophy by calling it "crypto-Buddhism." It is his unique philosophy of Advaita Vedanta that puts him at odds with other Hindu orthodox schools. Ironically, he is also criticized by Buddhists as a "born enemy of Buddhism" due to his relentless attacks on their tradition. This thesis, therefore, probes the question of how Shankara should best be regarded, "a Hindu Revivalist or a Crypto-Buddhist?" -- author

    In the presence of this Sage one felt security and inward peace. The spiritual radiations which emanated from him were allpenetrating. I learnt to recognise in his person the sublime truths which he taught, while I was no less hushed into reverence by his incredibly sainted atmosphere. He possessed a deific personality which defies description. -- author

    Sadhu Arunachala of Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai, is a good example of perfect devotion to our Guru, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. Some twentyfive years ago the name and fame of Bhagavan Sri Ramana dragged him from England to India, and having come to Bhagavan’s Supreme Abode he never returned. -- T.K.Sundaresa Iyer, Introduction

    To write a commentary on Sri Ramana Bhagavan’s words, which are deemed to be lucidity itself, may seem to be a superfluous labour; yet there are thousands of studious seekers who have not had the privilege of hearing the teaching direct from the Master’s lips, who would feel benefited and, indeed, happy to receive an exposition of it from those who have. For the sake of these I have culled from the compendious work, now the well-reputed Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi, such gems and in such numbers as in my humble opinion can fairly and comprehensively represent the teaching... -- author

    Perhaps something should be said about the Maharshi’s way of answering questions. There was nothing heavy or pontifical about it.
