Product Information

The Guru Granth Sahib Ji (the holy book of Sikh) is made up of teachings and wisdom for Sikhs to follow:

As an alternative to established religions in the West, some people in Europe and the US looked to spiritual guides and gurus from India and other countries. Gurus from many denominations traveled to Western Europe and the US and established followings. Teachings of Shri Satguru Devendra Ghia (Kaka) are in his hymns and the broadness of his thoughts is in the variety. "Religion is nothing but a path towards God. Different religions have evolved over different times and in different places based on the need of that era. However, the basic concept in each religion remains the same. Each religion talks of a universal God, who is eternal and infinite." [123] U. G. Krishnamurti, [no relation to Jiddu], sometimes characterized as a " spiritual anarchist", denied both the value of gurus and the existence of any related worthwhile "teaching".

Hopkins, Jeffrey Reflections on Reality (2002) p. 72. University of California Press. ISBN 0-520-21120-0 Description: Being ambitious has always been seen as an advantage. But a century’s worth of human ambitions has resulted in uncountable tragedies and wars, and brought the environment to a point of collapse. Only when ambition is guided by a vision for wellbeing, can our activity become a powerful possibility to create our destiny and touch the lives of everyone around us. This book offers tangible first steps towards the ultimate plan of action – to understand every aspect of our creation and existence, and make ourselves the way we want. And with individual transformation comes universal transformation, opening up a whole new world once we take that step from ambition to vision. According to a professor of religious studies at Dawson College in Quebec, Susan J. Palmer, the word guru has acquired very negative connotations in France. [116] E. Marty, Martin; Appleby R.

In particular during the 1960s and 1970s many gurus acquired groups of young followers in Western Europe and the US. According to the American sociologist David G. Bromley this was partially due to the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1965 which permitted Asian gurus entrance to the US. [101] According to the Dutch Indologist Albertina Nugteren, the repeal was only one of several factors and a minor one compared with the two most important causes for the surge of all things 'Eastern': the post-war cross-cultural mobility and the general dissatisfaction with established Western values. [102]Description: In this book, Sadhguru draws upon a rich repertoire of pivotal topics, plunging into the very fundamentals of existence: What is spirituality? How can we step into a dimension that is beyond the physical? How can we transcend the dualities of creation? How to go through life untouched and know the nature of who we essentially are? What is the significance of being aware of death? Sadhguru sheds light on all of these questions and much more. That is RuPaul's secret for success, not only in show business, but in all aspects of life, especially in navigating the emotional landmines that inhibit most sweet, sensitive souls. Description: On the crossroads of a past that is rapidly slipping away and a future fraught with possibilities and challenges, India constantly seeks to establish its place in the modern world. In this ebook, Sadhguru looks at the past, present and future of this nation, and explores why Indian culture matters to every human being on the planet.
