Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The Jedi in the Lotus is the first-ever examination of the Star Wars universe from a Hindu perspective, illuminating many hitherto undiscovered aspects of the background and meaning of the widely acclaimed film series. We are shown how its creators were influenced by the famed mythologist, Joseph Campbell, whose reading of the ancient Indian Epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata, can be seen throughout the Star Wars films. This book also demonstrates how the metaphysical understanding of the Jedi Knights and the divinity conceived of as 'the Force' have resonances with teachings passed down by Hindu gurus and mystics for centuries, and how fantastic worlds and technology similar to that of the Star Wars universe were described in myths that are millennia old - and may even have had some basis in reality. Finally, The Jedi in the Lotus shows us how the Hindu traditions at the basis of Star Wars offer an alternative vision to the purely materialistic, soulless world of modernity. Steven J. Rosen (Satyaraja Dasa) is an initiated disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He is also founding editor of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies and associate editor of Back to Godhead. He has published twenty-one books in numerous languages, including the recent Essential Hinduism (Rowman & Littlefield, 2008); The Yoga of Kirtan: Conversations on the Sacred Art of Chanting (FOLK Books, 2008); and Krishna's Other Song: A New Look at the Uddhava Gita (Praeger-Greenwood, 2010). 'In conclusion, I can only say that The Jedi in the Lotus is a breakthrough book when it comes to understanding the mythic depth of the Star Wars epics. Steven J. Rosen uses his masterful grasp of the Eastern traditions to explain the secrets of the most successful film series ever. This book also shows us why Joseph Campbell loved the wisdom tales from India, and, for those who found the Star Wars adventures memorable, this is a truly illuminating book.' - Dr. Jonathan Young, from the Foreword.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Avatar Art: Neo-Vedic Paintings Celebrating Life is a book of sacred images from the bhakti, or devotional, tradition of yoga. Sacred art is meant to open for both artist and viewer a connection between the world we perceive in three dimensions and the world of spirit. It's art as yoga and yoga as art. Yoga literally means to link or yoke one's consciousness with the Supreme consciousness, and bhakti yoga in particular links to the Supreme in a mood of love and service. Some yogis create this link throught their asana practice or by chanting mantras or by meditating; others paint. This book contains the revelations received by thirty-one bhakti artists as they illustrate the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other sacred Indian texts in a mood of meditation. Studying under masters in the sacred bhakti lineage and molding their live accordingly, these artists dedicate their live to depicting the message of transcendence. …
