The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy

Cover Page

Description

Our mind is controlled by its own energy called the Sub-Conscious mind. Whatever we read or see or hear, that information silently sits somewhere in our minds and helps us to make decisions subconsciously. Decisions can be related to work or habits or our emotions, our subconscious mind controls them directly. 

This book, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy, guides a mind towards a positive lifestyle and allows us to decipher the depths of the subconscious. Murphy alloys spiritual sagacity with scientific reasoning to explain how the subconscious mind influences one's decisions or whatever one does. Once an individual learns to control his/her subconscious mind, he/she can overcome long-time existing fear and be a better person.

चाणक्य नीति by Acharya Chanakya

Cover Page

Description

चाणक्य नीति, चाणक्य द्वारा रचित एक नीति ग्रन्थ है। संस्कृत-साहित्य में नीतिपरक ग्रन्थों की कोटि में चाणक्य नीति का महत्त्वपूर्ण स्थान है। इसमें सूत्रात्मक शैली में जीवन को सुखमय एवं सफल बनाने के लिए उपयोगी सुझाव दिये गये हैं। इसका मुख्य विषय मानव मात्र को जीवन के प्रत्येक पहलू की व्यावहारिक शिक्षा देना है। इसमें मुख्य रूप से धर्म, संस्कृति, न्याय, शांति, सुशिक्षा एवं सर्वतोन्मुखी मानव जीवन की प्रगति की झाँकियां प्रस्तुत की गई हैं। यह पुस्तक  िहन्दी भाषा में है ।

चाणक्य का जीवन कठोर धरातल पर अनेक विसंगतियों से जूझता हुआ आगे बढ़ा। विष्णुगुप्त चाणक्य एक असाधारण बालक थे। उनके पिता चणक एक शिक्षक थे। वह भी शिक्षक बनना चाहते थे। उन्होंने तक्षशिला विश्वविद्यालय में राजनीति और अर्थशात्र की शिक्षा ग्रहण की। इसके पूर्व वेद, पुराण इत्यादि वैदिक साहित्य का उन्होंने किशोर वय में ही अध्ययन कर लिया था। उनकी कुशाग्र बुद्धि और तार्किकता से उनके साथी तथा शिक्षक भी प्रभावित थे; इसी कारण उन्हें ‘कौटिल्य’ भी कहा जाने लगा। अध्ययन पूरा करने के बाद तक्षशिला विश्वविद्यालय में ही चाणक्य अध्यापन करने लगे। इसी दौर में उत्तर भारत पर अनेक विदेशी आक्रमणकारियों की गिद्धदृष्टि पड़ी, जिनमें सेल्यूकस, सिकंदर आदि प्रमुख हैं। परंतु चाणक्य भारतवर्ष को एकीकृत देखना चाहते थे। इसलिए उन्होंने तक्षशिला में अध्यापन-कार्य छोड़ दिया और राष्ट्रसेवा का व्रत लेकर पाटलिपुत्र आ गए। कुछ लोग सोच सकते हैं कि उनका जीवन-दर्शन प्रतिशोध लेने की प्रेरणा देता है; लेकिन चाणक्य का प्रतिशोध निजी प्रतिशोध न होकर सार्वजनिक प्रतिशोध था। उन्होंने जनता के दुख-दर्द को देखा और स्वयं भोगा था। उसी की फरियाद लेकर वे राजा से मिले थे। घनानंद चूँकि प्रजा का हितैषी नहीं था, इसलिए चाणक्य ने उसे खत्म करने का प्रण किया। उन्होंने ‘चाणक्य नीति’ जैसा नीतियों का एक अनमोल खजाना दुनिया को दिया, जो जीवन के सभी क्षेत्रों में हमारा मार्गदर्शन करने की क्षमता रखता है।। इस नीतिपरक ग्रंथ में जीवन-सिद्धान्त और जीवन-व्यवहार तथा आदर्श और यथार्थ का बड़ा सुन्दर समन्वय देखने को मिलता है।

About the Author

आचार्य चाणक्य ईसापूर्व 375 - ईसापूर्व 283 चन्द्रगुप्त मौर्य के महामंत्री थे। वे 'कौटिल्य' नाम से भी विख्यात हैं। वे तक्षशिला विश्वविद्यालय के आचार्य थे। उन्होने नंदवंश का नाश करके चन्द्रगुप्त मौर्य को राजा बनाया। उनके द्वारा रचित अर्थशास्त्र राजनीति, अर्थनीति, कृषि, समाजनीति आदि का महान ग्रंन्थ है। अर्थशास्त्र मौर्यकालीन भारतीय समाज का दर्पण माना जाता है। चाणक्य की मृत्यु को लेकर दो कहानियां संदर्भ में आती है लेकिन दोनों में से कौन सी सच है इसका अभी कोई सार नहीं निकला है। विष्णुपुराण, भागवत आदि पुराणों तथा कथासरित्सागर आदि संस्कृत ग्रंथों में तो चाणक्य का नाम आया ही है, बौद्ध ग्रंथो में भी इसकी कथा बराबर मिलती है। बुद्धघोष की बनाई हुई विनयपिटक की टीका तथा महानाम स्थविर रचित महावंश की टीका में चाणक्य का वृत्तांत दिया हुआ है। चाणक्य तक्षशिला (एक नगर जो रावलपिंडी के पास था) के निवासी थे। इनके जीवन की घटनाओं का विशेष संबंध मौर्य चंद्रगुप्त की राज्यप्राप्ति से है। ये उस समय के एक प्रसिद्ध विद्वान थे, इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं। कहते हैं कि चाणक्य राजसी ठाट-बाट से दूर एक छोटी सी कुटिया में रहते थे।

Sunderkand by Goswami Tulsidas

Cover Page

Description

Sunderkand, believed to be the most beautiful (Sunder) part of the Ramayana, describes Lord Hanuman's journey to Lanka. This book elucidates Maha Kavi Tulsi Das' new lifestyle, which brings karmic and spiritual knowledge and bhakti (devotion) to one's life. It is even believed that when one reads the Sunderkand, Lord Hanuman himself graces the reader with his presence. Carrying the entire text and explanation of the Sunderkand, Shri Hanuman Chalisa, and Sankatmochan Hanumanashtak, this edition also contains the art of Lord Ganesha, Lord Ram, and Lord Hanuman.

About the Author

Maha Kavi Goswami Tulsidas was one of the greatest bhakti poets of all time. Born in the early sixteenth century, the exact place and time of his birth are unknown. A lot of conjecture has been made about his early life—he had a full set of teeth when he was born, his mother died a day after his birth so his father abandoned him and he even met the god Hanuman. Tulsidas is also believed to be the avatar of Maharishi Valmiki, the writer of the epic, Ramayana. Allegedly, after a fight with his wife, Tulsidas decided to embark on a pilgrimage and began immersing himself in his devotion to god. His epic, Ramcharitamanas, is a work that has had an immense influence on Indian culture and society.

They Called Us Enemy by George Takei

Cover Page

                            

Description

New York Times Bestseller!

A stunning graphic memoir recounting actor/author/activist George Takei's childhood imprisoned within American concentration camps during World War II. Experience the forces that shaped an American icon -- and America itself -- in this gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love.

"This evocative memoir shares stories of the nation’s past, draws heartbreaking parallels to the present, and serves as a cautionary tale for the future."— School Library Journal (starred review)

George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father's -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future.

In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers," hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard.

They Called Us Enemy is Takei's firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the joys and terrors of growing up under legalized racism, his mother's hard choices, his father's faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future.

What does it mean to be American? Who gets to decide? When the world is against you, what can one person do? To answer these questions, George Takei joins co-writers Justin Eisinger & Steven Scott and artist Harmony Becker for the journey of a lifetime.

About the Author 

George Takei is an American actor, author, and activist born as Hosato Takei to Japanese-American parents in Los Angeles, California on April 20, 1937. He lived in US-run internment camps during World War II. Takei is internationally known for his role as Hikaru Sulu, Helmsman of the Fictional starship USS Enterprise in the television series  Star Trek and Subsequent films.

After coming out as gay in 2005, he became a prominent proponent of LGBT rights. He has been a vocal advocate of the rights of immigrants and also has been active in local and state politics. Takei has won several awards and accolades for his work on human rights and the Japan-United States relations. 

Justin Eisinger is co-author of the New York Times Best Selling graphic memoir, THEY CALLED US ENEMY, George Takei's story of childhood internment, and co-creator of the forthcoming middle grade illustrated nonfiction series, WE BUILT IT!, coming in 2024 from Chronicle Books. During a career of more than a dozen years immersed in graphic storytelling, a fateful encounter with Civil Rights pioneer Congressman John Lewis inspired Eisinger to turn his experience adapting television episodes and film toward bringing engaging nonfiction stories to readers. Born in Akron, Ohio, Eisinger lives in San Diego, California, with his wife and two dogs, and in his spare time publishes North America's only inline skating magazine.

Steven Scott is co-author of the New York Times Best Selling memoir of  George Takei 'They Called Us Enemy'. He is the author of Doctor Design's 1 Meg X 1 and the recipient of American Book Award. Scott was nominated for Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Graphic Novels & Comics.

Elevation by Stephen King

Cover Page

Description

From legendary master storyteller Stephen King, a riveting story about “an ordinary man in an extraordinary condition rising above hatred” (The Washington Post) and bringing the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine together—a “joyful, uplifting” (Entertainment Weekly) tale about finding common ground despite deep-rooted differences, “the sign of a master elevating his own legendary game yet again” (USA TODAY).

Although Scott Carey doesn’t look any different, he’s been steadily losing weight. There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn’t want to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis.

In the small town of Castle Rock, the setting of many of King’s most iconic stories, Scott is engaged in a low grade—but escalating—battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott’s lawn. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice. Both are trying to launch a new restaurant, but the people of Castle Rock want no part of a gay married couple, and the place is in trouble. When Scott finally understands the prejudices they face—including his own—he tries to help. Unlikely alliances, the annual foot race, and the mystery of Scott’s affliction bring out the best in people who have indulged the worst in themselves and others.

“Written in masterly Stephen King’s signature translucent…this uncharacteristically glimmering fairy tale calls unabashedly for us to rise above our differences”- Booklist, starred review

Elevation is an antidote to our divisive culture, an “elegant whisper of a story”- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“perfect for any fan of small towns, magic, and the joys and challenges of doing the right thing” -Publishers Weekly, starred review
