Destiny-Changing Power of the Gemstones


Book Description

One Gemstone, in reality, is a piece of a mineral. It is either a piece of a mineral, non-organic, or inorganic substance. After cutting and polishing, the Gemstone is used for making precious stones and other adornments. However certain Gems like lapis lazuli, amber, pearls, etc. are not minerals but they are used for the manufacturing of jewelry, these are called organic or carbonic Gemstones. Gemstones are both hard and soft. The luster, rarity, and other physical properties, accordingly create the value of the Gemstones. In general, people know only nine Gemstones, but in reality, in this world, there are more than 2000 varieties of Gemstones.




Words of Destiny


Book Description

Astrologers play an important role in Indian society, but there are very few studies on their social identity and professional practices. Based on extensive fieldwork carried out in the city of Banaras, Words of Destiny shows how the Brahmanical scholarly tradition of astral sciences (jyotiḥśāstra) described in Sanskrit literature and taught at universities has been adapted and reformulated to meet the needs and questions of educated middle and upper classes in urban India: How to get a career promotion? How to choose the most suitable field of study for children? When is the best moment to move into a new house? The study of astrology challenges ready-made assumptions about the boundaries between "science" and "superstition," "rationality" and "magic." Rather than judging the validity of astrology as a knowledge system, Caterina Guenzi explores astrological counseling as a social practice and how it "works from within" for both astrologers and their clients. She examines the points of view of those who use astrology either as a way of earning their living or as a means through which to solve problems and make decisions, concluding that, because astrology combines mathematical calculations and astronomical observations with ritual practices, it provides educated urban families with an idiom through which modern science and devotional Hinduism can be subsumed.




Emergent Gems


Book Description

The concept of this book came about several years ago when I observed insights emerging spontaneously during periods of silent meditation. Introspective contemplation producing wisdom wasn’t a surprise, yet the unexpected and effortless nature of certain deeper mysteries of life revealing themselves was startling and have left a lasting imprint on my mind. The purpose of sharing these insights is two-fold: to pass on beneficial ideas and life-lessons that have arisen in moments of meditation, and importantly, to encourage the reader to introduce (or enhance, as the case might be) a practice of contemplation in their lives, which would bestow similar bounties upon them directly. This book is written in the form of short distinct vignettes that each present an insightful gem. I have organized them into loosely defined sections, but you may choose to explore them in any order and in a piecemeal manner. I am grateful that these insights have emerged in my mind and provided me much needed guidance and self-direction at critical life junctures and on a day-to-day basis. I hope others might draw benefit from the ideas expressed in this book and be inspired to pursue their own paths to enrich their lives with self-discovery and emergent gems. —Manish Chopra, PhD _________________________ “A thoughtful series of vignettes revealing the ruminations of a dedicated meditation practitioner and business leader. Manish Chopra's openness and commitment to seeking the truth makes his writing relatable and pleasurable. Each insight and story presented can be a powerful daily contemplation. Filled with timeless wisdom, Emergent Gems will inspire its readers to walk mindfully along the spiritual path in a pragmatic and memorable manner.” —Deepak Chopra, MD, Author of Quantum Body and numerous other NY Times bestsellers on spirituality “Emergent Gems is a wonderful therapy for those seeking wisdom and inspiration on the road to a life of meaning. As a prominent business executive, devoted father and dedicated meditator, Manish’s reflections and gems are a gift for introspection that are accessible to anyone who is willing to look honestly inside.” —Dominic Barton, Chairman of Rio Tinto and former global managing partner of McKinsey & Co. “Manish Chopra's Emergent Gems is like a great box of chocolates for the reflective mind! Meditators and non-meditators alike will benefit from savoring each of these short pieces. Don't eat them all at once!” —Robert Kegan, Meehan Professor Emeritus, Harvard University; co-author, Immunity to Change

Mythology of the People of Sikkim


Book Description

Mythology is a miscellaneous collection of old tales and legends which embraces all of what we now call religion, science and philosophy (natural moral and metaphysical). The Myths are the spiritual instructions of our forefathers. The mythical stories are not entertainment stories or folk-tales; because they can be told only at certain times of the year and under certain conditions. The belief systems of all the 14 (fourteen) mountain tribes and races of Sikkim were sandwiched between the faith of Buddhism from the north and Hinduism from the west in the beginning; and then Christianity from the south mainly during the chiefdom periods of Sikkim (1642-1975 A.D.) and Nepal (1769-2008 A.D.); affecting their indigenous belief systems tremendously. Today, the different tribes and races of Sikkim have awakened not against anybody else but themselves from within and have started rediscovering their own belief systems and traditions. Many of these hill tribes or races have adopted many well developed religions of the world with insignificant traces of their own within it. This book is an attempt to collect the valuable information of these lesser known oriental Belief System or Religion and Mythologies of the different ethnic mountain people of Sikkim for the first time for further research and development.
