Moderen Moron Triple Book Review

All facets of reality and fantasy are weaved into the core of knowledge, the quarry or our fears and the infinite realms of our imagination.


The ancient text of the Mahabharata has spurned a quest for the definitive truth and superlative justice. Swim in the oceans of your imagination and be fascinated by the mystic tales of the Hindu gods and goddesses.   


The super soul, supreme being, great spirit, all opulent one, the ultimate reality or “The One,” has countless names and has ignited a vast array of believes and intrigues. Hinduism, unlike all the other major religions does not recruit, was founded by many people, and has an enormous array of books as compared to just one manuscript. Hinduism is also the only major religion that is inclusive, the Hindu’s welcome all believes and non-believes.


Strive to be a good person and practice non-violence is a strong theme in Hinduism, while other religions preach, be a good person or else suffer the consequences of eternal torture, for offenses as minor as not bowing and praying to the quote unquote right god.


The lifetime of Brahma, Ganesha, Bumba, Muhammad, Allah, God, or any other name given the great spirit is 311.1 trillion human years Swami Achuthananda said in his easy read, “The Ascent of Vishnu and the Fall of Brahma the Galaxy of Hindu Gods Book 2” This is based on Hindu math of the gods from more than 5,000 years ago. The point I am making is that even in the days of old, the Hindu’s have admired science.


Change in the environment is nothing new. Once upon a time, the Earth was a ball of ice. The Holy Trinity of the Hindus nailed it thousands of years ago, Creation, Preservation, and Destruction. When all life is destroyed, it comes back, and the preservation begins again until another form of destruction arises, and the Holy Trinity begins again and again until end of time itself, then ultimate the judgement, look out now!    


Hindu religion and philosophy adhere to scientific fact. Once upon a time there was nothing. If you go back in time far enough, there is a beginning somewhere.


Time and the universe were here before the gods, who really knows? The gods came afterwards with the creation of the universe. Who then really knows whence it was risen? Hindu’s focus on why were here, not how. (Rig-Veda, the oldest text known to humans)  


No matter what your believes or non-believes are, Stephen King of all people has the ultimate explanation for death. When we die, there is either absolute nothingness, or there is something more, and if there is more what is it?


Indian mythology is my favorite, because the poetry from more than 5,0000 years ago is poignant and often precise.


The human mind is restless, unsteady, turbulent, wild, stubborn, and as hard to master as the wind. (Bhagavad-Gita text from 1,000s of years ago translated by Swami Prabhavananda)


I’ve read several books on Hinduism and have yet to read a single sentence or phrase that condones violence, and the books about their gods stress the importance of each god. No god is more important then the other one.


In the beginning there was one Soul, but alone it was not happy, it desired a second. So, it grew until it took the shape of a man and woman locked in embrace. And so, the One Atna (god) divided into two parts; man and woman, and from that pair came this universe. (Ancient Satapatha text from Krishna Dharma’s book “Beauty, Power & Grace the Book of Hindu Goddesses.”)


“Beauty, Power & Grace the Book of Hindu Goddesses” simply sparks my imagination.


The goddesses Saraswati is a luminous woman of splendid beauty, the epitome of perfect learning and destroys the darkness of ignorance Dharma wrote. The swift and eloquent writing of ancient and modern Hindu manuscript has imbibed my creativity.  


Human beings seek personal and spiritual fulfillment through a variety of different paths, and the Hindu religion and philosophy encourages this. Acquire wisdom and seek understanding. (The Bible, Proverbs) Hinduism encourages us to seek out many sources of information, including other religions, and to be open to new ideas, while not sacrificing our values.


A solid 4.5-star rating for these Hindu books pictured.
