Paisano Vyavahar (Sanxipt): પૈસાનો વ્યવહાર (સંક્ષિપ્ત)
by Dada Bhagwanતમને ક્યારેય એવું અચરજ થયું છે કે શા માટે કેટલાક લોકો પાસે પૈસા છે અને કેટલાક પાસે નથી?, પૈસા અને આધ્યાત્મિકતા વચ્ચે શું સંબંધ છે? નીતિ એ જગતના વ્યવહારનું મુખ્ય તત્વ છે. તમારી પાસે બહુ પૈસા નથી, પરંતુ તમે નીતિવાન છો તો તમને મનમાં શાંતિ હશે અને તમારી પાસે બહુ પૈસો હોવા છતાં તમે અનીતિવાન છો તો તમે દુઃખી હશો. ‘ વેપારમાં ધર્મ હોવો જોઈએ પણ ધર્મમાં વેપાર ન હોવો જોઈએ’ એ વેપાર અને ધર્મ માં પાયાની નીતિ છે. પૂર્વેના કેટલાય ભવોના અનુભવોના ફળરૂપે થયેલા આત્મજ્ઞાનથી પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીને આ જગત માં થતા બધા પૈસાના વ્યવહારોનું પરમ જ્ઞાન હતું. પૈસો આવવો અને પૈસો જવો, નફો – ખોટ, માણસ મૃત્યુ પામે છે ત્યારે તે પોતાની સાથે શું લઇ જશે અને શું મૂકી જશે તેના ગુપ્ત સિદ્ધાંતો, અને પૈસાના નાનામાં નાના વ્યવહારને લગતા બધા સિદ્ધાંતોનું તેમને જ્ઞાન હતું. વાણીના માધ્યમથી બહાર પડેલા તેમના જીવનના અનુભવોનું આ પુસ્તકમાં સંકલન કરવામાં આવ્યું છે. અમારી હાર્દિક આશા છે કે વાચકને તેનું જીવન શુદ્ધિ અને પરમ શાંતિથી જીવવાના પ્રયત્નોમાં આ પુસ્તક મદદરૂપ થાય.
Paiso Ka Vyvahaar (Sanxipt): पैसों का व्यवहार (संक्षिप्त)
by Dada Bhagwanएक सुखी और अच्छा जीवन बिताने हेतु, पैसा हमारा जीवन का बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है| पर क्या कभी आपने यह सोचा है कि, ‘ क्यों किसी के पास बहुत सारा पैसा होता है और किसी के पास बिल्कुल नहीं?’ परम पूज्य दादाजी का हमेशा से यही मानना था कि, पैसों के व्यवहार में नैतिकता बहुत ही ज़रूरी है| अपने अनुभवों के आधार पर और ज्ञान की मदद से वह पैसों के आवन-जावन, नफा-नुक्सान, लेन-देन आदि के बारे में बहुत ही विगतवार जानते थे| वह कहते थे कि मन की शान्ति और समाधान के लिए किसी भी व्यापार में सच्चाई और ईमानदारी के साथ नैतिक मूल्यों का होना भी बहुत ही ज़रूरी है| जिसके बिना भले ही आपके पास बुहत सारा धन हो पर अंदर से सदैव चिंता और व्याकुलता ही रहेगी| अपनी वाणी के द्वारा दादाजी ने हमें पैसों के मामले में खड़े होने वाले संघर्षों से कैसे मुक्त हो और किस प्रकार बिना किसी मनमुटाव के और ईमानदारी से, अपना पैसों से संबंधित व्यवहार पूरा करे इसका वर्णन किया है जो हम इस किताब में पढ़ सकते है|
Palabras a mi mejor amiga: Notas a mí misma para encontrar el camino de regreso a casa
by Nekane GonzálezUn inspirador libro sobre lo importante de los mensajes que damos con nuestras palabras, especialmente las que usamos para hablarnos a nosotras mismas. Si las palabras crean realidades, construyamos una donde el mundo sea un lugar más amable. Sobre todo, el propio: nuestro mundo interior. Este libro es brújula para cuando te sientas perdida, subtítulo del corazón cuando las palabras se hacen un nudo, memoria para recordar lo importante, bálsamo en la herida, justicia contigo misma cuando eres tu peor enemiga y hogar cuando no sabes cómo regresar a ti. En definitiva, empatía y conexión de la mano de tu mejor amiga: tú. ¿Acaso existe un regalo más mágico? La terapeuta ocupacional, antropóloga y especialista en Inteligencia Emocional Nekane González nos propone en este inspirador libro un ejercicio de reflexión y de apoyo empezando por nosotras mismas. En sus páginas están plasmados muchos de los mensajes que todas en algún momento necesitamos, repletos de cariño, comprensión y abrazo. Coge el tuyo y vuela. «Este libro tiene distintas formas de leerse: puedes hacerlo en orden o abrirlo al azar por la página que quieras. Este libro es libre. Como tú. Eso sí, a cambio, cuando lo hagas, te pido que leas cada texto dos veces. Una de ellas pensando en esa amiga a quien le regalarías sus palabras, quizá porque esté pasando por un mal momento, tal vez porque quieres expresarle cuán especial es en tu vida o, sencillamente, porque te recuerda a ella. Luego léelo pensando en ti, porque está pensado como un remedio, un lugar que alivia, cura y abraza; y, sobre todo, que te ayuda a ser consciente de aquello que en ocasiones el dolor o las propias circunstancias son incapaces de hacerte ver: la valía que llevas dentro».

Palabras de fuego: Reflexiones sobre Jesús de Nazaret
by OshoUna visión profunda y genuina de las palabras de Jesús en el contexto de nuestro siglo. Osho reflexiona sobre las revolucionarias palabras que pronunció Jesús y te brinda la oportunidad de vislumbrar el poder transformador de sus parábolas y acciones, antes de que fueran despojadas de su fuerza y autenticidad por culpa de intereses eclesiásticos, dogmas y fanatismos. Las palabras de Jesús son como el fuego, pero después de varios siglos de repetición, de reproducirlas como un loro, se ha acumulado una gran cantidad de polvo sobre ellas. El esfuerzo de Osho consiste en redescubrirlas y darte una nueva conciencia para verlo. Debes estar muy atento, porque transitarás un camino bien conocido de una manera muy diferente; explorarás un territorio ya recorrido, pero con una actitud totalmente nueva, con la que serás transformado interiormente.
Palabras de fuego: Reflexiones sobre Jesús de Nazaret (Osho Ser.)
by OshoEn este libro, Osho diserta en torno a las revolucionarias palabras que pronunció Jesús, y brinda al lector una oportunidad de vislumbrar el poder transformador que encerraban las parábolas y las acciones de Jesús, antes de que ambas fueran despojadas de su fuerza, por intereses eclesiásticos, dogmas y fanatismos. A lo largo de la historia se han celebrado ceremonias de iniciación para relacionar al hombre con su propia espiritualidad. En algunos rituales se ha utilizado el agua; en otros se ha usado el fuego. Cristo es símbolo de la renovación: El resucitó. Ser transformado interiormente con su ejemplo y su mensaje es un bautismo de fuego. Osho desafía las clasificaciones. Sus miles de charlas cubren todo, desde la búsqueda individual del significado hasta los problemas sociales y políticos más urgentes que enfrenta la sociedad en la actualidad.

Pandemic Anxiety: Fear, Stress, And Loss In Traumatic Times
by Margaret WehrenbergFrom a leading writer on anxiety management, a timely and urgent book on navigating the “new normal.” With the global pandemic, our world changed seemingly overnight. Nobody knows when normalcy will return. Uncertainty engenders anxiety, so it isn’t surprising that now, without exaggeration, we can say that the world is seeing a new face of anxiety: fear of grocery stores or friendly strangers standing nearby on a hiking trail; fear of returning to offices as “the Great Pause” transitions to re-emerging work life; fear of sending our children back to school. This new anxiety also masks real experiences of grief and loss, making them unmanageable and, therefore, hard to navigate. Margaret Wehrenberg, one of our most sensitive anxiety writers, offers context and strategies for dealing with the bewildering state of life today. With her trademark combination of neurobiological context, practical suggestions, and engaging stories, Wehrenberg provides readers just what is needed in these uncertain times: a way to deal with unprecedented challenges and the realities of the world as it is now.

Panic Free: The 10-Day Program to End Panic, Anxiety, and Claustrophobia
by Tom Bunn“HURRY, BUY THE BOOK AND TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE.” — Marla Friedman, PsyD, PC, board chairman, Badge of Life What if you could stop panic by tapping into a different part of your brain? Through natural stimulation of your vagus nerve, you can end panic and anxiety, and this book can show you how. After years of working to help sufferers of panic and anxiety, licensed therapist (and pilot) Tom Bunn discovered a highly effective solution that utilizes a part of the brain not affected by the stress hormones that bombard a person experiencing panic. This “unconscious procedural memory” can be programmed to control panic by preventing the release of stress hormones and activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This process, outlined in Panic Free, sounds complicated but is not, requiring just ten days and no drugs or doctors. Bunn includes specific instructions for dealing with common panic triggers, such as airplane travel, bridges, MRIs, and tunnels. Because panic is profoundly life-limiting, the program Bunn offers can be a real life-changer.

by Hugh Aldersey-Williams Simon BriscoeAre you afraid you might succumb to bird flu? Worried that a life of poverty awaits you in old age?

Pantsdrunk: The Finnish Path to Relaxation
by Miska RantanenDanes have hygge. Swedes have lagom. But the Finns have the best - "kalsariokanni" or pantsdrunk – drinking at home, alone, in your underwear.When it comes to happiness rankings, Finland always scores near the top. Many Finnish phenomena set the bar high: the best education system, gender equality, a flourishing welfare state, sisu or bull-headed pluck. Behind all of these accomplishments lies a Finnish ability to stay calm, healthy and content in a riptide of endless tasks and temptations. The ability comes from the practice of "kalsarikanni" translated as pantsdrunk.Peel off your clothes down to your underwear. Place savory or sweet snacks within reach alongside your bed or sofa. Make sure your television remote control is nearby along with any and all devices to access social media. Open your preferred alcohol. Your journey toward inner strength, higher quality of life, and peace of mind has begun.
Papal Magic: Occult Practices Within the Catholic Church
by SimonIt is acknowledged Church doctrine that sorcery is the specific domain of the Devil. Yet occult tales are liberally sprinkled throughout the Old and New Testaments, from the spirit-invoking Witch of Endor to the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Throughout its 2,000 year history, the Church has spawned numerous mystical religious orders, like the Knights Templar, that may have been engaged in supernatural pursuits, while no fewer than three popes were believed to be involved in occult practices.Christian scriptures tell us that the occult is real, while Catholic priests are thought to have spiritual power over ghosts and evil entities. But if a priest can cast out demons during the rites of exorcism, does it not imply he has the ability to summon them as well?In this eye-opening, provocative work, leading occult scholar Simon examines the Church's unspoken relationship with forbidden magic by exploring the infamous seventeenth-century document considered by some to be the most demonic of all occult texts—the Grimoire of Pope Honorius III—and illuminates the Vatican's darkest hidden corners.
