This is the unabridged original english translation (with all the comments and annotations) made by Sir Richard Francis Burton and first published in 1883. The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian Hindu text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature written by Vatsyayana. A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sexual intercourse. It is largely in prose, with many inserted poetry verses. "Kama" which is one of the three goals of Hindu life, means sensual or sexual pleasure, and "sutra" literally means a thread or line that holds things together, and more metaphorically refers to an aphorism (or line, rule, formula), or a collection of such aphorisms in the form of a manual. Contrary to popular perception, especially in the western world, Kama sutra is not just an exclusive sex manual; it presents itself as a guide to a virtuous and gracious living that discusses the nature of love, family life and other aspects pertaining to pleasure oriented faculties of human life. Content Vatsyayanas Kama Sutra has 1250 verses, distributed in 36 chapters, which are further organized into 7 parts. According to the Burton translation, the contents of the book are structured into 7 parts like the following: 1.

The Siksha-Patri of the Svami-Narayana Sect is a seminal text that functions as both a spiritual guide and a doctrinal foundation for followers of the Swaminarayan tradition. Written in the early 19th century, this treatise employs a didactic style, articulated through aphoristic verses that are rich in Sanskrit and Gujarati idioms. The text intricately maps the tenets of devotion, ethics, and community life within the sect while addressing the socio-religious milieu of India during a period of colonial encroachment and reform movements. The teachings encapsulated in the Siksha-Patri are central to understanding the evolving faith of Swaminarayan Hinduism and reflect the sects emphasis on personal spiritual development and societal transformation. Although the author remains anonymous, the work is believed to have been crafted by a close disciple of Swaminarayan, who sought to distill the masterAos teachings into a cohesive framework for daily living. This anonymity invites readers to focus not on the individuality of the author but on the collective voice of the tradition, emphasizing a communal identity. The period in which it was written was marked by a resurgence of Hindu religious reformation, influencing the authors perspective on morality and spirituality. Readers seeking insight into the spiritual ethos of the Swaminarayan movement will find the Siksha-Patri to be an indispensable resource. Its combination of theological depth and practical guidance makes it not only essential for adherents of the faith but also for scholars and seekers interested in the complexities of Hindu devotional literature. This text invites reflection and application of its teachings, offering a timeless pathway to understanding devotion and ethical living in a modern context.

This book is a collection of 195 Sanskrit sutras (aphorisms) on the theory and practice of yoga. The Yoga Sutra was compiled sometime between 500 BC and 400 AD by the sage Patanjali in India, who synthesized and organized knowledge of yoga from much older traditions. The yoga Stra of Patañjali was the most translated ancient Indian text in the Middle Ages, having been translated into about forty Indian languages and two non-Indian languages: old Javanese and Arabic. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was in relative darkness and made a comeback in the late 19th century. It was founded in the 19th century due to the efforts of Swami Vivekananda, The Theosophical Society and others. It regained importance as a comeback Classic in the 20th century.In the 19th century, history shows that the medieval Indian yoga scene was dominated by the various other texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Vasistha, texts attributed to Yajnavalkya and Hiranyagarbha, as well as literature on hatha yoga, tantric yoga and Pashupata Shaivism yoga and not the Yoga Stra of Patañjali.The yoga tradition considers the Yoga Stra of Patañjali to be one of the fundamental texts of classical Yoga philosophy. The appropriation - and embezzlement-of the Yoga Sutras and their influence on later Systematizations of yoga were, however, questioned by scholars such as David Gordon White, but affirmed by others such as James Mallinson.Modern yoga scholars such as Philipp A. Maas and Mallinson regard the Bhasya commentary on the Sutras as Patanjalis own and the Sutras as his summary of older yoga accounts. The combined document is thus regarded as a single work, the Ptañjalayogastra.

Buddhism and Gautama, the faith and its founder, whose followers are between four and five hundred millions of the human race, were comparatively unknown in Europe but a generation ago, and yet this great faith had continued for four and twenty centuries to spread over the vast lands of the East, taking deep and enduring root in all, from Bhotan, Nepaul, and Ceylon, over Further India to China Proper, Mongolia, Mantchooria, Tibet, and Japan.Buddhism, as it is found in Burmah, has a particular claim to the attention of a diligent and attentive observer. We there have that religious creed or system as pure from adulteration as it can be after a lapse of so many centuries. Philosophy never flourished in Burmah, and, therefore, never modified the religious systems of the country. Hinduism never exercised any influence on the banks of the Irrawaddy. Chinese and Burmese have often met on battlefields, but the influence of the Middle Kingdom has never established itself in Burmah. In other words, Chinese Buddhism has never been able to penetrate into the customs and manners of the people, and has not attempted to communicate its own religion to its southern neighbours. It would seem that the true form of Buddhism is to be found in Burmah, and that a knowledge of that system can only be arrived at by the study of the religious books of Burmah, and by attentively observing the religious practices and ceremonies of the people. This is what Bishop Bigandet has endeavoured to do throughout his work.

En el hinduismo, Shiva es una de las deidades más importantes, siendo la tercera persona de Trimurti, formada por Brahma, el dios creado; Vishnú, el conservador del universo, y Shiva, el destructor o transformador de toda la creación. El shivaísmo, por lo tanto, es una rama de hinduismo que venera a Shiva como el Principio Supremo, a la vez inmanente y trascencente… El Shivaísmo (Trika) elaboró un sistema metafísico basado en un no-dualismo puro: el universo resulta de una objetivación del pensamiento de Shiva que es razón absoluta y principo de creación. Según las enseñanzas del shivaísmo, el ser humano, mediante una profunda transformación espiritual logra realizar la unión con lo Absoluto —incausado e incondicionado—, más allá de la dualidad de un yo "ilusorio".
