Описание: This book is a dialogue between a scholar and a person who left Islam because of the attraction of Western culture. Its author wrote it in response to a former colleague who wrote books ridiculing Islam while praising modernity. This short book outlines the importance of not judging Western culture by its outer appearances alone without considering the emptiness of its inner reality. It also discusses the importance of having good friends and the harmfulness of immoral associates. Most of the advice offered in this book explains why Islam alone is the key to true happiness in this world and the next. This book is a heartfelt plea to all those who have been misled by this world and Shayṭān to return to guidance and is a kind invitation back to Islam. Do not despair of Allah's Mercy.
Описание: A major literary event: Mencken's dazzling autobiography, with 200 pages of his own never-before-published commentary and photos. In 1936, at the age of fifty-five, H. L. Mencken published a reminiscence about his boyhood in The New Yorker, beginning a long and magnificent adventure in autobiography by America's greatest journalist. Mencken went on to gather his childhood recollections in Happy Days (1940), a richly detailed, poignant account of growing up in Baltimore. A critical and popular success, the book surprised many with its glimpses of a less curmudgeonly Mencken, and there soon followed the absorbing sequels Newspaper Days (1941), charting his rise at the Baltimore Herald from cub reporter to editor, and Heathen Days (1943), recounting his varied excursions as journalist and public figure, including his coverage of the Scopes trial in 1925. But unknown to the legions of Days books' admirers, Mencken continued to add to them after publication, annotating and expanding each volume in typescripts sealed to the public for twenty-five years after his death. Until now, most of this material--often more frank and unvarnished than the original Days books--has never been published. Containing nearly 200 pages of previously unseen writing, and illustrated with photographs from Mencken's archives, many taken by Mencken himself, this expanded and definitive edition of the Days trilogy is a cause for celebration.

Описание: The Vedānta-sūtra, which consists of aphorisms revealing the method of understanding Vedic knowledge, is the concise form of all Vedic knowledge. The aphorisms or sūtras of Vedānta-sūtra were compiled by Śrīla Vyāsadeva, a powerful incarnation of Śrī Nārāyaṇa. All the authorized and established sampradāyas have their own commentary on Vedānta-sūtra. However, no one in Gauḍīya Sampradāya has written a commentary on Vedānta-sūtra, until sometimes back, in Jaipur, the Gauḍīyas were challenged that "The Gauḍīya Sampradāya has no commentary on the Vedānta-sūtra." So Baladeva Vidyābhūṣana, with the order of Govindaji at Jaipur, he wrote the commentary on Brahma-sūtra, which is called Govinda-bhāṣya. From then, it became the commentary on Brahma-sūtra for the Gauḍīya Sampradāya. The philosophy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, which amalgamated the views of all the previous Acaryas in His thesis of Acintya-bhedabheda Tattva, is explicitly explained by Sri Baladeva Vidyabhusana in his Govinda Bhasya of the Vedanta-sutra. The Vedānta-sūtra, which is well known among scholars by the following additional names: (1) Brahma-sūtra, (2) Śārīraka, (3) Vyāsa-sūtra, (4) Bādarāyaṇa-sūtra, (5) Uttara-mīmāṁsā and (6) Vedānta-darśana. - Compiled from lectures, purports, and conversations of Śrīla Prabhupāda, Founder-Ācārya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)
