Book Reading Weekend in Antwerp, Belgium
Details
Hello friends and folks, you are invited to a book reading event at Caffe Mundi.
The books chosen for this event is
1. Truth Without Apology.
2. Bhagavad Gita.
About Truth Without Apology: The book is a mirror to human condition, out of which most of our suffering arises.
Most human suffering is not due to lack of information or opportunity, but due to our stubborn loyalty to lies: the lies we inherit, the lies we tell ourselves, the lies we decorate in the name of culture, ambition, pleasure, relationships, even virtue.
The book lays bare the workings of the mind and the mechanisms of self-deception. From this arises the clarity which is not the product of imagination or tradition to take us on a journey of liberation.
About Bhagavad Gita:
Bhagavad Gita starts with two armies facing each other and the belligerents are none other than their own kin. However, on one side, is the warrior Arjuna, grief struck and is unwilling to release arrows to his own kin. He is being confused by the bondage of biology, culture and superstition.
In what follows is the diagnosis of the helpless condition of the Arjuna by Krishna and a discourse expanding on the non existence of an individual self in the entire activity of the natural processes.
In the event, we will read a few paragraphs from a few chapters and discuss the timeless human condition and how it applies to modern problems.
Cheers,
Jay and Suresh
