Изданието е триезично - на английски, немски и френски език. 40th Anniversary Edition. ... "The works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude are monuments of transience. Gigantic in scale, they are always temporary, created to exist only for a limited time and to leave unique, unrepeatable impressions. From the smallest of the Packages made in Paris in the early 1960s, to the delicate pattern of hundreds of branches embraced by a translucent fabric veil... in Christo and Jeanne-Claude's works there is nothing abstract, nothing imagined; it is all there - corporeal and tangible."

It was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art. As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their ... |

Коментари от Гурудев Шри Шри Рави Шанкар. Бащата на йога Патанджали в своите легенадарни сутри е систематизирал цялото познание за йога. Сутрите са кратки стихове или сентенции, които съдържат практическата и философската мъдрост на йога. Сутрите на Патанджали помагат да преодолеем собствените си бариери, изчистват ума ни от погрешните представи и разкриват пред нас един нов хармоничен свят. Когато човек се освободи от всичко ненужно, стига до истинската си природа, основана на мир и любов към себе си и към всичко и всички. Макар и йога сутрите да са древни афоризми, датиращи от хилядолетия, те носят в себе си ... |

Лекции на Шри Шри Рави Шанкар . ... Аюрведа е учението за живота. Веда означава знание. Веда - да знаеш. Аюр е живот. Когато се появи една болест, тя се появява първо под формата на мисъл, най-финия аспект и под формата на звук. След това се проявява под формата на светлина, тоест в аурата и чак тогава болестта се проявява в тялото. Появяват се леки симптоми в непостоянна форма, които могат да бъдат отстранени и след това болестта се проявява в най-осезаема форма, когато вече има нужда от лекарства. Вата доша преобладава в долната част на тялото - стомаха и червата. Болести като гастрит и болки в ставите, са причинени ... |
