Hinduism: This Is Hinduism
Summary
This audiobook contains an easily accessible overview of the Hindu religion, with a focus on those coming from the Western religions and cultures. While quite a few of us in the west are familiar with at least some aspects of the religion (karma, for instance), most of us lack any real depth of understanding of the complexities and nuances of one of the world's oldest and most diverse religions. I hope that by listening to this book you can at least begin to scratch the surface of this rich and intricate religion. We will cover the basics of the belief system, including the concepts of karma, reincarnation, ahimsa, and the one Supreme Being. These concepts unite all the various sects of the Hindu religion, as well as all of the regional and familial variations in what is a rich and complex religion. The pantheon of the gods is described, with an emphasis on each god's function. The rich symbolism present in their depictions is also explored, for a small sampling of the main deities. A full treatment of the symbolism is a subject worthy of a full semester college course. Not only is Hinduism rich in its diversity of gods and goddesses, it is also filled with many different rituals and festivals. Some of the most important rituals that punctuate the life of a Hindu are described. Rituals that are performed for pregnancy, birth, and death are common. Like we are accustomed to in the west, the Hindu religion also celebrates many holidays. I describe some of the most popular. Finally, I give a brief overview of what can only be considered one of the largest collections of religious scriptures in the world. They number over 100, though not all are accorded the same significance. This work is intended to serve as a jumping off point for you to begin your self-exploration of the world's oldest and third largest religion. Listen to the audiobook today to learn more about this fascinating religion.

Affirmations
Summary
This audiobook has 500 powerful and positive affirmations that will catapult you to great heights that you've never even imagined before. You've probably heard a version of Earl Nightingale's famous quote from the 1956 book The Strangest Secret, which says, "'The secret' is that you are what you think. You become what you think about. You can create the life you want, simply by thinking the right thoughts". Buddha had already said it, "The mind is everything. What you think, you become." But what exactly does this really mean? Does it mean just thinking occasionally about how fancy you want your life to be or does it mean obsessing about it every single moment? Well, while you may not realistically think about something every passing moment, the truth is that you can infuse the right thoughts (in this case; success thoughts) into your mind to help you attract the success that you desire so much. Just as Buddha and Nightingale put it, if you want to attract success, you have to think success. This success doesn't necessarily have to be material possessions; it could be health, happiness, relationship, and in many facets of your life that many of us find it hard to succeed at. If you are searching for the ultimate solution to any of your personal and professional struggles that limit your success, you're in luck because this book contains magical "elixirs" that can transform you into a powerful, confident, courageous, and self-assured person who's not afraid of taking risks. It aims to help you unlock and realize your true, full potential, and instill the motivation and confidence you need to work incredibly hard to actualize your goals and aims. Listen to this audiobook today and transform into a powerful, confident, courageous, and self-assured person!
