पुस्तकाचे मनोगत, पुस्तकाची आत्मकथा मराठी निबंध, Autobiography of Book in Marathi

नमस्कार मित्रांनो, आज आम्ही तुमच्यासाठी घेऊन आलो आहोत पुस्तकाचे मनोगत, पुस्तकाची आत्मकथा मराठी निबंध, autobiography of book in Marathi हा लेख. या पुस्तकाचे मनोगत, पुस्तकाची आत्मकथा मराठी निबंध लेखात या विषयाची संपूर्ण माहिती देण्याचा माझा प्रयत्न असेल.

सर्व वर्गांतील विद्यार्थी मित्र मैत्रिणींना एकाच लेखात संपूर्ण माहिती देणे हाच आमचा एकमेव उद्देश आहे, जेणेकरून तुमचा सर्व वेळ वाया जाणार नाही. चला तर मग पाहूया पुस्तकाचे मनोगत, पुस्तकाची आत्मकथा मराठी निबंध, autobiography of book in Marathi हा लेख.

या लेखातील महत्वाचे मुद्दे

कोणीतरी म्हटले आहे की शरीरासाठी जसे अन्न आवश्यक आहे, तसेच पुस्तके देखील आहेत. लहान मुलांना पौष्टिक आहार दिला जातो जेणेकरून ते कोणत्याही आजारापासून दूर राहतील. लहान मुले हळूहळू बदलतात आणि जसजसे ते मोठे होतात, पुस्तके त्यांना नवीन गोष्टी शिकण्यास मदत करतात.

बाल्यावस्थेपासून किशोरावस्थेपर्यंत, त्याच्या पालकांनी त्याला वाढताना पाहिले. त्यामुळे मानवी शरीरात बदल होतात. परिवर्तनाची आणि ज्ञानाची, मानवी मनात रुची निर्माण करणारी पुस्तके, मानवी शरीरात चैतन्य निर्माण करणारी पुस्तके या पुस्तकांचे वाचन करून अनेक ठिकाणी पुस्तके आपल्याला मदत करतात.

एखादी व्यक्ती वयाच्या चौथ्या वर्षापासून लहान असतानाच लिहायला आणि वाचायला शिकायला लागते. अशा वेळी त्याच्या हातात पुस्तक देऊन त्याला चांगल्या ठिकाणी घेऊन जाते. हळूहळू त्याला पुस्तकातील रंगीबेरंगी गोष्टी कळायला लागतात आणि त्यामुळे मुलाला वाचनाची आवड निर्माण होते.

पुस्तकाचे मनोगत

होय मी पुष्ट्क बोलतोय, मी तुमच्या सर्वांचा खरा सोबती आहे, तरुण आणि वृद्ध, स्त्री आणि पुरुष. मी प्रत्येकासाठी काम करतो. मुलांना माझी रंगीत चित्रे पाहायला आवडतात. मी त्यांचे मनोरंजन करतो आणि त्यांना शिक्षण देतो. जीवनात खरे यश वाचनात येते, त्यामुळे जीवनातील यशाची गुरुकिल्ली मी आहे.

माझ्याकडे असंख्य रूपे आहेत आणि माझ्या सर्व प्रती कोणीही वाचू शकत नाही. जर हिंदूंसाठी मी रामायण, गीता किंवा महाभारत आहे, तर मुस्लिमांसाठी मी कुराण आहे. जर ख्रिश्चन लोक मला बायबल मानतात, तर शीख लोक मला गुरू ग्रंथ साहिब म्हणून वाचतात आणि माझ्या शिकवणीचे पालन करतात. या वेगवेगळ्या आकारांमुळे माझी अनेक नावे आहेत. माझे वेगवेगळे आकार वाचनालयात बघायला मिळतात.

मानवी समाजात ज्याप्रमाणे अनेक जाती आहेत, त्याचप्रमाणे माझ्याही अनेक जाती आहेत. कथा, नाटक, कादंबरी, कविता, समीक्षा, लेख इत्यादी अनेक प्रकार आहेत आणि मानसशास्त्र, समाजशास्त्र, अर्थशास्त्र, विज्ञान शिक्षण इत्यादी अनेक प्रकार आहेत. तो आता कोणती आवृत्ती पसंत करतो हे वाचकांच्या पसंतीवर अवलंबून आहे.

माझा जन्म कसा झाला

माझी वाढ आणि विकास लहानपणापासूनच खूपच हळू गतीने होत आहे. तुम्ही आज माझ्याकडे पाहण्याचा दृष्टीकोन प्राचीन काळी माझ्यापेक्षा खूप वेगळा आहे. प्राचीन काळी कागद किंवा छपाईचा शोध लागला नव्हता. त्यावेळी शिक्षणाचे हे स्वरूप नव्हते. त्या काळात विद्यार्थ्याला मौखिक ज्ञान दिले जात असे आणि विद्यार्थी देखील आपल्या गुरूंचे शब्द लक्षात ठेवेल आणि आपल्या जीवनात लागू करेल.

कागदाचा शोध

कागद बांबू, पेंढा, लाकूड इत्यादीपासून बनवला जातो. पाने छापण्यासाठी प्रिंटिंग मशीनचाही वापर केला जात आहे. छापून आल्यावर मी ते पुस्तकाच्या रूपात संकलित करतो आणि मग पुस्तकाच्या रूपात तुमच्यासमोर येतो.

निसर्गाप्रमाणेच मी मानवजातीच्या हितासाठी जगतो. माझे वाचन ज्ञान वाढवते, नवीन माहिती देते आणि वाचकाचे मनोरंजन करते. जर मी निराश व्यक्तीमध्ये आशा निर्माण केली तर मी आशावादी व्यक्तीमध्ये नवीन ऊर्जा आणतो. मी खचलेल्या माणसाला आधार देतो, तर असहाय्य माणसाला मदत करतो. जो भरकटतो त्याला मी मार्ग दाखवतो आणि जो चांगुलपणाच्या मार्गाने चालतो त्याला मी मार्ग दाखवतो. तुम्हाला पाहिजे तेव्हा तुम्ही माझी सेवा घेऊ शकता, मी खात्री देतो की मी तुमचा थकवा दोन मिनिटांत दूर करू शकेन.

मला वाचून तुम्ही तुमचा वेळ हुशारीने वापरू शकता कारण मी ज्ञानाचा खजिना आहे. जगातील सर्व महापुरुष, शास्त्रज्ञ, ज्योतिषी यांनी मला वाचून ही उंची गाठली आहे. मला वाचल्याशिवाय ज्ञानाच्या शिखरावर पोहोचलेला जगात कोणीही नाही.

पुस्तकाचा प्रवास अनेक ठिकाणी ज्ञानाचा स्त्रोत ठरला, पण या सर्व घडामोडींचा स्वतः पुस्तक मूक प्रेक्षक आहे आणि तो त्याला आपला चांगला मित्र मानेल अशी आशा आहे.

माणसाला त्याच्या आयुष्यात एकाकीपणाचा सामना करावा लागतो पण असे म्हणतात की पुस्तकात नकारात्मक भावना काढून टाकण्याची ताकद असते ज्याला काही लोक सर्वोत्तम सहयोगी मानतात.

Autobiography of a Yogi (MARATHI) - The Original Edition

Regular price Rs. 325.00 Sale

The Book that Sparked a Spiritual Revolution !  Available in MARATHI for the FIRST TIME

Paramhansa Yogananda was the first yoga master of India whose mission was to live and teach in the West. In the 1920s, enthusiastic audiences filled the largest halls in America to hear him speak. His initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting influence is greater still. This book, first published in 1946, helped launch, and continues to inspire, a spiritual revolution in the West.

Only rarely does a sage of Paramhansa Yogananda's stature write a firsthand account of his life experiences. Followers of many religious traditions have come to recognize  Autobiography of a Yogi  as a masterpiece of spiritual literature. Yet, for all its depth, it is full of gentle humor, lively stories, and practical common sense. This is a verbatim reprinting of the original edition, now also including previously unreleased bonus materials. This is the only available edition that contains:

• The original, unedited text, as written by Yogananda himself, free from posthumous changes introduced by others.
• An appendix containing the final chapter, written five years after this edition was first published, presented free from all changes made after Yogananda’s death.
• An all-new foreword and afterword, written by Swami Kriyananda, one of Yogananda’s best-known direct disciples.

This is a verbatim reprinting of the original 1946 edition. Although subsequent reprintings, reflecting revisions made after the author's death in 1952, have sold over a million copies and have been translated into more than 19 languages, the few thousand of the original have long since disappeared into the hands of collectors.  Now, with this reprint, the 1946 edition is again available, with all its inherent power, just as the great master of yoga first presented it.

A book about masters of yoga and saints, written by someone who was himself a master of yoga and a saint. This is an unusual and unique book.

Autobiography of a Yogi  talks about miracles, meditation and yogic teachings in  a way that is easy to understand and even entertaining. For someone interested in spirituality, or even just alternate ways of looking at life, it's incredibly illuminating.

The world is a different place than it would have been without this book. The New Age movement in the West, the impact the book has had on leaders in many fields, and the rise in the practice of yoga and meditation are due in large part to Yogananda’s influence and the influence of his autobiography.

Philip Goldberg wrote in  American Veda  that “Among the people I interviewed about their key spiritual influences, a high percentage named a book, and by far the book most often mentioned was Yogananda's unique memoir. A distant second was  Be Here Now  by Ram Dass, and he mentioned the  Autobiography .”

Sometimes people read it and have their life turned around entirely. It’s a book that, like other scripture, inspires life-long devotion.

Anyone who is interested should read it. It is a great book in every sense of the word.

Who is Kamala Harris' father? Economist Donald Harris absent from the DNC

Vice President Kamala Harris  spoke at length about her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, during her speech on the final day of the  2024 Democratic National Convention  where she  formally accepted  the Democratic nomination for president.

She explained how  her mother , a “five-foot-tall brown woman with an accent” who came to the U.S. from India at age 19, taught her and her sister, Maya, to “do something” about injustice.

Harris also mentioned her father, Donald Harris,  in her speech , recalling pleasant early childhood memories.

“At the park, my mother would say, “Stay close.” But my father would say, as he smiled, “Run, Kamala, run. Don’t be afraid. Don’t let anything stop you.” From my earliest years, he taught me to be fearless,” she said.

But when Harris was in elementary school, she said, her parents split up.

“It was mostly my mother who raised us,” she said.

According to  Harris’ 2019 memoir , Donald Harris continued to see his daughters during the weekend and summer.

Who is Donald Harris, Kamala Harris’ father?

Donald Harris is a post-keynesian economist  who has written on Marxist theory. He is a retired  Stanford University  professor who has served as an economic advisor to his home country of Jamaica. He also taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In her speech, Harris described her father as a “student from Jamaica” when he and her mother met.

Born in Jamaica, Donald Harris immigrated to the US to complete a doctorate degree at the University of California, Berkeley. That’s where he met Shyamala, who was pursuing  a degree in biochemistry  there.

Was Kamala Harris’ father at the DNC?

Donald is Harris’ only living parent. Shyamala died of colon cancer in 2009.

But he was absent from the Democratic convention this week, as he has largely been from his daughter’s political life in general. He hasn’t weighed in on her political career since 2019, when he criticized a comment she made about whether she’s smoked marijuana before.

“Half my family’s from Jamaica. Are you kidding me?” Harris had said.

Donald Harris responded  in a statement to Jamaica Global Online, saying that his grandmothers and parents “must be turning in their grave right now” to see their Jamaican identity being connected to “the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker.”

Harris’ campaign did not issue a response at the time.

Doug Emhoff, Maya Harris; Kamala Harris' family at the DNC

While Donald Harris didn't appear at the Democratic convention, many other members of Harris' family were there.

They included her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff , her sister Maya Harris , her stepchildren Ella and Cole Emhoff , and nieces and nephews Meena Harris, Alexander Hudlin, Jasper Emhoff, and Arden Emhoff.

Maia Pandey of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel contributed to this report.

An Impressive Monument to Christopher Isherwood, Man of Letters (and Lovers)

Though it downplays unflattering details, Katherine Bucknell’s big biography hails the 20th-century writer as an early advocate for the “chosen family.”

CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD INSIDE OUT, by Katherine Bucknell

Many writers’ graves are tourist attractions . Not Christopher Isherwood’s. Indeed, he doesn’t have one. Best remembered for his “Berlin Stories,” which became “I Am a Camera” which became “Cabaret” — and latterly for “A Single Man,” which the designer Tom Ford made into a movie — Isherwood, who died in 1986 at 81 , signed away his corpse to science.

Now the director of his foundation, Katherine Bucknell, a novelist herself, has with great care erected a massive literary cenotaph entitled, with an apt echo of this summer’s most successful movie , “Christopher Isherwood Inside Out.” It joins Peter Parker’s equally gargantuan “ Isherwood: A Life Revealed ,” from 20 years ago: twin lions guarding fiercely the library of Isherwood’s own prodigious autofiction, letters and journals.

The biographers’ little-lion friend, their main Christopher whisperer, is Don Bachardy: the artist and Isherwood’s longtime partner , 30 years his junior and fondly known as Kitty. A landed-gentry Englishman who’d uprooted improbably to Los Angeles, Isherwood was Dobbin, after a toy horse he’d been given by his nanny as a child. They called themselves the Animals , their private domestic idyll the “basket.”

Dozens of other lovers pawed curiously at this basket — some even jumped in, for a time — but none unraveled or overturned it. The couple, who met when Bachardy was 18 and took a while to be accepted even in Isherwood’s bohemian circle, were the first subject of David Hockney’s celebrated double-portrait series.

Bucknell’s considerable sourcework — so much writing from all fronts, so many interviews from the golden age of newspapers, magazines, Cavett — is more than synthesis; it is photosynthesis. Her big blue book breathes and glistens. Her subject, who regularly meditated as a convert with Aldous Huxley to the Hindu philosophy Vedanta, is reincarnated.

And his reputation — somewhat tarnished after the publication of his diaries, which she edited, occasioned a harder look at his antisemitism and misogyny — gets a good spiffing. Isherwood is enshrined here as not just a Grand Old Man of gay liberation, minus the waving rainbow flag (nor did he write about AIDS), but a warrior of finding one’s tribe, or “chosen family.” Imagine the cage match with JD Vance.

Inside the court of Adolf Hitler

Richard J Evans’s group biography of the Third Reich’s enforcers provides a revelatory account of the Nazi mind.

By William Boyd

Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Ernst Röhm, Albert Speer, Joachim von Ribbentrop. The roll-call is still grimly familiar some 80 years on from this motley and deeply unsavoury crew’s heyday. And I have to confess to a disquieting familiarity with these monsters’ lives as I spent many months in 2000 and 2001 researching and writing a six-hour TV drama series about Hitler’s astonishing rise to power over the years between 1913-33 – an unparalleled transformation from a homeless, mentally unstable, penniless vagrant in Vienna to the all-powerful chancellor of Germany in Berlin. I have shelves full of memoirs, histories, diaries and biographies of all the key Nazi players. The series was commissioned by the BBC and 20th Century Fox but was never made (Fox lost its nerve), but its conception – it wasn’t based on any book – absorbed and educated me in the history of the Third Reich and its noxious denizens. So, to open Hitler’s People was to renew acquaintances I thought I had left far behind. Scales fell from my eyes.

The premise behind Richard J Evans ’s utterly absorbing book is that a biographical approach to the history of the Third Reich will tell us more about the perverse culture and power struggles of those key personages who made up Hitler’s inner circle – and whose influence extended further down the food chain – than the overarching, geopolitical historical studies would. He presents us with 22 short biographies, or “portraits”, of the players he considers as crucial. They are congregated under four headings: the Leader, the Paladins, the Enforcers, and the Instruments. The result is an extraordinary rogues’ gallery of the Nazi elite and its more menial jobsworths. Intriguingly, although the Nazi programme was overwhelmingly male-driven, Evans identifies similarly enthusiastic cruelty among women in the lower ranks: Ilse Koch, Irma Grese and Gertrud Scholtz-Klink are among those he includes under the “Instruments” rubric. This top-to-toe analysis is as shocking as it is surprising.

Evans is a magisterial presence in the history of Hitler’s Third Reich. His three influential books – The Coming of the Third Reich , The Third Reich in Power and The Third Reich at War – make him pre-eminently suited to assess the significant personalities in the court of Adolf Hitler and, of course, Der Führer, himself, the “Boss”.

Evans starts his brilliant hundred-page biography of Hitler with the sentence: “For the first thirty years of his life, Adolf Hitler was a nobody.” Here lies the utterly compelling paradox. As Evans reminds us, without Hitler there would have been no Third Reich, no Second World War and no Holocaust. How could this deranged young man, selling his mediocre postcards in 1913 Vienna, wearing a yellow cycling cape that failed to disguise his rank body odour, end up as chancellor of Germany 20 years later and, through his crazed ambitions, have plunged the Western world into war and brought about the deaths of millions of people?

There are many possible answers and Evans judiciously analyses all the more recent historical interpretations. We know far more about Nazi Germany today than ever before. The catastrophe and humiliation of the 1918 Armistice; the revolutionary movements and social unrest that then ensued in Germany; the debilitating depression that followed the 1929 Wall Street crash are all useful pieces of evidence that might explain the rise of the Nazi party (the highest vote the Nazis ever achieved was 37 per cent in the 1932 elections) and its drawn-out, bloody, disastrous denouement. But it seems to me that Evans’s biographical approach to understanding this phenomenon is perhaps the new route to some sort of enlightenment.

The Saturday Read

Morning call.

Of all the “Paladins” that Evans examines, the one that fascinates me most – and who played a significant role in my doomed TV series – is Albert Speer. Speer – tall, handsome, cultured, educated – was an architect, and the youngest member of the Nazi inner circle, only 40 years old at the end of the war. Hitler saw him as a putative son and Speer returned the “love”. It was Speer who first articulated the power of Führerkontakt – that bizarre charisma that Hitler, the most insignificant and undistinguished of men, seemed to possess in his pomp. Ernst “Putzi” Hanfstaengl, an urbane, sophisticated American-German who was briefly a kind of PR official to the embryonic Nazi party in the 1920s described Hitler as having all the allure of a “suburban hairdresser on his day off”. And yet Hitler’s singular presence to his acolytes, and the German population, miraculously grew as his power grew. It seemed almost messianic – and he knew absolutely how to cultivate it.

Hitler promoted Speer to become the minister of armaments and munitions in 1942, supervising a vast population of forced labour of some 14 million, which kept the Nazi war machine working to its best ability. Hundreds of thousands of slave-labourers died under Speer’s watch yet, at his trial in Nuremberg after the war, he claimed to be ignorant of every aspect of the Nazi’s ruthless extermination process.

Speer’s “get-out-of-jail” ruse was to assert that, at the very end of the war, he had tried to gas Hitler in the bunker, and those in the bunker with him, and bring about an end to the conflict. Ironies abound – gassing Hitler? He failed, he said, because the ventilation towers of the bunker were too high. However, Speer’s intellectual, classy, soigné manner was persuasive in court. He wasn’t to be executed – he was sentenced instead to 20 years imprisonment. Another brutal irony – Speer’s number two, Fritz Sauckel, was executed for the crimes Speer’s organisation committed. Speer’s incarceration ended in 1966 and his memoir, Inside the Third Reich , became a bestseller and made its author an international celebrity, continually interviewed about his unique familiarity with the Hitlerian court. He spun his story extremely well. Speer died in 1981, after having a stroke in a London hotel while on a visit to his mistress.

Evans is unsparing about Speer, calling him out as a clever, manipulating, unscrupulous liar who finessed his way to avoid his justified execution as one of the mass murderers of the Nazi regime. However, his portraits of the other significant figures in the Hitler entourage are far more nuanced. Evans rejects the knee-jerk depiction of Himmler, Göring and Goebbels, et al, as sociopaths, deviants and losers. His short biographies weigh up all the new evidence and present these ghoulish, mythic personas as rounded, three-dimensional figures. They were, by and large, middle class, and from normal, happy families. They had clearly delineated personalities. Röhm was an accomplished pianist; Goebbels had earned a doctorate; Göring was an enthusiastic if erratic art collector. But all of them owed their ascent to power to one man, Adolf Hitler.

So what about the “Boss”? Evans says that, despite the mass of new material about Hitler, “opinion among historians and biographers remains deeply divided”. But it is clear that this ordinary, disturbed man was transmogrified into a sort of semi-deity that the German populace readily identified with. Evans argues that:

“Constant adulation further corrupted Hitler’s already narcissistic mentality. His arrogance and overconfidence, based on crude racial stereotypes, led him into fatal misjudgements during the war. The Americans, he declared, were “as stupid as chickens”. “The Russian colossus is collapsing under its immobility”. The “English” were “decadent”… From the very beginning, misled by the memory of World War I, Hitler grotesquely overestimated the ability of Germany, a medium-sized European power, to confront and defeat three vast empires, the British, American and Soviet, any one of which possessed resources that far exceeded its own. But for Hitler, economic statistics were irrelevant: what counted in his mind was strength of will, a reflection above all of what he supposed to be the Germans’ racial superiority.”

My conclusion, after spending many months reading and writing about Hitler and his “people”, was that the most cogent interpretation of his behaviour and abhorrent values, from the outset of his rise to power, was that he was insane. This was to be the message of my aborted TV series. “Deluded”, “narcissistic”, “egomaniacal” – similar interpretations don’t do enough to explain his actions. To me, Hitler’s fraught endgame in the bunker in April 1945 was the moment the veils were stripped away. The rambling, thought-disordered, drug-abusing, Parkinson’s-diseased, weirdo-nutter was, writ large, the man he had always been.

Martin Amis , in the afterword to his 2014 novel about the Holocaust, The Zone of Interest , would appear to agree with me. He wrote about Hitler that “we are continuing to beg an enormous question: the question of sanity… And madness, if we impute it (and how can we exclude it?) is bound to frustrate our investigation – because of course we will get no coherence, and no legible why, from the mad.” If you only read one book about Hitler and the short, bleak, horrendous life of Nazi Germany, then this is the one for you. Richard Evans’s superb and important account – with its dark and chilling narrative of Hitler’s eagerly compliant associates, underlings, servants and enforcers – establishes that evil, apocalyptic regime as the most potent warning to our contemporary world.
