Es un código ético estricto y particular al que muchos samuráis (o bushi) entregaban sus vidas, que exigía lealtad y honor hasta la muerte. Si un samurái fallaba en mantener su honor, podía recobrarlo practicando el seppuku (suicidio ritual). Se dice que desde pequeño, el bushido era inculcado a los japoneses de la clase dirigente incluso antes de despegarse del pecho de la madre.

A collection of the lectures of Max Muller, India: What it Can Teach Us portrays India, especially Vedic India, as an epitome of virtue and morality, whose glory is equal to classical Greek and Roman thought. Muller, in these essays, urges the West to abandon their superior colonial mind-set to adopt the multi-dimensional efficacy that is inherent to Indian culture.

On 25 June, 1950, the invasion of South Korea by the Communist North launched one of the bloodiest conflicts of the last century. The seemingly limitless power of the Chinese-backed North was thrown against the ferocious firepower of the UN-backed South in a war that can be seen today as the stark prelude to Vietnam.

Es un tratado sobre el kenjutsu escrito por Miyamoto Musashi en su vejez —durante su retiro de ermitaño en la cueva de Reigandō en 1643— y finalizado el 19 de mayo de 1645, pocas semanas antes de su muerte. El libro está dedicado a su pupilo Terao Magonojo. Se considera un tratado clásico sobre la estrategia militar de Japón, en una línea semejante a El arte de la guerra, escrito por el estratega chino Sun Tzu.

Gengis Khan e Attila sono sicuramente due tra i condottieri più conosciuti di tutti i tempi: il primo è stato capace di creare il più vasto impero mai visto sulla faccia della terra, il secondo invece con i suoi Unni fece tremare Roma e, a tutt’oggi, incarna il mito del barbaro violento e distruttore. Stiamo parlando di due icone che fanno parte dell’immaginario collettivo mondiale e che hanno scritto con il sangue pagine e pagine di storia sui campi di battaglia di mezzo mondo.

Per molto tempo gli storici si sono limitati a considerare Gengis Khan come un barbaro, un uomo violento che attraverso scorribande e razzie aveva conquistato il più grande impero mai visto sulla faccia della terra. Nella storiografia recente, invece, grazie a studi più approfonditi e alla caduta di molti pregiudizi ideologici, la vita di Gengis Khan si è rivelata molto più complessa ed intrigante di quanto sarebbe potuta sembrare fino a pochi anni fa. Nel 2000 infine la consacrazione: il Whashington Post infatti ha nominato l'imperatore mongolo “uomo del millennio”.

I am inspired by Max Mueller and Dr. Karan Singh in bringing this inspirational education to life. The quotes and clips are informative, educational, and speak about the origins of language, comparative religions, Sanskrit, and revealing the truth of India being the cradle of civilization. It was not easy getting this series together, as there is so much to life that lies hidden under the sheets of everyday living, relationships and self actualization, much of this is lost in the mist. One has to read between the lines and bring out the personality that produces such great literary works.
