The Classic Text: Traditions and Interpretations
"In what ways have such classic works as the Bible and the plays of William Shakespeare been presented to a loyal readership over the centuries? How have the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans been transmitted through the millennia, and why do they continue to hold such potency and relevance? How has the vivid imagery of Dante's Divine Comedy been depicted and interpreted from the middle ages to the present? Would Milton's Paradise Lost have entered the canon of western literature without the untiring promotional efforts of its principal publisher? Why do works such as Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans and Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin continue to hold secure positions as American literary classics? Would James Joyce's Ulysses have remained an obscure modernist novel without the censorship issues that surrounded it?
These are some of the questions addressed by a major exhibition entitled "The Classic Text: Traditions and Interpretations," that was on view in the Fourth Floor Exhibition Gallery of the Golda Meir Library from May 1996 through March 1997. This exhibit was redesigned as a Web exhibit in 1997.
The exhibition of over 130 books, manuscripts, and prints, drawn principally from the library's Special Collections, is concerned less with the literary merits of the great standard classics, than it is with the text as cultural icon, offering insight into the question of what becomes a classic most, and why."
Some of these Classics are:
1. The Bible
2. Homer
3. Aristophanes
4. Virgil
5. Ovid
6. Saint Augustine
7. Dante Alighieri
8. Geoffrey Chaucer
9. Edmund Spencer
10. William Shakespeare
11. John Milton
12. James Fenimore Cooper
13. Nathaniel Hawthorne
14. Harrier Beecher Stowe
15. James Joyce

The Meaning and Purpose of Life
If you are like me, worrying whether there is some meaning in this life or whether it has got a specific purpose, you may find this site interesting.
There is also an intersting article on "Meaning of Life" in Wikipedia. If you so like, you can peruse that also.
Eyecatchers-12: "Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development Blog"
Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development Blog
'Self-Help', 'Self-Improvement, or 'Personal Development' - Generally all these terms are used synonymously. This is a good blog for those who are interested in the subject.
Also furnishing a link to article on "Self-Help" from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Eyecatchers-8: "Bhagavad Gita and Mahabharata"
This site provides the great Indian epic, Mahabharata, and the great spiritual book of India, Bhagavad Gita.
One can read the Bhagavad Gita in any one of the three languages of one's choice: Sanskrit, Hindi or English.
There are a lot of commentories on the Gita by eminent persons. I have studied some of them. Generally, the first reading is from beginning to end, with a pen in hand to highlight/underline passages which appeal to me. During the second reading, I pay more attention to the highlighted passages and after that I open the book and read at random the highlighted passages only. Thus, without much effort, I always pick up some elevating/ennobling thoughts/ideas. Lord Krishna's advice to Arjun, holds good for us also and I found them helpful on many an occasion. Some of these gems I recall at random and give below:
1. The doer of good, never comes to harm.
( This motivates one to do good always.)
2. No effort is ever wasted.
(So I don't give up my efforts on the face of difficulties and go on with my efforts)
3. My devotee never perishes.
(For all embodied souls, death is imminent, even incarnations of God are not exempt from this.For the devotee who has surrendered himself to God, death will be an honorable one. He will not perish i.e. meet with ignominious death).
4. Give up cowardice/unmanliness, it ill becomes thee!
(This motivates one to face challenges in life manfully, instead of running away from them.)
This digital version should be more easier to refer to. So I feel it is a good contribution and deserves kudos. My sincere thanks to http://www.4to40.com/ !
