As a world religion, Hinduism remains one of the most elusive for many. Its teachings, beliefs, practices, and history are reviewed here by an expert hoping to introduce readers to the world of Hinduism. While there are many forms of Hinduism, and offshoots as well, the complex nature of this faith makes it elusive to many. This straightforward overview, focusing on Vaishnavism-the most common form of Hinduism―is ideal for those who wish to learn more about this ancient tradition..
Beginning with chapters about the foundations of Hinduism, Rosen clearly lays out what is otherwise a complicated history. Providing Hindu terms alongside English translations, he is able to bring the faith alive for readers unacquainted with its varieties and its tenets. Moving on to chapters about practices, including festivals, teachings, chanting, eating habits and more, Rosen brings Hinduism to life in vivid detail.

**Use copy in Blurb1Deep in India's past, Lord Krishna revealed the 700 verse Bhagavad-Gita, a spiritual poem containing universal, nonsectarian truths. In 1995, Steven Pressfield decided to introduce the Bhagavad-Gita to a contemporary audience, so he restructured the Gita in terms of a golf novel, The Legend of Bagger Vance. As he says, "In the Gita the troubled warrior Arjuna receives instruction from Krishna, Supreme Lord of the Universe, who has assumed human form as Arjuna's charioteer. Instead of a troubled warrior, it's a troubled golf champion (Ranulph Junah); instead of his charioteer, it's his caddie Bagger Vance." Now a major motion picture directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon and Will Smith, The Legend of Bagger Vance is loosely based on the ancient Hindu epic. Steven Rosen, in Gita on the Green: The Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance, draws the story out further using some thirty years of Gita scholarship and a writing style that is both eloquent and thorough. Rosen takes us on a colorful journey into the golf world of Bagger Vance, as well as into the spiritual realm of Bhagavan Sri Krishna. By the end of the journey, one realizes that one has just read a commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita while hitting a hole in one.

Rock journalist Steven Rosen goes way back with both bands — he once drove singer Paul Rodgers to an Elvis Presley concert in his Triumph Herald, and covered Bad Company's formation in Rolling Stone. One of the greatest rock outfits of the early seventies, Free peaked with the seminal hit "All Right Now". When Free disbanded, due amongst other things to Paul Kossoff's spiralling heroin addiction, Rodgers and Free drummer Simon Kirke combined with Mick Ralphs to form one of the seventies best-known supergroups — Bad Company. Steven Rosen has written major features and cover stories for virtually every important music magazine including Rolling Stone, Musician, Creem, Circus and Guitar Player

One of the bands to emerge from the British blues boom of the 1960s, Free, with its stripped-down instrumental style, spanned the divide between artistically acceptable progressive rock and ephemeral pop music. The youthful band initially had considerable success but a combination of business inexperience and the mounting drug problems of its heroin-addicted guitarist Paul Kossof led to their split in 1973. Author Steven Rosen skilfully documents the band's internal feuding, Kossof's terminal overdose as well as Rodgers's and Kirke's formation of the successful Bad Company.

Lost Cincinnati Concert Venues of the '50s and '60s: From the Surf Club to Ludlow Garage

Review\n"The book also provides detailed coverage of The Beatles' two Cincinnati shows. We talked to Rosen about the book and those heady days of Cincinnati's music scene."\nhttps://www.cincypeople.com/culture-blog/2022/6/1/old-time-rock-n-roll?fbclid=IwAR0GD9kkqKx9APMvMSenZG47zgBpqB7Jc8DnU_kXbQSudr-iis4G-NnvTqA\n"This is just one evocative moment featured in Lost Cincinnati Concert Venues of the '50s and '60s, a new book by prolific music journalist and former CityBeat Arts & Culture Editor Steve Rosen. Narrowing his focus on two decades that saw Jazz undergo an experimental renaissance while Rock & Roll rose to cultural dominance, Rosen's book shows how a handful of now-defunct venues and local grassroots movements helped some of the most exciting figures in popular music make their mark on the Queen City."\nJude Noel CityBeat\n"True to its title, the book is organized by the venues where concerts took place, but venues only matter because of the events they host, and those events are what is really at the heart of Lost Cincinnati Concert Venues of the '50s and '60s."\nDenny G's Road Trips\nThe nightspots, rock clubs, arenas & more that made the city swing\nCincinnati in the '50s and '60s offered a stunning array of live music and entertainment venues. Though many of them no longer exist, their memories live on. Fulfilling an "obligation" to mobsters, blues crooner Charles Brown played a residency at the Sportsman's Club in Newport. Incendiary comedian Lenny Bruce performed at the Surf Club on the city's conservative west side. Jim Tarbell's short-lived but iconic Ludlow Garage became a major stop on the national "ballroom" circuit that grew up around rock 'n' roll as it matured into its progressive, experimental era. Signaling an end to the '60s, Iggy Pop created a sensation at the 1970 Cincinnati Summer Pop Festival at Crosley Field.\nJoin seasoned journalist Steven Rosen on a tour through historically heady days in the Queen City's music scene.
