The Upanishads
ISBN: 9781605123806 / Angielski / Twarda / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Upanishads are some of the world's most important works of spiritual literature, presented here in an accessible form by an early ambassador of Vedantic teaching. Swami Paramananda's translations were created in the early 1900s out of a desire to make the Hindu sacred texts comprehensible to Westerners, who had previously had to contend with the more obscure language of purely scholarly translations. The text and commentary was generated in a series of classes given by Paramananda in Boston, and later revised for publication. As a result the language is simple and clear, and the...

God's Gateway: Identity and Meaning in a Hindu Pilgrimage Place
ISBN: 9780195386141 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A celebrated Hindu pilgrimage site, Hardwar lies on the river Ganges at the edge of the Himalayas. Its identity as a holy place is inextricably tied to the mythology and reality of the Ganges, and traditional sources overwhelmingly stress this connection. Virtually nothing has been written about Hardwar's history and development, although the historical record reveals striking changes of the past few centuries. These changes have usually reflected worldly forces such as shifting trade routes, improved transportation, or political instability. Yet such mundane influences have been ignored in...

The Truth about the Gita: A Closer Look at Hindu Scripture
ISBN: 9781616141837 / Angielski / Miękka / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taking a rationalist, skeptical approach, a journalist and humanist advocate critiques the famous Bhagavad Gita on many levels. Among other things, he points out the improbability of the historical events recounted, the logical inconsistencies in the work, and, above all, the retrograde moral perspective represented by the characters. He emphasizes that the long dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and Lord Krishna (an incarnation of the god Vishnu) ends up by condoning violence, even wholesale slaughter. Furthermore, the work extols the Hindu caste system as noble and reinforces superstitions...

Playing God: Belief and Ritual in the Muttappan Cult of North Malabar
ISBN: 9781845535247 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "This fascinating little book deals in detail with what at first might seem a small cult, colourful and dynamic certainly, but of significance merely local to its place of origin in the Indian state of Kerala. As the story unfolds, however, it becomes clear that this is far from the case, and that the phenomenon is full of interest for students of the history of religions. From Dr Gabriel's many other writings we have learned to expect patient investigation and humane and sympathetic interpretation. In this book we find those qualities once more abundantly on display." - From the Foreword by...
