This engaging and accessible work provides an introduction to the Hindu tradition of Advaita Vedānta and brings it into discussion with contemporary concerns. Advaita, the non-dual school of Indian philosophy and spirituality associated with Śaṅkara, is often seen as "other-worldly," regarding the world as an illusion. Anantanand Rambachan has played a central role in presenting a more authentic Advaita, one that...

I believe we the INDIANS, like all other peoples of the world, are naturally susceptible to flattery. But unfortunately they have been deprived of their share of it, even in wholesome measure, both by the Fates presiding at the making of their history as well as by the guests partaking of their salt. We have been declared inefficient in practical matters by our governors, foreign missionaries have created a vast literature proclaiming our moral obliquity, while casual visitors have expressed their opinion that we are particularly uninteresting to the intellectual mind of the West. Other...

The history of any nation is not made in a day but the result of centuries of silent working of all the creative forces in the land. Bharata Varsha, presently known as India, alone has the unique claim to make that she is the home of many great religions, rushis and saints. She can take pride in the fact that she possesses a spiritual culture of very high order. The backbone of Indian national life is religion. Our land has passed through many spiritual crises. Religion has always been an integral part of our education from very early times. Keeping the above in view, this book, written by my...

The importance of Samskrtam, as a scientific conveyor of analytical information, has been stressed by various scholars. We are all aware that every other Science like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astrology, Astronomy, Aayurvedam, Dhanurvedam and what not, are known to be available in Samskrtam. What is the exception for Computer Science. That is inspiration and encouragement for this book. This may not be a comprehensive one. But if it inspires more research unearthing the hidden treasure in Samskrtam, the goal of writing this book is achieved.

This is not a facsimile of Max Muller's famous book, 'India, What Can It Teach Us?: A course of lectures delivered before the University of Cambridge', but a faithful reproduction of the text of the 1883 American edition, including introduction and notes by Prof. Alexander Wilder. This edition is now in the public domain. Friedrich Max Muller (1823-1900), generally known as Max Muller, was a philologist and Orientalist renowned for his works on Indian studies and comparative religion."

The field of Hindu-Christian studies revives theology as a particularly useful interreligious discipline. Though a sub-division of the broader Hindu-Christian dialogue, it is also a distinct field of study, proper to a smaller group of religious intellectuals. At its best it envisions a two-sided, mutual conversation, grounded in scholars' knowledge of their own tradition and of the other.

Based on the Westcott-Teape Lectures given in India and at the University of Cambridge, this book explores the possibilities and problems attendant upon the field of Hindu-Christian Studies, the...

'Religion is a tool in the hands of the oppressor against the oppressed solely because he frames the commandments and calls them the God's', is an apt description of the Hindu social order.

The book rips open the raw nerve of Hinduism-its invidious castes, positioned as a 'God-ordained' institution, commandeered by its freebooter priestly class while clandestinely establishing its religious, social and political hegemony through interpolation of its pristine and effulgent scriptures.

The author boldly analyses this imbroglio through a microscopic analysis of these and more related...

There is nothing more miserable than to feel that emancipation is in the air and yet suffer the slavery of a mistaken idea.

The author seeks to re-invent Hinduism by bringing to the fore its most fundamental postulates as:

1. Worship of the monotheistic formless Brahm.

2. God-realisation through Nishkam Sewa (selfless service).

3. Social equality and brotherhood (vasudhaiva kutumbakam).

4. Self-realisation through Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga.

5. Salvation through worldly life of Purushaarth (Dharm, Arth, Kaam, Moksha).

'EK Samaj' repudiates the...

-In the ancient times, when ignorance was the default mode of thinking, Krishna may have proven to be a glorious figure to be adored and relied on in times of distress, but in the modern world of conscientious humans, no Krishna is higher than the Human Self.-

Abhijit Naskar, a globally acclaimed author comes to the investigation of a divine character of the Eastern religious philosophy-Krishna. With the tools of modern Neuroscience, he enables us to look into the imaginary Krishna character, created by an ancient Indian man, and discover its biological impact on...

Advaita theology rejects plurality at two levels: (1) At the phenomenal level it assumes "one unknowable" from which the Universe emanates and into which it dissolves, (2) At the absolute level it believes in the "via negativa" which pervades everything and provides an existential basis to the phenomenal Universe including our subjective and qualitative experience. This via negativa is knowable (realizable) and its Knowledge is said to be liberating. In Advaita tradition the "via negativa" is known as Brahman. Upanishads gave positions (1) and (2) among other things based on which Advaita...

Digital Hinduism is an edited volume seeking to build a scholarly discourse about how Hinduism is being defined, reformed, and rearticulated in the digital era and how these changes are impacting the way Hindus view their own religious identities. Moreover, it seeks to expand and enrich the fast developing scholarship on digital religion, in part because the age of new media has offered many new narratives on the convergence of philosophy, practice, praxis, and discourse through new technologies and platforms. To this end, this volume seeks to showcase how dharmic practices connect with new...
