In this context, the author looks at the writings of Hannah Arendt, Martin Buber and Simone Weil. These writers, all of whom are jewish, experienced the holocaust, the Second World War, and in the case of Buber, the question of Israel and Palestine. In the work of all three are woven stands of resistance, issues of suffering, and questions of meaning in an increasingly inhuman world. We also find issues of personal religious\/spiritual faith-the faith of one's birth, and that of the other. While Simone Weil's work speaks of her work in the Resistance, and also her life among the workers, Buber attempts to solve the issue of West Asia through dialogue and acceptance and by seeing the land as belonging to both Arabs and Jews. Dr Visvanathan goes on to examine the friendship between Gandhi, Rudra and Andrews - a friendship that made it possible for a Christian mission college(St.Stephens in Delhi) to participate in the freedom movement and to crate an identity that was simultaneously nationalist Indian and Christian. This paper supplements one that traces how the British presence in India - first as traders, then later as imperial rulers - negotiated its relationship with Christian missionaries, both European and Indian, and with Indian religious. This relationship, marked by an absence of dialogue, was attempted to be set right in the Hindu Christian ashrams of Fr. Monchanin, Dom Henri le Saux and Dom Bede Griffiths. Two chapters are devoted to henri le Saux, the French monk who became a sanyasi and a devotee of Shri Ramana and Arunachala, while remaining a devout Christian. Dr Visvanathan discusses this as an aspect of the dialogue of cultures and religious within le Saux's \/ Abhishiktananda's self, indeed of the dialogue within, between le Saux and Abhishiktananda. Dr Visvanathan poses dialogue as a real and hopeful alternative to pessimistic and violent notions of civilizational clashes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41113114116139,"sku":"","price":475.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/51pOP4koWZL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1718280296"},{"product_id":"religious-disarmament-rethinking-conversion-in-india-by-rudolf-c-heredia-hardcover","title":"Religious Disarmament Rethinking Conversion in india By Rudolf C.Heredia (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABOUT THE BOOK:- Today religious extremism and fundamentalism is whipping up another wave of terror that seems unbalanced and uncontrollable. We need to step back from the brink with a determined religious disarmament, not to dismiss or negate religion but to disarm and discard the aggression and violence of those that who indulge in, and those who seek to contain this religiously inspired madness. Religious conversion is an unavoidable stumbling block for any aspiration for religious harmony, for any real hope of true religious understanding, both of which are so essential to contain a potentially divisive diversity. Extremism on either side leaves little room for a middle ground of sanity and common sense. There are exclusive positions that negate such a possibility. Inclusive positions too can have their problems when they absorb other differences, leaving little room for distinctiveness. We need a starting position, and we cannot avoid beginning from where we are, within our own perspectives and commitments. We must engage at this level if we are to repair the damage of the past, to heal old wounds and make anew our future. As we claim our common humanity, we open ourselves to discovering together a richness and depth that we could never have alone. Conversion is a complex and emotionally charged issue.

Deeply suspicious of his spiritual precociousness, his father made him go through a traumatic exorcism. But the boy already had a devoted band of followers and, when he was thirteen, announced that he was the Shirdi Sai Baba reborn. Today, Sri Sathya Sai Baba has an estimated thirty million followers worldwide. Acclaimed travel writer and self-described `spiritual nomad' Bill Aitken tells us why so many\"royalty, wealthy industrialists, influential politicians, as well as the poor\"flock to Puttaparthi. Sai Baba's message, he reveals, can be summed up in one word: love. It is as simple as it is profound, not unlike how his devotees see the Sai himself\"the embodiment of deep spirituality wedded to simplicity, elegance and grace. Yet, the Sai phenomenon is less about producing vibhuti from thin air and more about modern-day miracles. Miracles like free schools and universities, super-speciality hospitals which provide free treatment to all and revolutionary projects like the one which has brought drinking water to a million villagers in drought-prone Rayalaseema. Aitken's study is neither a hagiographic exercise in myth-making nor a dry, objective account of the Sai's life. While never shy of expressing his deep love and reverence for Sai Baba, he squarely confronts the controversies and criticisms which inevitably dog those who claim acquaintance with the holy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41126374703147,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/download_20.jpg?v=1719662237"},{"product_id":"building-a-theory-of-the-indic-brahmi-writing-system-problems-and-prospects-by-p-g-patel-hardcover","title":"BUILDING A THEORY OF THE INDIC BRAHMI WRITING SYSTEM:  PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS  BY P.G.

Its objective is to identify the problems that need to be tackled by anybody who tries to develop a theory of the Brahmi writing system. As for the currently scientifically supported hypothesis that Brahmi originated in Tamil Nadu during the sixth century bce or earlier, Patel opts for the need to keep this as an idea for the working basket awaiting new archaeological research in the sixth-century Magadha region. The book deliberates upon how ancient Tamil Nadu was receptive to literacy. The Brahmanical fascination for orality blocked literacy in Vedic India. The brahmanas from north India entered Tamil Nadu only during the third century bce and lived away from residential areas. Tamil Nadu at the time had no caste system. This is reflected in the Sangam literature, which followed historically the grammarian Tholkappiyar. The conditions in Sri Lanka before and after the arrival of Buddhism are noted in relation to the rise of literacy. The relationship between Brahmi in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu is highlighted for the purpose of further research.

It is facing Chairman Mao's statue in front of the Forbidden City. Mysteriously, it disappears a few days later. Why was it removed overnight? Where is it now No clear answers seem to have emerged. Most communist regimes have tried to make a break with the traditions of the past believing them to be the cause of all ills in society. But has the historical experience of Communist regimes shown that to be true? Today, Buddhist, Daoist and Confucian temples across cities and villages in China are crowded with people offering prayers. People swarm to pay their respects to their traditional sages. Like the warp and weft of a fabric, China has the mark of traditions and ancient ethos present in its society and this has come handed down over the centuries and across generations. Confucianism has been among the most well absorbed, best known and documented value systems in China. It was and still is a living tradition, a way of life and a philosophy. Propounded by Confucius (551-479 BC), this value system has had a lasting and deep seated influence on the Chinese. A philosopher and a thinker of the Spring and Autumn period, Confucius has been considered a wise and fair teacher and a shrewd strategist in war. In spite of the fact that Confucian values have been present beneath the surface in China along with Buddhist and Daoist beliefs for generations, it is interesting to study why Confucius is being talked about so much of late. Over the years in Communist China, Confucian thought had been swept under the carpet but resurrected in part depending on whether it suited the then current leadership. While Mao rejected Confucius's ideas, he did not hesitate to use them whenever it suited him. A study of Confucius and his value systems at this moment in time makes sense and is important for a number of reasons. In the evolving socio political milieu of China, interpreting Confucian philosophy as being non confrontationist, benevolent and with values such as filial piety and harmony could help the current political regime deal with such problems as corruption and rising inequalities. Not only is Confucius being used to present to the world a completely Chinese cultural icon but it may also provide the Party with a useful tool to temper the simmering discontent in its society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41128960131115,"sku":"","price":784.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/IMAGE27_0fc0c51b-cb2e-490b-8b4d-25ecd8ef7b94.jpg?v=1720095405"},{"product_id":"the-hindu-way-an-introduction-to-hinduism-by-shashi-tharoor-hardcover","title":"THE HINDU WAY : AN INTRODUCTION TO HINDUISM BY SHASHI THAROOR (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Hindu Way: An Introduction to Hinduism, the new book by bestselling author Shashi Tharoor, whose last three books have sold over a quarter of a million copies in hardback, is the perfect introduction to one of the world’s oldest, largest and most complex religions. Although there are hundreds of books on Hinduism, there are only a few which provide a lucid, accessible, yet deeply layered account of the religion’s numerous belief systems, schools of thought, sects, tenets, scriptures, deities, rituals, customs, festivals and philosophies. This book is one of them. In the tradition of classics of the genre like K. M. Sen’s Hinduism and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s The Hindu View of Life, this book captures the essence of Hinduism with brevity, insight and an enviable grasp of the myriad layers and intricacies of one of the world’s greatest religions. It is a book that is especially timely given the rather controversial role that religion has played in countries around the world. The author tells us why Hinduism is a religion that is well-suited to the needs of the world today: ‘In the twenty-first century, Hinduism has many of the attributes of a universal religion—a religion that is personal and individualistic, privileges the individual and does not subordinate one to a collectivity; a religion that grants and respects complete freedom to the believer to find his or her own answers to the true meaning of life; a religion that offers a wide range of choice in religious practice, even in regard to the nature and form of the formless God; a religion that places great emphasis on one’s mind, and values one’s capacity for reflection, intellectual enquiry, and self-study; a religion that distances itself from dogma and holy writ, that is minimally prescriptive and yet offers an abundance of options, spiritual and philosophical texts and social and cultural practices to choose from. In a world where resistance to authority is growing, Hinduism imposes no authorities; in a world of networked individuals, Hinduism proposes no institutional hierarchies; in a world of open-source information-sharing, Hinduism accepts all paths as equally valid; in a world of rapid transformations and accelerating change, Hinduism is adaptable and flexible, which is why it has survived for nearly 4,000 years.’ The text of The Hindu Way is embellished with over a hundred photographs and illustrations, many of them in colour, on various aspects of the religion. Based on Dr Tharoor’s extensive writing on the subject, including the bestselling Why I Am a Hindu, this book gives the reader an unrivalled understanding of Hinduism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41129413836843,"sku":"","price":630.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/710B5lrvHkL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1720171760"},{"product_id":"the-7-spiritual-laws-of-superheroes-harnessing-our-power-to-change-the-world-by-deepak-chopra-with-gotham-chopra-hardcover","title":"THE 7 SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUPERHEROES : HARNESSING OUR POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD BY DEEPAK CHOPRA WITH GOTHAM CHOPRA (HARDCOVER)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Deepak Chopra has developed his own unique form of complementary, mind-body medicine.”—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eU.S. News \u0026amp; World Report\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe World needs heroes, and, as spiritual authority Deepak Chopra demonstrates in this gripping and deeply perceptive meditation on our potential to excel, everyone of us possesses the power to help save the planet—and the strength to clamor best possible lives.

Baba Ramdev’s emergence as the new ideologue of a national and global spiritual resurgence is considered by many as a curious phenomenon. This work is a study on the making of the Ramdev spectacle with all its inescapable assertiveness, mass enthusiasm and, of course, controversies. It seeks to locate his philosophy in today’s socio-cultural milieu, while tracing its origins in Indian spiritual history, and the past landmark reformist movements that have been initiated in the country by earlier path-breakers including Sri Aurobindo, Swami Dayananda, Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, Bhagawan Nityananda, J. N. Krishnamurty and Sri Ramana Rishi. Indeed, Ramdev represents a renewed continuity to the great revival of the ancient Indian spiritual traditions and yoga that took place in the twentieth century and received recognition worldwide. With his own version of holistic yoga as a ploy for instituting the universal right to health, Baba Ramdev has proposed two distinct ideological alternatives to the current established order of the world – pranayama and the yogic way of life as the key to health restoration and well-being; and manifestation of an enabling spiritual environment for personal and social transformation. Ramdev’s arrival once again underlines the continuing significance of Oriental spiritualism the world over as it offers perhaps the most promising insights for the creation of a ‘new spiritually-awakened man’ – a man at ease with himself and with the world around him.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41131104763947,"sku":"","price":319.2,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/IMAGE32_f1bb86dc-44af-4e05-ae42-dbdff177bd59.jpg?v=1720438944"},{"product_id":"the-happiness-sutra-by-dr-rick-levy-hardcover","title":"THE HAPPINESS SUTRA BY DR.

If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of the choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant—I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we, here in Europe, we who have been nurtured exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and Romans, and of one Semitic race, the Jews, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human, a life, not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life—again I should point to India.’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchopenhauer, the famous German philosopher, said: \"In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life, It’ll be the solace of my death.\" Quoting these words of Schopenhauer, Max Muller says: \"If these words of Schopenhauer required any endorsement, I shall willingly give it as the result of my own experience during a long life devoted to the study of many philosophies and many religions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuoting from the book INDIA of Megasthenes, McCrindle describing the wars of Alexander writes that when the Greek king proceeded to invade India, his mentor, Aristotle, asked him to bring two gifts from that famous country while returning—one was the Gita, and the other some Saint-philosopher. While returning, Alexander directed his emissary Oniocratese, to find out a Saint who could accompany him back home. The emissary contacted two. Saints, one of whom accepted the invitation, while the other named Dandamese declined. It appears that the word ‘Dandamese’ is a Greek form of the Sanskrit word Dandi-Swami as ‘ese’ was used as a suffix to the proper names in Greek language. The emissary told the Saint that if he accompanied Alexander who was extolled as the son of Jupiter—God Himself—the king would be pleased to bestow upon him immense wealth and riches. Hearing this, Dandamese laughed and retorted: Having the verdure and greenery of India surrounded by Himalayas as an abode, bark of trees as clothes for covering the body, clean cold running water of the river for quenching thirst, a handful of grains for sustenance is all one needs for keeping the body and soul together. It passes one’s understanding as to why one needs more than this for living unless it were to accumulate and perish. We of this land of the Rishis possess the richness of the soul before which all the wealth of the world pales into insignificance, and without which the richest man possessing all the material wealth of the world is but a pauper in our eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAurangzeb’s brother Dara Shikoh was so much fascinated by the Upanishads that he invited some learned Pandits from Kashi and listened to their discourses for six months expounding their teachings. In 1656 he translated them into Persian. Anquetil Due Peron, a French scholar, rendered the Persian version of the Upanishads into Latin in 1801. Thus the Muslim world by Dara and the Christian world by Anquetil Due Peron were so much influenced by the Upanishadic thought that these store-houses of spiritual knowledge were avidly read with great interest by scholars of the East and the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sources of Indian thought from which Aristotle, Dara Shikoh, Max Muller and Schopenhauer drew inspiration were the Vedas, the Upanishads and other classical Sanskrit literature containing Vedic thought. But, what is the quintessence of Vedic thought? The quintessence of Vedic thought is that however much advances mankind may make in the material world—we may land on the moon, travel in space with the speed of light, even tear open the bowels of the earth and make it yield unimaginable wealth—so long as we are devoid of the treasure lying hidden in the world of the Spirit, all our achievements are of no avail. But, spiritualism does not mean that this world is nothing but Maya—and the wealth of the world is an illusion. It only means that though the body is real, the soul which animates the body and is apart from the body is also real; though the world of matter is real, God which activates the world and is apart from the world is also real. To start with the body in living beings and the world of matter in the universe and to end therein as the Alpha and Omega of existence is an unreal assessment of reality. When we regard the body and the world of matter as the terminus of reality, then arises the necessity of enlightening our understanding to the fact that all that meets the eye in which we entangle ourselves though real is yet relatively unreal, because its reality is derived from and is dependent on a far greater and more fundamental reality which is independent of all other realities and without which neither the physical body nor the material universe would sustain their existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41132303613995,"sku":"","price":300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/IMAGE17.webp?v=1720597359"},{"product_id":"girls-are-our-future-thoughts-of-a-practical-radical-nun-by-sister-cyril-neil-farrelly-greg-dale-hardcover-old","title":"GIRLS ARE OUR FUTURE : THOUGHTS OF A PRACTICAL RADICAL NUN BY SISTER CYRIL, NEIL FARRELLY \u0026 GREG DALE (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGirls Are Our Future is a vivid compilation of Sister Cyril’s thoughts on a wide variety of topics— education, life, sexuality, social issues, religion—that she has tackled throughout her tenure as Head of the Loreto Girls’ School, Sealdah in the city of Kolkata.

In this compact book, Dr. Nalini Kanta Brahma, an erudite scholar and a well-known exponent of Hindu spirituality, captures its essence, as embedded in the Vedas and the Upanishads.Divided into three parts Part I, Essence of Hindu Spirituality; Part II, Vedantic Transcendence; and Part III, Studies in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the book gives a clear analysis of the teachings of the Hindu scriptures.It starts with an Introduction which shows the greatness of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and the validity of the Upanishads, which Shankaracharya unmistakably showed to be part of the Vedas. The book then goes on to give, in the next three sections, studies on Karma Yoga (performing selfless action as a path of realisation of emancipation).Bhakti Yoga (philosophy and practice of devotion), and J na Yoga (knowledge as a means for realisation of the Absolute, that is, Brahmavidya).Part II is devoted to a detailed discussion on Vedantic Transcendence and Vedantic monism as expounded by Shankaracharya. Finally, Part III delves deep into the teachings contained in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.This well-researched and clearly enunciated study would be valuable for postgraduate and senior undergraduate students of Philosophy and students of Comparative Religion. It would also be very useful to anyone who has an abiding interest in Hindu spirituality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41136779362347,"sku":"","price":476.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/5.jpg?v=1721215542"},{"product_id":"the-ways-of-understanding-the-human-past-history-of-science-philosophy-and-culture-in-indian-civilization-by-d-p-chattopadhyaya-hardbound","title":"THE WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN PAST : HISTORY OF SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURE IN INDIAN CIVILIZATION BY D.P.
