Book Synopsis The Bhagavadgita in the Nationalist Discourse by : Nagappa Gowda K.
Download or read book The Bhagavadgita in the Nationalist Discourse written by Nagappa Gowda K. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-30 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bhagavadgita has lent itself to several readings to defend or contest various views on life, morality, and metaphysics. This book explores the the role of the Bhagavadgita in the formation of nationalist discourse. It examines the ways in which the Gita became the central terrain of nationalist contestation, and the diverse ethico-moral mappings of the Indian nation. Focusing on Bankimchandra Chatterjee, Balgangadhar Tilak, Swami Vivekananda, Aurobindo Ghose, Mahatma Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave, and B.R. Ambedkar as the representatives of different strands of nationalist discourse, this volume probes their reflections on the Gita. The author also discusses with issues such as the relation between the nation and the masses, renunciation and engagement with the world, the ideas of equality, freedom, and common good, in the context of a nationalist discourse. He argues that the commentaries on this 'timeless' text opened up several possible understandings without necessarily eliminating one another.
Book Synopsis The Bhāgavata Purāna by : Ravi M. Gupta
Download or read book The Bhāgavata Purāna written by Ravi M. Gupta and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vibrant example of living literature, the Bhagavata Purana is a versatile Hindu sacred text written in Sanskrit verse. Finding its present form by the tenth century C.E., the work inspired several major north Indian devotional (bhakti) traditions as well as schools of dance and drama, and continues to permeate popular Hindu art and ritual in both India and the diaspora. Introducing the Bhagavata Purana's key themes while also examining its extensive influence on Hindu thought and practice, this collection conducts the first multidimensional reading of the entire text. Each essay focuses on a key theme of the Bhagavata Purana and its subsequent presence in Hindu theology, performing arts, ritual recitation, and commentary. The authors consider the relationship between the sacred text and the divine image, the text's metaphysical and cosmological underpinnings, its shaping of Indian culture, and its ongoing relevance to contemporary Indian concerns.

Book Synopsis Elementary Aspects of the Political by : Prathama Banerjee
Download or read book Elementary Aspects of the Political written by Prathama Banerjee and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Elementary Aspects of the Political Prathama Banerjee moves beyond postcolonial and decolonial critiques of European political philosophy to rethink modern conceptions of "the political" from the perspective of the global South. Drawing on Indian and Bengali practices and philosophies from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Banerjee identifies four elements of the political: the self, action, the idea, and the people. She examines selfhood in light of precolonial Indic traditions of renunciation and realpolitik; action in the constitutive tension between traditional conceptions of karma and modern ideas of labor; the idea of equality as it emerges in the dialectic between spirituality and economics; and people in the friction between the structure of the political party and the atmospherics of fiction and theater. Throughout, Banerjee reasserts the historical specificity of political thought and challenges modern assumptions about the universality, primacy, and self-evidence of the political. In formulating a new theory of the political, Banerjee gestures toward a globally salient political philosophy that displaces prevailing Western notions of the political masquerading as universal.
Book Synopsis Vedantic Hinduism in Colonial Bengal by : Victor A. van Bijlert
Download or read book Vedantic Hinduism in Colonial Bengal written by Victor A. van Bijlert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the ways in which modern Hindu identities were constructed in the early nineteenth century. It draws parallels between sixteenth and eventeenth Cecntury Protestantism and the rise of modernity in the West, and the Hindu reformation in the nineteenth century which contributed to the rise of Vedantic Hindu modernity discourse in India. The nineteenth century Hindu modernity, it is argued, sought both individual flourishing and collective emancipation from Western domination. For the first time Hinduism began to be constructed as a religion of sacred texts. In particular, texts belonging to what could be loosely called Vedanta: Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. In this way, the main protagonists of this Vedantist modernity were imitating Western Protestantism, but at the same time also inventing totally novel interpretations of what it meant to be Hindu. The book traces the major ideological paths taken in this cultural-religious reformation from its originator Rammohun Roy up to its last major influence, Rabindranath Tagore. Bringing these two versions of modernity into conversation brings a unique view on the formation of modern Hindu identities. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of religious, Hindu and South Asian studies, as well as religious istory and interreligious dialogue.

Book Synopsis Imagining Indianness by : Diana Dimitrova
Download or read book Imagining Indianness written by Diana Dimitrova and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together several important essays examining the interface between identity, culture, and literature within the issue of cultural identity in South Asian literature. The book explores how one imagines national identity and how this concept is revealed in the narratives of the nation and the production of various cultural discourses. The collection of essays examines questions related to the interpretation of the Indian past and present, the meanings of ancient and venerated cultural symbols in ancient times and modern, while discussing the ideological implications of the interpretation of identity and “Indianness” and how they reflect and influence the power-structures of contemporary societies in South Asia. Thus, the book studies the various aspects of the on-going process of constructing, imagining, re-imagining, and narrating “Indianness”, as revealed in the literatures and cultures of India.

Book Synopsis Krishna and Mediation by : Professor (Dr.) V. K Ahuja
Download or read book Krishna and Mediation written by Professor (Dr.) V. K Ahuja and published by National Law University and Judicial Academy, Assam. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book Krishna and Mediation is a humble attempt by the author to go back into the history and look at the institution of mediation in India. The Book is not written as a legal treatise. It is written from the point of view of layman and to understand how meditation prevailed in India from ancient time to settle disputes and bring peace and harmony to the society. Though the institution of mediation could be traced back to Vedic period; and Treta Yuga, where it was invoked to avert war between Rama and Ravana, the focus however, has been made on Krishna doing mediation in Dwapar Yuga. The reason for doing so is that Krishna has been considered as Lord of the Universe; and when the Lord of Universe himself adopts a particular mode of dispute resolution, it motivates the entire society and encourages people to resolve their disputes and differences through that mode. The indigenous justice delivery system included Kulani, Sreni, Puga, Mahajan, Mediation and Panchayats. Mediation had always been one of the most important methods of resolving disputes and conflicts. Mediation was done by Angada between Rama and Ravana in Treta Yuga; by Lord Krishna between Kauravas and Pandavas in Dwapar Yuga; and by Supreme Court in Ram Janambhoomi case. Unfortunately, all the three mediations failed. Nevertheless, the community learnt its potential as a dispute settlement mode and invoked it in endless number of cases in the informal manner. The Book discusses conflict and dispute in detail. It also discusses many facets of Lord Krishna. Emphasis has been made on Lord Krishna as Mediator. The Book also discusses Mediation in India and at the international level in contemporary times. It also discusses about the pendency of cases which is going to touch the figure of 5 crores, which is more than the population of several countries taken together. The Book discusses how mediation may become game changer and bring down the pendency of cases. The references have been made to dharma, verses of Gita, stories, poem, etc. to exemplify certain facts. I sincerely hope that the Book will come to the expectations of the readers.
Book Synopsis Probing the Depths of Evil and Good by :
Download or read book Probing the Depths of Evil and Good written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the few years since the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, evil has become a central theme in the media and human consciousness: the evil of terrorism, the evil of secular culture, concern for poverty, and climate change... Yet different cultures and religious traditions have different ideas of what evil is and what its root causes are. Although there is no massive clash of cultures, many disagreements and also conflicts in the world arise from the deep differences in views of evil. This volume explores religious views of evil. Scholars from different religions and from various parts of the world describe how people probe the depths of evil—and by necessity that of good—from their own background in various worldviews. In their explorations, almost all address the need to go beyond morality, and beyond legalistic definitions of evil and of good. They point to the radical depths of evil in the world and in human society and reinforce our intuition that there is no easy solution. But if we can gain a better understanding of what people from other worldview traditions and cultures consider evil, we are that much closer to a more peaceful world.
