Book Synopsis Mysticism in India by : Ramchandra Dattatraya Ranade
Download or read book Mysticism in India written by Ramchandra Dattatraya Ranade and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mysticism in India is a complete and informative description of the teachings, works, and lives of the great poet-saints of Maharashtra written by a scholar and professor who was also a mystic. Jnaneshwar, Namadev, Tukaram, Eknath, Ramdas, and the other saints discussed belonged to the great devotional religious movement that spread through medieval India. With the exception of Ramdas, they all belonged to the tradition of the Varkaris, the most popular sect in contemporary Maharashtra. Their compositions exemplify the universality of their faith and practice, and are recognized as literary treasures. Ranade was primarily interested in the poet-saints as mystics--teachers of the perennial philosophy--whose experiences have general metaphysical and religious implications. At the heart of his classic is a comprehensive, objective presentation of the thought of these saints, augmented by a deep appreciation of their value and relevance to present-day scholars and seekers. Mysticism in India is the only major study in English of medieval Indian religious literature. The book's enduring value has been enhanced by the addition of a foreword by a scholar currently working in Marathi literature, and a preface by a present-day poet-saint of Maharashtra.

Book Synopsis Buddhist Saints in India by : Reginald A. Ray
Download or read book Buddhist Saints in India written by Reginald A. Ray and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-30 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of saints is a difficult and complicated problem in Buddhology. In this magisterial work, Ray offers the first comprehensive examination of the figure of the Buddhist saint in a wide range of Indian Buddhist evidence. Drawing on an extensive variety of sources, Ray seeks to identify the "classical type" of the Buddhist saint, as it provides the presupposition for, and informs, the different major Buddhist saintly types and subtypes. Discussing the nature, dynamics, and history of Buddhist hagiography, he surveys the ascetic codes, conventions and traditions of Buddhist saints, and the cults both of living saints and of those who have "passed beyond." Ray traces the role of the saints in Indian Buddhist history, examining the beginnings of Buddhism and the origin of Mahayana Buddhism.

Book Synopsis Lost and Found in India by : Braja Sorensen
Download or read book Lost and Found in India written by Braja Sorensen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on India written by foreigners share one trait: the authors visit India, then leave. Sorensen moved in, set up house, became a resident in a village on the banks of the Ganges river, and eventually called India "home". A dozen years later, she's still there. Her writing swings from the depths of an ancient culture through to drunk bathroom repair men, tied together with a refreshing, grounded voice. It's macabre, hilarious, philosophical, and all 100% true. No, really.... "Braja Sorensen describes her adopted India with no analytical or spiritual pretenses. A funny, committed book." - Farrukh Dhondy

Book Synopsis Sages, Saints & Kings of Ancient India by : Swami B. B. Tirtha Maharaja

This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The people of ancient times were inclined to give their attention not only to the external world of inert matter, but also to the world within, the vital world of consciousness. Those sages who understood the importance of such contemplation comprise the prime subject matter of this book. Especially in the troubled world of today, it is by the conscientious study of their activities and teachings that we may come to understand the Absolute Truth, or the Ultimate Reality, and attain lasting peace and joy. The pastimes of such great, sagely personalities have been narrated in detail in an ancient collection of works known as the Puranas, as well as in timeless epics such as the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and other Vedic literatures. In this book, Srila Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha Goswami Maharaja, a bona fide self-realized representative of the bhakti (devotional) lineage, has narrated important episodes and addressed salient points from these literatures. Thus, the avid reader may understand their inner meaning and apply this knowledge to their search for real happiness. Ultimately, such unadulterated, permanent happiness, according to the devotional tradition, is realized as the attainment of pure love of God, Sri Krishna.
