Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: None else could have made a better presentation on the practice side of Hindu religion, with its underlining concepts of Hindu faith, than Dr. Nalini Kanta Brahma. His classic work, Philosophy of Hindu Sadhana, is now being relaunched in the Eastern Economy Edition for the benefit of students, researchers, and all those who have an abiding interest in philosophy and religion. The author stresses those characteristics of Hindu religion that bring out its kinship with the higher religious thoughts of the world so that the reader can discern a common fabric of organic unity of higher religions. The text brings to fore the correlation between theory and practice of different Hindu philosophical systems. Sadhana, the instrument to attain perfection as propounded in Hindu Philosophy—being a means to a better end—has been discussed in the text in its various forms as followed by different religious systems of the Hindus. Part I of the book deals with the function and characteristics of Hindu Sadhana in general. Part II elucidates the specific forms of Hindu Sadhana that includes Karma, the path of prescribed actions, Jnana, the path of higher intellect, and Bhakti, the path of devotional worship. The book also deals with Yoga, the form of Sadhana as propounded by Patanjali. Finally, it emphasizes the importance and value of discipline and devotion that are inherent in the good practice of Hindu religion.

Book excerpt: Sadhana: The Realisation of Life is a great religious text by Rabindranath Tagore that deals with values and Hindu philosophy and it contains this passage: " The meaning of the living words that come out of the experiences of great hearts can never be exhausted by any one system of logical interpretation. They have to be endlessly explained by the commentaries of individual lives, and they gain an added mystery in each new revelation. To me the verses of the Upanishads and the teachings of Buddha have ever been things of the spirit, and therefore endowed with boundless vital growth; and I have used them, both in my own life and in my preaching, as being instinct with individual meaning for me, as for others, and awaiting for their confirmation, my own special testimony, which must have its value because of its individuality."

He deals clearly and exhaustively with such topics as Shaktipat (the descent of Divine Grace), Diksha (initiation), and the role of the Guru. His treatment of the various paths (upayas) appropriate for the different types of practitioners is especially useful. The book ends with a chapter on enlightenment (jivanmukti). This chapter not only presents the meaning of self-realization-in-this-lifetime, but offers material on this topic for the first time in English.

Book excerpt: Sadhana, literally "a means of accomplishing something", is an ego-transcending spiritual practice. It includes a variety of disciplines in Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist and Muslim traditions that are followed in order to achieve various spiritual or ritual objectives. Perhaps it is well for me to explain that the subject-matter of the papers published in this book has not been philosophically treated, nor has it been approached from the scholar's point of view. The writer has been brought up in a family where texts of the Upanishads are used in daily worship; and he has had before him the example of his father, who lived his long life in the closest communion with God, while not neglecting his duties to the world, or allowing his keen interest in all human affairs to suffer any abatement. So in these papers, it may be hoped, western readers will have an opportunity of coming into touch with the ancient spirit of India as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of to-day. All the great utterances of man have to be judged not by the letter but by the spirit--the spirit which unfolds itself with the growth of life in history. We get to know the real meaning of Christianity by observing its living aspect at the present moment--however different that may be, even in important respects, from the Christianity of earlier periods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people have confused notions of Hindu spirituality. 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 realization of emancipation), Bhakti Yoga (philosophy and practice of devotion), and Jñ na Yoga (knowledge as a means for realization 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Causality and Science may at first sound as abstract and, perhaps, as esoteric subjects. For, while one seems to touch on the transcendental and the metaphysical realm, the other seems to be rooted on terra firma. However, while reading through this compact and concise book, written with great clarity and precision, one comes to realize that there is no clash between these two, and indeed reconciliation between them is possible. The author, with his remarkable erudition and scholarship, contends that the whole conception of science is so much bound up with the causal concept that it seems hardly possible that science could ever be able to do without it. He argues that space, time and causality are the three categories on which science is built. The book also shows that of the four causesÑmaterial, formal, efficient, and final, how the material and efficient causes are given prominence. In this process, the book demonstrates the inadequacy of the empirical view of causation, and shows that material cause combines with the efficient and final causes, or how these coalesce into one and only the adequate cause remains. There is no antagonism between the noumenon and the phenomenon or the Brahma and the MŒyŒ. Even though relativity may reign supreme for many, the author says that there is no opposition between perfect spontaneity and freedom and law and system on the one hand, and causality and determinism on the other. Ultimately, a reconciliation between causality and freedom can be effected, and the Reality that there is neither ÔfreeÕ nor ÔunfreeÕ, but trans-cends both the qualities can emerge as the Absolute which can solve for ever all oppositions. The book would be of interest to students of philosophy and any reader who has a philosophical and scientific bend of mind to delve deeper into the relation between causality and science.

Book excerpt: Sadhana The Retaliation of Life is India's ancient heritage written by Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore. It is one of the profound books on spirituality and is highly recommended for spiritual wisdom. The book answers some profound questions like; why God created the world? Why devil exists? Does beauty has a purpose? Etc.He also describes mother nature and says if the earth does not pull us with the exact force we could have not been able to walk on earth. With this decision to understand the complexity of this effort and the effort required to solve the conditions that the world of work shows outside, there is a meditation session every day. This is not "Let me figure it out; Let me take it." Everything you do is running. There is a surge of energy through yourself as if you are being lifted up. You will be like if you raise the ground itself in a spiritual way, and flood it with power that is not on your side or on the side of the world, but in 'the whole part.Tagore gives beautiful answers to these questions with Sanskrit verses from the Upanishad and the teachings of Lord Buddha. It will keep you happy, joyful, and breathless. Sadhana is one of those books which needs to be read slowly because every sentence contains an immense amount of knowledge.

Book excerpt: “Sadhana – The Realisation of Life” is a breathtaking collection of spiritual discourses given by Rabindranath Tagore. A repository of the timeless wisdom of the East, Sadhana is one of the most profound books on spirituality that you will ever read! We highly recommend it to any seeker of spiritual wisdom. The book consists of eight essays, in which Tagore answers some of the most profound questions of life: Why did God create this world? Why would a Perfect Being, instead of remaining eternally concentrated in Himself, go through the trouble of manifesting the Universe? Why does evil exist? Do love and beauty have a purpose? Tagore masterfully brings the spiritual truths behind these profound questions to light, with his lucid explanations of the Sanskrit verses of the Upanishads (Indian spiritual texts dating to ~800 B.C.) and the eternal teachings of Lord Jesus and Buddha. Sadhana is one of those rare books that need to be read slowly, as each sentence contains an immense amount of wisdom to be digested! In the end Tagore’s captivating and rational explanations will leave you feeling breathless, exhilarated and brimming with peace, happiness and joy, as you become aware of the tremendous unifying force behind this immensely diverse and awe-inspiring Creation!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We find today in different parts of the world fierce feuds and strifes. Religious fanaticism and fundamentalism contribute in a substantial way to such strifes and conflicts among people. We also find a large number of people are steeped in superstitions, irrational beliefs, and indulge in mere ritualism. Where true religion prevails, such fanaticism and fundamentalism find no place. A deep comparative study of world religions enables one to drive away all superstitions and fanaticism. For religion, in the true sense, is an abiding faith in the values of life, and God is the embodiment of all values. Religious experience accordingly implies the realisation of the Absolute. What Prof. Nalini Kanta Brahma tries to do in this well-researched book, written in a clear and straightforward style, is to demonstrate the nobility and positive aspects of each religion he has discussed. He classifies religion into three categories: Impersonal—under which he brings in Buddhism, Jainism and Confucianism; Personal—in this category he describes Christianity, Islam and Vaishnavism; and Supra-personal—under which he analyzes Vedantism, Sufism, Taoism and the Johanine Gospel (the Gospel of St. John, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ). The fundamentals of each religion are discussed with great clarity and genuine appreciation. Knowing very well there are a large number of opponents to religion, the author vigorously defends the religious view. He successfully meets the various objections of Freud, Marx and Bertrand Russel, among others. For, he says, agnosticism, atheism and scepticism are based on a narrow and limited view of life. Realisation of divinity by man is the universal characteristic of all religions, and the author contends that it should aptly be called the universal religion. This realisation of the divinity is so marked in the supra-personal religions and being a votary of such religions, he stresses that they are on a different level. If a study of this world religion is included in the course on comparative religion for students, it would certainly help towards dispelling erroneous notions about religion and drive away many superstitions, fanaticism and communalism, the last being a cancerous growth that eats into the very fabric of a nation. Besides students of philosophy who study comparative religion as one of their subjects, all enlightened persons who have an abiding faith in religion should find reading this text an exhilarating and ennobling experience.
