Book Synopsis Vishnu's Crowded Temple by : Maria Misra
Download or read book Vishnu's Crowded Temple written by Maria Misra and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As it enters its sixtieth year of independence, India stands on the threshold of superpower status. Yet India is strikingly different from all other global colossi. While it is the world's most populous democracy and enjoys the benefits of its internationally competitive high-tech and software industries, India also contends with extremes of poverty, inequality, and political and religious violence. This accessible and vividly written book presents a new interpretation of India's history, focusing particular attention on the impact of British imperialism on Independent India. Maria Misra begins with the rebellion against the British in 1857 and tracks the country's advance to the present day. India's extremes persist, the author argues, because its politics rest upon a peculiar foundation in which traditional ideas of hierarchy, difference, and privilege coexist to a remarkable degree with modern notions of equality and democracy. The challenge of India's leaders today, as in the last sixty years, is to weave together the disparate threads of the nation's ancient culture, colonial legacy, and modern experience.

Book Synopsis THE TALL TALES OF VISHNU SHARMA: PANCHATANTRA , Issue 2 by : Samit Basu
Download or read book THE TALL TALES OF VISHNU SHARMA: PANCHATANTRA , Issue 2 written by Samit Basu and published by Graphic India. This book was released on 2014-01-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some old stories never lose their bite. The tales of Vishnu Sharma have barely begun and already he's been kidnapped by talking animals, had a near-death experience with a homicidal boy wizard, and now he's expected to walk INTO a book called the Panchatantra, the ancient collection of Indian fables of which Vishnu is supposedly the guardian. If that weren't enough, when Vishnu is pulled inside the pages of folklore and fantasy, death and oblivion seem all too real. This fairytale is more like a nightmare, where 'THE END' is something he desperately wants to avoid.
Book Synopsis Vishnu Sahasranama by : Swami Chinmayananda
Download or read book Vishnu Sahasranama written by Swami Chinmayananda and published by Central Chinmaya Mission Trust. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s deep connection between the name and the named. The name brings to our mind the image of the person thought of and the more one thinks, the more consistent the impressions; for example, when we say ‘flower’, we immediately conceive a mental picture of the flower. This is the sole principle behind association. The 1000 names of Lord Vishnu are meant to invoke a sense of bonding with the Lord, who’s the most intimate one, whether we recognize it or not. Yet how often and how deeply do we call out to him? The meanings of the names given out here will help in understanding the magnitude and depth of godhood. Vishnu Sahasranama was taught by Bhishma lying on a bed of arrows to Yudhishthira. It brought joy and solace to both. May it do the same to us as well.
Book Synopsis The Buddhist Viṣṇu by : John Clifford Holt
Download or read book The Buddhist Viṣṇu written by John Clifford Holt and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishe. This book was released on 2008 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Holt's groundbreaking study examines the assimilation, transformation, and subordination of the Hindu deity Visnu within the contexts of Sri Lankan history and Sinhala Buddhist religious culture. Holt argues that political agendas and social forces, as much as doctrinal concerns, have shaped the shifting patterns of the veneration of Visnu in Sri Lanka. Holt begins with a comparative look at the assimilation of the Buddha in Hinduism. He then explores the role and rationale of medieval Sinhala kings in assimilating Visnu into Sinhala Buddhism. Offering analyses of texts, many of which have never before been translated into English, Holt considers the development of Visnu in Buddhist literature and the changing practices of deity veneration. Shifting to the present, Holt describes the efforts of contemporary Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka to discourage the veneration of Visnu, suggesting that many are motivated by a reactionary fear that their culture and society will soon be overrun by the influences and practices of Hindus, Muslims, and Christians.

Book Synopsis The Strides of Vishnu by : Ariel Glucklich
Download or read book The Strides of Vishnu written by Ariel Glucklich and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books about Hinduism often begin by noting the immense size and complexity of the subject. Hinduism is vast and diverse, they say. Or it doesn't exist at all - Hinduism is merely a convenient (and foreign) term that masks a plurality of traditions. In either case, readers are discouraged by the sense that they are getting only a tiny sample or a shallow overview of something huge and impossible to understand. This book is designed to be accessible and comprehensive in a way that other introductions are not, maintaining an appealing narrative and holding the reader's interest in the unfolding sequence of ideas through time and place. Each of the 13 chapters combines historical material with key religious and philosophical ideas, supported by substantial quotations from scriptures and other texts. The overarching organizational principle is a historical narrative largely grounded in archaeological information. Historic places and persons are fleshed out as actors in a narrative about the relation of the sacred to ordinary existence as it is mediated through arts, sciences, rituals, and philosophical ideas. Although many books purport to introduce the Hindu tradition, this is the only one with a broad historical focus that emphasizes archaeological as well as textual evidence. It will nicely complement Vasuda Narayanan's forthcoming introduction, which takes the opposite approach of focusing on the lived experience of Hindu believers.

Book excerpt: "This book examines how public ritual once placed kings at the privileged apex of Nepal's government, and how in the 21st century those same rituals stopped serving the king and turned instead to authorize party-based politicians. Ritual upheaval undermined the institutional logic of monarchy, and demonstrated that kingship was contingent/dispensable"--
