Download or read book The Literary Life of Yājñavalkya written by Steven E. Lindquist and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating study, Steven E. Lindquist investigates the intersections between historical context and literary production in the "life" of Yājñavalkya, the most important ancient Indian literary figure prior to the Buddha. Known for his sharp tongue and deep thought, Yājñavalkya is associated with a number of "firsts" in Indian religious literary history: the first person to discuss brahman and ātman thoroughly; the first to put forth a theory of karma and reincarnation; the first to renounce his household life; and the first to dispute with women in religious debate. Throughout early Indian history, he was seen as a priestly bearer of ritual authority, a sage of mystical knowledge, and an innovative propagator of philosophical ideas and religious law. Drawing on history, literary studies, ritual studies, Sanskrit philology, narrative studies, and philosophy, Lindquist traces Yājñavalkya’s literary life—from his earliest mentions in ritual texts, through his developing biography in the Upaniṣads, and finally to his role as a hoary sage in narrative literature—offering the first detailed monograph on this central figure in early Indian religious and literary history.

Book Synopsis Language, Texts, and Society by : Patrick Olivelle
Download or read book Language, Texts, and Society written by Patrick Olivelle and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together the research papers of Patrick Olivelle, published over a period of about ten years. The unifying theme of these studies is the search for historical context and developments hidden within words and texts. Words - and the cultural history represented by words - that scholars often take for granted as having a continuous and long history are often new and even neologisms, and thus provide important clues to cultural and religious innovations. Olivelle's book on the Asramas, as well as the short pieces included in this volume, such as those on ananda and dharma, seek to see cultural innovation and historical changes within the changing semantic fields of key terms. Closer examination of numerous Sanskrit terms taken for granted as central to 'Hinduism' provide similar results. Indian texts have often been studied in the past as disincarnate realities providing information on an ahistorical and unchanging culture. This volume is a small contribution towards correcting that method of textual study.

In presenting this unique model, Sampat P Singh addresses some key issues including: /-/ - how leadership must be understood in a holistic perspective/-/ - the much needed change in management education for developing mindsets for leadership/-/ - how entrenched mindsets must be deprogrammed for human resource development in organizations/-/ - the concept of Enlightened Leadership derived out of ancient Indian texts, modern theory and examples from the world of business/-/ - the differences between the roles of a leader and a manager

Book Synopsis I Am Proud to be a Hindu by : J. Agarwal
Download or read book I Am Proud to be a Hindu written by J. Agarwal and published by Pustak Mahal. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hindu Dharma is the oldest living religion in the world. It is the eternal religion which is evergreen and perfect. Its origin goes back to the earliest of times when man first needed a way of life to conduct himself in the society. A person who always conducts himself with dignity and self-confidence in the society is called a Hindu. the sacred Hindu Scriptures describe a Hindu as the one who carries out his sublime duties and who moves on the right path of the highest state of mental peace leading to the state of Bliss. Hindu Dharma has always remained an enigma in the minds of the people living in the West. Even the Hindus living in the distant shores have long since lost touch with the true essence of the Satya Sanatan Vedic Hindu Dharma. Today, the young modern generation of Hindus is puzzled and is seeking roots to their culture. With an inquisitive mind, they would like to ask many questions about Hindu Dharma. It intrigues them to find out as to - Who is a Hindu? What is Hindu Dharma? Why should a Hindu be proud of being a Hindu? Who is God? Where does God live? What He does and why is it necessary to worship God? This book is an answer to all these quetions.

Book Synopsis A Treatise on Dharma by : Y_javalkya
Download or read book A Treatise on Dharma written by Y_javalkya and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Treatise on Dharma, written in the fourth or fifth century, is the finest example of the genre of dharma__stra--texts on religious, civil, and criminal law and the duties of rulers--that informed Indian life for a thousand years. It illuminates major cultural innovations, such as the prominence of documents in commercial and legal proceedings, the use of ordeals in resolving disputes, and the growing importance of yoga in spiritual practices. Composed by an anonymous author during the reign of the imperial Guptas, the Treatise is ascribed to the Upanishadic philosopher Yajnavalkya, whose instruction of a group of sages serves as the frame narrative for the work. It became the most influential legal text in medieval India, and a twelfth-century interpretation came to be considered "the law of the land" under British rule. This translation of A Treatise on Dharma, based on a new critical edition and presented alongside the Sanskrit original in the Devanagari script, opens the classical age of ancient Indian law to modern readers.
