Download or read book Texts in Context written by Jeffrey R. Timm and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major religious traditions of South Asia are religions of the book. All accept basic arrays of texts of scriptures, often seen as sacred reservoirs of meaning and power. The West has viewed these texts as bibles of their respective traditions, projecting onto them Western values and concerns. This book challenges such misconceptions by revealing the complex character of scripture and its interpretation in South Asian religions. Texts in Context explores the hermeneutical traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and Sikhism. The question of how we should understand the diversity of text-traditions is approached by asking How have traditional thinkers the exegetes within these traditions understood and utilized scripture? The answers, though remarkably diverse, do reveal important similarities and take the discussion of scripture in India to a deeper level. This book makes accessible to the non-specialist sensibilities and approaches that have previously received little attention in the West, but have formed the basis for traditional efforts to understand and utilize scripture. It is a collaboration between contemporary thinkers and their traditional counterparts, whose voices emerge as they consider the sacred words of the religious traditions of South Asia.

Download or read book The Upanishads Demystified written by Ved Prakash Bhatia and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Upanishads are a great mine of strength for leading a tension-free and peaceful life. Today, most of us feel a lot of turmoil and tensions due to an overemphasis by leading a materialistic style of living. Meditation (Upasana) and looking into our pure consciousness and the Divine sitting inside us, has been forgotten altogether. Hence, the need for 'going back to Upanishads' has become quite relevant to be imbibed. There is also a growing urge in us to realize your 'true self,'' keenly feeling the need to make our knowledge flow into wisdom, and a yearning to know about the infinite and the eternal inspires us. The Upanishads form the core of Indian philosophy - a fantastic collection of writings, aptly described by Shri Aurobindo as "the supreme work of the Indian mind". The Upanishads are summits of thought on humanity and the universe. The Upanishads asks a man to cultivate righteousness (dharma) and to enjoy wealth (artha) and seek pleasures (kama), but with a sense of detachment. Meditation on OM and enquiry into our inner divine Self are some of the essentials of the Upanisads. Eleven Major Upanisads have been covered by Mr. Ved Bhatia in a lucid easy comprehensible style.

Download or read book Beyond Common Sense written by Dr Satinder Singh Malik and published by Satinder Singh Malik. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human sensors collect the information from environment and our body. Intellect dwells upon the obvious looking information and extracts, out of ordinary inferences. The joy lies in knowing. The art of knowing from routine information is called common sense. In Sanskrit, common sense is known as ‘Vivek’. It arises from thought when intellect dwells upon the information for a slightly longer period than routine. The intellect will dwell upon such information when it is used to, when the mind is relatively free and not overburdened by sense pursuits. What lies beyond common sense is the treasure of unmeasured potential. Sixth sense is a sense which connects human cognitive complex to the dimension of consciousness and it is known as Pragyan in Sanskrit. Pragyan is Intuition. The root word for intuition is Latin ‘intueri’ meaning in to you. Intuition has spiritual roots which lie in the dimension of consciousness. In the forthcoming chapters in this book, a perspective of background environment is provided. Science gives too specific but overall sketchy information about the complete picture whereas Philosophy does a better job on this. Philosophy is also based on logic and reason but there is no need to establish proof in a laboratory and its scope is vast. To complete our lifetimes, we cannot await Science to buildup the complete picture and use that to carve a path for our lives. Some key questions have been answered as to how this universe came in to being? Big Bang theory assumed a primeval atom, and the source of this atom remained unresolved. Astronomers keep getting baffled after detecting matter in universe older than itself. A summary of the applicable dimensions has been proposed along with nature of various dimensions. Time is a substance which flows like a wave. Origin of human life and presence of distinctive racial features has been explored. Common information as to why there are 12 hours in a day or seven days in a week is also important steps in human understanding of life on this planet. A unique link between astronomy and astrology has been established by replenishing the information which went missing down the ages. A chapter on how to enhance the sixth sense is a practical guide which is simple and easy to follow. This information is not freely available in a concise and logical manner. Evolved human society has the potential to change the course of life on a planet. The change starts with us and we have to accept the challenge of enhancing our sixth sense to connect to a dimension of consciousness and fulfill the life’s goals.

Download or read book Essential Difference written by James Blachowicz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2015 John N. Findlay Award in Metaphysics presented by the Metaphysical Society of America Is metaphysics possible? This book argues that the greatest threat to its viability derives from a self-destructive formalism. If what is essential to the nature of physical entities are the properties they have in common (as formalism holds), the inevitable result will be a reductionist collapse—leaving only "being" or physical "matter" or some other underlying ground. In Essential Difference, James Blachowicz first constructs a one-to-one historical parallel between the modern crisis surrounding formalism (Hume/Kant/Hegel) and the ancient version (Parmenides/Plato/Aristotle), focusing on the principles of differentiation and individuation that underlie Aristotle's and Hegel's antireductionist programs. He then proposes a contemporary metaphysical theory of emergence in the context of recent philosophy of science. This theory, founded on the principle of the nonderivability of actual states from possible states, holds that the differences among physical, biological, and mental phenomena are essential to any metaphysics. Essential Difference is the only focused treatment of this problem and is itself essential for any understanding of the nature of metaphysics.
