Download or read book Siddhartha Annotated written by Herman Hesse and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is greatly disheartening that most of the publishers have published the image of Buddha on front cover of 'Siddhartha' which may mislead the readers. This book is not on Buddhism or on life and works of Gautam Buddha. The book starts and concludes with the basic Hindu Philosophy. Preface with a brief account of contemporary Indian social structure with principal aspects of Hinduism and Buddhism, in addition to an introduction to the Book and life of its author, are added to this edition.Siddhartha is the conscious living of each event of life with absolute immersion and understanding of their sequence of occurrences, their cycles and their consequential effects. The absolute feeling of each moment of the joy and sorrow with intense attachment and acceptance of all gifts of nature is essential to gain an approach to understanding of truth and attaining of enlightenment. The story tells that the intellectual methods and the carnal pleasures with the accompanying pain of world do not lead to the objective of ultimate salvation. It is only the completeness of all the experiences of joy and pain that allow one to attain understanding the purpose and meaning of his life. An individual event seems meaningless when considered by itself without taking all events as a whole. Siddhartha's stay with the ascetics who leave the routine life and renounce all pleasures of life to attain salvation, and his immersion in the worlds of love and business do not lead to nirvana (freedom from the cycle of birth and death and permanent merger in the light of God). All events in one's life are purposeful since every event, action and the consequence gives an experience which leads to understanding the purpose and meaning of life. The life is essential to sense and feel the creator and its creations and death is the end of all desires including that of achieving the enlightenment or salvation.When Hesse found himself troubled of his life without a direction and a purpose, he turned to the Indian philosophy in the ancient texts such as Upanishads (Up- sub or following, Nishad- the ferryman who takes across the river) and the Bhagavad Gita (simply Gita, pronounced as Geeta as in reed). The second half of this book took so long to write was for the reason that Hesse had not experienced that transcendental state of unity to which Siddhartha aspires. In an attempt to do so, Hesse lived as a virtual semi-recluse and became totally immersed in the sacred teachings of both Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. His intention was to attain that 'completeness' of Buddha. The novel is structured on three of the traditional stages of life for Hindu males (student (brahmacharin), householder (grihastha) and recluse/re-enunciate (vanaprastha) as well as the Buddha's four noble truths in Part One and eight-fold path in Part Two, divided in twelve chapters. Ralph Freedman mentions how Hesse commented in a letter "Siddhartha does not, in the end, learn true wisdom from any teacher, but from a river that roars in a funny way and from a kindly old fool who always smiles and is secretly a saint." In a lecture about Siddhartha, Hesse claimed "Buddha's way to salvation has often been criticized and doubted, because it is thought to be wholly grounded in cognition. True, but it's not just intellectual cognition, not just learning and knowing, but spiritual experience that can be earned only through strict discipline in a selfless life". Freedman also points out how Siddhartha described Hesse's interior dialectic: "All of the contrasting poles of his life were sharply etched: the restless departures and the search for stillness at home; the diversity of experience and the harmony of a unifying spirit; the security of religious dogma and the anxiety of freedom." Eberhard Ostermann has shown how Hesse, while mixing the religious genre of the legend with that of the modern novel, seeks to reconcile with the double-edged effects of modernization

Download or read book Gujarat the Making of a Tragedy written by Siddharth Varadarajan and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2002 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Gujarat a turning point for India? The events at Godhra and the ensuing communal carnage in Gujarat, like the Babri Masjid demolition and the 1984 massacres, constitute an ugly chapter of our contemporary history. For the sheer brutality, persistence and widespread nature of the violence, especially against women and children, the complicity of the State, the ghettoization of communities, and the indifference of civil society, Gujarat has surpassed anything we have experienced in recent times. That this happened in one of India's most 'well off' and 'progressive' states, the home of the Mahatma, is all the more alarming. This book is intended to be a permanent public archive of the tragedy that is Gujarat. Drawing upon eyewitness reports from the English, Hindi and regional media, citizens' and official fact-finding commissions - and articles by leading public figures and intellectuals - it provides a chilling account of how and why the state was allowed to burn. With an overview by the editor, the reader covers the circumstances leading up to Godhra and the violence in Ahmedabad, Baroda and rural Gujarat. Separate sections deal with the role of the police, bureaucracy, Sangh Parivar, media and the tribals, the economic and international implications of the violence, the problems of relief and rehabilitation of the victims, and, above all, their quest for justice. The picture that emerges is deeply disturbing, for Gujarat has exposed the ease with which the rights of citizens, and especially minorities, can be violated with official sanction. The lessons of the violence ought to be heeded and acted upon by the public. For, in the absence of this, can another Gujarat be prevented from happening elsewhere?

Download or read book Advanced Machine Vision Paradigms for Medical Image Analysis written by Tapan K. Gandhi and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer vision and machine intelligence paradigms are prominent in the domain of medical image applications, including computer assisted diagnosis, image guided radiation therapy, landmark detection, imaging genomics, and brain connectomics. Medical image analysis and understanding are daunting tasks owing to the massive influx of multi-modal medical image data generated during routine clinal practice. Advanced computer vision and machine intelligence approaches have been employed in recent years in the field of image processing and computer vision. However, due to the unstructured nature of medical imaging data and the volume of data produced during routine clinical processes, the applicability of these meta-heuristic algorithms remains to be investigated. Advanced Machine Vision Paradigms for Medical Image Analysis presents an overview of how medical imaging data can be analyzed to provide better diagnosis and treatment of disease. Computer vision techniques can explore texture, shape, contour and prior knowledge along with contextual information, from image sequence and 3D/4D information which helps with better human understanding. Many powerful tools have been developed through image segmentation, machine learning, pattern classification, tracking, and reconstruction to surface much needed quantitative information not easily available through the analysis of trained human specialists. The aim of the book is for medical imaging professionals to acquire and interpret the data, and for computer vision professionals to learn how to provide enhanced medical information by using computer vision techniques. The ultimate objective is to benefit patients without adding to already high healthcare costs. Explores major emerging trends in technology which are supporting the current advancement of medical image analysis with the help of computational intelligence Highlights the advancement of conventional approaches in the field of medical image processing Investigates novel techniques and reviews the state-of-the-art in the areas of machine learning, computer vision, soft computing techniques, as well as their applications in medical image analysis
