This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Leading Ideas of Hinduism: Being the Thirty-Second Fernley Lecture Delivered in Manchester, August, 1902 Vllwill make demand on their best intelligence and their most patient enthusiasm. Missionary success in the West - in West Africa and the West Indies - was swift and ex citing; but it is afar cry from there to India. It is a change from simplicity to complexity, from animalism and the lower forms of emotionalism to the environment of the subtlest forms of philosophy, from the crudest and most fluid social organisation to the most elaborate and the most rigid. Changed conditions require changed methods. The people of India must not be expected in an hour to shed the assumptions of a lifetime inherited from centuries, as a snake sheds its skin. Casual, rapid, emotional work can afford no hope of wide and worthy success among the Hindus. Head and heart both are required for the great enterprise in India, and the former as much as the latter. It will be a great gain when the churches of this land have made this plain to themselves, and planned their campaign suitably to the special character of their enterprise. I do not claim any originality for this volume. I cannot trace all my obligations. The reading of many years has entered into me, and found confirmation and illustration in long intercourse among the people of India. I would here make acknowledgment of much indebtedness which I am unable more particularly to specify. I have had the great advantage of reading two recent volumes by brother missionaries in South India, and to these I have again and again been indebted. One is a small volume.

Download or read book Unifying Hinduism written by Andrew J. Nicholson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some postcolonial theorists argue that the idea of a single system of belief known as "Hinduism" is a creation of nineteenth-century British imperialists. Andrew J. Nicholson introduces another perspective: although a unified Hindu identity is not as ancient as some Hindus claim, it has its roots in innovations within South Asian philosophy from the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries. During this time, thinkers treated the philosophies of Vedanta, Samkhya, and Yoga, along with the worshippers of Visnu, Siva, and Sakti, as belonging to a single system of belief and practice. Instead of seeing such groups as separate and contradictory, they re-envisioned them as separate rivers leading to the ocean of Brahman, the ultimate reality. Drawing on the writings of philosophers from late medieval and early modern traditions, including Vijnanabhiksu, Madhava, and Madhusudana Sarasvati, Nicholson shows how influential thinkers portrayed Vedanta philosophy as the ultimate unifier of diverse belief systems. This project paved the way for the work of later Hindu reformers, such as Vivekananda, Radhakrishnan, and Gandhi, whose teachings promoted the notion that all world religions belong to a single spiritual unity. In his study, Nicholson also critiques the way in which Eurocentric concepts—like monism and dualism, idealism and realism, theism and atheism, and orthodoxy and heterodoxy—have come to dominate modern discourses on Indian philosophy.

Download or read book Scientific Bases of Hindu Beliefs written by Dr. Bhojraj Dwivedi and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanatan Hindu Dharma is like a huge tree. Different kinds of assumptions have, merged into it from time immemorial. As human population grew and time changed, beliefs and faiths changed as a result of continuous thinking of scholars and growing maturity in their ideas. As a consequence,? the branches and sub-branches of Hindu religion also grew. Is there any scientific basis of beliefs and faiths propagated in Hinduism? This question agitates the minds of intellectual readers again and again. Now, that time has come to an end, when you cited from the religious scriptures and said, ?Babaÿvakyaÿpramanam? (here is the statement from the author as evidence). Comprehensive thinking about religious beliefs has become the most essential call of the age today. First of all, the average reader has to understand what is science. The word ?vigyan (science) is formed by prefixing ?vi to ?gyan? (knowledge). ?Vishishta gyanam iti vigyanam, ?Vishesh gyanam iti vigyanam?, ?Vishuddha gyanam iti vigyanam (Specific knowledge is science, Special knowledge is science, Pure knowledge is science), these definitions are clear in themselves. Science, in fact, is based upon cause and effect relationship. ?Karya karan sarnbandh iti vigyanam?, ?punah punah parikshanam prayoganch kritam? (Science is cause and effect relationship. Experiment is made again and again). Where we come to know the cause and effect relationship, then that knowledge automatically passes into the category of science. True knowledge of an object, based on facts, is a part of science itself. ?Punah punah nirikshit gyanam iti vigyanam,? When the results are the same on repeated observations, then those facts become science. Ancient Rishis-Munis (seers and saints) formed some rules and principles under the cover of religion to civilize humanity. They offered the charms of heaven and fears of hell, so that, men adopted them in their conduct. Today, in the age of computer, no one accepts heaven or hell, piety or sin, religion or irreligion. It is a transition period. Innumerable questions are cropping up in the minds of the intellectuals. To clarify the scientific basis of Hindu beliefs has become a need of the day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Leading Ideas of Hinduism: Being the Thirty-Second Fernley Lecture Delivered in Manchester, August, 1902 The Fernley Lecture as delivered in Manchester last year was the barest outline of what is contained in the present volume. I undertook the delivery of it at that time to meet an emergency, and had to make what preparation I could while greatly pressed by other and more immediate duties. It was a condition of my undertaking the task at all then that the publication of the Lecture should follow at some later period. To the Trustees of the Fernley Board I am greatly obliged for the indulgence which has been so patiently extended to me. The subjects treated in this volume are, some of them, difficult, and they do not lend themselves readily be popular exposition. Yet that is what I have here attempted. I have desired to help the people of England to realise to themselves, as far as may be, the religious and philosophical standpoint of many of the people of India, and I have tried to do this in language as little technical as possible.
