Download or read book Veerashaivism Virasaivism Scripture Philosophy Religious Practice and Other Aspects written by Linga Raju and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-02-22 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veerashaiva philosophy and practices existed prior to the reformation by the twelfth century Philosophers. The present day Veerashaivas are the followers of the philosophy and practices put forward by those Philosophers. In the twelfth century of Common Era, religion itself had deteriorated into another means of exploitation, perpetuating social inequality and ignorance of spiritual truth. Basavanna plunged into a movement to reform Veerashaivism from within. His efforts were mostly oriented in two directions - religion and society - and perhaps towards a closer approximation of the two. He saw no difference between rich and poor, and between man and woman; he saw no difference among different castes; and he embedded this principle of equality among all in the religion. He established an academy called Anubhava Mantapa where a large number of philosophers, mystics, scholars and seekers coming from all parts of the Indian subcontinent, would gather to participate in learned discussions on the highest ends of life. The philosophy and practices of this new religious faith have been documented in the vachanas. The vachana literature of Basavanna and his contemporary philosophers is the basic scripture. In the 15th century Veerashaiva scholars systematically collected the retrievable portions of the vachana literature, and compiled some of these vachanas into the form of a scripture known as Shunya Sampadane. The discourses at the Anubhava Mantapa that are narrated in the Shunya Sampadane have been incorporated into some of the articles in this book. These discourses, I believe, will give finer details of the philosophical aspects of Veerashaivism. Also the articles in this book have been presented in some sort of an order - Scripture, Philosophy, Practice, and other aspects of Veerashaivism. This type of presentation of the updated concepts of Veerashaivism, I believe, will enhance readability of this book.

Book excerpt: India prides itself in a rich tradition of diversity, dialogue and debate. Our democracy draws its sustenance from this tradition. Myths, texts and systems of faith and thought have been cherished, revisited and also challenged. They have often inspired imaginative versions through oral retellings and local adaptations. The dynamism of Indian culture has kept it open to influences and has stood the test of time. In Words Matter, edited by eminent poet and scholar K. Satchidanandan, scholars and writers including Romila Thapar, Githa Hariharan, Pankaj Mishra, Salil Tripathi and Ananya Vajpeyi discuss these definitive values from various points of view. The contributors argue that we must nurture critical thinking to fight all kinds of discrimination and insularity. It lies in our interest as a modern nation to preserve our cultural strength and help democracy flourish.

Book excerpt: "When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say." - Bertrand Russell Is Hinduism a religion?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mahadeviyakka, or Akkamahadevi was bom at Udutadi a village not far from Shimoga, which was then the capital ofking Kausika. Her parents were named Sumati and Nirmalay' Akkamahadevi herself seems to have had her initiation in early childhood and the impress of the seal of Grace must have been strong on her, for she was from that moment a dedicated child. Beautiful as she was in person (traditional biographers, in their charming old way, describe her as a Rudrakannike). She was more beautiful in mind and heart. So firm was her conviction of being already wedded to her lord Mallikaijuna, that at the age of eighteen, in a country, at a time noted for early marriages, she was still single. The turning-point in her life came when king Kausika, returning from a hunt, saw her among the crowd that had been drawn by the din and splendour ofthe cavalcade, and on the instant fell captive to her beauty.
