Download or read book In Dialogue with Classical Indian Traditions written by Brian Black and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogue is a recurring and significant component of Indian religious and philosophical literature. Whether it be as a narrative account of a conversation between characters within a text, as an implied response or provocation towards an interlocutor outside the text, or as a hermeneutical lens through which commentators and modern audiences can engage with an ancient text, dialogue features prominently in many of the most foundational sources from classical India. Despite its ubiquity, there are very few studies that explore this important facet of Indian texts. This book redresses this imbalance by undertaking a close textual analysis of a range of religious and philosophical literature to highlight the many uses and functions of dialogue in the sources themselves and in subsequent interpretations. Using the themes of encounter, transformation and interpretation – all of which emerged from face-to-face discussions between the contributors of this volume – each chapter explores dialogue in its own context, thereby demonstrating the variety and pervasiveness of dialogue in different genres of the textual tradition. This is a rich and detailed study that offers a fresh and timely perspective on many of the most well-known and influential sources from classical India. As such, it will be of great use to scholars of religious studies, Asian studies, comparative literature and literary theory.

This book was released on 1972-12-31 with total page 1403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Srimad-Bhagavatam, an epic philosophical and literary classic, holds a prominent position in India's voluminous written wisdom. The timeless wisdom of India is expressed in the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts that touches upon all fields of human knowledge. Originally preserved through oral tradition, the Vedas were first put into writing by Srila Vyasadeva, the "literary incarnation of God." After compiling the Vedas, Srila Vyasadeva was inspired by his spiritual master to present their profound essence in the form of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Known as "the ripened fruit of the tree of Vedic literature," Srimad-Bhagavatam is the most complete and authoritative exposition of Vedic knowledge. After writing the Bhagavatam, Vyasa taught it to his son, Shukadeva Goswami, who later spoke the Bhagavatam to Maharaja Parikshit in an assembly of sages on the bank of the sacred Ganges River. Although Maharaja Parikshit was a great rajarshi (saintly king) and the emperor of the world, when he received notice of his death seven days in advance, he renounced his entire kingdom and retired to the bank of the Ganges to seek spiritual enlightenment. The questions of King Parikshit and Shukadeva Goswami's illuminating answers, concerning everything from the nature of the self to the origin of the universe, are the basis of Srimad-Bhagavatam. This edition of Bhagavatam is the only complete English translation with an elaborate and scholarly commentary, and it is the first edition widely available to the English-reading public. This work is the product of the scholarly and devotional effort of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the world's most distinguished teacher of Indian religious and philosophical thought. His Sanskrit scholarship and intimate familiarity with Vedic culture combine to reveal to the West a magnificent exposition of this important classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grandma in the Board Room (GIBR) is a gripping corporate saga of a current-day IT company, EmergePro, in the crucial years between the Chennai floods to the COVID19 lockdown. Emerge Pro is about to make a pathbreaking announcement. The protagonist of the story Krishna Prasad (KP), after a successful stint as its CEO, steering EmergePro from decline to unimaginable growth within a span of five years, is the architect of this surprise move. The story begins with an employee get-together, where the suspense is to be broken with an announcement by the founder. It weaves through the memory shares of the past five years of the stakeholders in this growth story. KP, an outsider CEO recruited before Chennai floods, has to find his way through the maze of corporate relationships and win the support of a diverse and disinclined leadership team. The journey winds through diverse ethnicity and leadership styles – weak leader Ananth Ram, indifferent Subendu Das, intimidatingly aggressive Suhas Ratnam, caring MD Rengarajan, faithful Neha Khosla, naïve and enthusiastic Krithika, talented but not-so-confident Ashok Kumar, ever-grateful Swetha Prakash, etc. – a complex intertwined spaghetti of minds. KP has to carefully use his fork without breaking the links. How the wisdom of the stories KP had learned in his childhood from his grandma helps him overcome the challenges faced by him is a great learning and a great read as well.
