Book excerpt: Why a book about Hindu Power, you may ask? Firstly, as I will explain at length all along, Hindu power is absolutely secular in essence, as Hindus have always accepted the diversity of the Divine and thus every persecuted religion found refuge in India, from the Jews to the Parsis, from the Armenians to the Tibetans today. Secondly, it has been a one-way traffic and Hindus have been at the receiving end of Islamic violence and Christian missionaries to convert them-and this is why Hindus MUST take power-and keep it. Thirdly, I am one of the few Western journalists and writers to defend Hindus because I think that they are the holders of the last Knowledge that can save the World: 'who am I, why live, what is death, what is an avatar, what is karma, what is dharma, ' etc.

Download or read book Offence written by Salil Tripathi and published by Seagull Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2009 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Indian nationalists have a great project in hand. Their work-in-progress is the recovery of India's proud past and it's rightful place at the centre of human civilization. In pursuit of this, history must be rewritten regardless of the facts and they will make sure the world acknowledges India's pre-eminence by direct action at home and abroad." "Claiming to take a leaf out of the Islamic book, they are no longer prepared to suffer insult, denigration or offence, past and present, in silence. And offence is found everywhere - in art galleries, schools and universities, books, films, music and online. Hindu nationalists have targeted all these, attacking art galleries and driving artists into exile, tearing down posters they consider obscene, demanding bans on books that don't conform to their version of history, vandalizing research institutes and threatening its academics, forcing film studios to change scripts or musicians to alter lyrics, destroying mosques and abusing Muslims. In the process,they have plunged India into chaos and alienated many sectors of this multicultural society. Most seriously, they threaten the secular India of its founding fathers." --Book Jacket.
Download or read book Contemporary Hinduism written by P. Pratap Kumar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most overviews of Hindu belief and practice follow a history from the ancient Vedas to today. Such approaches privilege Brahmanical traditions and create a sense of Hinduism as a homogenous system and culture, and one which is largely unchanging and based solely on sacred texts. In reality, modern Hindu faith and culture present an extraordinary range of dynamic beliefs and practices. 'Contemporary Hinduism' aims to capture the full breadth of the Hindu worldview as practised today, both in the sub-continent and the diaspora. Global and regional faith, ritualised and everyday practice, Brahmanical and non-Brahmanical belief, and ascetic and devotional traditions are all discussed. Throughout, the discussion is illustrated with detailed case material and images, whilst key terms are highlighted and explained in a glossary. 'Contemporary Hinduism' presents students with a lively and engaging survey of Hinduism, offering an introduction to the oldest and one of the most complex of world religions.
Download or read book Art Religion in the 21st Century written by Aaron Rosen and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh approach to the connection between art and religion that seeks to redefine their relationship in the contemporary age The relationship between art and religion has been long, complex, and often conflicted, and it has given rise to many of the greatest works in the history of art. Artists today continue to reflect seriously upon religious traditions, themes, and institutions, suggesting a new approach to spirituality that is more considered than confrontational. Art & Religion in the 21st Century is the first in-depth study to survey an international roster of artists who use their work to explore religion’s cultural, social, political, and psychological impact on today’s world. An introduction outlines the debates and controversies that the art/religion connection has precipitated throughout history. Each of the book’s ten chapters introduces a theme—ideas of the Creation, the figure of Jesus, the sublime, wonder, diaspora and exile, religious and political conflict, ritual practice, mourning and monumentalizing, and spiritual “dwelling” in the body and in space—followed by a selection of works of art that illustrates that theme. Artists discussed include Vanessa Beecroft, Maurizio Cattelan, Makoto Fujimura, David LaChapelle, Annette Messager, Jason Rhoades, Andres Serrano, and Zeng Fanzhi.

This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book penetrates the assumptions of Western technological society and exposes the powers that govern it. The contributors argue that it is a mistake to think that religion and belief have been relegated to the private sphere and are no longer important in the public and political domains. They assert that the twenty-first century has a set of new godsthe powers of globalization, technology, the market, and military mightthat reign alongside those of traditional religions. These are the forces to which the modern era has granted ultimacy. This book looks at how major religions such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism play an important role in politics and society on both the global and local levels. The new gods of technology, globalization, and war are shown to exacerbate the existing cultural divisions and religious strife that mark our time. By understanding the importance of that which is held sacred, whether traditional belief or modern practice not acknowledged as belief, the contributors help us to comprehend our present situation and challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maharshi Aurobindo believed that the 21st century is for the Hindus. Are the Hindus ready for that? Will they rise to the occasion?

Three great men have been mainly responsible for moulding the Hindu society in the byegone century, Ambedkar, Hedgewar and Gandhi. They can be definitely referred to as the MODERN HINDU TRINITY. - Ambedkar raised the standard of revolt against the many evils that had crept up in the Hindu society over a period of time and of which untouchability was the worst and most unpardonable sin. - Hedgewar diagnosed that the Hindu community of his time lacked vitality in the shape of unity. He advocated that once unity was restored in the Hindu community all its weakness will disappear and it will be ready to face all challenges, both internal and external. - Mahatma Gandhi made social reforms in the Hindu society an integral part of the freedom struggle which he led so very ably from 1920 upto the attainment of Freedom. Read this book to understand and appreciate the vital contributions made by these modern Brahma , Vishnu and Mahesh in making the Hindu community ready for its historic role in the current century. You will also be in a position to realise what part you have to play in making Maharshi Aurobindo’s prophecy a reality.

Download or read book Dalit Theology and Dalit Liberation written by Peniel Rajkumar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fulfilling the long-awaited need for a constructive and critical rethinking of Dalit theology this book offers and explores the synoptic healing stories as a relevant biblical paradigm for Dalit theology in order to help redress the lacuna between Dalit theology and the social practice of the Indian Church. Peniel Rajkumar's starting point is that the growing influence of Dalit theology in academic circles is incompatible with the praxis of the Indian Church which continues to be passive in its attitude towards the oppression of the Dalits both within and outside the Church. The theological reasons for this lacuna between Dalit theology and the Church's praxis, Rajkumar suggests, lie in the content of Dalit theology, especially the biblical paradigms explored, which do not offer adequate scope for engagement in praxis.
Download or read book The Future of Hindu Christian Studies written by Francis Clooney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Hindu-Christian studies revives theology as a particularly useful interreligious discipline. Though a sub-division of the broader Hindu-Christian dialogue, it is also a distinct field of study, proper to a smaller group of religious intellectuals. At its best it envisions a two-sided, mutual conversation, grounded in scholars’ knowledge of their own tradition and of the other. Based on the Westcott-Teape Lectures given in India and at the University of Cambridge, this book explores the possibilities and problems attendant upon the field of Hindu-Christian Studies, the reasons for occasional flourishing and decline in such studies, and the fragile conditions under which the field can flourish in the 21st century. The chapters examine key instances of Christian–Hindu learning, highlighting the Jesuit engagement with Hinduism, the modern Hindu reception of Western thought, and certain advances in the study of religion that enhance intellectual cooperation. This book is a significant contribution to a sophisticated understanding of Christianity and Hinduism in relation. It presents a robust defense of comparative theology and of Hindu-Christian Studies as a necessarily theological discipline. It will be of wide interest in the fields of Religious Studies, Theology, Christianity and Hindu Studies.
