Indic aspects are dialectically somewhat mixed. Most strikingly, however, BHS

A Dictionary of Hinduism |
$25.49 $17.84 |
|
| Hinduism, one of the great religions of the world, is the major religion of India, where nearly 85 percent of the population is classified as Hindu. Hinduism has developed over about 4,000 years and has no single founder or creed; rather, it consists of a vast variety of beliefs and practices. In its diversity, Hinduism hardly fits most Western definitions of religion; rather, it suggests commitment to or respect for an ideal way of life, known as dharma.

The Sanskrit Language |
$14.49 $10.14 |
|
| The Sanskrit Language by P S Filliozat has the rare distinction of being both an introductory book and a new ground-breaking study. It is an introductory book because the reader gets an accurate overview of the language, and it is also a new ground-breaking study because Filliozat’s approach harmonizes two different and complementary stands that often have been at war: the Western historical and comparative approach and the indigenous pundit tradition. Sanskrit is described here from these two... |

From Indus to Sanskrit (Vol I) |
$6.49 $4.54 |
|
| This is the first real attempt to decipher the Indus script. In this first part, nearly twenty lines of the texts have been deciphered and interpreted after a full discussion about the type of the Indus language and its relation with Sanskrit. The Indus language belongs to the so called agglutinative type consisting mostly of monosyllabic words. After a stupendously long history of ups and downs, only faintly known to the Vedic seer Dirghatamas, it evolved as accented inflexional Sanskrit,... |
