Sri Aurobindo |
Homer and the Iliad - Sri Aurobindo |
$9.99 $7.49 |
Temporarily Out of Stock |
| This monograph briefly introduces two major epic poems about the famous Trojan war.
The Iliad was written by Homer a few centuries after the siege of Troy. In the 20th century, more than two millenia later, Sri Aurobindo, the great seer and poet of modern India, wrote Ilion.
In both epics the main quality abundantly displayed is heroism but seeds of the other qualities can be seen. |

The Saraswati Flows On: The Continuity of Indian Culture |
$80.49 $60.37 |
|
| This book deals with two major controversies relating to India's past. First, It has been asserted by many scholars, both Indian and foreign, that the Sarasvati mentioned in the Rigveda is the Helmand of Afghanistan. The author examines the entire Rigvedic evidence and demonstrates that it goes counter to aforesaid assumption.
On the other hand, there are compelling geographical data in the Rigveda itself which unambiguously show that the Rigvedic Sarasvati is none other than the present-day... |
