Basic Principles of Indian Philosophy of Language |
$25.49 $19.12 |
|
| This book is a concordance of theories of Indian tradition. An analytic approach has been made on the theories available in Paninian, Nyaya-vaisesika, Purvamimamsa and Vedanta schools to show the consistency of the discourse made by traditional philosophers who claim themselves to be Astika or Vedacentric.
Attempts also have been made to establish that the traditional Indian theories of language are undoubtedly relevant for solving some problems raised in modern philosophy of language.... |

Classical Samkhya: An Interpretation of its History and Meaning |
$50.49 $37.87 |
|
| The tradition of Samkhya is one of the oldest and most influential in the intellectual history of India. The fundamental notions of Samkhya namely prakrti, purusa, buddhi, ahamkara, manas and the three gunas provided the conceptual framework in which much of Indian philosophizing occurred, and the classical formulations of Yoga and Vedanta together with many traditions of Buddhist philosophy and meditation developed vis-a-vis the intellectual perspective of the Samkhya. Similarly on a general... |

Defining Austerity |
$9.49 $7.12 |
|
| "A meditative indulgence" Austerity is shown as the hallmark of Hinduism and thus, rather unfairly, Hinduism is termed as ‘life negating’ or ‘life denying". Bhagavan Sankara in these five verses of ‘ Kaupina Pancakam’ draws a lucid pen portrait where we see the austerity more as a natural abandon or a choiceless choice rather that a rigorous religious discipline imperative for Self- Realisation. Elaborating on these verses, Swami Suddhananda shows... |

Discovering love, Successful living |
$11.49 $8.62 |

| The second volume of 'Public Talks' series of Swami Dayananda, first discusses about 'Discovering love'. Love is one of the most sought after and yet elusive thing for every human being.

One loves oneself, the self that is pleased. One also loves others who invoke the pleased self in him or her. This talk is about the... |

Encyclopaedia of Vedanta |
$192.49 $144.37 |
|
| For over a millennium, Sankara's Vedanta advaitism: nondualism, has been exposed to extensive discussion, debate, and even polemic. In modern times, it has often been viewed as a system of metaphysical thought, involving a set of several subtle, though interrelated, doctrines - which all have the Upanisads at their base. The book does not just present Vedanta as a system of metaphysical thought. It is essentially an off-beat effort seeking to philosophically analyse the concepts... |

| Contrary to the popular perception that Indian civilization has been largely concerned with the affairs of the spirit and "after-life". India's historical record suggests that some of the greatest Indian minds were much more concerned with developing philosophical paradigms that were grounded in reality. This book is an introduction to Vedic philosophy. It is introductory in two ways.First, it presupposes on the part of its readers, no prior acquaintance with the subject. It should be capable... |

| All too frequently the term Vedanta is used when what is meant ,whether recognized or not, is Advaita Vedanta and more specifically, the philosophical system associated with Sankaracarya. Yet in fact Vedanta, literally meaning “the concluding portions of the Veda” i.e ., the Upanisads, is properly used in Indian Philosophy to designate those systems that take such texts as the Upanisads authoritatively alongwith a few others such as the Brahmasutras, alternatively known as the... |
