Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions
Author: Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520377966
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
Karma is perhaps the most famous concept in Indian philosophy, but this is the first comprehensive study of its various meanings and philosophical implications. Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions offers a harmony of approach and an underlying set of methodological assumptions: a corpus of definitions of karma, a dialectic between abstract theory and historical explanation, and an awareness of logical oppositions in theories of karma. No “solution” to the paradox of karma is offered, but the volume as a whole presents a consistent and encompassing approach to the many different, often conflicting, Indian statements of the problem. Broad in scope and richly detailed, this book demonstrates the impossibility of speaking of “the theory of karma” and supplies the basis for further study. Exploring methodological issues arising in the study of a non-Western system of soteriology and rebirth, the contributors question the interaction of medical and philosophical models of the human body, the incorporation of philosophical theories into practical religions with which they are logically incompatible, and the problem of historical reconstruction of a complex theory of human life. This title is part of UC Press’s Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1980.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
Over the course of life, many people become puzzled by circumstances beyond their control – both their own and those of others. It is only natural to wonder, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” While investigating, if one encounters the principle of karma, one may still be left asking, “What does karma mean, and how exactly does it work?” In the book “The Science of Karma”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan explains the meaning of karma according to spiritual science. Dadashri offers in-depth answers to questions such as: “What is the law of karma, and how can I master it?”, “What is destiny, and does destiny relate to karma?”, “Is it your destiny to forever face karmic lessons?”, “Can spiritual enlightenment liberate one from karma?” Dadashri offers a precise karma definition, and then continues on to explain that the knowledge of Self is the beginning of true spiritual development. From spiritual awakening, and from understanding the law of karma, one learns how to get inner peace within the problems in everyday life. For those wondering how to live in peace in the midst of life’s challenges, this book is an invaluable resource.

Karma Wisdom for Conscious Living
Author: Loryan wenny
Publisher: Loryan wenny
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Since the beginning of human civilization, there has been a search to make sense of life and discover deeper truths about our existence. A question that has captivated spiritual seekers, philosophers, and ordinary people trying to understand life's ups and downs Is: What invisible forces or universal laws might influence the unfolding of events, the patterns In our lives, the good fortune we receive or harsh knocks that come our way? Over millennia, the concept of karma has emerged in Indian, Buddhist and East Asian schools of philosophy as a law of moral causation that can help provide answers. The word karma has Its roots in ancient Sanskrit and Pali languages. It translates as "action" or "deed", but more broadly signifies the entire cycle of causation that governs existence. Simply put, karma links intentional actions to future results. It Is a natural law of cause and effect, the repercussions of thoughts, words and actions that sent out ripples into the Interconnected cosmic fabric of creation. Karma draws connections between actions in the past, present realities, and possibilities for the future. So this vast concept provides a framework for making sense of life's apparent disparities and inequalities. Why do some people face more misfortune than fortune? What leads to differences In talents, character, circumstances people are born into, even the length of their lives?

Status and Sacredness
Author: Murray Milner Jr.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195359127
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Status and Sacredness provides a new theory of status and sacral relationships and a provocative reinterpretation of the Indian caste system and Hinduism. Milner shows how in India and many other social contexts status is a key resource, and that sacredness can be usefully understood as a special form of status. By analyzing the nature of this resource Milner is able to provide powerful explanations of the key features of the social structure, culture, and religion. He argues against the widely held view that the Indian caste system is best understood as a unique cultural development, demonstrating that many of the seemingly exotic features are variations on themes common to other societies. Milner's analysis is rooted in a new theoretical framework called "resource structuralism" that helps to clarify the nature and significance of power and symbolic capital. The book thus provides a bold new analysis of India, an innovative approach to the analysis of religion, and an important contribution to social theory.

Maithil Women's Tales
Author: Coralynn V. Davis
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252096304
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Constrained by traditions restricting their movements and speech, the Maithil women of Nepal and India have long explored individual and collective life experiences by sharing stories with one another. Sometimes fantastical, sometimes including a kind of magical realism, these tales allow women to build community through a deeply personal and always evolving storytelling form. In Maithil Women’s Tales, Coralynn V. Davis examines how these storytellers weave together their own life experiences--the hardships and the pleasures--with age-old themes. In so doing, Davis demonstrates, they harness folk traditions to grapple personally as well as collectively with social values, behavioral mores, relationships, and cosmological questions. Each chapter includes stories and excerpts that reveal Maithil women’s gift for rich language, layered plots, and stunning allegory. In addition, Davis provides ethnographic and personal information that reveal the complexity of women’s own lives, and includes works painted by Maithil storytellers to illustrate their tales. The result is a fascinating study of being and becoming that will resonate for readers in women’s and Hindu studies, folklore, and anthropology.
