Book Description
The Puranic Asuras are “Fallen Egos” incarnated in human forms. They are the ever-present Spark of Divinity in Man, now recast as “Fallen Angels” in the exuberance of Christian fancy. The serpent is the most ancient symbol because the reptile preceded the bird, and the bird the mammal. It was honoured by the Gnostic Ophites because he taught primeval men the Mysteries of Cosmos and Man. Serpent and Dragon were some of the names given to the “Wise Ones,” the initiated Adepts of olden times. On the lowest plane of materiality, the Serpent was adopted as a type of feminine pubescence, on account of its sloughing and self-renewal. The cow is the daughter of the first desires, she whom sages named Vach-Viraj, and who was milked by Rishi Brihaspati (Jupiter). Her milk is the Milk of Wisdom; her tail, the thread of Wisdom that unites us to our Higher Self.

Science in Saffron
Author: Meera Nanda
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789383968084
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
There is much talk of the glories of ancient Hindu sciences in India today. Landmark discoveries in every field of science, from mathematics to medicine, are being credited to ancient scientists-sages of India. This book places such priority claims in a comparative global history of science. While fully acknowledging the substantial contributions of Indian geometers, mathematicians, physicians, artisans and craftsmen, it challenges their glorification for nationalistic purposes. It also questions the neo-Hindu scientization of yoga and Vedanta pioneered by Swami Vivekananda. Backed by the best available scholarship on history of science, this book offers a reading of history of Indian science without the hype that has come to surround it.

Deconstructing Derrida
Author: M. Peters
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1403980640
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Responding to Jacques Derrida's vision for what a 'new' humanities should strive toward, Peter Trifonas and Michael Peters gather together in a single volume original essays by major scholars in the humanities today. Using Derrida's seven programmatic theses as a springboard, the contributors aim to reimagine, as Derrida did, the tasks for the new humanities in such areas as history of literature, history of democracy, history of profession, idea of sovereignty, and history of man. Deconstructing Derrida engages Jacques Derrida's polemic on the future of the humanities to come and expands on the notion of what us proper to the humanities in the current age of globalism and change.
