Pages : 184
Book Description
‘The Ganges: Cultural, Economic, and Environmental Importance’ is a geographical, cultural, economic, and environmental interpretation of the Ganga River. The Ganga River originates from Gaumukh- situated in the high Himalaya, flows through the world’s biggest fertile alluvial plain, and inlets into the Bay of Bengal at Ganga Sagar. It makes a unique natural and cultural landscape and is believed to be the holiest river of India. The Hindus called it ‘Mother Ganga’ and worship it. The towns/cities, situated on its bank, are world-famous and are known as the highland and valley pilgrimages. The water of the Ganga is pious, and the Hindus use it on different occasions while performing the rituals and customs. This book is unique because no previous study which presents a complete and comprehensive geographical description of the Ganga has been composed.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
I cut the dead body like a butcher. Though the incisions were medically and forensically correct, they were merciless, fast and forceful. I made a Y shaped incision from the shoulders up to the pubis. I was in extreme hurry to take out, see and study the organs. I took out the organs… the heart, lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys. I saw them and studied them meticulously. I was with my girlfriend Namita, who was repeatedly asking me to leave the post-mortem section as it was not allowed for us, final year medical students but I did not listen to her. I was a final year MBBS student and it was not right to go to the post-mortem section and cut a human body but I was so curious I could not resist. It was hypomania! It was my bloody bipolar mind!

The Philosophy of Jñānadeva
Author: B. P. Bahirat
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publ.
ISBN: 9788120815742
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The Present work is devoted to the philosophical teachings of Jnanadeva the well-known 13h century saint and genius of Maharashtra in whom we find a rare combination of poetry, philosophy and deep religious experience. The author has based his work mainly on Jnanadeva`s Amrtanabhava, but he has also taken into consideration other works of Jnanadeva. He gives a clear and lucid exposition of Jnanadeva's theory of Chidvilasa, which is approached by him through an acute criticism of the theory of Avidya. He also shows how Jnanadeva's philosophy culminates in his conception of natural devotion and forms a firm foundation of the Bhakti-cult in Maharashtra. The views of Jnanadeva are also compared with those of Eastern and Western thinkers. This is the first attempt to present in English the Philosophy of Jnanadeva in a systematic form and to convey a clear vision of his lofty and integral idealism.
