Mysticism in India
Author: Ramchandra Dattatraya Ranade
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780873956697
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
Mysticism in India is a complete and informative description of the teachings, works, and lives of the great poet-saints of Maharashtra written by a scholar and professor who was also a mystic. Jnaneshwar, Namadev, Tukaram, Eknath, Ramdas, and the other saints discussed belonged to the great devotional religious movement that spread through medieval India. With the exception of Ramdas, they all belonged to the tradition of the Varkaris, the most popular sect in contemporary Maharashtra. Their compositions exemplify the universality of their faith and practice, and are recognized as literary treasures. Ranade was primarily interested in the poet-saints as mystics--teachers of the perennial philosophy--whose experiences have general metaphysical and religious implications. At the heart of his classic is a comprehensive, objective presentation of the thought of these saints, augmented by a deep appreciation of their value and relevance to present-day scholars and seekers. Mysticism in India is the only major study in English of medieval Indian religious literature. The book's enduring value has been enhanced by the addition of a foreword by a scholar currently working in Marathi literature, and a preface by a present-day poet-saint of Maharashtra.

Twelve World Religions
Author: K. Ravindran
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
With the proliferating electronic media platforms of social networking sites and the spread of false/doctored news, many lay people get wrong notions on religions/faiths. This leads to religious rivalries, mutual suspicions, hate speeches and increasing religious intolerance, leading to violence taking root in certain areas of the world. It is therefore quite essential for lay people to be familiar with the basic essence and congruence of religions. Twelve World Religions is an attempt to educate the lay public about this. It gives a kaleidoscopic view of the 12 major religions of the world in a structured, uniform pattern to include the founder of the religion, historical background, concept, beliefs, core teachings, temples/shrines, methods of worship, rituals, societal restrictions, priesthood, proselytization, eschatology, religious texts and scriptures, development of the religion through centuries, interaction/conflict with other religions, the spread of the religion, demographics, diaspora, symbols, etc. The language has been kept simple without any profound philosophy or pedagogy, keeping a lay reader in mind. India’s ancient Vedas stated that there are many different approaches to God and all are valid. The modern Indian saint Sri Ramakrishna also stated, “As many paths, so many faiths.” This book is an attempt towards it.
