Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality
Author: Ayon Maharaj
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190868244
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Sri Ramakrishna is widely known as a nineteenth-century Indian mystic who affirmed the harmony of all religions on the basis of his richly varied spiritual experiences and eclectic religious practices, both Hindu and non-Hindu. In Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality, Ayon Maharaj argues that Sri Ramakrishna was also a sophisticated philosopher of great contemporary relevance. Through a careful study of Sri Ramakrishna's recorded oral teachings in the original Bengali, Maharaj reconstructs his philosophical positions and analyzes them from a cross-cultural perspective. Sri Ramakrishna's spiritual journey culminated in the exalted state of "vijñana," his term for the "intimate knowledge" of God as the Infinite Reality that is both personal and impersonal, with and without form, immanent in the universe and beyond it. This expansive spiritual standpoint of vijñana, Maharaj contends, opens up a new paradigm for addressing central issues in cross-cultural philosophy of religion, including divine infinitude, religious pluralism, mystical experience, and the problem of evil. Sri Ramakrishna's vijñana-based religious pluralism--when grasped in all its subtlety--proves to have major philosophical advantages over dominant Western models. Moreover, his mystical testimony and teachings not only cut across long-standing debates about the nature of mystical experience but also bolster recent defenses of its epistemic value. Maharaj further demonstrates that Sri Ramakrishna's unique response to the problem of evil resonates strongly with Western "soul-making" theodicies and contemporary theories of skeptical theism. A pioneering interdisciplinary study of one of India's most important philosopher-mystics, Maharaj's book is essential reading for scholars and students in philosophy of religion, theology, religious studies, and Hindu studies.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
The Appalachian Trail was beautiful, evil, demanding but forgiving. It taught us the importance of individuality, luck and determination. The best lesson, however, was the value of each person who hiked it, maintained it, and provided trail magic to the random anonymous hiker. We're all family on the Trail. Shared hardships act as a bond. This book offers observations of the same experiences from a variety of viewpoints complete with the good and bad memories. From a married couple, a father-son team, sisters, a hostel owner, a Marine who just finished his military career, a retired orthopedic surgeon, an Australian long distance hiker, young, middle-aged and senior men and women.....all have their stories to tell. If you like fun, adventure, raw emotion, and honesty you'll find it all in these chapters. Because each author can't tell their whole story they must condense their trail experience to events most meaningful to them. As you will see, we all suffered, rejoiced, were disappointed, and rewarded almost daily during the many months we hiked through the "green tunnel." OUR TIME ON THE TRAIL CHANGED US, EACH AND EVERY ONE.
