Book Description
Every life form that inhabits the planet is valuable - be it an ant, a bird, an elephant or a tiger, even microbes and bacteria matter. The importance of biologically different life forms is highlighted for the first time at the world environment conference held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Now, the preservation of biodiversity is considered not only essential for our survival but also for ecological and environmental harmony. Now, we hear the word 'reverence for life' too often at different forums. This concept was earlier confined to the Jain community alone.

Jaina Studies
Author: Colette Caillat
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publishe
ISBN: 9788120832473
Category : Jaina literature, Prakit
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Interest for Jain studies has increased considerably in the last decades. Scholars will be thankful to the organizers of the 12th World Sanskrit Conference who, for the first time in such a conference, planned a special panel on this field. The ten papers collected in this volume show the importance, abundance and variety of topics that can be considered. Philological analysis still proves useful, whether it concentrates on one particular work or on clusters of texts. A study of the strategy of narrative and predication needs a historical approach, kavya literature lends itself to renewed and indepth interpretations. Finally the reader will observe the constant renewal of Jainism, as some new literary genre or a new sect are seen to have gained momentum in modern times.

Pages : 127
Book Description
Dr. Radhakrishnan sketches the lives of fourteen individuals who have influenced India's life and culture significantly and altered the course of its history. Among these are social reformers like Swami Dayanand and Raja Ram Mohan Roy, political thinkers and activists like Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Patel, Tilak and Gokhale and a giant among scientists, Jagdis Bose. All of them had one thing in common — they broke the barriers of tradition and normalcy, and strove for noble ideals...

More About Ramakrishna
Author: Swami Prabhananda
Publisher: Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)
ISBN: 8175058838
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
All the great personages of the past, who have left an indelible mark on the trail of events in the history of mankind, become a centre around which gathers, with the passage of time, a mass of legends and myths. These, more often than not, are later assumed to be facts that cannot be verified. The historicity of many of these legends begins to be questioned then, be they related to the life of a Christ, a Buddha or a Moses. Sri Ramakrishna, the latest in the line of these Great Masters, is an exception to this historical dilemma, as he appeared just a century ago. Even today researches succeed in discovering hitherto unknown truths about him, and these can be easily verified. The author of this book published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, has brought to light some fresh findings on Sri Ramakrishna that will be extremely interesting for all his devotees and admirers.

Philosophy and Theistic Mysticism of the Āl̲vārs
Author: S. M. Srinivasa Chari
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publ.
ISBN: 9788120813427
Category : Alvari
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The Buddhist monk Upagupta, who preached and taught meditative practices in Northwest India over two thousand years ago, is venerated today by the laity in parts of Burma, Thailand, and laos as a proctective figure endowed with magical powers. The author demonstrates a remarkable continuity among traditions focused on Upagupta in ancient Sarvastivadin Sanskrit materials, key Pali texts, medieval Thai and Burmese texts, and rituals in Southeast Asia. In so doing he reflects the orientation of popular Sanskrit Hinayana Buddhism, which allows for new perspectives on such classic questions as the nature of enlightnment, the evil, the worship of the Buddha image, the veneration of saints, master-disciple relationships, the treatment of heterodoxy, and the relation of myth and ritual.

Book Description
For a span of more than fifty years Sri Ma Anandamayi dominatedgracefully the spiritual horizon of India. The keepers of the Vedicheritage 3 the ascetics orders of India 3 were united in declaringher the quintessence of the Upanishadic Spirit.The present book is a lively and engaging account of Sri Ma senigmatic personality from the point of view of a single devotedfamily. It is an intimate and moving study of personal commitments.Yet through the author s perspective an emerging modern societyis glimpsed where orthodox rites, political upheavals, social changescreate the shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope.
