Book Description
Swami Vivekananda’s name is becoming more and more popular across the globe. However, even today many know very little about him. Some understand and adore him, some others misunderstand and misrepresent him. Who was he really? What did he do? What were his ideas and contribution to the welfare of the individual and the collective, of India and the rest of the world? This book, authored by Revered Swami Tapasyananda Maharaj, former vice-president of the Order, powerfully and impressively answers to these questions in a nutshell.
The National union catalog, 1968-1972
Author: Swami Vivekananda
Author: Rita D. ShermaPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1498586058
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
With historical-critical analysis and dialogical even-handedness, the essays of this book re-assess the life and legacy of Swami Vivekananda, forged at a time of colonial suppression, from the vantage point of socially-engaged religion at a time of global dislocations and international inequities. Due to the complexity of Vivekananda as a historical figure on the cusp of late modernity with its vast transformations, few works offer a contemporary, multi-vocal, nuanced, academic examination of his liberative vision and legacy in the way that this volume does. It brings together North American, European, British, and Indian scholars associated with a broad array of humanistic disciplines towards critical-constructive, contextually-sensitive reflections on one of the most important thinkers and theologians of the modern era.

The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Vedanta
Author: Ayon MaharajPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350063258
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
This handbook brings together a distinguished team of scholars from philosophy, theology, and religious studies to provide the first in-depth discussion of Vedanta and the many different systems of thought that make up this tradition of Indian philosophy. Emphasizing the historical development of Vedantic thought, it includes chapters on numerous classical Vedantic philosophies as well as the modern Vedantic views of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Aurobindo, and Romain Rolland. The volume offers careful hermeneutic analyses of how Vedantic texts have been interpreted, and it addresses key issues and debates in Vedanta, including religious diversity, the nature of God, and the possibility of embodied liberation. Venturing into cross-philosophical and cross-cultural territory, it also brings Vedanta into dialogue with Saiva Nondualism as well as contemporary Western analytic philosophy. Highlighting current scholarly controversies and charting new paths of inquiry, this is an indispensable research guide for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of Vedanta and Indian philosophy.

Art and Nationalism in Colonial India, 1850-1922
Author: Partha MitterPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521443548
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
Partha Mitter's book is a pioneering study of the history of modern art on the Indian subcontinent from 1850 to 1922. The author tells the story of Indian art during the Raj, set against the interplay of colonialism and nationalism. The work addresses the tensions and contradictions that attended the advent of European naturalism in India, as part of the imperial design for the westernisation of the elite, and traces the artistic evolution from unquestioning westernisation to the construction of Hindu national identity. Through a wide range of literary and pictorial sources, Art and Nationalism in Colonial India balances the study of colonial cultural institutions and networks with the ideologies of the nationalist and intellectual movements which followed. The result is a book of immense significance, both in the context of South Asian history and in the wider context of art history.
