In Search of the Cradle of Civilization
Author: Georg Feuerstein
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publishing House
ISBN: 9788120820371
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 376

In this pathbreaking book, the authors show that the ancient Indians were no primitives but possessed a high spiritual culture, which not only influenced the evolution of the Western world in decisive ways but which still hs much to teach us today. India's archaic spirituality is codified in the rich symbols, metaphors and myths of the magnificent Rig-Veda, which is shown to be much older than has been widely assumed by scholars. The present book also unravels the astonishing mathematical and astronomical code hidden in the Vedic hymns. Anyone interested in ancient cultural history, India, archaeo-astronomy or spirituality will find this well researched and cross-cultural work spellbinding and enriching.

Orientalism and Literature
Author: Geoffrey P. Nash
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108585566
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 674
Book Description
Orientalism and Literature discusses a key critical concept in literary studies and how it assists our reading of literature. It reviews the concept's evolution: how it has been explored, imagined and narrated in literature. Part I considers Orientalism's origins and its geographical and multidisciplinary scope, then considers the major genres and trends Orientalism inspired in the literary-critical field such as the eighteenth-century Oriental tale, reading the Bible, and Victorian Oriental fiction. Part II recaptures specific aspects of Edward Said's Orientalism: the multidisciplinary contexts and scholarly discussions it has inspired (such as colonial discourse, race, resistance, feminism and travel writing). Part III deliberates upon recent and possible future applications of Orientalism, probing its currency and effectiveness in the twenty-first century, the role it has played and continues to play in the operation of power, and how in new forms, neo-Orientalism and Islamophobia, it feeds into various genres, from migrant writing to journalism.

An Aryan Journey

Publisher: Rupa Publications India
ISBN: 9788129132581
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
The origin of the Indo-Aryans and their advent in India is shrouded in mystery to this day. An Aryan Journeyis an attempt to bring out the early history of this ethno-linguistic group, using the literature they left behind as their legacy. This meticulously researched book culls evidence from ancient texts to prove that the Indo-Aryans came to India in trade ships and were helped by the people of Indus Valley to settle with them. Using sources such as the Veds and the Avestha, as well as Zoroastrian scriptures and the Shahnama of Firdausi, the author reveals that the Indo-Aryans and the founders of Zoroastrianism belonged to the same ethnic stock. Along with the origins of the Aryan race, he also dwells on the causes of the end of the Indus Valley Civilization. Informative and illuminating, An Aryan Journeyis a must-read for those interested in knowing more about the Aryan civilization.
