Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. This is an annotated English translation of Vijnanabhiksu s commentaries on the first five Brahmasutra (BS) of Badarayana called the Vijnanamrtabhasya (VijBh). This is a pioneering work as no translation of the VijBh has been done so far. Bhiksu is perhaps the only known Vedanta scholar who has argued for Brahman along with his prakrti-sakti being the cause of the world. He calls his Advaita philosophy as Avibhaga-Advaita and sets himself against Sankara s Advaita which argues for Brahman alone being the material and efficient cause of the world. Bhiksu is also an unique Advaita scholar as he interprets Vedanta using Samkhya/Yoga principles. One of the reasons for choosing to comment on only the first five sutras was because the VijBh is a huge work and also because Bhiksu s Avibhaga-Advaita can easily be understood from his commentaries on these first five sutras of the BS. Even though the real reason for Bhiksu s commentary on the fifth sutra (BS I.1.5) should be clear to anyone familiar with Vedanta s objection to prakrti being the cause of the world, it needed to be seen as to how Bhiksu, as a committed Samkhya-Yoga-Vedantacarya, defends prakrti s role in being the cause. Just as writing commentaries on the first four sutras of Sankara s BSBh done by some eminent scholars present the main features of Sankara s Advaita, the commentaries on the first five sutras of the BS by Bhiksu could adequately present Bhiksu s Avibhaga-Advaita Vedanta.

The Mahabharata is an Itihasa which holds fascination for scholars of different disciplines. There is material here in this vast text for anthropologists sociologists philosophers scholars of religious studies astrophysicists and many more. While earlier scholarship has mainly been in the fields of religion and philosophy and in the dating of the Itihasa since the publication of the critical edition scholars have been engaged in researching its contents both critically and comparatively in very many areas and in novel ways. This book which is a collection of essays by scholars reputed in the area of Mahabharata studies belongs to this new genre. There are chapters here that explore the hermeneutics of dharma others which try to analyze different characters from many perspectives one which revisits the dating of the Kuruksetra War using latest computer technology another one which discusses the birth of the Pandavas and the Kauravas in modern bioethical terms and many other topics as well. This book is thus an addition to the ongoing scholarship in understanding the inexhaustible material available to us in this unique Mahabharata text that represents in many ways the cultural history of India. Though ancient the Mahabharata is modern in the challenges it presents to scholars of all ages. It is a book which also caters to the general reader interested in the Itihasa tradition. 320 pp.

Contents Preface Introduction 1 SwamisSamnyasinsMonksAscetics in the Cultural World of the Hindus An Overview 2 Samnyasins and the Samnyasashrama as seen by Scholars 3 Interviews with SamnyasinsSamnyasinis 4 Endings Appendix Questionnaire Glossary Bibliography IndexThe present book Samnyasins in the Hindu Tradition Changing Perspectives covers a wide territory trying to look at the samnyasins and the samnyasashrama in their long existence from the times of Shankara to the present day This book traverses a slightly different trajectory from the usual book on samnyasins as it attempts an overview of the samnyasin and the institution over a long period from Vedic to post-Independence times and speculates on the future of the institution as well Samnyasins and scholars not only from India but from countries as diverse as Canada South Africa UK and USA also figure in this collection The samnyasashramas covered also range from the traditional Advaita Vishishthadvaita and Dvaita to include many more later ashrams such as the Vira Shaiva Lingayat Dharmapuram Adheenam Arya Samaj Shivananda Ashram Ramakrishna Mission Swami Narayan and many others Another departure from other books on the subject is that it also compares institutions like the Ramakrishna Mission for instance as they function in India and in foreign countries where they have established ashrams In the midst of varied opinions regarding the samnyasin and the samnyasashrama this book will throw light on how scholars common people as well as the samnyasins themselves view their roles both as individual personalities and as persons living in an institution relating to society as a whole 283 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 2 Volumes. Text in English. 389 and 230 pp. Worn dust jacket. Light edge wear. Page edges lightly stained. In this two-volume work of critically translating the YogasÅ«trabhÄ syavivarana (YSBHV) of Å ankara, the YogasÅ«tras of Patañjali, and the bhÄ sya of VyÄ sa, all these three texts have been brought together for the first time. The question of the authorship of YSBHV has been a vexed one and has engaged the attention of scholars for a long time. In this work the authorship problem has been examined in great detail on the basis of both the internal and external evidences. The author has also drawn attention to some specific references to Vãcaspati MiÅ ra in the body of the VivaraÅ a. This, hopefully, should settle once and for all the authorship problem.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. This is the first time that an attempt to render the Yogavarttika into English has been made. Its syncretic nature and the difficulty of understanding it without the aid of the sÅ«tra and bhÄ sya has always deterred the undertaking of this work for a study in such detail. The present work gains added importance due to the critical notes given under every vãrttika The bringing together of all the three-the sûtra, bhÄ sya and vårttika-will serve the scholar and layman alike and will fulfil the need long felt for such a work. The first volume in this series dealing with the SamÄ dhipÄ da has had a very good response. The Hindu dated 21 December 1982 while reviewing the book mentions 'Prof. T.S. Rukmani has achieved tremendous success in her endeavour and has also made the world of scholars deeply indebted to her for bringing out this immaculate edition and translation of the Yogavartika pertaining to SamÄ dhipÄ da. The splitting of the bhÄ Å ya and the vÄ rttika topicwise, provision of accurate and lucid English translation with copious explanations and footnotes and an erudite glossary of technical terms make this work extremely useful. 4 Volumes. Text in English. 982 pp. Moderate wear on the covers and corners. Dust jacket has some rubbing and wear on the edges.
