Soft cover. Zustand: New. Varuna is the creator of heaven and earth. He fixed the earth and sky asunder, lifting up the spacious vault of heaven and spreading the earth out beneath. The greatness of Varuna is revealed in creation. Varuna's attributes are wisdom, greatness, creative power, sovereignty, holiness (manifesting itself in wrath on account of sin), and mercy, when the sinner is penitent. But Varuna not only forgives sin, but also gives wisdom to the simple, i. e. enables them to learn wisdom through experience of the fetters of sin and then he restores worldly prosperity. Varuna cannot be identified with the heaven, for the three heavens are in him. A magnificent statement of the transcendence of Varuna. He is the Container, not the contained. …

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : In the ever-increasing mass of literature which has been devoted to the criticism and appreciation of Indian thought, a tendency to extremes has constantly manifested itself. On the one hand we find amongst outside critics signs of a disposition to undervalue the results of India speculation. Over- zealous attempts are sometimes made to derive from alien sources the most important elements in Oriental philosophy, and when such attempts are shown by serious scholars to be almost altogether impossible, recourse is taken to a superior and slightly patronizing attitude in which, no doubt, expressions of depreciation are politely avoided, but the place of genuine and sympathetic appreciation is occupied by intermittent ejaculations of wonder as to how a people who have not had the benefits of the cultural inheritance which the superior critics themselves enjoy, should have been capable of so much as has actually been accomplished in India.A study of the Vedanta leads to many general reflections on the relations between philosophy and religion, and in particular to the questions how far such a philosophy can satisfy religious needs and how far it can be regarded as a preparation for Christianity About The Author : W.S. Urquhart associated with Scottish churches college, Calcutta in the early 20th century. He has made some comparisons between the Vedanta and modern philosophical thought; anticipation of Vedantie Ideas in the Upanishads. The author made it clear that in the Vedanta, as well as in other Indian philosophies, we may notice a remarkable unity of development more closely than in Western philosophy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : The was always a Missionary enthusiast, and he was thrilled by the prospect of seeing the field for himself. For years he had studied the religion of the Parsis, and now there opened out before him the opportunity of personal intercourse with them. Under ordinary conditions it would not have been possible to entertain the proposition, on account of other duties ; but the war had so affected all theological colleges that a prolonged absence could be contemplated as not involving of necessity any serious interruption of his normal work. Moreover, coming as it did within a week after he had lost his wife, the invitation seemed to open out for him a course of service in a fresh field just at the time when service on the old field was bound to be so fraught with pain. When another heavy sorrow came to him while he was in India, in the death of his eldest son,He had been invited to go to India largely that he might use his ripe Iranian scholarship in lecturing to the Parsis on Zoroastrianism, and he received from that community every- where proofs of the warmest possible friendship and regard and of the keenest interest in his teaching. About The Author : The Reverend James Hope Moulton (1863 1917) was a British non-conformist divine. He was also a philologist and made a special study of Zoroastrianism. His family had a strong Methodist background. Dr James Hope Moulton, D.Lit (Lond.); Hon. D.D. (Edinburgh, Berlin and Groningen); Hon. D.C.L. (Durham), was one of three scholars who visited India in 1915, to spend a year studying some of the problems of education and religion in the country, He developed a strong interest in Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest known monotheistic religions. Over the course of his life he published many books and papers, mainly focused on Zoroastrianism and the Greek texts that the Bible is derived from. He was a Prison Chaplain at Preston for some time around 1910. The Title 'The Religious Quest of India : The Treasure of the Magi written/authored/edited by Edited By J. N. Farquharand, H. D.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : They endeavour to work in the sincere and sympathetic spirit of science. They desire to understand the perplexingly involved developments of thought and life in India and dis passionately to estimate their value. They recognize the futility of any such attempt to understand and evaluate, unless it is grounded in a thorough historical study of the phenomena investigated. In recognizing this fact they do no more than share what is common ground among all modern students of religion of any repute. But they also believe that it is neces sary to set the practical side of each system in living relation to the beliefs and the literature, and that, in this regard, the close and direct contact which they have each had with Indian religious life ought to prove a source of valuable light. For, until a clear understanding has been gained of the practical in?uence exerted by the habits of worship, by the practice of the ascetic, devotional, or occult discipline, by the social organization and by the family system, the real impact of the faith upon the life of the individual and the community cannot be estimated and, without the advantage of extended personal intercourse, a trustworthy account of the religious experience of a community can scarcely be achieved by even the most careful student. About The Author : The Bombay philosopher John McKenzie (1883-1955), who taught and later served as principal of Wilson College is known for his controversial Hindu Ethics (I922). He wrote many books as-where he argued that, as a system, Hindu philosophical thought falls short because it "furnishes no satisfactory basis for an ethic.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : This Essay is an attempt to relate to the Christian Gospel the living forces of Hinduism. Of the inadequacy of my understanding both of Hinduism and of Christianity I am deeply conscious, but at least I have striven to deal with Hinduism as a living faith, and to speak of it with the fairness and sympathy with which we discuss the convictions of honoured friends. It is hard to express another's faith. I have sought to make the Sacred Books speak for themselves, and in the first half of the Essay have tried to illustrate the three great doctrines of Hinduism, karma , bkakti, and redemption, in a way that shall at least be textual and to that extent authoritative. The second half of the Essay is an endeavour to relate Christianity to these Hindu doctrines. Though Christ indeed is adequate, our Christianity often is not. To answer the aspirations of Hinduism an enlarged interpretation is required. We need to affirm that, for the Christian, eternal life is a present and indubitable possession. Christianity must be proclaimed as a religion of redemption, not from sin only, but from the world. About The Author : Sydney Cave (1883-1953) was a writer. He wrote An Introduction to the Study of Some Living Religions of the East and The Religious Quest of India :Redemption Hindu and Christian. The writer of the series of volumes of the variant forms of religious life if India are governed if their work by two impelling motives, first they endeavour to work in the sinecure and sympathetic spirit of science, second, they seek to set each form of Indian Religion by the side of Christianity in such a way that the relationship may stand out clear.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : India has always been recognized as so determinedly pan theistic in its religious thought that 'Indian Theism' will seem to many an unnatural collocation of words. There are some, no doubt, who will maintain that whatever can be so described is really foreign to the Indian spirit and must be credited to Christian or Muhammadan influences. Theism, no doubt, assumes various aspects in various environments and as it passes through various minds. For that reason it will be found in India always to bear certain characteristic marks that determine it as Indian. We shall accordingly find at all periods of the Indian religious development certain elements in it which, far off as they often are from what we understand by the Theism of Western theologians and philosophers, yet can justly claim to share with them that designation. Those cults and systems, often embryonic, often fragmentary, appear sometimes as efforts of revolt from the cere-mnonialism or the intellectualism of the official religion. When Muhammadanism invaded the country, and still more when Christianity appeared at a later date, supported by all the authority and prestige of Western civilization, the Indian spirit, however deeply rooted in its own soil, and however tenacious of its own peculiar characteristics, could not but be greatly influenced. About The Author : Nicol Macnicol (1870 1952) Born Catacol, United Kingdom. He was educated at University of Glasgow, the High School of Glasgow, he wrote many Books -Psalms of Maratha Saints, Indian Theism, War and Religion, Indian Theism, and Edited works.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : To the general public Jainism is little more than a mere name, and even students of the Religions of India have often failed to give it the attention it well may claim. True, out of India's 315 millions less than one million and a quarter (1,248,162) to-day profess the Jaina faith, and the last twenty years have witnessed a steady decrease in the number of its adherents; but, its numerical weakness notwithstanding, Jainism can make its own distinct appeal for a more informed acquaintance with its special tenets. In that sixth century before Christ which in so many countries witnessed an earnest aspiration after higher truths and nobler lives, the country of Bihar was strangely agitated by the teachings of not a few bold reformers, men then styled heretics. Mahavira, Buddha, Gosala, Jamali, all founded sects of their own, and others there were who vied with these either in propounding rival heresies or in establishing separate monastic organizations. Yet of all these ancient Orders one only has survived in India down to the present day, and that one is the Jainism founded whether by Mahavira himself or by his reputed master Parsvanatha. About The Author : Sinclair Stevenson ( 1875-1957). She sometime scholar of Somerville Colllege, Oxford. These notes on Jainism have been compiled mainly from information supplied to me by Gujarati speaking Jaina, so it has seemed advisable to use the Gujarati forms of their technical terms. She wrote - Notes on Modern Jainism, with Special Reference to the Svetambara, Digambara and Sthanakavasi Sects, The Religious Quest of India The Heart of Jainism and The Religious Quest of India The Rites of the Twice-born etc. The Title 'The Religious Quest of India : The Heart of Jainism written/authored/edited by Edited By J.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : Two things have attracted the author to the study of the Rigveda; first, the living interest which has lured him on ever since he began the study of Vedic in 1889 with Prof. Weber of Berlin, after previously reading Sanskrit with Prof. Macdonell of Oxford; and secondly, the fact that he has had the advantage of living nearly thirty years in the Punjab, the very habitat of the Vedic Indians. The religion of the Rigveda in the form in which it was professed and practised is, of course, dead, and yet, in a sense, it still lives. As the Old Testament has fulfilled itself in three monotheisms, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, so the Rigveda has fulfilled itself in the popular polytheism, the philosophic pantheism and the occasional monotheism of India. If it is impossible to understand present-day Hinduism without a knowledge of the Rigveda, the reverse is also true that it is impossible to understand the Rigveda without a knowledge of modern Hinduism; for very many of the doctrines and rites of Hinduism point back to the Rigveda as their fountain-head and as such are survivals of that ancient time. While it is true that the Rigvedic gods have passed into the twilight, yet the Rigveda itself abides as a permanent source of material for the reconstruction of the ancient religion. About The Author : Hervey De Witt Griswold (1860 1945) was an American writer and missionary. He attended Union College in Schenectady, New York from 1881 to 1885 then went to Union Theological Seminary in New York City from 1885 to 1888. During the following two years Griswold had a fellowship at Oxford and Berlin Universities. Griswold began his 36-year-long career as a missionary in 1890 in Jhansi, India as a representative of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church. In 1894 Griswold became Professor of Philosophy at Forman Christian College in Lahore, India (now Pakistan), teaching English and history there as well. As its librarian Griswold built the Foreman Christian College Library, adding a substantial number of books on religion and philosophy to the collection. Griswold also served as secretary of the India Council of the Presbyterian Missions. In 1900 Griswold received his Ph.D. from Cornell University, based on his thesis on the Indian Philosophy known as Brahman. In 1910, Griswold obtained his Doctor of Divinity. A prolific writer, he wrote about Hinduism and other Indian religions. He also wrote about the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, at a time when Ahmad was alive, and critically analyzed his claims to be the promised Messiah and Mahdi.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : The author focuses on the variant forms of religious life in India. This work traces historically the path of the chief Hindu sects and philosophies, and the origin and growth of some doctrines or disciplines. The book covers the early Vedic religion; transmigration and release; the movement towards theism; philosophies and sects; bhakti and Muslim influence. About The Author : John Nicol Farquhar (18611929) was a Scottish educational missionary to Calcutta, and an Orientalist. He is one of the pioneers who popularised the Fulfilment theology in India that Christ is the crown of Hinduism, though, Fulfilment thesis in Bengal was built on foundation originally laid in Madras by William Miller. He arrived at Calcutta and started his missionary work by teaching at Bhowanipur for eleven years from 1891. He joined Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in 1902 as a national student secretary; later, as a literary secretary, a post which he held until 1923. While working at YMCA, he strived to enable the association to widen its appeal to students through lectures, through personal friendships, and through production of whole new body of literature of the highest grade that India had ever known before. He authored several books on Hinduism, notably, The Crown of Hindustan, A Primer of Hinduism, Gita and Gospel, and many alike.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : The subject-matter of the book is distributed in three parts. The first deals with the epochs in a Brahman's life: birth, investiture with the sacred thread, betrothal, marriage, and death, together with the beliefs, practices, and ceremonies connected with the main periods of his career, such as rites performed in infancy, the importance of a son, funeral offerings, the punishments in future existences of sins committed in this life, the widow's lot, and other matters. The second part is concerned with times and seasons in so far as they are connected with the ritual of the Brahman's day, of the days of the week, the month, and the year ; and with occasional rites and observances associated with the building of houses, the digging of wells, and with pilgrimages, sacred hills and rivers. The last part describes the worship of the two great gods Visnu and Siva, together with the ceremonies performed in their temples. It also treats of the practices of ascetics. The book, concluding with a comparison of the outlook of Hinduism and Christianity, discusses the appeal which the latter makes to the increasing number of thinking men among the Twice-born as a substitute for a system which no longer satisfies their religious cravings.
