Or just a dream in a world which today, more than ever before, stays riven by parochial, deep- rooted barriers : nationalistic, ethnic, religious, linguistic and many other, leave alone a whole diversity of divisive 'isms'? An eminent exponent of Vedantic philosophy here examines this question afresh to suggest that the one-world dream could become a reality, if man only learnt to cultivate the unitive vision. "Essentially a vital part of Nataraja Guru's globally wide educational programme, Experiencing One- World seeks to evolve "one-world consciousness" that tunes man to look beyond the trees to stars, to turn on his mind to world fraternity, and to discern the language of audiovisual arts and the charm of poetry-as, for instance, is manifest in the world of architecture and music. "Spelling out Nataraja Guru's view of One-World that embraces. 386 pp. …

The book you hold in your hands stands by itself in the field of Bhagavad Gita commentary. Nataraja Guru has extricated the work from its historical and cultural setting to present it as it was always intended to be appreciated as a universally applicable psychology and philosophy of life and living. This is very much in keeping with the Guru's lifelong task of revaluing and restating India's ancient wisdom heritage in terms acceptable and comprehensible to intelligent modern human beings anywhere and at any time. Nataraja Guru's insights remain unique and essential. When both science and religion have become mature enough to surrender their turf wars to something akin to the unifying vision of the ancient rishis of India the human race will have made its greatest conscious stride toward a substantive peace evincing universal justice and happiness. The doors of this type of perception are wide open thanks in part to the Guru's revolutionary treatment of this ancient masterwork of the human race. 784 pp.…

Nataraja Gurus guruhood is pure and philosophically correct making as few concessions as possible to relativistic or social notions He is a guru of absolutist truth It is too rare to be popularly understood It is not the popular conception of the Upanishadic or the ashramic pattern It is a new form of guruhood made for a really global world The Guru Narayana did the initial spadework here in breaking through the fixed Indian orthodox patterns as far as he was able in his own lifetime to do so without entirely destroying the background His work was experimental and his success showed the way to the one disciple Natarajan to plunge ahead on a wider and entirely universal scale Nataraja Guru therefore has grafted guruhood on to a global background For this work the absolutism of guruhood has to be stressed more than the religious or even the conventional yogi aspect as known to India Nataraja Guru never wanted a following least of all of blind believers He only asks for reasonable understanding of the pure principles for which he stands and not in any cloud-soaring sense either but in immediately applicable relationship with any or every given actual situation; nor in works but in understanding alone His discoveries in the field of philosophy open up a new age in human understanding Through his genius for the first time clear sense emerges out of the hitherto baffling expressions of Indian thought while the ways of Indian spirituality cease to be a mystery So at one stroke minds are cleared and much delusion and superstitions trickery in the philosophic-religious field are destroyed How bold and wonderful is his genius in restating yoga as a modern perennial science of dialectics applicable in all fields 803 pp.…

Nataraja Guru single handedly revolutionized philosophical thought in the mid twentieth century. At a time when science had unwittingly followed Marxism into a materialist desert he never relinquished his insight into what had been omitted. Now that scientists and philosophers everywhere are pausing in perplexity having bumped up against the limits of their partial outlook the Guru's works offer to reintroduce the wisdom that can bring the desert back to life. Stung by the horrors of the inquisition western science turned its back on metaphysics for hundreds of years. The extended effort to include as much as possible of the universe under the aegis of physical reality was an interesting experiment but it has about played itself out. Ideas memories emotions and time among other major categories are metaphysical entities that have transcended every effort at being reduced to material existence. Matter itself is seen to be brimming with energy as soon as you look beneath the surface. A counterbalancing backlash has occurred recently in which religious and other metaphysical ideas no matter how divorced from reality are being embraced as a welcome escape from uncompromising materialism. For a sensible philosophy free of prejudice which can open the road to further progress in human thought a balance must be struck between physics and metaphysics. Each must support and verify the other. Nataraja Guru clearly establishes the basis for such an advance in this work presenting an overarching scheme to integrate all aspects of reality under one roof. Any meaningful philosophy must have some version of an absolute idea or value implicit in it. After presenting his own absolute system Nataraja Guru investigates several prominent strains of philosophy including the rationalist and the materialist to identify the absolute element hidden within each of them. Totalitarianism and absolutism are shown to be totally antithetical the former being highly exclusionary while the latter embraces every possibility. Dialectic thinking is at the heart of the Guru's philosophy leading to an absolute vision that incorporates all parts within the whole. For the serious thinker unsatisfied by modern pop philosophy Unitive Philosophy is a uniquely rewarding book that will open up vast uncharted regions for exploration. The leading interpreter of Narayana Guru's wisdom from among his disciples Nataraja Guru became one of the.…

Anandalahari Commentary (verses 1 41). Part II. Saundaryalahari Commentary (verses 42 100). Appendices. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. The Saundaryalahari has fascinated and puzzled generations of scholars and laypersons subject to continuing study and debate till today such details as the authorship of the 100 verses named the Saundaryalahari remain a matter of contention particularly among scholars. While some attribute it to Sankara others argue that the Saundaryalahari's verses in praise of the Devi cannot have been authored by this staunch Vedantin some argue that it's value is essentially in the realm of what is loosely called Tantra while others extend the significance of the Saundaryalahari to include the preoccupations of Vedanta. Nataraja Guru is unequivocal in his belief that none other than Sankara could have composed this masterpiece of mystical poetry and identifies internal evidence in the verses themselves to support this view. The detailed commentary views the Saundaryalahari as Advaita Vedanta itself. The absolute joy of Advaita is presented in a pictorial language subjectively as Ananda and objectively as Saundarya. 574 pp.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. It is not just the magnum opus, but a truly monumental effort of a scientist-philosopher who has spent a whole lifetime to formulate a unitive science, wherein all disciplines of human questing could find a common ground — a science where modern science and ancient spiritual wisdom could meet and merge like two opposite poles of a magnet. As a direct disciple of one of the great rishis of the modern age, Nataraja Guru discovers this common ground in Brahma-vidya?, which he calls the “Integrated Science of the Absolute”, and which has, at its base, his Guru’s Dars?ana Ma?la? A string of hundred Sanskrit verses, composed by the mystic-poet, Narayana Guru (1854–1928), the Dars?ana Ma?la? is the very “epitome of all visions of truth” — inspired by his remarkable acquisitions of Upanis?adic thought and, yet far more, by his own tapas (mystical discipline). Reproducing these highly significative verses in Roman script, along with English translations, word meanings, and extensive commentaries, Nataraja Guru not only spells out his mentor’s “Visions of the Absolute” in contemporary idiom, but also shows how these “visions” are fully validated by modern science. Eclectic synthesis of varied scientific disciplines into a systematic whole is not all that Nataraja Guru accomplishes here. Rather, his book (now in third edition) is an attempt to reintroduce Brahma-vidya? as the one Master Science that embraces every branch of science, every human interest.…
