Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. This book is a Festschrift volume in honour of Prof. Trichur S. Rukmani that reflects the plethora of issues which she studied in her scholastic life. It includes twenty-four essays by distinguished scholars on various classical and contemporary issues pertaining to Indian studies. While the volume discusses current research in the field of Yoga Prof. Rukmani's primary research field it also invites further reflection on other areas of Indian thought which have attracted her attention in the course of her long and fruitful academic career. The volume is divided thematically into six sections. The first two sections deal with the interpretation of the Yoga, Vedanta and Gaudiya-Vaishnava traditions, exploring issues of hermeneutics, methodology and philosophical analysis. The third section addresses issues of continuity within the Indian tradition and includes essays on tantric Shaivism, Mimamsa and the Bhagavad-Gita. The next two sections feature essays on the Sanskrit philosophical discourse, grammar, epic literature and renunciation in the Indian tradition. The last section of the volume takes up issues of contemporary relevance such as the insights from the Hindu tradition towards environmental ethics, the Svadhyaya movement and its dharmic ecology, non-violence, gender, cultural identity as well as syncretism. The volume, including essays as diverse as Prof. Trichur S. Rukmani's own scholarly interests, will certainly benefit all scholars and students of Indology, especially those concerned with the religious and philosophical traditions of India.…

First edition. Octavo. xxiv, 513, (3)pp. Including list of Numen book series. Index. Plus 14 pages of black & white photographic plates. Pictorial boards with lilac/gray spine lettered in white. A fine but ex-library copy (with minimal markings; i.e. rubber stamps on title page & bottom of text block). This volume deals with a phenomenon of increasing global significance, the South Asian diaspora. In particular it deals with the role of religion. The diversity of religious life in South Asia is remarkable and much of this diversity is replicated in the diaspora communities around the world. The case studies in this book explore and analyze the social, religious and cultural reality of people in the diaspora belonging to Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism and originating from four of the South Asian nation states (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka). The book highlights the religious diversity that exists in the diaspora communities both across the traditions and within the particular religions. (Publisher) Contents: The Jain plate / A.

The content of the book is divided into the following broad categories: Chinese Experience; Japanese-Brazilian and Brazilian Experience; South Asian Experience; Impact of 9/11 on Muslim Religious Pluralism; and Issues of Religious Pluralism in the Diaspora. While keeping theory to a minimum, the book focuses on case-studies in the hope this will facilitate scholars to engage in further theoretical work on the phenomenon of religious pluralism in the Diaspora and in answering important questions on how religious pluralism can be conceptualised and which issues need to be addressed in doing so. The material is also useful for comparative studies in the academic study of religion. -- Contents: PART ONE: CHINESE EXPERIENCE Chinese Catholic Center in Tokyo: Institutional Characteristics in Contexts / Gracia Liu Farrer; Chinese Christian Community in Bucharest (Romania): A Missiological Approach to the Ecclesiogenesis / Dorottya Jagy; Searching for a Niche, Creolizing Religious Tradition: Negotiation & Reconstruction of Ethnicity among Chinese in Jamaica / Roshiko Shibata; Missiological Implications of Chinese Christianity in a Globalized Context / Kim-Kwong Chan; Ethnic Identity in Overseas Chinese Protestant Churches in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area / Barbara Ambros; PART TWO: JAPANESE-BRAZILIANS & BRAZILIANS EXPERIENCE Religious Activities among the Japanese-Brazilians: 'Dual Diaspora' in Japan / Regina Yoshie Matsue; Two Faces of God: Religion & Social Class in the Brazilian Diaspora in Sydney / Cristina Rocha; PART THREE: SOUTH ASIAN EXPERIENCE Hindu Processions, Diaspora & Religious Pluralism / Knut A.
