Paperback. Zustand: Good. A translation of the ??vara G?t?, a parallel text to the Bhagavad G?t? that promotes religious inclusion.While the Bhagavad G?t? is an acknowledged treasure of world spiritual literature, few people know a parallel text, the??vara G?t? This lesser-known work is also dedicated to a god, but in this case it is ?iva, rather than K???a, who is depicted as the omniscient creator of the world. Andrew J. Nicholson's Lord ?iva's Song makes this text available in English in an accessible new translation. A work of both poetry and philosophy, the ??vara G?t? builds on the insights of Patañjali's Yoga S?tra and foreshadows later developments in tantric yoga. It deals with the pluralistic religious environment of early medieval India through an exploration of the relationship between the gods ?iva and Vi??u.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Some postcolonial theorists argue that the idea of a single system of belief known as Hinduism is a creation of nineteenth-century British imperialists. Andrew J. Nicholson introduces another perspective: although a unified Hindu identity is not as ancient as some Hindus claim, it has its roots in innovations within South Asian philosophy from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. During this time, thinkers treated the philosophies of Vedanta, Samkhya, and Yoga, along with the worshippers of Visnu, Siva, and Sakti, as belonging to a single system of belief and practice. Instead of seeing such groups as separate and contradictory, they re-envisioned them as separate rivers leading to the ocean of Brahman, the ultimate reality. Drawing on the writings of philosophers from late medieval and early modern traditions, including Vijnanabhiksu, Madhava, and Madhusudana Sarasvati, Nicholson shows how influential thinkers portrayed Vedanta philosophy as the ultimate unifier of diverse belief systems. This project paved the way for the work of later Hindu reformers, such as Vivekananda, Radhakrishnan, and Gandhi, whose teachings promoted the notion that all world religions belong to a single spiritual unity. In his study, Nicholson also critiques the way in which Eurocentric concepts like monism and dualism, idealism and realism, theism and atheism, and orthodoxy and heterodoxy have come to dominate modern discourses on Indian philosophy.
