Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. One of the reasons why Indian thought and Indian civilization make so fascinating a field of study and research lies in their unique history and remarkable structure. Indian civilization has its roots in an ancient The plan of this work dealing with literature of India, reflects, not only the increase in factual knowledge and the widening of our horizon, but also the changed attitudes of the last sixty years. While much space is allotted to Sanskrit literature, the literary works written in the Middle Indian languages receive extensive treatment and much more importance than was possible in Winternitz times. A considerable part of the material contained in this book contains wealth of fresh information while material found in other works have been enlarged and made up-to-date. A History of Indian Literature was published originally between 1975 and 1987 in 10 volumes.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book tries to give an introductory survey of Hindu Tantrism. It is a product of joint effort. The three authors, although solely responsible for the parts written by them, have consulted together on the whole. This, they hope, has resulted in a certain levelling of differences of approach as well as in the purging, as much as possible, of mutual contradictions. Nevertheless, the reader will detect differences in the method of description and in the appreciation and selection of the sources; but in the authors' view this need not detract from the character of the book as a volume of the Handbuch destined for a general but scholarly introduction to the field.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 4th Edition. Visnuism is one of the chief religions of the Hindus and the Pancaratra is the oldest surviving Visnuite sect. The influence of its tenets on later Visnuism has undoubtedly been great, but has never been thoroughly explored. Despite change and corruption the ritual worship described in the old Pancaratra texts is still performed today in many of the famous temples in southern India and in some in the north. A deeper insight into the historical development of the Visnuite sects, into their ritual, occultism and building of temples and images can only be obtained from the scientific study of these ancient Pancaratra texts which formulate the relevant basic concepts. The theological and ritualistic aspects of the Pancaratra system have attracted scholars for some time past and a number of texts have been edited. Some of these publications are of a high standard and include illuminating introductions. The reason why the author has chosen to translate the text of the Laksmi Tantra is because its philosophical pronouncements incorporate many of the sectís earlier traditions. A second reason is because of its occultism, which throws light on an aspect of the Pancaratra system that is not dealt with in any other known text. However, keeping the size of this book she has refrained from discussing the interesting topic of ritualistic esoterism. Among the vast number of Pancaratra Agamic texts the Laksmi Tantra stands out because it deals almost exclusively with Laksmi. The divine creative impulse, intelligence, potency, potentiality, power, majesty and speech. The focus of the text is on Pancaratra philosophy (including cosmogony) and the practice of yoga based on it, with its attendent Mantra Sastra. By dealing with the role of Sakti in the creation and maintenance of the world, totally rely on God`s mercy and benevolence, the Laksmi Tantra succeeds in overcoming sectarian boundaries. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach to rethink the multiple dimensions of marginality - political, societal, economic, cultural, legal and spatial. It explores their new representations in colonial and post-colonial India. Departing from extant analyses of experiences of marginalization in diverse social groups, it proposes to problematize the conceptualization of marginality, focusing on its evolution through space and time. A relational position, marginality, it is argued, presupposes a confrontation with centrality or the 'mainstream' within a common discourse of knowledge and power. The volume emphasizes that the process of marginalization is not a 'marginal' phenomenon and draws attention to the historical processes which determine, establish and perpetuate the margins.The book reflects on varied aspects of evolving marginalities - structural, cultural and psychological - in South Asia in diverse temporal, spatial or societal contexts. It examines the discourses, institutional mechanisms and economic processes within which marginalities are located. This work will be an important read for scholars and researchers of history, anthropology, subaltern studies, exclusion studies, South Asian history, post-colonial studies, political studies, Indian history, cultural studies and history, in general.…
