Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Ever since the appearance of Geetanjali creating something of a storm in the Western literary world of the day and winning him the Nobel Prize, Tagore came to be projected as a prophet-poet clad in flowing gown exuding the mystic spiritual wisdom of the East. This packaging has impeded a genuine appreciation of his many sided literary accomplishments. It is not widely known that Tagore was as prolific in prose as in poetry. A master stylist of Bengali prose, he was an outstanding novelist, an exquisite short story writer, a great playwright, an indefatigable letter writer. And, Tagore was a very fine essayist. He was not an ascetic world renouncer or the proverbial inhabitant of the sequestered bower. His supple mind, in fact, was ever keenly sensitive to the things and events happening around him and ever ready to react and respond to them. He wrote on diverse social and political issues that impinged on the lives of people and agitated the public mind. A few of such essays translated into English from original Bengali are being presented here. A sturdy commitment to a deep universalism - the obligation that every human being has by virtue of being human - informs all these essays. This commitment at its core is actually a moral commitment.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 'Veda Mimamsa, as the name denotes is an investigation into the mystery of the Veda. Delving deep into the nature of Vedic literature, the moorings and reflections contained in it and the various modes of its interpretations down the ages, Sri Anirvan in this epoch making book of his through his deep insight, profound understanding, threadbare and lucid analysis has unveiled the real meaning of the mystic language of Veda tearing apart the misconceptions surrounding it. These misconceptions grew, Anirvan reflected, out of the misinterpretations of modern Indologists who unfortunately projected and popularized the notion that Veda was a senseless ritualistic doctrine created by premature primitive minds. Anirvan has made it clear that Veda is primarily the storehouse of spiritual knowledge and that the diverse spiritual and religious thoughts and practices flowing through India over the centuries are in fact drawn from the same source stream of perennial spiritual praxis and wisdom contained in the Veda. Anirvan has looked into the poetical philosophy of Vedic seers and has also shed a new light in the modes of interpretation by explaining that the direct luminous perception (Cinmaya pratyaksvada) should be the right approach to proper understanding of the Veda and also of the ethos that created such luminous and voluminous body of literature.…
