• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Taking a cue from the seminal work on Hindutva by Vinayak Damodar (Veer) Savarkar, this concise book provides eight foundational pillars of Hindutva for the 21st century that rival the five pillars of Islam as a unifying belief system and enables a people to establish and preserve their legacy.The book presents a moderate, compassionate voice that focuses on the essence of being a Hindu and is divested of any notion of nation building.Now with minor editorial updates and closer conformity to the IAST transliteration scheme for the Sanskrit words.

Autorenporträt

With diverse interests that range from philosophy, architectural design, computational modeling, Poetry, Music and Art, to culinary delights and travel, Ganapathy Mahalingam has that strong curiosity to learn about the world around him, and to wonder about all the things that remain to be discovered and done. As a person who seeks to understand all the traditions that seek to understand, he is on a quest that is comprehensive, integrative and ultimately...enlightening...in the sense of an experience in which all burdens are lifted. Another experience of enlightenment that he yearns for...is being awash in a light...that purifies the mind and rids it of accumulated traces...traces the ancients in India called samskaras...achieving the purity of freedom from all that is made! He believes that this quest will be fulfilled when we understand our own minds...in a single act of consciousness...foretold in the Advaitic tradition of India as...tat tvam asi...which he would be bold enough to translate unconventionally as...abide in That!
