A Gift of *Illumination* before Deepavali ! Ways to Truth!

[Guest guest]

My Dearest Fellow Advaitins :

 

It gives me great pleasure to share with you that Shri Shri Ananda

Wood's long awaited book ' Ways to Truth : A View of Hindu Tradition

has now bben published and is available at :

 

http://www.dkprintworld.com

 

The book is very reasonably priced at $ 27.50 (Inclusive of air

(SAL) postage)

 

What is this book all about ?

 

" How then can we understand the Hindu tradition as alive today with

its ancient emphasis upon the spoken word and the living individual?

That is the question which this book investigates. Accordingly, it

asks for a broader understanding of history, which would allow for a

rightful accounting of the Vedas and of other oral learning.

 

Through its continued emphasis upon the living word, the Hindu

tradition asks for a deeper understanding of reasoned enquiry. Such

reasons do not work primarily through mechanical instruments in the

restricted way that modern physics does. Instead, it works

essentially through a reflective investigation of our living

faculties, which are thus cultivated and clarified.

 

The goal of truth is not here sought through an institutional

consensus; but rather as a common ground, which is approached quite

differently through different personalities and institutions of

culture. "

 

i would encourage all members here to take a look and may be even

write a book review at amazon.com.The book is coveniently divided

into many headings and sub headings and there is something for every

jignasu in this book ! From the Purusharthas to the Schools of

thought and everything in between , Anandaji has covered quite a lot

of territory of Hindu Philosophy .

 

Join me in congratulating Anandaji on his valiant effort and let us

offer him full support and encouragement in spreading the timeless

philsosophy of Vedanta worldwide!

 

The art work on the cover is very appealing with the Shiva linga

emblem !

 

TAMASO mAA JYOTIRGAMAYA!

 

where ignorance ends , knowledge dawns !

 

Hari Aum Tat sat !

True ! Very true! It is also available on the internet !

 

Yes! Truth is all around you; but the real significance of owning a

Book of this nature is 'Truth Travels ' with you whether you are on

a plane or a train or even when you are lying down in bed after a

hard day's work! Many of us book lovers love to read a book first

hand instead of reading the contents of the book from an internet

source. Authors spend many long hours writing a book , rewriting it

and editing it and giving final touches to it . They never get

compensated properly both for their time and efforts ; more so ,

Authors of vedantic books ! Book writing is an expensive hobby and

for some people it is also a full time Vocation . The only

compensation the author gets is the 'persona' satisfaction of

penning his /her thoughts in an organized fashion!

 

I once again urge all members to invest in this book and let us join

together to offer all the support to one of the most learned

Advaitins of all times , Shri Ananda wood , a worthy disciple of a

worthy teacher , Shri Atmananda!

 

Paiji , you wanted to always learn about the distinction between

Jati and varna , here is your best chance !

 

Anandaji does not need my support ; but i need your support in

promoting Truth - 'Ways to Truth' - buy it now ; read it and write

your first review at amazon.com and the member to do so will be

awarded a handsome gift of $51.00 ! This is my humble way of showing

my appreciation for Anandaji's efforts in promoting a timeless

philosophy!

 

love and regards
