We lost our knowledge wealth. Our books were so thoroughly destroyed that out of the 4000 books of Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit literature translated into Tibetan, hardly 200 were extant in this country. The Europeans, after the discovery of Sanskrit, found their own new identity, and new roots. Amaury de Riencourt, in his The Soul of India says that philosophers like Schelling, Fichte, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Schleiermacher, poets such as Goethe, Schillar, Novalis, Tieck and Brentano, historians like Herder and Schlegel, all acclaimed the discovery of Indian culture with cries of ecstasy: “India, the home of Universal religion, the cradle of the noblest human race, of all literature, of all philosophies and metaphysics.” He further adds that “this enthusiasm was not confined to Germany. The entire Romantic movement in the West put Indian culture on a high pedestal which the preceding Classical Movement had reserved for Greece and Rome.” This, however, came in the way of the interests of the (a) Christian Missionaries, and (b) the British Empire. Many Orientalists, who expected the harvest of souls for Christianity as the result of such studies, were not happy.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the workings of the Euro- American Indic scholars after the departure of colonial power. The deconstructionist study of India by American universities mostly focus on the study of minorities, women and Dalits, which aim at social divide; invading the Hindu sacred by Wendy Doniger and her children ultimately aim at robbing the Hindus’ of their reverence for the sacred, with ultimate aim of conversion. Sheldon Pollock has re-packaged the ‘Aryan Aggression Theory.’ It is just like the old wine in the new bottle. Sheldon Pollock, Professor of South Asian Studies in Columbia University, a Padmashri awardee of Government of India, and an established American scholar, is also a political creature with his client scholars in India. When a section of JNU students were celebrating the martyrdom of a Jihadi, and announcing the disintegration of India, Pollock came out openly in support of the those students, and for defending the freedom of expression and the their right of dissent. Pollock openly took anti-Hindu stand during post-Godhra Gujarat developments.

It appeared as if the country was waiting with bated breath, not so much for how the results would pan out in the above states, but rather how the BJP as a party would fare in them. Hence, Assam was of great interest to political observers as it was the one state where the BJP had the greatest chance of forming a government. And indeed the BJP has got itself a strong foothold to make its presence in the so-called Christian dominated states of the North-East. There are several factors that came together for the BJP in Assam. Firstly, the Party chose its alliance partners very strategically.

  • GANDHI a Pictorial Biography
    GANDHI a pictorial biography Written by: B. R. Nanda First Published : January 1972 Published by: The Director, Publications Division Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Government of India Patiala House, New Delhi 110 001 Website: www.publicationsdivision.nic.in GANDHI a pictorial biography This is the first pictorial biography of Gandhi in which the narrative-concise, readable and incisive is illustrated with contemporary photographs and facsimiles of letters, newspaper reports and cartoons, adding up to a fascinating flash-back on the life of Mahatma Gandhi and the struggle for Indian freedom led by him. There is a skilful matching in this book of text and illustrations, of description and analysis and of concrete detail and large perspective. This pictorial biography will revive many memories in those who have lived through the Gandhian era; it should also be of interest to the post- independence generation. www.mkgandhi.org Page 2 GANDHI a pictorial biography Sevagram ashram near Wardha in Maharashtra founded by Gandhiji in 1936. In January 1948, before three pistol shots put an end to his life, Gandhi had been on the political stage for more than fifty years. He had inspired two generations of India, patriots, shaken an empire and sparked off a revolution which was to change the face of Africa and Asia. To millions of his own people, he was the Mahatma- the great soul- whose sacred glimpse was a reward in itself. By the end of 1947 he had lived down much of the suspicion, ridicule and opposition which he had to face, when he first raised the banner of revolt against racial exclusiveness and imperial domination.

  • Vedanta in the West: Past, Present, and Future
    Vedanta in the West: Past, Present, and Future Swami Chetanananda What Is Vedanta? Vedanta is the culmination of all knowledge, the sacred wisdom of the Indian sages, the sum of the transcendental experiences of the seers of Truth. It is the essence, or the conclusion, of the scriptures known as the Vedas. Because the Upanishads come at the end of the Vedas they are collectively referred to as Vedanta. Literally, Veda means "knowledge" and anta means "end." Vedanta is a vast subject. Its scriptures have been evolving for the last five thousand years. The three basic scriptures of Vedanta are the Upanishads (the revealed truths), the Brahma Sutras (the reasoned truths), and the Bhagavad Gita (the practical truths). Some Teachings from Vedanta Here are some teachings from the Upanishads: “Arise! Awake! Approach the great teachers and learn.” “Aham Brahmasmi.” [I am Brahman.] “Tawamasi.” [Thou art That.] “Sarvam khalu idam Brahma.” [Verily, everything is Brahman.] “Whatever exists in this changing universe is enveloped by God.” “If a man knows Atman here, he then aains the true goal of life.” “Om is the bow; the Atman is the arrow; Brahman is said to be the mark. It is to be struck by an undistracted mind.” “He who knows Brahman becomes Brahman.” “His hands and feet are everywhere. His eyes, heads, and mouths are everywhere. His ears are everywhere. He pervades everything in the universe.” “Speak the truth. Practise dharma. Do not neglect your study of the Vedas. Treat your mother as God. Treat your father as God. Treat your teacher as God.

Some German writers came in contact with Ancient Indian Literature. They were influenced by the Indian Philosophy, especially, Buddhism. German Philosopher Arther Schopenhauer, was very much influenced by the Philosophy of Buddhism. He made the ancient Indian Literature accessible to the German people. Many other authors and philosophers were influenced by Schopenhauer. The famous German Indologist, Friedrich Max Muller has also done a great work, as far as the contact between India and Germany is concerned. He has translated “Sacred Books of the East”. INDIAN PHILOSOPHY IN GERMAN WRITINGS Some other German authors were also influenced by Indian Philosophy, the traces of which can be found in their writings. Paul Deussen was a great scholar of Sanskrit. He wrote “Allgemeine Geschichte der Philosophie (General History of the Philosophy). Friedrich Nieztsche studied works of Schopenhauer in detail.

  • The Philosophy of the Vedanta in Its Relations to the Occidental Metaphysics by Dr
    Adyar Pamphlets The Philosophy of the Vedanta in Its Relations... No. 136 The Philosophy of the Vedanta in Its Relations to the Occidental Metaphysics by Dr. Paul Deussen, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Kiel, Germany An address, delivered before the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, Saturday the 25th February, 1893 Published in 1930 Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai [Madras] India The Theosophist Office, Adyar, Madras. India [Page 1] ON my journey through India I have noticed with satisfaction, that in philosophy till now our brothers in the East have maintained a very good tradition, better perhaps, than the more active but less contemplative branches of the great Indo-Aryan family in Europe, where Empirism, Realism and their natural consequence, Materialism, grow from day to day more exuberantly, whilst metaphysics, the very center and heart of serious philosophy, are supported only by a few ones, who have learned to brave the spirit of the age. In India the influence of this perverted and pervasive spirit of our age has not yet overthrown in religion and philosophy the good traditions of the great ancient time. It is true, that most of the ancient darsanas even in India find only an historical interest; followers of the Sãnkhya-System occur rarely; Nyãya is cultivated mostly as an intellectual sport and exercise, like grammar or mathematics, but the Vedãntic is, now as in the ancient time living in the mind and heart of every thoughtful Hindu. It is true, that even here in the [Page 2] sanctuary of Vedãntic metaphysics, the realistic tendencies, natural to man, have penetrated, producing the misinterpreting variations of Shankara's Adwaita, known under the names Visishtãdwaita, Dwaita, Cuddhãdwaita of Rãmanuja, Mãdhva, Vallabha, but India till now has not yet been seduced by their voices, and of hundred Vedãntins (I have it from a well informed man, who is himself a zealous adversary of Shankara and follower of Rãmãnuja) fifteen perhaps adhere to Rãmãnuja, five to Madhva, five to Vallabha, and seventy-five to Shankarãchãrya.
