  • DIMENSIONS of GOOD and EVIL the Moral Universe and Vaiñëava Philosophy by Suhotra Swami
    DIMENSIONS OF GOOD AND EVIL The Moral Universe and Vaiñëava Philosophy by Suhotra Swami nétir asmi jigéñatäm “Of those who seek victory I am morality.” ( Bhagavad-gétä 10.38) INTRODUCTION We experience ourselves subject to conditions imposed by nature. We experience ourselves subject to laws, natural and man-made, that govern our interaction with other living entities. Finally we experience ourselves subject to the disposition of our bodies and minds. In short, matter shapes life into these three dimensions of experience, which in Sanskrit are termed ädhidaivika, ädhibhautika and ädhyätmika. Western philosophy calls them the macrocosm, mesocosm and microcosm. The first is the vast, all-enveloping natural universe. The second is the “middle” ( meso ) universe of our relations with other sentient beings. The third is a private universe known inwardly by each individual. The Vedic teachings point to a transcendental dimension experienced by the soul liberated from the powers of matter. But were it not for our values, what sense could we make of these dimensions of experience? Experience is but a moment-by-moment presentment of choices in the world and in ourselves. In making choices, we rely on our values. In this book I propose five dimensions of value. 1 The first is the dimension of sensory value. This is "the school of hard knocks." Once as a boy I put my hand into the back of a radio and received a shock. After that, I was leery of handling electronic equipment. We might call the experience of an electric shock "a matter of fact." Within the dimension of sensory value we also experience ”matters of taste"--for example, that I prefer strawberries over gooseberries.

  • 343 Indian Religions
    Book Reviews / Numen 55 (2008) 340–359 343 Indian Religions: Renaissance and Renewal. Edited by Anna S. King. London: Equinox, 2006, xix and 412 pp. Cost (in the United States): $90. ISBN 978- 1-84553-169-0. Th e eighteen articles in this volume grew from papers delivered at the 2006 Spalding Symposium on Indian Religions. Th e Symposium featured both newer and more advanced scholars who presented papers on a variety of topics and traditions of India (but especially Hinduism and Buddhism). Th e volume is only lightly edited, and retains the inconsistencies of citation style, translit- eration (e.g., Śaṃkara, Śankara, Śaṅkara, and Shankara all appear), and termi- nology (e.g., “Hinayana” versus “Th eravada”) one would expect in a collection of conference papers. Moreover, the Spalding Symposia are not generally ori- ented around a specific theme, and though there is some implicit conversation between and among the various articles in this volume, as a whole it lacks the cohesion of collections with more focused themes, having instead, as King puts it in her introduction, “the character of a scholarly journal” (xii). Th ere- fore, while the volume’s value is occasionally greater than the sum of its parts, it is not significantly so. Th at is not to say, however, that there are not some rather impressive and provocative parts. Indian Religions is divided into four sections. Klaus Klostermaier opens the first section, “Challenging Paradigms” with an article entitled “Hinduism — Hindutva — Hindu Dharma.” In this article, which King’s introduction sug- gests “undoubtedly evoked the most passionate, and even hostile, responses” (xii), Klostermaier argues that the true Hindu Renaissance (usually associated with the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries) is happening right now through the work of the Sangh Parivar and other exponents of Hindutva ide- ologies.

    Hindu Mythology, Religion 4990 1 HINDU MYTHOLOGY – OF GODS, SAGES & COWHERD MAIDENS _____________________________________________________________________ Jonathan B. Edelmann, Ph.D. Philosophy & Religion Department 53 Morgan Ave, (662) 325-2382 Office HoUrs: 11-12 AM, T & H [email protected] ABOUT THIS COURSE This course examines Classical Myth in the Hindu Traditions, or the narrations about the Gods, Goddesses, Sages, Kings and Queens of Indian, which form the basis for Hindu religious practice, theology and self-identity. H. Rodrigues writes: “While the term ‘myth’ is commonly used to mean a false belief, religious studies scholars use it to refer to narratives that are believed to be true by adherents of a particular tradition” (Introduction to the Study of Religion). The Greek word mythos meant “authoritative speech,” “story” or “plot,” but today scholars mean it as “a traditional story with collective importance.” Ancient and contemporary Hindus take myths seriously; this course provides an overview of the central divine characters, stories, and imagery found in Hindu sacred literature. We will examine the manner in which mythology teaches central Hindu philosophical, cosmological and theological concepts. Known for its richness, spirituality and imaginative beauty, we will examine how divine myth, yoga practice and theology are intertwined in some of humanity’s oldest reflections on absolute reality.
