Scientific analysis of correlation between natural factors and annual festivals around the globe/Bal Ram Singh and Kalyan Chakravarthi. Index. This presentation of Vedic and Upanisadic ideas of understanding and Ahimsa addresses some of the most urgent global problems in today's world. The scholarly articles elaborate on principles of Ahimsa as practised by the Buddhist and Jain traditions and by Mahatma Gandhi. Here scholars from India and other parts of Asia as well as the west explore the scientific and systematic nature of life of the Vedic people. They examine aspects relating to linguistics the Indian epic literature and Advaita and study many individual topics like state of consciousness in Indian philosophy and concept of time in Indian heritage. They delve into the meaning and message of the Upanisads as extremely relevant to us in the present century. A study examines festivals to determine the correlation between annual festivals and natural factors and conducts a scientific analysis that establishes a relation between lunar phases and human physiology and more generally the relation between calendar and culture. The thought provoking articles present insights into the vision of Dharmic traditions for nourishing mutual appreciation and respect among religious traditions. They also reveal the abuses and distortions that the tradition has suffered from within over the ages and call for a scientific analysis of human traditions so that their time tested values can prove relevant to the present day. 846 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. Introduction. I. Global peace and harmony. II. Vedanta. III. Health and Ayurveda. IV. Dialogue. V. Education. VI. Epics. VII. History. VIII. Science. IX. Dharma Yoga and Vrata. X. Socio-economic and political. Index. The collection of sc…holarly articles presented in the volume explores various aspects of Vedic traditions, especially relating to global harmony and peace, in the present-day context. The Proceedings of the Sixth World Association for Vedic Studies (WAVES) Conference emphasise Vedic traditions as not confined to the Indian subcontinent today but as having spread to different parts of the globe. They deal with the essence of Vedanta, the contribution of the epic literature, history relating to the Rgvedic Aryans, Vedic sciences, and socio-economic and political aspects of Vedic life. Offering fresh ideas, they highlight the significance of the Vedic system for ensuring global peace and harmony, and satisfaction in the present. They study the concept of harmony and peace, and emphasise on the co-existence in the Upanishads, the Hindu concept of universalism, the importance of the Ayurveda and the Bhagavad-Gita in maintaining mental health, and on the global unity and syncretism in the education provided in ancient India. Attempts are made to cull out management ideas from the Mahabharata, and throw light on the relevance of the Arthashastra in modern-day geo-politics and the special relevance of Sanatana Dharma in the modern world. In the process, the scholars reveal the fictional aspects that have been linked to the Indian traditions and the related social evils. The volume will interest a range of scholars of Indology and general readers as it explores the ancient Indian tradition, especially the Vedic tradition, in a comprehensive manner. (jacket).
