Amar Chitra Katha/ACK Media, 2010. Softcover. New. Madhvacharya taught men to look upon the world of matter and souls as real instead of as illusory and unreal in a philosophical sense. He therefore put forward a fresh ontological classification of reality into two orders, Svatantra and Paratantra - independent and dependent. God alone is the one independent reality. Hence the name Dvaita (dualism) given to his system. Madhva freed the concept of Bhakti from the clutches of blind faith and placed it in its right perspective as informed faith in, and love of God, both based on a right understanding of his glory. He also rescued it from the pitfalls of sentimentalism, eroticism and other maladies. Madhva lived a robust life of 79 years. He was a prolific writer in Sanskrit prose and verse. He wrote thirty-nine works which are collectively known as Sarvamula. These include commentaries on Rig Veda, Upanishads, Gita, Brahmasutras, Mahabharata, Bhagawat and critical works on logic and metaphysics, rituals and sadachara (right conduct). He also wrote a number of devotional hymns. The Chaitanya Sampradaya of Bengal is deeply indebted to Madhva`s philosophy in many respects. It includes in its guruparampara Madhva and his successors, Jayatirtha and Vyasatirtha. The followers of Madhva are found on Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra, Maharashtra, Goa and U.P. Madhva`s system has made a massive contribution to Indian philosophy through the writings of great commentators such as Jayatirtha, Vyasatirtha, Raghuthama, Vadiraja and Raghavendra, to mention only a few. The Haridasas of Karnataka, owing allegiance to Madhva philosophy, such as Purandara Dasa, Kanaka Dasa and Jagannatha Dasa have made equally significant contributions to Kannada religious literature.

Summing up the life of Sri Ramakrishna, will Durant, in his The Story of Civilization, writes: " All religions are good, he taught his followers; `All rivers flow to the ocean. Flow and let others flow too! He tolerated sympathetically the polytheism of the people and accepted humbly the monism of the philosophers; but in his own living faith God was a spirit incarnated in all men and the only true worship of God was the loving service of mankind."

Good. 342 pages; spine creasing, edge wear; It is just before the outbreak of World War I and Britain must enlist the aide of Russia. Czar Nicholas's nephew is to visit London for secret naval talks with Lord Walden, who has lived in Russia and has a Russian wife, Lydia. But there are other people who are interested in the arrival of Prince Alexei: the Waldens' only daughter, Charlotte -- willful, idealistic, and with an awakening social conscience; Basil Thompson, head of the Special Branch; and, above all, Feliks Kschessinky, the ruthless Russian anarchist. No one could have foretold that Lydia should recognize Feliks, or that she might put her own daughter's life at risk for his sake. As the secret negotiations progress, the destinies of these characters become ineluctably enmeshed. And as Europe prepares for the catastrophe of war, the final private tragedy which will shatter the complacency of the Waldens is acted out., Signet, 1983-05-02, Twenty-Third Publications. Paperback.

This remarkably dark, funny and spiritually anguished novel begins as Slavitt's narrator, a down-and-out journalist for a sleazy Florida tabloid, writes up the life of a victim of a mass-murder at the local Piggly-Wiggly. Conducting his gruesomely offhand investigation, he introduces the reader to his philosophy of why things occur as they do, citing the works of an 18th-century rationalist philosopher named Malebranche, who believed all things happen through the will of God, and that individual destiny has nothing to do with cause and effect. The narrator's twisted ruminations take on coherence as we learn of his recent loss of both wife and daughter in a car accident, and of the souring of his career as a university professor, which led him in a fit of self-loathing to write for the tabloids. As he drifts aimlessly from one tabloid sensation to another, he discovers similarities between his sort of journalism and The Lives of the Saints , juxtaposing today's lurid headlines with the equally lurid and absurd martyrdoms of old. Slavitt's ( Salazar Blinks ) writing is elegant, sinister and witty, as affecting as Nabokov's, as original as Nathanael West's. contemporary,fiction,literature and fiction Literature & Fiction, Scribner<
