Ganpati'The Songs of the Self/John A. Grimes.Sri Satguru. Delhi Reprint. 1996, xx, 231 p., figures, Rs.345."Ganapati : Song of the Self presents a wide-range of information about Ganapati/Ganesa, the Hindu Lord of beginnings, the keeper of the threshold, the remover of obstacles, master of the mind, son of Siva, elephant-headed, plump and loveable, gathered from such diverse sources as hymns, poems, myths, shrines, practices, and theologies. However, besides being a handy reference work, the book is also an attempt to understand this information from within a tradition, and further, to follow how that understanding may have universal connotations."Ganapati is found everywhere: in temples, in wayside shrines, in homes, in devotee's hearts. His praises are sung. He is worshipped and adored. He is represented in art and literature. Stories are told about him. The thinkers think, the scholars scholasticise, the devotees worship. But what is Ganapati's hidden meaning? Who is he really? Side by side, seemingly incongruous facts are simultaneously found. Ganapati: An enormous popularity which transcends sectarian and territorial limits; a seemingly rather late, yet dramatic, full-blown appearance into a religious pantheon; a confusing, conflicting, yet interesting and intriguing mythology; and an elephant's head atop a plump human body! This book considers this complexity of Ganapati lore and presents possible ways of understanding it

Basics of Indian Philosophy
Tradition and ReflectionExplorations in Indian ThoughtBy Wilhelm HalbfassSri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-300-1Price: Rs. 400
Contents:Preface. 1. The idea of the Veda and the identity of Hinduism. 2. The presence of the Veda in Indian philosophical reflection. 3.Vedic orthodoxy and the plurality of religious traditions. 4. Vedic apologetics, ritual killing, and the foundations of ethics. 5. Human reason and Vedic revelation in Advaita Vedanta. 6. Sankara, the Yoga of Patanjali, and the so-called Yogasutrabhasyavivarana. 7. The therapeutic paradigm and the search for identity in Indian philosophy. 8. Man and Self in traditional Indian thought. 9. Competing causalities: Karma, Vedic rituals, and the natural world. 10. Homo hierarchicus: the conceptualization of the Varna system in Indian thought. Index.
About the Book
This book examines, above all, the relationship between reason and Vedic revelation, and the philosophical responses to the idea of the Veda. It deals with such topics as dharma, karma and rebirth, the role of man in the universe, the motivation and justification of human actions, the relationship between ritual norms and universal ethics, and reflections on the goals and sources of human knowledge.
Halbfass presents previously unknown materials concerning the history of sectarian movements, including the notorious "Thags" (thaka), and relations between Indian and Iranian thought. The approach is partly philosophical and partly historical and philological; to a certain extent, it is also comparative.
The author explores indigenous Indian reflections on the sources, the structure and the meaning of the Hindu tradition, and traditional philosophical responses to social and historical realities. He does not deal with social and historical realities per se; rather, basing his work on the premise that to understand these realities the reflections and constructions of traditional Indian theorists are no less significant than the observations and paradigms of modern western historians and social scientists, he explores the self-understanding of such leading thinkers as Sankara, Kumarila, Bhartrhari and Udayana.

The Central Conception of Buddhism
The Central Conception of Buddhism (Bibliotheca Indo Buddhica Series No. 91)By Th. StcherbatskySri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN: 81-7030-280-3Price: Rs.70
About the Book
The Book explains in detail the principle of Radical Pluralism which asserts that the elements alone are realities while every combination of them is a mere name covering a plurality of separate elements. The conception of a dharma is the central point of the Buddhist doctrine. In the light of this conception Buddhism discloses itself as a metaphysical theory developed out of one fundamental principle, viz. the idea that existence is an interplay of a plurality of subtle, ultimate, not further analysable elements of Matter, Mind, and Forces. These elements are technically called dharmas, a meaning which this word has in this system alone. Buddhism, accordingly, can be characterized as a system of Radical Pluralism. The book is divided into sixteen sections dealing with the Skandhas, Ayatanas, Dhatus, Elements of matter, Elements of mind, Forces, Anatma, Pratityasamutpada, Karma, Impermanence of the Elements, Impermanence in Sankhya-Yoga, Unrest of the Elements, Theory of Cognition, Pre-Buddhaic Buddhism etc.
It has two appendices dealing with the views of Vasubandhu on the fundamental principles of Sarvastivada and classification of all elements of existence according to the Sarvastivadins. The two indices record proper names and Sanskrit terms occuring in the work.
Contents:
: Preface. 1. Preliminary. 2. Skandhas. 3. Ayatanas. 4. Dhatus. 5. Elements of matter. 6. Elements of mind. 7. Forces. 8. Non-substantiality of elements. 9. Pratitya Samutpada (Causality). 10. Karma. 11. Impermanence of the elements. 12. Impermanence in Sankhya Yoga. 13. Unrest of the elements. 14. Theory of cognition. 15. Pre-Buddhaic Buddhism. 16. SummaryAppendix: 1. Vasubandhu on the fundamental principle of the Sarvastivada SchoolAppendix: 2. Tables of the elements according to the Sarvastivadins. Index of proper names, Index of Sanskrit terms

Shaiva Devotional Songs of Kashmir..... Kashmir Shaivism
Shaiva Devotional Songs of Kashmir : A Translation and Study of Utpaladeva’s Shivastotravali/Constantina Rhodes Bailly. Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1990, x,196 p., ISBN 81-7030-242-0. Rs.200
Contents: Introduction. 1. The first song: the pleasure of devotion. 2. The Second Song: contemplation of the All-Soul. 3. The third song: the gift of affection. 4. The fourth song: Potent Nectar. 5. The fifth song: the command of powers. 6. The sixth song: tremblings along the journey.7. The seventh Song: victory over separation. 8. The eighth song: unearthly strength. 9. The ninth song: The triumph of freedom. 10. The tenth song: breaking the continuity. 11. The eleventh song: bound to the world by desire. 12. The twelfth song: particulars of the arcane lore. 13. The thirteenth song: in summary…. 14. The fourteenth song: song of glorification. 15. The fifteenth song: about devotion. 16. The sixteenth song: breaking out of the fetters. 17. The seventeenth song: a high regard for divine amusements. 18. The eighteenth song: becoming clear. 19. The nineteenth song: the meaning revealed. 20. The twentieth song: the meaning savored. Appendices. Notes. Bibliography. Index.
"Utpaladeva was considered a siddha, a "perfected being, "one of the masters of the tantric tradition in Kashmir, and he is best known for his philosophical treatises. The Shivastotravali reflects Utpaladeva’s philosophy, known as the Pratyabhijna school. And yet it is unique among the author’s work in its not being a straightforward philosophical treatise but instead, as Dr. Bailly points out in her introduction, more of a spiritual diary of one who is actually treading the path of Shiva. The path that Utpaladeva has chosen does not require leaving one’s home and heading for mountain cave; instead it calls for changing one’s view of the world, for leading a life of divine recognition while carrying on with ordinary life.
"In clearly written, lucid prose, Dr. Bailly illuminates the many faces of Utpaladeva’s quest. At the core of his spiritual journey is the enigmatic relationship between devotion and grace: how much does spiritual attainment depend upon the individual’s efforts, and how much is a divine gift? And how are these to be realized while living in the midst of society, maintaining worldly obligations and lifestyle?
"For over a thousand years the Shaiva community of Kashmir has used in its worship the hymns of Utpaladeva’s Shivastotravali. Here for the first time these hymns are presented in translation as English verse along with the Sanskrit, a clear and lively introduction, two appendices on special aspects of Kashmir Shaivism, and additional notes

Ethics of Tibet/ Alex Wayman
Ethics of TibetBodhisattva Section of Tsong-Kha-Pa’s Lam Rim Chen MoTranslated from the Tibetan original by Alex WaymanSri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-324-9279 pages
Price: Rs.400
Contents: Foreword/ Dalai Lama. Introduction. I. Precepts for the great person: 1. Teaching that only the generation of the thought is the door of entrance. 2. The method of generating that thought. 3. The stages of exercising the thought of enlightenment, Part I. 4. The stages of exercising the thought of enlightenment, Part II. 5. Taking it ritually. 6. The method of practicing the career after having generated the thought. 7. Exposition of the steps of practicing the instruction. 8. Perfection of giving. 9. Perfection of morality. 10. Perfection of forbearance.
"One of the great contributions of Tibetan Buddhism to the Buddhist tradition as a whole, and one of the things that distinguishes it from the Mahayana traditions that developed via China, has been the clear and systematic articulation of a doctrine of compassion. This text is perhaps the paradigmatic expression of that and as such is vitally important. It will advance Western access to and understanding of Tibetan Buddhism considerably.
"One of the leading Tibetan scholars in the world has translated this work by the great Tsong-kha-pa, the titular head of the Ge-lug-pa sect and perhaps the Tibetan equivalent of the great Nagarjuna. This first complete English translator also reveals the encyclopeadic mind of Tsong-kha-pa, whose copious references to the sutras are a gold mine. He, more than anyone else, shaped the development of Tibetan Buddhism as we know it today.
"This book is very interesting and easy to read, because it is a systematic, step-by-step analysis of the conditions necessary for the progress in spiritual attainment, from the awakening of the mind of enlightenment (Bodhicitta) to the final insight (Prajna). It is definitely a useful text for understanding Tibetan Buddhism at the core and for comparative studies involving other systems of thought within Buddhism.

"This book presents a historical survey of Buddhism through the ages in the modern states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Himachal Pradesh in India, and West Punjab, Sind and North West Frontier Provinces in Pakistan. In other words, it covers the area from Delhi to Peshawar. Buddhism came to the ancient Punjab - Gandhara region through the Buddha himself, and gained a good hold within 300 years of the Mahaparinirvana of the Buddha. Thereafter, for more than 1000 years, Buddhism was the predominant religion of the people. A galaxy of Buddhist saints, scholars, poets and philosophers not only enriched the culture of the Punjab - Gandhara region but also influenced and moulded the destiny of Buddhism as a whole. Three of the illustrious Buddhist kings of India : Milinda, Kanishka and Harsha flourished in this region, while a fourth, the first Buddhist Emperor of India, Asoka the Great also started his career in the Punjab. Though Buddhism later disappeared from the plains but it managed to survive in the hilly regions, and even today is a living faith in the valleys of Lahul, Spiti and Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh."

1. Dattatreya’s Song of the Avadhut
: An English Translation of the Avadhut Gita (With Sanskrit Transliteration) A Classics of Mystical Literature Book/ S. Abhayananda. Delhi, Satguru, 2000, 170 p.,
ISBN 81-7030-675-2.
Price: Rs. 200
"Of all the mystical treatises of ancient Indian literature, The Avadhut Gita, or "Song of the Avadhut", is one of the most eloquent and compelling. Its theme is the unitive knowledge obtained through mystical vision, the knowledge of the eternal self. This knowledge is not limited to the mystics of any one cultural tradition, but is universal among all those who have attained to mystical vision.
"The author is The Avadhut Gita was enlightened by the same direct revelation which inspired the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and other such works. It must be read, therefore, not as the reiteration of a conceptual position, or as an argument for the Vedantic viewpoint, but as the sharing by an illumined sage of directly revealed truth. His aim in this sharing is not to convince us, but to awaken us to the truth, and liberate us from error.
"The Avadhut Gita is a call to knowledge, the supreme knowledge of ultimate truth. The Avadhut holds out no compromise with illusion, he offers no foothold on separation, he allows no semblance of duality at all to creep into our perception of reality. Perhaps has knowledge is, for mere men, too sublime, too austere, too simplistic; but it is the knowledge of the ultimate indisputable truth of existence; and it is this very truth which has the power to make us free."

2. Dattatreya : The Immortal Guru, Yogin, and Avatara :
A Study of the Transformative and Inclusive Character of a Multi-Faceted Hindu Deity/Antonio Rigopoulos. Reprint. First published in 1998. Delhi, Satguru, 2000, 342 p., pic., ISBN 81-7030-673-6.
Price: Rs. 300
Contents: Preface. 1. The genealogy of Dattatreya. 2. Puranic mythology of Dattatreya. 3. Dattatreya in minor Upanisads. 4. Dattatreya in the literature of the Mahanubhavas. 5. The Guru-caritra and the rise of the Dattatreya cult. 6. Eknath, Dasopant, and the unfolding of the Dattatreya movement. 7. The Tripura-rahasya. 8. The Avadhuta-gita. 9. The development of Dattatreya’s iconography. Conclusion. General bibliography. Selected bibliography on Dattatreya and his movement. Index.
From the preface: “This study presents the main phases in the making of the Hindu deity Dattatreya, from its Puranic emergence as an immortal Guru, Yogin, and Avatara, up to its celebration as the trimurti of Brahma, Visnu, and Siva. Focusing on the origin and development of this particular deity, one is brought into touch with virtually all major religious strands of that complex network of religions called Hinduism. Its assimilative force is witnessed by the variety of communities which appropriated Dattatreya from within an overall nondual philosophical framework: from the world of antinomian Tantrism to the world of Brahminical ritual orthodoxy, passing through the renunciatory milieux of Yoga, the Mahanubhava sect, Vaisnava devotionalism, Saiva asceticism, Saktism and Devi worship. Although one might envision the presence of plural Dattatreyas, construed in different ways within each given community, I would rather opt for the existence of a single multifaceted deity, constantly absorbing new traits in an ongoing process of cross-fertilization. Significantly, Dattatreya’s catalyzing force extends beyond the boundaries of Hinduism, also being linked to popular Sufism and Jainism.”

About the Book
"The author's primary insight is of extreme meaningfulness: every culture must confront the deterioration and death accompanying aging. How this confrontation has occurred in Indian culture has significance for understanding all cultures including contemporary advanced industrial cultures." -- Sheldon S. Tobin
The manner of aging is a cultural construct and there is a specifically Indian way of aging. That way is shown in this book through the anlyses of key concepts--aging (jara), stages of life (asarama), time (kala), determinate deeds (karma), desire (kama), change (parinama), and rejuvenative force (vaja).
The author offers important transcultural insights into the realities of aging, disease, and inevitable death faced by all. The composite Inidan religious tradition provides patterns for shaping the aging experience into a meaningful system of vital social values, ethical principles, and life goals, This analysis of the Indian approach provides significant clues for understanding aging in other cultures.
"The topic of aging in the Indian traditional has not before been given a systematic scholarly examination. India has important wisdom to offer, and this book sets that wisdom forth in a way that makes its history and content clearly available to modern scholars. Tilak does this in a thoroughly competent way using primary source documents in a careful and comprehensive way. He does not shy away from taking all aspects of aging into consideration: physical, social, cultural, spiritual." -- Harold Coward
"Outstanding and fascinating." -- Edmund Sherman
Shrinivas Tilak is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of British Columbia

Umapati's Commentary on the Pauskaratantra, Chapter 7. Pramana/translated by Usha Colas-Chauhan.
Delhi, Sri Satguru Pub., 2007, viii, 300 p., $28. ISBN 81-7030-857-7.
Contents: Acknowledgements. 1. Introduction. 2. Translation. 3. Text. Abbreviations and bibliography.
"The Pauskara, belonging to the class of literature generally known as Tantra or Agama, is an important text for the comprehension of Saiva philosophy. The seventh chapter of its doctrinal section (jnanapada) is not only a remarkable source of information on Saiva epistemology, but also a gold-mine of significant elements valuable for the study of early Indian logic. Umapati's commentary on this chapter introduces new features, sometimes in a post-15 century Navyanyaya dialectical style, and bears testimony to the evolution of Saiva epistemology.
This translation aims to bring an important aspect of Saiva philosophy to the attention of scholars and to facilitate comparative studies of Saiva epistemology."

The noble eightfold path. 12. An analysis and a summary.From the preface: "Much has been written about Yoga ever since the Theosophists "discovered" spiritual India, and not a little of a very uninformed nature which, in place of elucidating a complex mental science, has either perplexed the student or rendered the whole subject ridiculous. In this book it is my intention to abide by facts and simultaneously introduce sufficient cross references to other mystical systems, such as western magic and the Qabalah, to show that Yoga is one of a series of means of deliverance from worldly illusions. All these systems are closely related; for, in one sense, they and many others, such as Christian mysticism, Quietism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, are spiritual languages the words of which differ in sound but the meanings of which are identicalCopies from

The Buddha and the Christ : Explorations in Buddhist and Christian Dialogue/Leo D. Lefebure
The Buddha and the Christ : Explorations in Buddhist and Christian Dialogue/Leo D. Lefebure. Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1996, xxiii, 239 p., ISBN 81-7030-489-X.
Contents: Note on Orthography. Prologue: invitation to a journey : the prospects of Buddhist-Christian dialogue. I. The Buddha and the Christ : Introduction. 1. The life and teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha. 2. Jesus the Christ and Shakyamuni Buddha. II. Classical paths of transformation : Introduction. 3. Ascending and descending: The structure of Mahayana Buddhist experience and the Zen tradition. 4. Dionysius the Areopagite and Mahayana perspectives. 5. Pure land Buddhism. 6. Augustine and Mahayana Buddhism. III. Contemporary paths : Engaged Buddhism and theology of liberation: Introduction. 7. The Engaged Buddhism of Thich Nhat Hanh. 8. Gustavo Gutierrez and Thich Nhat Hanh : The theology of liberation in relation to engaged Buddhism. Epilogue. Notes. Select bibliography. Index.
"The similarities and differences between the traditions founded by Shakyamuni, called the Buddha, and Jesus, called the Christ, fascinate both scholars and students of religion. Interest burgeons as encounters between Christians and Buddhists increase, and as the world becomes smaller through technology and travel. By exploring the two religious founders through the lives and views of their followers The Buddha and the Christ introduces readers to major Mahayana Buddhist perspectives and explores the dynamics of discipleship•past and present•of both Christian and Buddhist traditions.
"The Buddha and the Christ begins with the lives and teachings of both Shakyamuni and Jesus. Lefebure then examines the classical paths of transformation they inspired: the Zen and Pure Land traditions of Mahayana Buddhism and the perspectives of the early Christians Dionysius the Areopagite and St. Augustine. Finally, he turns to the examples of two contemporary figures: the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh and the Peruvian priest Gustavo Gutierrez.
"Nowhere are the convergences and confluences of these two religious traditions as refreshingly illuminated and clarified as they are here. The Buddha and the Christ offers readers a vital and accessible view of the Buddha and the Christ that wonderfully captures the fruits of recent scholarship.

Buddhahood Embodied;Sources of Controversey in India and Tibet
Buddhahood Embodied;Sources of Controvesey in India and Tibet
www.srisatgurupublications.blogspot.comwww.indologystudies.blogspot.comBuddhahood Embodied : Sources of Controversy in India and Tibet/John J. Makransky. 1998, Delhi .Sri Satguru xix, 494 p., Rs.750Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The Buddha's body of Dharmas (Dharmakaya) in Sarvastivada Abhidharma. 3. The Buddha's embodiment of Dharma (ta) (Dharmakaya) in Prajnaparamita Sutras. 4. Embodiment of Buddhahood in its own realization: Yogacara Svabhavikakaya as projection of praxis and gnoseology. 5. Enlightenment's paradox: nondual awareness of the unconditioned (Svabhavikakaya) embodied in conditioned activity for beings (Sambhogikakaya, Nairmanikakaya). 6. The Abhisamayalamkara and its eighth chapter on Buddhahood. 7. Literary-critical analysis of Abhisamayalamkara, chapter 8: A map that project the three Kayas of Yogacara onto the Large Prajnaparamita Sutra. 8. Internal evidence that Abhisamayalamkara chapter 8: Teaches the three Yogacara Kayas. 9. Arya Vimuktisena on gnoseology and Buddhology in the Abhisamayalamkara. 10. Haribhadra's analytic-inferential perspective on Buddhahood: Buddha Dharmas as fourth "Body". 11. Responses by Indian scholars to Haribhadra's four Buddha bodies. 12. The controversy continues in tibet: Tsong Kha pa and Go ram pa. 13. Sources of controversy--nonabiding Nirvana and the Mahayana quest for authentic reinterpretation of the four noble truths. Notes. Selected bibliography. Index."To enter the Mahayana Buddhist path to enlightenment is to seek both to become free from our dualistic, deluded world and to remain actively engaged in that world until all others are free. How are these two apparently contradictory qualities to be embodied in the attainment of Buddhahood (Dharmakaya)? How can one's present practice accomplish that? These questions underlie a millennium old controversy over Buddhahood in India and Tibet that centers around a cherished text, the Abhisamayalamkara. Makransky shows how the Abhisamayalamkara's composite redaction, from Abhidharma, Prajnaparamita, and Yogacara traditions, permitted its interpreters to perceive different aspects of those traditions as central in its teaching of Buddhahood. This enabled Indians and Tibetans to read very different perspectives on enlightenment into the Abhisamayalamkara, through which they responded to the questions in startlingly different ways."The author shows how these perspectives provide alternative ways to resolve a logical tension at the heart of Mahayana thought, inscribed in the doctrine that Buddhahood paradoxically transcends and engages our world simultaneously. Revealing this tension as the basis of the Abhisamayalamkara controversy, Makransky shows its connection to many other Indo-Tibetan controversies revolving around the same tension: disagreements over Buddhahood's knowledge, embodiment, and accessibility to beings (in Buddha nature and through the path). Tracing the source of tension to early Mahayana practice intuitions about enlightenment, the author argues that different perspectives in these controversies express different ways of prioritizing those practice intuitions."bc@indianbookscentre.com www.indianbookscentre.com

"Since us appearance in China in the third century, The Lotus Sutra has been regarded as one of the most illustrious scriptures in the Mahayana Buddhist canon. The object of intense veneration among generations of Buddhists in China, Korea, Japan and other parts of the world, it has had a profound impact on the great works of Japanese and Chinese literature, attracting more commentary than any other Buddhist scripture.
"As Watson notes in the introduction to his remarkable translation, The Lotus Sutra is not so much an integral work as a collection of religious texts, an anthology of sermons, stories, and devotional manuals, some speaking with particular force to persons of one type or in one set of circumstances, some to those of another type or in other circumstances. This is no doubt one reason why it has had such broad and lasting appeal over the ages and has permeated so deeply into the cultures that have been exposed to it.

Introduction. 1. Background. 2. Srividya lineages. 3. Yantra Rahasya. 4. Mantra Rahasya. 5. Puja Rahasya. 6. Amnaya Pantheon.
"Srividya is discipline where abounds considerable mystery, esotericism and occultism. There is among common people quite some ignorance concerning its philosophy and practice. There is also a host of doubts and uncertainties among practitioners themselves. The presence of different tradition in Srividya is a further source of confusion. The textual background to Srividya has almost become obscure and obsolete; it has become more a matter of individual lineages of practices. In the circumstances there is a need for an authentic and comprehensive account of all three aspects of Srividya, viz. The Yantra, the Mantra and the Tantra. This book is an attempt to provide one.
Along with all textual details concerning the philosophy and practice of Srividya, relevant iconographic details with illustrations have also been given

Quotations from Buddhist Literature for Each Day in the Year
The Imitation of BuddhaQuotations from Buddhist Literature for Each Day in the YearErnest M. BowdenBibliotheca Indo Buddhica Series No.61146 pagesSri Satguru Publications (Delhi),ISBN: 81-7030-185-8
Price Rs. 200
About the Book
In this compilation no attempt has been made to present a general view of Buddhism as a religious or philosophical system. The aim has rather to turn Buddhism to account as a moral force by bringing together a selection of its beautiful sentiments and lofty maxims, and particularly by including some of those which inculcate mercy to lower animals. In the average Buddhist treatise , with its earnest exhortations, recurring as a matter of course , to show mercy on every living thing; and this difference along is an adequate reason for compiling a Buddhist anthology. The author has here supplied those who buy and use the book with rubies and sapphires and emeralds of wisdom, compassion and human brotherhood, any one of which, worn on the heart, would be sufficient to make the wearer rich beyond estimation for a day.

About the Book
A pioneer work in comparative philosophy. This book approaches the question of being through a range of traditions : the Greek, the Christian, the post-Nietzschean European, the Hindu, and the Buddhist. The question of being therefore is both a fresh, cross-cultural approach to a vital issue and also an example of comparative philosophy in action.
The editor’s introduction clarifies historically the concept of comparative philosophy from A.du Perron’s journey to Persia in the late 18 century to the work of such modern thinkers as Deussen, Jung and Aurbindo. Chapters by Owens and Kahn are concerned with the question of being in Greek philosophy; Gadamer, Adamczewski, and Scharff relate Heidegger’s thought variously to Plato and the Greeks, the Upanisads, and the question of being. From the eastern perspective : Halbfass examines the Indian realist school of Vaisesika with reference to Aristotle; Arapura writes of Advaita Vedanta thought of sat and brahman; Sprung discusses the importance of the Buddhist middle way in relation to the question of being ; and Mohanty contrast Vedanta, Nyaya, and Buddhist theories about being.

Nyayamanjari of Jayantabhatta
Nyayamanjari of Jayantabhatta (Ahnika-I)/English translation by V.N. Jha. 1995, Delhi. Sri Satguru.152 p.,
copies from.ibc@indianbookscentre.com. www.indianbookscentre.com
From the preface: "I have great pleasure in presenting the English translation of the first Ahnika of Nyayamanjari of Jayanta Bhatta. Jayanta Bhatta occupies a unique position in the history and development of Indian philosophy in general and Pracina Nyaya in particular. The author himself informs that the text was written in a cave where he was put by the king of that time. Nyayamanjari is an encyclopaedic exposition of the Pracina Nyaya. While writing this, Jayanta has taken into account all the relevant views of almost all the systems of Indian philosophy prevalent at his time. He has presented views of his opponent so elaborately and clearly that some times it is easier to understand the opponents from Jayanta's Nyayamanjari than from the original texts of the opponents. Jayanta, the poet-logician, has unique capacity of presenting clearly the issues in a very beautiful Sanskrit."

The Imitation of Sankara
The Imitation of SankaraBeing A Collection of Several Texts Bearing on the AdvaitaBy M.N. Dvivedi.Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 37Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-027-4
Price: Rs.200
Contents:
1. Prologue. 2. Brahman. 3. Self-identity. 4. The Means. 5. Liberation. 6. Conclusion. Index.
The present collection here is not entirely from the works of Sankara, but from all works bearing on the philosophy taught by Sankara and his followers. The whole collection is being divided into sections and sub-sections with a view to exhaust the main topics of the absolute philosophy. Texts from the Upanisads and other works are often referred to in Vedanta writings. That almost every important reference of this kind may easily be traced to its place in this collection, where it should be found in its entirety with translation, a careful alphabetical index has been appended in the end. Another index puts together the principal points of this philosophy, and directs even the most casual reader to whatever information this book can give on the questions and its bearings. Words not Englished in the text have been collected together for explanation in an index, to which the reader may conveniently refer
