From The Beginning Of History, Religion And Philosophy Has Been Admittedly The Most Vital Force In Shaping The Civilization At Various Developmental Stages. Although Many Scholars Have Worked On The History Of Oriental Religio-Philosophical Tradition, But No Such Complete And Comprehensive Work On This Subject Is Available To Us.

The Concentration Will Be Given On Hinduism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Taoism, Confucianism, Islam, Sikhism And On Other Minor Oriental Religio-Philosophical Tradition. In The First Phase Of This Project, We Have Released 5 Volumes Hinduism (3 Vols.) And Judaism (2 Vols.). Here, We Have Drawn 320 Entries From Hindu Religio-Philosophical Tradition And 178 Entries From Jewish Religio-Philosophical Tradition Which Reflects Its Own Diversity And Puts Them Together Into A Cogent And Harmonious Picture.In The Second Phase We Are Going To Release 5 Volumes On Zoroastrianism, Jainism And Buddhism In 2006.Similarly In Third Phase 5 More Volumes Will Be Added On Shintoism, Taoism, Confucianism And Other South-East And East Asian Religio-Philosophical Concepts. In Last Phase 5 More Volumes Will Be Added On Islam, Sikhism And Other Minor Oriental Religion And Philosophy.The Task Which We Have Performed Here Is, No Doubt, Beset With Difficulties But We Shall Consider Our Labour Amply Rewarded If This Monumental Work Is Found Useful By Scholars And Readers.

Encyclopaedia of Asian Philosophy and Religions by S. Kapoor Pdf

The reference literature for Asian philosophy is scant, probably because philosophy and religion are viewed in the West as more inextricably linked in Asian cultures. Many reference works address Asian religious traditions, but the Encyclopedia of Asian Philosophy and Religions aims to treat not only the philosophies but "religion" in so far as it relates to philosophy. Alphabetically arranged entries are signed by the scholars who wrote them and conclude with references. They range from ancient times through the modern era and include individuals, schools of thought, texts, and concepts. Topics are drawn from the traditions of Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Shinto, Sikhism, and Zoroastrianism and covers a wide geographic area. Extensive cross referencing and see also recommendations are used throughout. The encyclopedia makes the comparative study of the concepts and traditions of various religions as each major religious stream has been organized in a separate division. All divisions are organised alphabetically for ease of search and reference. The Encyclopaedia of Asian Philosophy and Religions is the first publication to satisfy the need for a vast introductory work in such a diverse field. The wide range of matter dealt with in these volumes presents the panoramic view of the civilization and the culture of Asians in different facets and in the different periods of history. Each entry is created in simple and easy to understand language summarizing the most important aspects of creative research and writings related to the specific topics. The extensive bibliographies provide additional sources for more information. The work, for its wide coverage and scholarship, should be an essential reference for students and teachers.

The Best Guide to Eastern Philosophy & Religion by Diane Morgan Pdf

The Best Guide to Eastern Philosophy & Religion provides a thorough discussion of the most widely practiced belief systems of the East. Author Diane Morgan understands how to direct the materialistic, linear way of Western thinking toward a comprehension of the cyclical, metaphysical essence of Eastern philosophy.

Learn the fundamentals of the tantric path to liberation and the relationship between sex and seeking. Discover the true meaning of Feng Shui, the philosophical underpinnings of Hatha Yoga and Taoist connection to the martial art of Tai chi chuan. And if you've ever wondered: what is the sound of one hand clapping?, this book will get you started on finding that answer. The Eastern traditions, with their emphasis on harmony and oneness, have much to offer us in our hectic, demanding lives. For a comprehensive, entertaining exploration of the beliefs of Asia, The Best Guide to Eastern Philosophy & Religion is the essential manual for the seeker in all of us.
