“अहोरात्र शब्द अहः एवं राि इन दो शब्दों से मिलकर बना है। ‘अहः च रािः च’ ऐसा विग्रह द्वारा द्वन्द्व समास होकर ‘अहोरा’ शब्द निष्पन्न होता है। सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति विषयक अनेक सिद्धान्त आचार्यों द्वारा दिये गये हैं। उन सिद्धान्तों में से सृष्टि सम्बन्धी अहोराविषयक सिद्धान्त अहोरावाद के नाम से जाना जाता है। ऋग्वेद के “नासदीय सूक्त” में सृष्टिविषयक अन्य सिद्धान्तों के साथ अहोरावाद का भी उल्लेख मिलता है। ऋग्वेद के अघमर्षण सूक्त (१०.१९०.३) में कहा गया है कि निमेष मा में ही जगत् को वश में करने वाले परमपिता ने दिन और रात का विधान किया। श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता (८.१७) के अनुसार ब्रह्मा का जो एक दिन है, उसको एक हजार चतुर्युग तक की अवधिवाला और राि को भी एक हजार चतुर्युग तक की अवधि के रूप में जो जानते हैं, वे योगीजन काल के तत्त्व को जानने वाले हैं। बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् में भी सृष्टि प्रक्रिया के प्रसंग में अहोरा शब्द का अनेक प्रयोग मिलता है। इस उपनिषद् के प्रारम्भ में यज्ञसम्बन्धी अश्व को आधार बना कर उसके अवयव का वर्णन किया गया है। तदनुसार उस यज्ञीय अश्व के सामने महिमारूप से दिन प्रकट हुआ। राि इसके पीछे महिमा रूप से प्रकट हुई। विद्यावाचस्पति पं˚ मधुसूदन ओझा ने सृष्टिविषयक अहोरावाद मत के विषय में विविध वैदिक सन्दर्भों का आलोकन कर अहोरावाद नामक ग्रन्थ का प्रणयन किया है। यह ग्रन्थ कुल १२ अधिकाराें में विभक्त है। प्रतिज्ञा एवं उपसंहार को छोड़कर इस ग्रन्थ के १० अधिकाराें में ज्ञान-अज्ञान, शुक्ल-कृष्ण, प्रकाश-अन्धकार, भाव-अभाव, सृष्टि-प्रलय, द्यावा-पृथिवी, ऋत-सत्य, सप्ताह, यज्ञ और चातुर्हो ये दस विषय वर्णित हैं। अहोरावादविमर्श नामक इस ग्रन्थ में विद्यावाचस्पति पं˚ मधुसूदन ओझाजी के द्वारा प्रणीत सृष्टि प्रतिपादक अहोरावाद नामक ग्रन्थ का विमर्श प्रस्तुत किया गया है। जिसमें अहोरावाद के विविध विषयों को आधार बनाकर आमिन् त विद्वानों के द्वारा लिखे गये विमर्शात्मक शोधपत्रों का संकलन तथा अहोरात्रवाद ग्रन्थ की मूल प्रतिलिपि को कारिकानुक्रमणिका एवं शब्दानुक्रमणिका के साथ समाहित किया गया है।”

Sale!Abhinavaguptas Hermeneutics of the Absolute ₹1,620.00
The Paratrishika Vivarana by the great Kashmiri philosopher and mystic Abhinavagupta is an extensive commentary on the Paratrishika Tantra, and it is one of the most profound texts, not only of non-dualist Kashmir Shaivism, but of Indian philosophy and mysticism in general. The present work attempts to make this difficult text accessible, by culling out the important themes and offering an interpretation. The main focus is on the understanding of the Absolute (Anuttara) and the ways to realize it. The central theme of mantra also leads to a mysticism of language with its philosophical implications. All these reflections and practices are inscribed in the theory that everything is related to the totality, every part contains the whole of reality (sarvam sarvatmakam). It is this holistic vision of Abhinavagupta, based on the Tantras, which makes this work so relevant in our times of fragmented aspects of life and knowledge in search of integration. No doubt, in the view of the Tantra and of Abhinavagupta, language and mantra provide the key.
This fascinating book is an important contribution to studies and interpretations on Kashmir Shaivism, its spirituality and philosophy, and on Abhinavagupta in particular. -
Sale!Vada in Theory and Practice ₹1,170.00
Vada, meaning debates, dialogues, discussions, was the quintessential of Indian spirit, enabling and promoting the growth of different philosophical and knowledge systems of India. It percolated deep into our mindset and enriched the moral, ethical, religious and sociocultural edifice of anything that was essentially Indian in nature. As continuation of Anvikshiki from the bc era, vada helped thrive Indian traditional knowledge systems. It subsists on diversity and its tradition envisages pluralism.
Most of our Sanskrit works, covering a wide gamut of knowledge systems, are structured in the techniques of debate. This reality applies not only to the philosophical writings, but to Indian medical systems (Ayurveda), Arthashastra of Kautilya and Kamasutra of Vatsyayana as well. Even great epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata are no exceptions.
Vada culture involved verbal duals, attacks and even violence of speech, and all major religious systems — old or modern — were parties to it. This book also elucidates how vata was vital and critical for the growth of our socio-political fabrics. It shows how some of the major conflicts in philosophical systems were centred around karma, jnana, choice between violence and non-violence, pravritti and nivritti. It also presents the manifestations of vada on a vast canvas during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Modern spiritual and religious gurus like Ramana Maharshi, J. Krishnamurti and Vinoba Bhave were men of dialogues. Our scholars have applied the varied techniques of vada against the philosophical and scientific systems of the West to prove them correct.
This collector’s issue should enthrall a wide audience of philosophers, scholars and believers in Indian knowledge systems. -
Sale!Science and Spirituality ₹900.00
A dialogue between science and spirituality is a necessity in our times where both, differences and mutual enrichment of the two great fields of human approach to reality, are taking place. This volume addresses this need from the perspective of different areas of science and spiritual traditions. The starting point is the intention of the founder of the IIAS, Dr S. Radhakrishnan, who saw that “both the practice of science and experience of spirituality are intimately related to being human”. Although much thought has gone into their relationship, the present volume intends to broaden and deepen the possibility of a harmonious integration, necessary to overcome the present-day crisis of humanity.
From the side of science, the contributors come from the fields of physics, plant biology, neuroscience, psychology, ecology and philosophy of science; and from the side of spirituality, following traditions and spiritual masters are represented: PÀtaðjala Yoga, Trika Œaivism of Kashmir, VedÀnta, Buddhism, Christianity, Theosophy, and Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda and J. Krishnamurti. The deliberations included topics such as Awareness in plants, Neuroplasticity and Habit, appropriate use of terms such as “Consciousness” and “Energy” in different contexts, clarifying several issues concerning the on-going dialogue. The contributing scholars have built “bridges of understanding”, thus encouraging the reader to proceed further in this quest. -
Sale!Action, Freedom and Responsibility ₹675.00
This book, a work on human doing, analyses and applies three central aspects of human life – Action, Freedom and Responsibility – in the wide spectrum of the Philosophy of Mind. Reflections on these issues and their interconnections have a significant effect on the Philosophy of Value and application of ethical theories in practical life. This book even reconstructs the conceptual connection between action and freedom, on the one hand, and that between freedom and responsibility, on the other.
It also puts the concepts of freedom and determinism to critical test and reinterprets them from different angles and perspectives. The conventional doctrine of karma, based on the teachings of the Bhagavadgātā, is relieved from its usual deterministic presentation and a logically reasonable explanation is offered.
Human actions and human agency are central concepts in the philosophy of mind and action. Free will and responsibility constitute the bedrock of the moral life of the human agents and the book pinpoints that freedom is meant to undertake the goal-oriented actions. It is, therefore, focused on the enquiry into the various aspects of philosophy of mind, as well as the philosophy of value.
