She has focused her practice for the last fifteen years on survivors of dissociative trauma (molestation, imprisonment, psychotic breaks, violent crime, and torture). These survivors had received, on average, five years of traditional Therapy and yet had not fully recovered. Determined to offer an alternative, McLaren found a swift, sure, and loving way to Help such survivors out of their traumas and back into the present. Her first two books, written for molestation survivors, Rebuilding the Garden and Further into the Garden (Laughing Tree Press, 1997) are chronicles of that process. After seeing firsthand the incredible confusion and damage caused by ungrounded, immature, and unsafe spiritual practices, she now writes to provide the same sort of no-nonsense spiritual information for everyone.

Larson (Author) - MLBD Publications","description":"The tradition of Samkhya is one of the oldest and most influential in the intellectual history of India. The fundamental notions of Samkhya namely prakrti, purusa, buddhi, ahamkara, manas and the three gunas provided the conceptual framework in which much of Indian philosophizing occurred and the classical formulations of Yoga and Vedanta together with many traditions of Buddhist philosophy and meditation developed vis-a-vis the intellectual perspective of the Samkhya. Similarly on a general cultural level the influence of Samkhya was profound and important over many centuries in such areas as law, medicine, ancient science and mathematics, logic, mythology, cosmology and ritual. This study traces the history of the Samkhya not only in the Indian intellectual tradition, but also in the traditions of historical criticism. The book also offers a new interpretation of the philosophical significance of the Samkhya, with special reference to the classical interpretation of the interaction of prakrti and purusa. In this edition author has also included a Chart of the Twenty five Basic Principles of the Samkhya, a Glossary of Samkhya Terminology, an additional Appendix which surveys recent scholarly work in the area of Samkhya together with a discussion of Samkhya in the Puranas and a revised Bibliography.\r\\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003eGerald James Larson is Rabindranath Tagore Prof. of Indian Cultures and Civilizations, and Director of the India Studies Program at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA.

Logic covers some of the subjects of Nyaya as well as Vasesika and is not co-extensive with either. The author has in this work clearly marked the principal stages of Indian logic in the vast period of about two thousand years beginning from 640 and has traced how from Anviksiki the science of debate Indian logic developed into the science of knowledge Pramanasastra and then into the science of dialectics Prakarana of Tarkasastra. The treatment of the subject is both historical and critical. The author has traced some Greek influence on Indian logic. For instance he has shown how the five membered syllogism of Aristotle found its way through Alexandria Syria and other countries into Taxila and got amalgamated with the Nyaya doctrine of inference.

In order to offer a more complete picture of the early medieval literature, aneffort has been made here to resurrect, from the critics and elsewhere, such once famous writers as Sarvasena, Candragomin, Matrgupta, Mentha and Brahmayasas, together with what is known of the mysterious Vikramaditya. To provide some social background to such aspects of criticism as trends in the characterisation of heroes, the history of the period (+200 to +600) is briefly touched on at the beginning of some of the chapters.

Like most mythologies, it is full of images of cosmic wars, apocalyptic destruction, and tragic heroes. But it is also the repository of as many stories about courtly love, self-sacrifice, ethical quandaries, and sophisticated philosophical edifices to rival (or even surpass) Augustine and Aquinas. And unlike Greek or Scandinavian mythology, Hindu mythology is also connected to a living religious tradition and helps to define the religious identity of hundreds of millions of Hindus. As scholars of Hinduism have learned, one is far more likely to draw protests when writing about Ganesa or Siva than when writing about Loki or Aphrodite. Indeed, as we shall see, scholars of Hindu mythology have recently found themselves enmeshed or implicated in India's religious conflicts. Many books have been written about the violence of religion, the religions of India, and the violence of the religions of India. But René Girard, who has spent the last four decades thinking and writing about religion and violence, has had virtually nothing to say about is until his lectures on the Sanskrit Brahmanas at the Bibliotheque nationale de France in October of 2002. This book presents a study of those lectures, published in English in 2011 as Sacrifice, in light of the rest of Girard's work, current Indological scholarship, and primary texts from the Hindu tradition. Along the way, it also visits the work of Girard's predecessors, heirs, rivals, and critics, examine some well-known and some frequently overlooked Hindu myths and rituals, and take some sidelong glances into Christian theology, contemporary philosophy, and Greek, Iranian, and Scandinavian literature.\r\\n\r\\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MLBD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53359240053099,"sku":"9788120841901","price":9.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/0445\/7067\/files\/hindu-mythology-and-the-critique-of-sacrifice.jpg?v=1780947100"},{"product_id":"indian-realism-by-jadunath-sinha-author-mlbd-publications","title":"Indian Realism - By Jadunath Sinha (Author) - MLBD Publications","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is an attempt at a reconstruction of the Yogyakarta subjective idealism and an exhaustive criticism of it by different schools of Indian realism. The exposition of the doctrine is based on the works of Santaraksita and Kamalasila and the critics of Vijnanavada. Generally the exposition and criticism of the doctrine by every eminent thinker have been given separately. Most of the critics give a fair and impartial account of Vijnanavada and contribute to the clarification of the idealist position. The author has dealt with the controversy between subjective idealism and realism in Indian thought and tried to give a fairly full account of the arguments by which Indian realists seek to establish the reality of the external world. Incidentally the Yogacara subjective idealism has been compared with the idealism of Berkeley and the sensationalism of Hume and the resemblances and differences between them have been briefly noted. A striking feature of the book is that the parallel arguments of many contemporary realists have been quoted simply to indicate that the philosophical genius of a particular type is apt to move in the same groove, irrespective of the soil it thrives in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MLBD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53359243362667,"sku":"9788120800854","price":7.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/0445\/7067\/files\/INDIAN-REALISM.jpg?v=1780947149"},{"product_id":"jainism-history-society-philosophy-and-practice-by-agustin-paniker-author-mlbd-publications","title":"Jainism: History, Society, Philosophy and Practice - By Agustin Paniker (Author) - MLBD Publications","description":"\u003cp\u003eJainism is a tradition which dates back thousands of years, which is unbelievably rich and profound and which has certain unmistakable signs of identity. Contrary to what some might think, it is not in any sense a poor relation of Buddhism, nor is a strange, atheistic and ascetic sect within Hinduism. Jainism is, above all, the religion of non-violence (ahimsa), an ideal which all other religions of India were subsequently to make theirs and which was made universal by Gandhi in the 20th century. Like Buddhism, Jainism is a religion without God which paradoxically opens to the truly sacred in the deepest reaches of all living beings in the cosmos.

Cross-cultural bridging, communication, and cooperation will be influenced by the content of this book. - Dr. Subramaniam Swamy in his FOREWORD The main point of elaboration here is that while NRI is a common name referred to people of Indian origin who have been outside India for an extended period of time, NRI is not a monolithic group, especially when one considers the Indian diaspora in different countries like Britain, Europe, Middle East, Canada, or now even in China and Korea. Each of these groups brings the same fundamental cultural connections but deal with different contrasting cultures outside. Thus, there will be slight differences in their NRI lens on India.

The doctrine of transmigration, since the later Vedic period, has played such an important part in the history of the national character and religious ideas that even buddhist literature has included the ages of the past as an authentic background to the founder's historical life as Gautama. Jataka stories or birth legends were widely known in the third century B.C. The Pali work, entitled \"The Jataka\" contains 537 Birth stories of the Buddha's former births. Each story, narrated by the Buddha, opens with a preface relating the particular circumstances in the Buddha's life, revealing some events in the long series of his previous existences as a bodhisattva. At the end the buddha identifies the different actors in the story in their present births. These stories magnify the glory of the buddha and illustrate buddhist doctrines and precepts by appropriate example. The foremost interest of these legends lies in their relation to folklore giving a vivid picture of the social life and customs of ancient India. The famous translations of the Jataka stories from Pali edited by Prof. E.B.

Sir Stein, recognising the inestimable value of the only work of its kind, succeeded in publishing the critical edition of the text as in 1892 which has been printed here as Vol. III. Later he followed this illustrious venture by presenting a fully annotated translation of the Chronicle, in two volumes, printed as Vol. I and Vol. II, the former containing the translation of the first seven tarangas from the original Sanskrit and the later that of the remaining eighth taranga.\r\\n\r\\nThe translation is preceded by a comprehensive and scholarly Introduction in which Stein has endeavoured to elucidate in the first place the data which can be gathered as regards the person of Kalhana, his family and the milieu in which he lived. In the second chapter (of the Introduction) the author has ex-amined as closely as our available materials would permit, the objects and methods which guided Kalhana in the composition of his work, the sources he used for it and the form which he gave to his narrative. The condition in which the text of the Chronicle has been handed down to us and the materials the author has used for its reconstitution, are discussed in the third chapter, while the text chapter contains an exposition of Kalhaha’s system of chronology. In the concluding and longest chapter of the Introduction it has been the author’s object to present a critical summary of Kalhana’s narrative and of the historical data contained in it. The Chronological and Genealogical Tables attached to the Introduction are intended to present in condensed form the information fur-nished by the Rajatarangini regarding the date and descent of successive rulers of Kashmir. The Memoir which follows (Vol. II) the Translation and Notes, pre-sents a connected and detailed account of the ancient geography of Kashmir.\r\\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"1qfcgm-5k19rh-nplwgg-nrkzzf\"\u003e\r\\n\u003cdiv id=\"aplusBrandStory_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"aplusBrandStory\" data-csa-c-id=\"5u55bf-3lv7ms-gnsgnd-wb4igm\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\\n\u003cdiv id=\"rightRail\" class=\"a-box btfRightRail\"\u003e\r\\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-box-inner\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MLBD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53359254012267,"sku":"9788178223247","price":37.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/0445\/7067\/files\/Kalhanas-Rajatarangini.jpg?v=1780947285"},{"product_id":"indian-epigraphy-by-dc-sircar-author-mlbd-publications","title":"Indian Epigraphy - By D.C.

Unfortunately, the history of this glorious epoch, which is an interesting chapter in the annals of human civilization, was lost and we have been reconstructing it on the basis of information gathered from various sources. Of these, epigraphy is the most important, since the major part of what we already know about ancient India is derived from the study of inscriptions.\r\\nIn the present work, Professor D.C. Sircar deals with various problems relating to Indian epigraphy and it is expected to be useful to people interested in ancient Indian history in general and Indian inscriptions in particular. Some of the topics discussed herein are: inscriptions and their evidence, languages in which the inscriptions are written, writing materials, the preparation and preservation of documents, copperplate grants, stanzas on bhumi-dana, Indian epigraphy abroad, systems of dating and the different eras, technical expressions including royal titles and official designations, taxes, land measures, nomenclature, etc.\r\\n\r\\nThere are thirty-six plates illustrating various types of epigraphical records.\r\\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003eD.

The reader would find the chapters on Mauryan Polity, Industry, Art, Religion, Language and Literature very interesting and instructive. \u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n                \u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n                        \u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MLBD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53359256338795,"sku":"9788120804661","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/0445\/7067\/files\/Age-of-the-Nandas-and-Mauryas.jpg?v=1780947343"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.mlbd.com\/collections\/history-culture.oembed?page=2","provider":"MLBD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
