| Since ancient times,
philosophers and scholars have attempted to study and analyse the profound
thoughts of the Upanishads in order to unravel their true meaning. The
lectures presented here are a fresh analysis of the Upanishadic thinking with
respect to reality, knowledge and consciousness. Prof. Puligandla here
attempts to reveal the central Upanishadic insights and the significance of
the observations to modern scientific thought. He comes up with some
important ideas on the nature of the ultimate reality, compatibility of
science, religion and philosophy, and the Upanishadic teaching vis-a-vis
modern science. He also successfully dispels crucial misunderstandings of
Shankara’s philosophy and that of Nagarjuna. The speciality of the book is
the author’s novel interpretation of mysticism as an effective instrument of
Brahma jnana or knowledge of Reality. In a bold and intellectually
stimulating presentation, Prof. Puligandla shows that the mysticism of the
Indian tradition, far from being illogical or irrational, is meant to awaken
and inspire the seeker’s mind for the quest of the ultimate reality. Such
knowledge even transcends all forms of catogorial knowledge. This work is an
extremely absorbing scholarly masterpiece characterized by a unique understanding
of Upanishadic thought. Its lively yet analytical discussion of the
Upanishads would present a new perspective to serious scholars of
philosophy. |
