All theistic philosophies of the world conceive of a Supreme God but none except Indian Vedanta Metaphysics of the two great schools, Advaita and Visishtaadvaita, ventures deeply to inquire further into the real nature of Godhead: Is God an abstract ideal, “nirguna”? Or a paragon of ideal qualities, “saguna”?
This book explains the uniqueness of the Visishtaadvaita interpretation of Theism in contradistinction to the Advaitin’s.
Although its subject is a formidable one, the book written in a very novel format renders Vedanta Metaphysics intelligible to even a common reader and layman.

Vedanta is considered by the common man as it is to do with spirituality and does not concern him. On the contrary, Vedanta is very much relevant to every living being to lead a life of sreyas to oneself and to society. Vedanta talks about Tattva (realities), Hita (means) and Purusartha (the goal). In Visistadvaita tattva is further classified as three realities cit (the sentient) acit (the insentient) and isvara the controller of the other two. It is the relationship between these three which is so significant, and that is what is discussed by all acaryas. The cit, when it is associated with acit in the form of sarira, is able to transact with the grace of Isvara to attain moksa the goal, the purusartha. Cit like Isvara is unperishable and it survives even after the body is dead. It enters another body based on the karma-phala that had fructified. This study is a comparison of the above concept as described by two great Vaisnava acarvas namely Pillai Lokacarya and Svami Desika.

| Imagine a world where you’re surrounded by people, yet alone. In this world, your mind stops time just as things progress from bad to worse so that your endless fall into the abyss of fear is nothing more than a flash flood of horrible memories and regrets. This is the world of one man — a man whose quest for answers and redemption leads him into just such an inescapable world. Join him as he goes on a journey through his mind, through the light and the dark, to the furthest reaches of his heart and mind, hoping desperately to find the answers that will give him a semblance of peace while he holds onto the few things that still make him smile. This is the world of ‘The Forsaken.’ “Every coin has two sides, and every side has two reasons. Every reason has an explanation. The deeper you go, the more detailed it gets; the more the detail, the harder the quest. Whether God is in the details or the Devil is,we may never know.” |

Herald Pinter (1930-2008) was a British author who won the Nobel prize for Literature in 2005. He said about cricket, ‘I tend to think that cricket is the greatest thing that God ever created on earth.’Morals and values are the things that make a human life complete. We only emphasize on Universal values that can be followed by all the people of the world, irrespective of their caste, creed, language, religion, sex, nationality and the like. The human tendency is such that if they are forced to follow something they will resist it. Character and behaviour have to be moulded carefully over the years. So how do we do that? This is where one thought cricket could be useful. If values can be taught through stories why should it not be done through cricket? This is the motto behind writing this book. In the first chapter which is an Introduction to the volume, the role of philosophy in cricket is discussed. In the other chapters also, a judicious mixture of cricket and philosophy is served out in order to make it look like a delicious dish made out of milk and sugar. It is for the readers to enjoy it.

“Pessimistic thoughts are devilish whereas an optimistic mindset is the real
intrinsic asset behind a fruitful outcome.” Problems, obstacles, and the
agony a person has can be of many reasons. The Mindful fact that one has to
recognize the consequences and must be aware of real life glorifies a
person’s living by application of his/her broadened intellect. Life is not just
about being professional or just being personal. It is a combination of both.
