Infos

The book is a pioneering study applying a hermeneutic approach in the study of religious symbols in Hinduism. This is a departure from the conventional methodology employed in studying religion in India so far. The book provides a purely Indian theory of society called nilictic theory and draws heavily for its source on sacred writings of Hinduism like Vedas. Upanishads, epics, myths and fables. Employing hermeneutics and transcendental dialectics the book covers such basic areas as Death, Re-birth, myth-making and interpretations From these it moves on to examine the work of the modern Hindu thinkers such as Sri Aurobindo and Sri Raman Maharishi. Nilictic theory and hermeneutic reformulations are used profusely in interpretations. The work, therefore, symbolizes definitive forward thrust to the finder of en age old tradition and its incisive interpretations. This is also a compulsory reading for those interested in the philosophical dimensions of use of symbols in Hinduism.
