Essence of Eastern Spirituality and Western Philosophy (final) (original) (raw)
2021, Authors Press New Delhi
The speciality of this spiritual-philosophical book is that the subjects are ancient; taking us to the past when Rishis, Saints, Prophets and Philosophers blessed humans with their knowledge and insights, their lifelong experiences, golden ideas and advice which have since the olden times been discussed, elucidated and spoken of by many learned scholars, philosophers and others of different ages from spiritual and religious points of view, from materialistic angles or judged otherwise. Authors of this book are most modern in their thoughts and ideas in spite of the fact that most of them are very senior among contemporary writers. They have discussed the age-old knowledge refined in their multilingual, multidimensional modern cauldron of culture and understanding. All of them are more or less free from bigotry and narrowness. Four of the seven authors are poets first before any other type of composer, scholar, writer or artist. In professional life one was a member of the Indian Administrative Service, one was a member of the Indian Police Service, one was a member of Indian Revenue Service and another a legal expert; of them two were members of the Judicial Tribunal. One is a Professor and Academician and the other is a University Professor Emeritus. One was a banker (a Bank Executive). So the book is a meeting place of various professionals who merged into the vast field of poetry and literature which include all professions and go beyond to embrace life and whatever is or is not there beyond life. The works of poets and litterateurs embrace all and goes beyond.

Philosophy in general connects with human value, human life, family, society, nature, and the universe, and change is professed through the human mind, knowledge, reality, reason, and illusion, and relatively shares to pursue goodness to live a pleasing life.
THE STUDY OF SPIRITUALITY: THOUGHTS FROM THE CHRISTIAN EAST
This paper is offered as an example of a human science approach to the study of spirituality as a universal human experience. From the author’s perspective, spirituality is not only a universal element of human experience, but (because I equate spirituality with human freedom), spirituality is THE foundationally quality of the human. The thesis to be tested is this: Through a careful consideration of themes central to a specific spiritual tradition (in this case, the relationship of communion and asceticism in the Eastern Christian liturgical spirituality), we can come to an appreciative critical understanding not only of that tradition, but also of themes foundational to all human spiritualities.
