Items related to Experiencing One World
Is 'One World' a Utopian ideal? Or just a dream in a world which today, more than ever before, stays riven by parochial, deep-rooted barriers : nationalistic, ethnic, religious, linguistic and many other, leave alone a whole diversity of divisive 'isms'? An eminent exponent of Vedantic philosophy here examines this question afresh to suggest that the one-world dream could become a reality, if Man only learnt to cultivate the unitive vision. Essentially a vital part of Nataraja Guru's globally wide educational programme, Experiencing One-World seeks to evolve "one-world consciousness" that tunes Man to look beyond the trees to stars, to turn on his mind to world fraternity, and to discern the language of audiovisual arts and the charm of poetry as, for instance, is manifest in the world of architecture and music. Spelling out Nataraja Guru's view of One-World that embraces his long-contemplated perspec-tives on one-world government, one-world economics, world education, one religion, unified sciences and a language of unified sciences, the book highlights the specialties of well-groomed unitive consciousness of a world citizen, who wishes not only to restructure the existing scheme of things, but also to see mankind live a better life and with dignity. AUTHOR DETAILS: Nataraja Guru, the direct disciple of the great philosopher-poet-yogi Narayana Guru, studied at the Sorbonne (Paris), specializing in Educational Psychology. And his D. Litt thesis: Le Facteur Personnel dans le Processus Educatif, written under the guidence of Henri Bergson, won high critical acclaim. In 1923, he founded at Varkala, Kerala, Narayana Gurukula : a spiritual school patterned on guru-shishya-parampara, which today has branches all over South India and extends beyond to Singapore, Europe, USA, Australia and the South Pacific. Besides his translations and commentaries on Narayana Guru's works, he has written on wide-ranging subjects that reflect a correlation between science and mysticism, which in turn, have made an epochal contribution to the advancement of philosophic thought. Indubi-tably, Nataraja Guru was a brilliant exponent of Advaita Vedanta. And, more than that, an absolute lover of humanity, invested with unitive consciousness. 1996, x, 386 p.; Foreword; Index; 23 cm.
