Item description from seller

guter bis sehr guter Zustand, geringe Gebrauchs- und Alterungsspuren: Rückseite etwas beschabt - die beiden letzten Textseiten teils etwas schmutzfleckig - Schutzumschlag gering defekt "The aim of this booklet is to depict certain significant features of Varanasi, which constitute the core of Hinduism. Of all the sacred cities of India, it is Varanasi that represents the Heart of Hinduism. But to the common visitor, who is not initiated into the history, symbols, faiths, institutions and religious practices of Varanasi, the city appears as a wonderland and, very often, queer and fantastic. This work intends to introduce the readers into the inner significance of Varanasi and make him sympathetically familiar with the invisible meaning and purpose of the visible forms that meet his eyes. As will be evident from the contents of the book, the forms are many and varied, which have been selected for their importance. The author will feel amply rewarded, if it helps the visitors and readers in appreciating this most ancient and holy city of the East. He is greatful to all, whose works and opinions have inspired him." - The Most Vital and Mysterious City - Nomenclature and Situation - The Eternal City - India in Miniature - The Pillars of Faith - The Confluence of Faiths - Rituals and Festivals - The Seat of Hindu Learning - Foreign Recognition of Varanasi as the Greatest Centre of Hinduism - Varanasi a Practical Path to Self-Realization - The Last Aspiration of a Hindu - An Abiding Symbol of Hinduism Seitenanzahl: 150 Seiten mit einigen Illustrationen Format: ca. 12 x 17,5 kartoniert Englisch.…
