The journey to the Kingdom of Yama. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Yama in Hindu mythology is the eschatologist and God of death. And is thus dreaded. Even in today's India there is a fearful hesitancy if not conscious avoidance of any talk about him. Yet paradoxically the phenomenon of death does not evoke a similar fear in the Indian psyche accepted as it is natural event a part of life just like poverty sickness and old age. Here is an insightful at once compelling exposition of the phenomenon of death based on plurimillennial tradition of the Hindus which despite the affirmation of western attitudes in certain elitist sections of the urban society has endured since the times of the Vedas and Indic civilization. Exploring contextually the age old Indian view of mortal existence from the very moment of an individual's conception to his/her journey to the Kingdom of Yama through the major phases of birth growth and ageing Professor Filippi Unveils a complex network of sentiments beliefs scriptural references customs hopes ritualistic practices and much else relevant to the great adventure of death. Notwithstanding the sentimental undertones of the mrtyu theme Dr. Filippi's work outstands for its rare scientific objectivity. It has grown from years of his rigorous research effort involving not only his extensive studies of Indian literature classical as well as modern but also his interviews with Indian Sanyasins Brahmanas relatives of the dead and the persons living around the cremation grounds. Together with visual material bibliographic references and a glossary of Non English terms the book holds out as much appeal to the general reader as to the specialist. 280 pp.
