Hindu Magazines
Hindus (; ; also known as Sanātanīs) are people who religiously adhere to Hinduism, also known by its endonym Sanātana Dharma.Jeffery D. Long (2007), A Vision for Hinduism, IB Tauris, , pp. 35–37 Historically, the term has also been used as a geographical, cultural, and later religious identifier for people living in the Indian subcontinent. It is assumed that the term ''"Hindu"'' traces back to Avestan scripture Vendidad which refers to land of seven rivers as Hapta Hendu which itself is a cognate to Sanskrit term ''Sapta Sindhuḥ''. (The term ''Sapta Sindhuḥ'' is mentioned in Rig Veda and refers to a North western Indian region of seven rivers and to India as a whole.) The Greek cognates of the same terms are "''Indus''" (for the river) and "''India''" (for the land of the river). Likewise the Hebrew cognate ''hōd-dū'' refers to India mentioned in Hebrew BibleEsther 1:1. The term "''Hindu''" also implied a geographic, ethnic or cultural identifier for people li ...

Sisir Kumar Maitra
Sisir Kumar Maitra (born 19 January 1887, Calcutta, India, died 1963) was Head of the Department of Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Banaras Hindu University. His writings compared Eastern and Western philosophy, and the teachings of Sri Aurobindo in comparison with Western philosophers.

Later he discovered Sri Aurobindo, and in a number o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

World Union
The world is the totality of entities, the whole of reality, or everything that exists. The nature of the world has been conceptualized differently in different fields. Some conceptions see the world as unique, while others talk of a "plurality of worlds". Some treat the world as one simple object, while others analyze the world as a complex made up of parts. In scientific cosmology, the world or universe is commonly defined as "the totality of all space and time; all that is, has been, and will be". Theories of modality talk of possible worlds as complete and consistent ways how things could have been. Phenomenology, starting from the horizon of co-given objects present in the periphery of every experience, defines the world as the biggest horizon, or the "horizon of all horizons". In philosophy of mind, the world is contrasted with the mind as that which is represented by the mind. Theology conceptualizes the world in relation to God, for example, as God's creation, ...

Mother India (journal)
''Mother India'' is the Sri Aurobindo Ashram's originally fortnightly, now monthly, cultural review. It was started in 1948, the founding editor being K. D. Sethna (Amal Kiran), who continues as editor for over fifty years. History ''Mother India'' began as a semi-political fortnightly, and needed Sri Aurobindo's sanction before material in it could be published. Although Sri Aurobindo himself did not write in ''Mother India'', his interest in important issues of the time was reflected in the writings of his disciple Amal Kiran, the editor of the journal. For example, his message on Korea with its prediction of Stalinist communism's designs on South East Asia and India through Tibet, was originally sent in private to Amal Kiran and became the basis of one of the editorials. All the editorials were submitted to Sri Aurobindo for approval, and most were found to be impeccable, although on a few occasions small but significant changes were made. Sri Aurobindo once remarked in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
